This should be like $400-$500 at most to be a slick deal. My friend got a 16" gaming laptop for $1200 for much better specs 2 year ago. A 3050 can only run at 1080p and become a fireball for games.
I kept getting the Blue Screen of Death.
The Geek Squad "FIXED it" THREE times, but shortly after I got it home, same thing, BSOD!
Sent it into the Asus service center, and when I got it back 15 days later, got BSOD twice within 4 minutes.
They said the warranty does NOT include any replacements or refunds.
I will never buy another Asus product. And will avoid buying from Best Buy also.
PS - This is the one I bought:

.
April 25 EDIT: I talked to the Best Buy store manager yesterday, hoping that they could step up & help a loyal customer out. Nope! But he did take this opportunity to tell me that I should have bought their ($180) Total membership plan (within 1 or 2 weeks of purchase), so that I might have been eligible to have gotten store credit or exchange. No, I don't think I will.
PS - Asus has a D- rating at the Better Business Bureau - Failure to respond to 83 complaint(s) filed against business
