Uncompromised Performance
There’s a new emperor ruling the world of mobile gaming. The G55VW breaks new performance barriers with the uncompromising power of a third generation Intel® Core™ i7 CPU and an NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 660M GPU with 2GB of GDDR5 VRAM. The G55VW establishes itself as the fastest notebook in the land and will not only feed amazing gaming experiences today, but is primed to continue delivering them for years to come. It also includes support for 2 second instant on when equipped with an SSH or SSD hard drive, meaning you no longer have to wait to frag.
Incredible 3D Experiences
The G55VW is already destined to become one of the true greats in the world of mobile gaming, but with support for NVIDIA® 3D Vision™, including 3D Active Shutter technology, its place on the hall-of-fame is virtually guaranteed. Games, photos and movies can be experienced like never before – in Full HD and true 3D!
An Intense Audio/Visual Feast
Eye strain will be a thing of the past with the G55’s matt finish anti-glare display, while the wide viewing angle reduces the dead zone and helps to improve visibility during gaming – particularly in dark environments. The built-in subwoofer, complete with SonicMaster audio technology ensures a rich and powerful experience that will ward off challengers.
Gamer-centric Design
Gaming over long periods of time puts increasing demands on both man and machine, but with the G55VW, conquering in comfort is paramount to its success on the battlefield. Fatigue will stay away for longer thanks to advancements in the G55’s design. The anti-glare panel reduces eye-strain over long periods, while the spacious, adjustable and back-illuminated seamless one-piece keyboard with soft-touch palm rest and isolated arrow keys will keep your mind on the task in hand for longer than ever
Incredible Thermal Efficiency
The G55VW packs a massive performance punch, which needs to be kept cool – the dual fan filter system enables you to keep your system running cooler and quieter, for longer. The unique, intelligent thermal design improves power and thermal efficiency by exhausting hot air from the back of the machine, enabling you to leave the competition battling for survival in your wake.

Extremely good gaming laptop for the money, The build quality so far seems to be quite good. Been playing Planet Side 2, Max Payne 3, WOW, x-com, on high/ultra with no issues even some on battery but it drains the battery very quickly so it needs to be attacked to the wall. The Backpack is big enough to fit a corded Xbox controller and a big head set, along with any cables you'd ever need, and the Mouse is awesome. I would highly recommend this laptop, for people who don't want the extra weight of the 17 inch g75.

This is my first ASUS laptop, and I haven't had it for long, but I am highly impressed. Not too bulky, the screen is gorgeous, and it runs brilliantly. Seriously fast and never gets hot or loud (though the speakers can certainly bring it for a laptop). It does not support NVIDIA optimus, however the battery life is better than expected. If I am careful I can get between 3 and 4 hours out of it, though 2.5-3 will be more likely depending what you are doing. Also has a thunderbolt port, and this combined with the 4 USB 3.0 ports sets it up nicely for all the next gen accessories.

This is an awesome machine. As my first laptop from ASUS and first gaming laptop as well, I should say ASUS does impress me with this. As some review on the internet, it does come with a backpack mouse. Even if the mouse looks a bit cheap, but it still impress me a lot. This is my first impression on this laptop.
