Asus G75VW keyboard

[xiang2011]

The feature-free interior has only a Asus Keyboard , a large touchpad, a few status indicator lights (HDD access, Wi-Fi, and so on), and power/quick-launch buttons. You're unlikely to ever deliberately use the quick-launch pre-Windows operating system, especially as this laptop is designed to stay tethered to your desk full-time, but since the two buttons sit right next to each other, it's easy to accidentally hit the wrong one. When the system is already running Windows, that second button activates a quiet mode to reduce fan noise.



The whole affair feels several notches below a premium product, which is a shame because it's certainly not a budget-priced machine. A huge amount of keyboard tray space means that the raised backlit Asus Keyboard and adjacent number pad are plenty far apart. The directional arrow buttons are placed in-between.



The key travel is comfortable and crisp, matching what you'd normally find on a midrange laptop. Due to its size, this Asus has plenty of comfortable palm-rest space, even with the touchpad shifted over to line up with the Asus Keyboard's off-center space bar. A soft matte finish offers good traction and grip without collecting too many smudges
