My ASUS ROG Strix came in yesterday and I'm excited. I'll post pictures later. Only used it for job applications thus far, but it's a gaming laptop, and the keys light up! It looks all futury.
Now I need a mouse to test this FPS are better on PC theory.
Nice! And a steam summer sale to go with it.
Staying the HELL away from that until I find gainful employment again.
Set yourself a limit And don't pass it. I go at some pretty solid games for a total of 10 bucks. Just shop for games under $10 or $5, and you might be surprised.
yup. Just adds stuff to wishlist and wait for it to be under $5-$10 during sales. GOG and Humble Bundle have really good sales now and then, but I like keeping everything under one account--Steam.
I don't have one, but I love those light up keyboards. I want a green one! I saw one at E3 that changed to all sorts of colors! Yeah I'm easily amused.
This one is definitely multicolored.
Mouse shooting might take a bit to get used to if you're only used to Gamepads. well, the keyboard part of the equation anyway. Its more responsive and much more precise, but it takes a while to "get good" at. It's also worth taking considering that it will make you notice framerate much more. On a game pad, it's nowhere near as noticeable but with a mouse the difference between 30 and 60 fps are pretty strong, to the point that lower frame rates with the mouse are enough to make me feel sick At times.
I only really notice console frame rates if things get choppy or don't feel smooth. Interesting.
Way to go on the new laptop!
I need a new one myself. Mine is all beaten to hell and its like over 3 years old if my time frame for when I got it is correct but its not in the cards for right now.
Mine was 6 years old (bought it 2012), and was also beaten.
My laptop is 7 years old and falling apart. I might get a new one, but it'll probably be a more utilitarian machine since I don't really game with Steam. I've seen the gaming laptops though, they look kinda cool.
I actually didn't buy it for gaming primarily. The specs are just good for things like Adobe Suite and I might need to start building my portfolio more again.
Several friends who work in IT or know computers recommended ROG.
But gaming was admittedly a close second.
Congrats on the new laptop! Also you're in time for Steam Summer Sale!
Like I said, I'm not really in a "spending" position at present and I already have tons of games I haven't played on both PS4 and Steam. I'll likely hold out unless I REALLY want something that is $5 or less.
Enjoy man! What games are you gonna play??
BG&E is first on my list for Steam.
Cool. Never played it but i think its one of Tami’s favorites.
Nice laptop. Mine's like almost a decade old now. I'm worried.
Get Mike a laptop for his 10th birthday. 
I'm an ass ... 
It's cool you can gift people things so easily now. I often tease my friend Mark that I will gift him a game on Xbox I know he won't like. Ah, stupid things I would do if I were wealthy.
