ASUS N551 in-depth review
ASUS labels the N series notebooks as multimedia-centric, but we have to disagree on that one. Since the last upgrade, the N551 has become so powerful to a point where you can't really tell the difference between the N551VW and its ROG counterparts, like the GL552VW or G551.
