For those wanting a larger screen laptop but don't need flashy designs or overpowered components, then the ASUS X75A-XH51 offers a very basic design and features. The laptop is certainly functional but doesn't quite fall into being a value oriented laptop either. It also lacks some of the ergonomics like the keyboard that stray from ASUS's exceptional past designs. At least ASUS hasn't packed it with unwanted bloated software like many other companies do.

The Asus has excellent gaming results and it's also got good application performance, decent build quality and a reasonable keyboard. The X75VC is only worth buying if discrete graphics or a Blu-ray drive are important.

3 kg:
In former years, this weight was representative for laptops with a 14-16 inch display-diagonal. Nowadays, 17 inch laptops weigh less than that.
3.1 kg:
67.5%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
