    I feel a bit weird about the straight jack too, more ever it located at the right side which is quiet inconvenient and always interference with the wired mouse. However, I'm getting use to it, so not a big deal at all. But I do worry about the melted away issue
    Wonderful! Thanks alot! I sure hope its actually one that's made by ASUS and not just restickered/rebranded ASUS lol.

    Any pictures of the corner of the lid falling apart that you and Ms. AnimataurKo were talking about? Kinda odd that a $1.5k machine would have such a flaw

    NCIX has both the XR1 and the A1 models. And the XR1 is 200$ cheaper than the A1.

    Not really, $1500 for a gaming laptop isn't that expensive, My old macbook pro ($2500) had a lid issue too. No matter how expensive it is, it's still made by people and can have defects

    Plus if you pick the cheapest notebook and upgrade 1500 worth of stuff in it, wouldn't the build quality be the same?

    True. I guess its the hardware inside that 1500 goes towards. Cuz my hp from 2007 cost only ~$700 and there were zero cosmetic flaws, and zero flex anywhere unless a muscleman came and bent it in half How much were gaming notebooks in 2007?

    Well my Dell inspiron is from 1997 and it was 1400 so i'm guess gaming notebooks were way more expensive

    Well this is made by Delta, one of the biggest PSU suppliers, makes all the high end Antec PSU, imo among the best maybe second to seasonic, but still is a great company.

    hey guys, when I bought my last ASUS notebook, I had to register online to get the 2nd year warranty but I guess now-a-days you just get 2 years automatically?

    I just registered my computer under my account.

    These are great, thanks! Still, kinda disappointing that you paid more than 1month's rent, and ya have some flaws like these. So they just snap back together, or do they not snap back together? (Like, does it hangout/flapout when you don't hold it together on purpose?)

    Actually, once it snap back together, it will retains its original look. Unless, you accidentally or purposely snap it out again. So don't worry, i guess this is the standard design for g53 lid.
