2012-05-15
hi I'm Scott Stein and do you believe in gaming laptops I'm still not sure if I do if you do then perhaps you'd be interested in this which is the Asus g75 in their high-end gaming laptop branded under the republic of gamers tag now there are a number of other big gaming laptop manufacturers you got origin main gear alienware and these things are all gigantic you know they're about 9 pounds plus they're very heavy they're loaded to the gills very powerful very expensive and what asus laptop brings to the table is a lower price in general this comes in around 1,600 1,500 depending on where you find it but it's not as stacked specs wise is what you'd find on one of those super high-end alienware origin laptops this is still no slacker it's got a quad core i7 processor 3rd gen intel so that ivybridge new generation processor nvidia geforce gtx 660 graphics which are very very good but you can tell doing a sponge mark side to side that this thing is not a screamer gaming wise but it's going to provide you some great mainstream gaming performance at 1080p speaking of which the 17 inch screen has a really nice display its matte which is not the normal but it's becoming more standard in laptops once again and it's nice and bright and looks good for both blu-rays and games yes this does come with a blu-ray drive and one of the nice bump ups from last year's model is in ports and that's going to happen with a lot of Ivy Bridge laptops because USB 3 is better supported this has three USB 3.0 ports and Thunderbolt so that really amps up the speed of your data connections now you wouldn't guess it from a laptop this big but it's actually slimmer and lighter than last year's it's still nine point five pounds and about two inches thick at its thickest point so it's not something you're going to tuck away into your bag easily but we'll take what we can get overall it's a good laptop it's a very good laptop specs wise but if you want something that's all the way at the top of the line you might want to consider investing a little bit more or ask yourself do you really need a gaming laptop with this much under the hood for that much money I'm Scott Stein and that's a look at the asus g75vw gaming laptop
