well after about a month, all going great have not had any problems
only thing i have done is to do the msconfig tweak (hide all microsoft services then disable all / disable all in start-up tab)
she does just fine with the twice a week haul to work and the trips to my friends house for weekend game raids
and for anyone wondering it will fit in a pelican case a snug fit but workable
anyone know where i can get some asus ROG stickers for the pelican ?
