A few bad point from Asus G71GX-RX05 are the absent of bluetooth which supposed to be a standard in todays laptop computer. It is also Big, heavy, and a power hungry notebook system which is a normal condition for a desktop replacement and gaming-oriented laptop like this. The battery life only ran for 2 hours and 11 minutes. And lastly You also have to update the BIOS system to deal with a heat issue that caused the Nvidia GeForce GTX 260M adapter to stop performing normally when it reached an operating temperature of about 81 degrees Celsius.
