I know many people have issues with their ASUS products and come here to complain ( and rightfully so ). But I gotta say. I have now owned my ASUS GL702VMK for 18 months and have traveled back and forth with it everyday in a backpack and have honestly not really had one serious issue with it that could not be solved fairly quick. I game with it on average 3-4 hours a day and definitely put it through the paces. I was able to use the popular bag of tricks to mitigate heat and for the most part can keep the CPU/GPU in the high 60's / low 70's during extended sessions without compromising too much. It continues to be a pleasure to use each day.

Now some folks may roll their eyes at this thread and call me a fanboy, and that's fine. But for myself, the proof is in the pudding. I wanted to get 3 years out of this rig and I feel that I most likely will. I dunno, maybe I am one of the lucky ones but I think there has to be many more people out there with similar positive experiences. I understand that people are more likely to voice their opinion when things go wrong than when they go right but I just thought I would make this post and tip my hat to ASUS, for in my case, a job well done. I am in no way minimizing the legitimate issues other owners may have with their products, just describing my own experience and feelings. Take it for what it's worth.

A genuinely pleased consumer,
