My god.... what a fast laptop. This is the best option around for anyone wanting a mobile gaming system, especially at $1600. The ONLY bad thing I have to say about this computer is the amount of crapware Asus loads on to it (but for me, the only acceptable amount of crapware, is no crapware). If you're of the same opinion in the crapware department, wipe out the hard drives and install a vanilla copy of Windows 7 (if possible). I had it up and running in about 15 minutes.
