First off, "OnedealOutlet" is very fast at shipping their products.
The Asus N750JV-QB72, The computer is beautiful. The love affair died down within a week of putting up with Windows 8. It is like two operating systems on top of each other. It had to go. I decided to put Linux in the system. The UEFI rom is programmed to authenticate Microsoft, so be careful if you try doing the same thing. You can mess up your bios and render it worthless. Turn off secure boot. The computer is quick. Do not expect wonders from these speakers. My $500 Toshiba with harman/Kardon speakers sound much better than this Asus. The little bass speaker does not perform as one would expect. Play with the adjustments to get your best sound. You will be better off purchasing a nice pair of Logitech computer speakers. The video is crystal clear!!!
great for watching movies or viewing pictures. I have not used the Blueray, no comment on that.
Taking windows 8 off this beautiful machine:
Linux Mint 15 Cinnamon: Installed without problems. Everything works on this except VLC video player and Skype. Once Mint updates their Kernel, this will be the best operating system for this computer in my opinion. I have yet to get bluetooth to work properly in Linux. As more kernels are developed, it might be a year before I can get this to work properly.
Ubuntu 13.10 beta Everything worked to include VLC and Skype. Problem with this, Gnome 3 is much easier to control than the Unity desktop. The problem with this operating system is the fact this is not due out until October. It crashed a lot (Expected). The touch pad was way to sensitive. Changing the sensitivity settings proved to be difficult.
I also tried Fedora and Debian...I don't have the time right now to configure everything. In the future, I will probably check these out in further detail.
