ASUS N71JQ-X1 17.3-Inch Versatile Entertainment Laptop (Dark Brown) Review
I purchased this laptop after unknowingly buying a stolen Dell Latitude 830 from Craig's List. Thanks to Dell's Lojack service, the police came to my house with a search warrant and confiscated the Latitude after I would not return the detective's phone calls. (I wonder why they didn't find the Latitude from the guy who sold it to me??) Anyway, if you own a Dell, the Lojack service does work. After this experience, do you think I would buy another Dell? -NOT ON YOUR LIFE. The police treated me like a common criminal, indicated that they thought I stole the laptop, and trashed my house. The 5 police officers who raided my home were not interested in helping me recover the $$$ I paid for the 830.
At any rate, I decided it was time to bite the bullet and buy new, unstolen, and get a warranty. After researching Tom's Hardware, Newegg, Amazon, Laptop review and others I settled on Asus with the i7 processor. I intended to buy the N61 and save 0, but finally decided the 17" screen was worth the extra money. The Egg people still had the N71 when I ordered, but are now sold out of this machine. However, Amazon had free super saver shipping so they got the call.
CONS: Don't like the side plugin for the power cord; the fan exhaust gets quite warm. Both exhaust and power cord would be better if configured from the rear IMHO. Bloatware is easy to remove, but performance is simply amazing, and the best buy out there for this level of hardware BAR NONE.
FINALLY: I would not recommend anyone buying a used laptop unless it would be from a member of your own family. It is not a crime to buy a used laptop, but if it happens to be a stolen laptop, you will be treated like a criminal and you WILL NOT be able to recover your investment. I suppose you could take the seller to small claims, but that is a lot of trouble and aggravation, plus who is going to enforce the judgement if you do win?? I will add that I thought Dell should have given me a discount on a new laptop after fingering me for having a stolen machine. FAT CHANCE.
