Re: Asus... junk or gem?

Any "Ultrabook" is going to be shitty for games. They're designed to be very thin and thus they're not very powerful (Intel on-board graphics).

Beyond that, I have an ASUS gaming laptop that's about 18 months old now (17", looks kind of like the Stealth Fighter, quite heavy). The power connector fell off the motherboard after 3 months, leaving it unable to charge the battery; ASUS did repair it under warranty no fuss after exchanging some Chinglish emails ;-) It's served me pretty well other than that; the Nvidia GPU makes short work of most games at pretty high settings, the 1080P screen is nice, and the CPU's fast enough for MAME.
