| Asus Z96j Review |
My z96j took one week to arrive at my door. I thought it was ridiculous that it took 3 days for GenTech PC to install only a processor. My friends who purchased fully configured Asus s96js and z96js from GenTech PC claimed that their laptops shipped within the same day! Regardless, UPS was prompt to deliver my new notebook intact. Upon opening the box, I found all the proper documentation and CDs. As requested, Ken included all the screws and brackets for the hard drive and optical drive.I took off the back panel to inspect the notebook to disassemble and admire its cooling system. I wasn't satisfied with the messy manner in which the AS5 was applied, especially since it took so long. As a result, I took the liberty of reapplying AS5 and spreading it on the processor die with a credit card. At the same time, I also removed the thermal pad affixed to the GPU and applied AS5. I left the thermal pads on the VRAM since I figured the memory wouldn't produce much heat anyways. But overall, I felt that the quality of labor that GenTechPC put into installing the CPU did not meet my expectations set forth by their reputation.
...The price difference between the s96j and the z96j is completely justified by the 1680x1050 SXGA screen. Personally, I find this resolution perfect for word processing and web surfing. Some may find the resolution too small for daily usage, but this can be remedied by increasing the DPI. The glossy screen complements the high resolution of the screen as colors seem brighter and more vibrant. I did not notice much glare with the screen, but you will see your reflection when it's powered off. There are zero dead pixels on my laptop screen. The dead pixel policy for GenTechPC requires 5 pixels for an exchange. Gentechpc also honors Asus's zero bright pixel policy. Asus Z96j Review Linked by LT Hacker
