    The -x2 is replaced by the -x6, which is basically identical (same price, too) except with a faster processor clock speed.

    not to many for you to worry i would say get it, it's the best gaming notebook for the price(instead of the msi gt627 which build quality isn't the best), you won't regret it

    1) Audio interference. This only happens when you use the USB ports on the right near the audio port. It is only problematic with low quality headsets.
    2) Possible problems with keyboard lag (missing keystrokes) but I don't have it. The fix for this has been to disable the Synaptics touchpad driver, as it seems to compete for resources.
    3) Can't press S+D+Space at the same time. There is a hack workaround where you press Fn+G to enter "game mode", but it puts a Z at the end. This is universal to all G50s, afaik, and I don't know why Asus doesn't fix this properly.
    4) Stuttering CPU. Never heard of it. There was a problem of 100% CPU load but that was fixed with a BIOS update.
