Thanks for the welcome

Been use the laptop since yesterday evening untill mid night, quite impressed by the build-quality still.. So far only having 1 small problem, the wifi suddenly cant detect, then cant switch on back. But once I restart, it works fine until this morning. Duno is the Thunder software download way too furious at its speed or the stupid windows updates for Win8 Kinda force me to restart it..

Hopefully wont got any problems anymore! Haven't got the chance try it out on gaming, need wait me bring some games out and install it then only can try.

1 thing to highlight is the model I bought is come without backlit keyboard "

Yup, I did try. In Singapore this is the so called "latest" model, is really didnt come with the backlit keyboard. I even get the seller and myself check with ASUS Singapore for this. 1 of the cut cost move, ishhhh..
