The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022.

    It's not bad, but for that kind of money, you might as well just buy the Retina MacBookPro and get an operating system that actually knows what to do with a screen that has so many pixels. Or, if you're willing to live with a native 1920x1080 IPS touchscreen display, you can buy the ASUS N550JK for literally less than half the price and get much better graphics performance (albeit at the cost of somewhat more weight and possibly build quality). Frankly, I don't see a reason to buy an expensive, thin-and-light laptop with a GeForce 750M today -- the Maxwell 850M/860M offer much greater performance with less heat.
