Great for gaming, some design flaws.

I'm a soldier and I travel all the time, that being said I like a laptop that can play the latest games and perform well for a good price. This is my second
ASUS laptop and I am convinced that this company is waaaay better than DELL and their overpriced craptops. This is the cheapest laptop with a geforce 260m I can find and this card will play the latest games right now at maximum laptop resolution on high (Modern Warfare 2, Dragon Age Origins). It doesn't overheat like most gaming laptops and it is over-clockable to 15% extra performance (haven't overclocked while playing the new games yet though). Battery life last for about 2 hours (set on battery saving and mainly surfing the net with wireless on). I don't know anyone who uses a gaming laptop unplugged on performance settings (unless they are just ignorant). Someone mentioned the plug being a brick, they obviously haven't seen dell xps power brick or some of the alienware ones. The problems? This thing is a fingerprint magnet (grrrr). The touch pad is annoying, especially when you are typing, it's too big and when you palm brushes on it, it moves your cursor everywhere. There is a second slot for more storage (added a 500gb 7400 rpm hd) but it does not come with a bracket (it's bracketless atm). I won't gig the laptops battery life because this is a GAMING laptop, want something that will last for a while unplugged get a Mac or a netbook. Some letters on the keyboard double types sometimes, to fix these problems I usually turn off the touchpad and use a mouse instead. I recommend this product over DELL or Alienware, yes they may be the premium of gaming laptops and they are upgradeable but it will costs you a new laptop's price to upgrade those computers, and this laptop is upgradeable too, everything but the gpu. Overall very happy, (mainly because I can play DAO anywhere).
