Asus offers here primarily with various performance and the software sector with all kinds of extra features and thus serves primarily multimedia fanatics and gamers. The design is relatively simple, on the whole, but just the feel, at least I as rather positive. All in all, the housing has a sophisticated look, in addition, on the front panel USB ports, headphone / Mikreingang and behind the top drive slot to find card reader. The inner values: The PC will start very quickly, what had ever suffer under the burden of autostart programs in models of past generations. Because of the high memory clock makes already noticeable. Asus are apart from Windows 8, which still encounters on more criticism from many quarters, pre-installed Quick-Launch elements like the Asus Launcher. So you can continuously at the top of the screen on four major program groups (multimedia, cloud, etc.) to access at least a way to get around the beautiful Start menu. Preloaded Music Maker and Video Easy are also for professionals certainly not quite true but nice to play around a bit with music and video editing and therefore also for beginners and other interested parties well suited. Exciting is the remote control feature that allows you to access via smartphone to the computer or data can wake him from hibernation. In combination with the Asus AiPlayer app can stream into the WLAN as well as music data of the computer over phone. The trouble Aich technology enables fast charging USB devices, which also works well in most cases. Gamers will graphically probably come at their expense, at least the promise that used 3D benchmark. In terms of volume and temperature I have, however, a star pull ... cooling is indeed maintained the computer permanently, but the price is a permanent rather pesky fan noise Had the PC are however also on the table, hiding under the desk that will probably be somewhat milder. But of course the question is whether at the price you can not expect at least some semblance of quiet computer. Who does not want to convert itself Chassis Fan and his associates, but can still hope for an update of the fan control. Conclusion: All in all a solid package that meets the demands, the only major downside in my opinion, as I said the volume, then already restricted the use of leisure / gaming. There are I think much cheaper and quieter (and less powerful) models to work.
