Its called the G72GX by Asus. Its an extremely powerful gaming laptop. The reason that I call it a beast is because its huge. Its got a 17 inch screen. It was time for a new computer. The other laptop I used wasnt available anymore. I borrowed one for a while but had to return it eventually. I got a great deal on this. It cost about $999 with tax. Not a bad deal for this kind of computing power. Its so shiny and new. I love it.
