WiFi Doesn't Get Any Better
on February 21, 2014

I use it in...:Small home
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this after I started having issues with both my Xfinity all in one, and my Netgear WNDR3400/N600 after upgrading my wifi card in my laptop to an Intel 7260AC. I would get random disconnects, and my speed wasn't any faster than the 6200AN card I replaced. My service is the 100/10 from Comcast. Directly connected to the router I could get those speeds, but I mostly use WiFi, and I would get 1/4 the speed I should be getting. I purchased this R7000 Nighthawk, and I'm seeing the speeds I would expect using WiFi and an AC card.
It's super fast, easy to setup, has the best range I have ever seen in a wireless router, and has some really nice features. The parental controls are really nice because you can set them from anywhere you have an internet connection, including you cellphone. Plus I can set a time to disable my sons PS4's so they aren't up all night playing while I sleeping. Plus it allows remote access, which is major + for me.
Don't let the price deter you. This will bring a whole new meaning of speed to you WiFi, granted you have the right equipment to take advantage of it.

What's not so great: Pricey, but you get what you pay for.

The highly advanced iPhone 5s features the A7 chip with 64-bit architecture, the Touch ID fingerprint sensor, a new 8MP iSight camera, a new FaceTime HD camera, ultrafast LTE wireless, iOS 7, and iCloud. Yet it's as thin and light as ever.

A nice upgrade from 4S

Phone size:Just right
Verified Purchase:Yes
I got this because my wife's iPhone 4S was stolen. I went in to get her a new phone, and ended up upgrading mine as well. We were considering the galaxy, but ended up going with this one considering all the apps that had been purchased and used regularly. Also the android phones are not compatible our cars. Overall it's a nice phone, but was expecting a bit more from Apple considering our other phone was 2 years old. This version of the iPhone doesn't seem to be that significant of an update.

What's great about it: It's much lighter than the 4s, fingerprint scanner is very convenient, apps load almost instantly, extremely fast LTE
What's not so great: LTE speeds kill the battery, screen size is much smaller than competition, old charge cord not compatible

A must have for wireless gaming!
on March 3, 2011

I bought this to replace another Netgear wireless router Comcast provided with their service. That router could not keep up with the Xbox 360, PS3, iPhones, iPod Touches, Laptops, printer, and whatever else trying to connect to it. Whenever a new device would attempt to access the router, there would be a pause, or lag on all the other devices connected to that router. That router was also a bottle neck, not allowing me to utilize the full bandwidth of my internet connection.
So I bought the N600 because it was on sale, and it had a lot of great reviews. Not just here, but also on CNet, and other online review sites. I couldn't be happier. This was a very simple swap out of the old router. Now I get full speed from my Internet, and absolutely no lag when other devices are trying to connect to it.
I've been on my laptop playing CODBO, my son's playing online on their Xbox 360, and my wife streaming NetFlix through the PS3, all are wireless, with no lag what so ever. I'm very impressed with this router.
The only negative I have is the somewhat shorter range of the 5GHz band compared to the 2.4GHz band.
What's great about it: True dual band, speed, ease of use, guest accounts
What's not so great: Price, and short range of 5GHz band

I received these as a gift. When I first open the package I was excited because I've heard good things about this brand. Within the first 3 seconds after plugging them into my iPhone I was truly disappointed. The sound was not what I was expecting. The bass is there, and it's tight, but mid range and treble are lacking. I've tried all the EQ settings on the iPhone, but was unhappy with all the results. I was using a cheap set of Skullcandy Inked earbuds (without any EQ) and those sound way better to me IMO. Do yourself a favor and avoid these and try another brand. Maybe the more expensive V-Moda's sound better.
What's great about it: Somewhat stylish. Comfortable in ear. Equal length cable for each ear.
What's not so great: Sound quality. Price.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Overall
4 out of 5
4 out of 5Would Be 5* If...
By KWilks
This machine is a beast! I bought this to upgrade from my Asus G73JH that I also bought from Best Buy about 4 years ago. This laptop out performs that laptop by leaps and bounds. Before, I had to run most games at medium to low settings. This machine can run all my games at their highest settings and still be completely playable.
I would love to give this review 5*'s, but I have a few issues with it. When I first got it, it has a bright pixel in the middle of the screen. Since this laptop was only available online, I had to send it to ASUS to have the screen swapped out. They were nice enough to send me a Next Day Air shipping lable, and had the laptop back to me within 7 days. There appears to be a single speaker for the sound, and it doesn't sound good at all. I was disappointed once I discovered this since my G73JH had excellent sound, and I figured this would be the case with this latop. Sadly I was mistaken. Another issue I'm having, and currently in the process of figuring out is that I can not run Asus Backtracker to get a recovery USB. I've tried/bought several different USB's and still can not get it to backup. The last gripe is a two parter. It's about the keyboard. The layout is not the greatest. I don't understand why the "capture" key is just above the esc key. I can't tell you how many times I've been in game and sent to desktop because of it. Part 2 is the NumLk key is not in the normal location. The "Asus" key is in the normal spot that the NumLk key should be in, and it doesn't stay active after a reboot like every other laptop in my house.
One thing I highly suggest after you get the G751JT is put in an SSD. This thing will boot into windows in less than 8 seconds. Simply amazing!
Overall, I'm very happy with this laptop, and would recommend it to anyone in the market for one.

**Update**
March 8, 2015
Just a quick update. Apparently there was an issue with the sound driver that would allow full range sound to the sub woofer. This made it sound like the laptop only had one speaker, because it overpowered the tiny ones located somewhere below or behind the screen. Asus has since provided another driver for sound which corrects this issue, but the sound is still not as good as my G73JH. Not a big deal considering I mostly use headphones while using this beast of a machine.
