Asus G75VX (laptop) with some aftermarket parts (x2 -- one for home, one for work) Intel HM77 Chipset with a i7 3630QM, 32GB of DDR3 1600 MHz (Crucial), 2x M500 960GB SSDs (Crucial), GeForce GTX 670MX with 3GB GDDR5, 17.3" screen (1920x1080, amazing matte screen, my favorite feature). Cons: Ugly as hell. Heavy as hell. Battery life is terrible. The chicklit keyboard seems to require a breaking in period of about a month. Stupidly wide bezzle around the 17.3" monitor (just because the rest of the laptop is to big). Pros: That ugly design creates the best cooled laptop I have ever worked with, it is a joy to game on for hours, best matte screen I have used on any laptop, tons of USB ports (USB3), and overall I would buy it again. Relatively clean audio out for high end headphones (Shure SE530), but at home I still use a external usb soundcard. Naturally spaced keyboard + numpad is awesome. EDIT: I am also a bit of an Asus loyalist at this point, as it is the only company that has built laptops that survive the way I treat them. Apple, Dell, Acer, Sony (worst!) all fall apart on me. That said, I understand that the Lenovos are built like tanks and have similar features.
