Asus makes good laptops. Why don't you post the specs so people do not have to go hunting around to see what you are looking at.

Hell yes! Beats the "standard" Alienware in everything. Maybe not up to Clevo standard, but still very good.

Screen res is only 1600X900, but I think you will be able to live with that.
