"Unfortunately this gaming laptop can't play games." on by Inspite
Pros: How do they sell this much performance for this price.
Cons: After the graphics card hits 82 degrees Celsius, it slows down to a crawl. I get about 2 fps in the game Crysis. It takes 10 minutes for this to happen.
Summary: The best mobile graphics card (260m). Six gigs of Ram. Big hard drive (500 Gig). Good processor (2.53). And it looks great too!
I just flashed with the beta bios. The problem has been fixed. I will now recommend this laptop to anybody. Asus made a mistake, but fixed it in a timely manor. Good job Asus!
Unfortunately you cannot play games with this gaming laptop until Asus fixes the problem. I am sure they are working hard on a solution, but this is a black eye for them.

Asus has identified the problem, and added a BIOS update which dealt with the problem. If own or are considering this laptop, here is the link to the update site, just select your operating system and download.
