I bought a Asus laptop about a year ago, The gaming "G50" model. It is orange and black and is suppose to be for gaming.
ANYWAY, I absolutely love everything about this laptop, but lately it has been giving me problems
As soon as Left 4 dead 2 came out, I decided to buy it being that I played Left 4 dead flawlessly. I played for a few week and then I started to notice what seemed to be a "lag" problem. However, my ping remained around 20-30. I also use my laptop in my apartment AND my parents house so it certainly is NOT my connection.

I ended up trying to clean a few things up so I did the following:
- un-installed un-needed programs
- made sure my virus scanner was set up correctly
- made sure my firewall wasnt blocking anything
- made sure CPU usage while gaming was at a minimum
- defragging
- disk clean up
- checking for errors
- deleting temp i-net files, history, etc
- updating video card drivers
- tried playing the games on lowered settings
