The first and second impression very good.

I have a few weeks ago looking for a good, affordable multimedia notebook and was among other things, "10 multimedia notebooks in the Test Top" on the Asus N551JK-CN166H encountered in Notebookcheck in the heading, what my wishes and in terms of price / performance was very close ,
For Notebookcheck Asus N551JK-CN166H was overall very positive, which differs only by the slightly weaker dual core CPU Intel Core i5-4200H of the offered here Notebook CN167H.
The negative reviews here on Amazon who then irritates me a bit, but as a return on Amazon, if necessary, runs without any problems, I have the notebook and I still indulged a try.
My copy arrived two days after the order and as stated in the article description listed completely undamaged with me. Design and arrangement of the various connections like very much. Unlike my 3 year old DELL It has a separate numeric keypad, something that I had missed more frequently. On the screen resolution (IPS display) and color brilliance, there is nothing to complain about.
Sound-wise the Asus comes in spite of the four built-in speakers and the external subwoofer not quite on my DELL zoom, overall I'm happy with the sound.
The menu-guided initial setup, including wireless connection to a Fritzbox and Bluetooth connection to a headset, opened thanks to some experience fairly straightforward, although as usual these days, unfortunately, only a few written pages accompanying Quick Start Guide, the actual instructions are included as a file on the computer.
However W8.1 during the first attempts but getting used to.
I was completely confused when I lodged a Blu-ray movie into the drive and nothing happened.
After some research, I had to discover then that W8 does not have the appropriate software (codecs) to play commercial movies, only after I had invited me appropriate software (eg Power DVD, Leawo VCL or) was also solved this problem.
Another software I have also tried the same that led to the DELL (Core i7-2670) about issues that Space Engine - (a free space simulation program) is an extremely computationally intensive program works perfectly on the Asus.

A truly conclusive judgment, I do not want to make after 3 days, so far I am with my purchase but quite satisfied - the device is pleasantly quiet, well suited for my needs as a prolific writer, is heating up even after prolonged operation at excessively, starts thanks the 24GB SSD intrigued very quickly and with 1TB offers enough space for my extensive photo and video collections.
