My Asus G53 was a nightmare. Can't easily clean the internals so dust would get clogged around the GPU and CPU. The laptop was so heavy it often wasn't worth bringing.

It was more expensive than if I had grabbed a desktop + cheapy laptop for school

Good plan.

Product purchased for work, lightly used for 40 days. Unfortunately, this is too large of a laptop for me to take while traveling.

I think he may be onto something here...

"purschased for work"

"for work"

Seriously, name one job that would require a laptop of that size and specs!

This. However, put Linux on it and basically converted it to a media center desktop, the hardware is decent. But the dust clogging is a definite issue, every few minutes the fan enters take off mode as it struggles to clear out the dust.
