A quick advisory to new buyers, do not the trust the bag that now comes with this laptop. It is an off-brand black made in china messenger bag, and the rotating attachments on the shoulder strap are flimsy. Mine gave out after about a weeks use, causing the bottom let corner of the screen and hinge shell to become partially unattached and loose. If you get this bag with your machine, I recommend replacing the shoulder strap attachments with your own (I'm now using some carabiners).
Other than that issue, I completely agree with the previous posters, the laptops performance is great, in play quality and cooling. The external speakers are great, though the headphone jack tends to be on the tinny side, especially when listening to voice playback (such as in an LP). Chicklet keyboard is very nice, even if the Fn volume keys are in a very silly place...

Very impressed with this laptop and with Xotic. This chassis does not get hot; only one area becomes warm under load (Folding@Home on cpu&gpu). The battery is well-protected against thermal damage. The fans can get noisy on full load, rivalling my main rig with an nVidia Titan. The noise is diffuse though, like Brownian noise, and is not intrusive. The chiclet keyboard is about par for a laptop. The matte finish for the palmrests and touchpad are awesome.
The box only had a power brick, the laptop, and a warranty card. The hard drive was not formatted (it was initialized, however). All enthusiast laptops should be delivered this way, in my opinion.
The wide-gamut screen is very good. I am a photographer, and after calibrating, the display renders images faithfully. Glare is also minimal--less than my desktop matte display, even. The only negative aspect about this display is slight color bleed during rapid transitions (i.e. average response time). This can be noticeable on satura..

OK, second round. I'm a little pissed off I spent at least 20 min writing a review and when I clicked continue, it made me sign in again. Lost everything I had written. Terrible site mechanics.
That being said I will attempt this one more time. The Sager/Clevo NP9170 is a fantastic machine. They are not the most elegant, but the beauty is not on the outside. These laptops offer by far the most customization options as compared to any other laptop in it's class. Obviously, a Falcon or Alienware will put this one to shame but also devastate your pocketbook. Performance vs price has a sweet spot, and this is it. This played a key role in my decision to get a Sager, the ability to upgrade and treat it more like a desktop replacement than a high-end laptop. My build consisted of the following - Core i7 Ivy bridge build, 8gb RAM, AMD 7970m, 120gb SSD, 750gb HDD, BR Optical drive, Centrino 6300 Wireless N, Win 7 Pro. Everything else was unnecessary or upgrade-able independently at a cheap..

My old laptop broke and I was in the market for a new one, this just came out and it might be the best bang for your buck laptop I can find. The only downside to some is the integrated graphics, but the intel 4000 that is comes with is very solid for a $500 computer. I am able to play dayz on medium to low settings with little to no lag. It is very thin, looks great! It was also my first experience with Windows 8 and it gets lots of bad reviews but I am pleased with it. The only gripe I can think of is I occasionally accidentaly zoom or use windows shortcuts with the trackpad but that's because I have never used a nice one like this before. Asus does install a lot of their softwares on the computer which one may want to go and delete. This computer has plenty of RAM and HDD space aswell. Battery life is average or above average compared to some.
I know that all sounds hard to believe for such a reasonably priced computer but it's all true. I am very, very happy I went with this one..

Excellent build quality. Highest price to functionality on the website! Service from XoticPc is extraordinary and I recommend them for any pc/laptop upgrade. This is my 2nd laptop from them and I can say that I am thoroughly satisfied!
This machine runs smoothly, relatively quiet, and its specs are top notched.
Overall 9.5/10 =)
