Asus G50 Review Part 2

[salgrazziano]

I'm getting a silver and black and blue one this Saturday. Can I play games like Black Ops, Minecraft, Crysis, etc.? If so, on what level? I heard it keeps crashing...

i'm not a huge gamer, I'm 14, so is this a good laptop? It seems like it to me.

[tehmrfq340]

Is it a multi-touch pad?

[DAESHAWN13]

Dude, I don't think those are Speaker up by the Cam. Because my Don't Work. Plus my Grandma Computer like mine Doesn't work?

[trainspotter11]

my frend has an Asus G50 and it crap it keep on crashing

[busterbdragon]

yea my motherboard died on me so now my G50 laptop is dead

[zaraguth]

how did it died..?

[irishceaser1pker]

@busterbdragon Hey tweedle dee and tweedle DUMBASSES ... Maybe you shouldnt let it over heat or download stuff you shouldnt... @trains. Only reason it would crash is from fault on your part ... not asus's ... had this since day it was released no problems

[Trinn007]

@busterbdragon cant be fixed ?

[clanpsi]

I've had mine for under 4 months now, and I have to say I'm never buying an ASUS product ever again. After my G1S breaking 3 times, each with separate RMAs, my G50VT-B1 is already having graphics card issues, and overheating issues. That's with a cooling pad, A/C maintaining a room temperature of ~26 degrees C or less while gaming, AND a USB fan blowing towards the heat sink. If you're wondering what gaming notebook to buy, go Toshiba.

[iLuvsPie]

There's something that appears to be a speaker on the bottom of the notebook...is it a speaker? If it is, how do you use it? (Could've sworn the salesman said it was o_o)

[RoboTekno]

he lied. lol it may be a vent of some kind

[gavin479]

its an air vent...

[Jayghalizzle]

the msi gt627 and the gateway P7805u are better...the msi is a little expensive(about 1200)but it has basically the same specs in a smaller package 15" and only 5.6 pounds and it looks a little better too...the battery life is a lot more than the asus....the gateway p7805 is 1050 at best buy and is a 17" laptop that weighs in at close to 9 pounds...however it does feather the m9800GTS instead of the gs.....now with cashback on ebay it will cost u about the same as the asus

[MysticArcher105]

MSI GT627 has lots of heating issues with the hard drive though. Above 60 C is absolutely unexcusable. Asus designs their laptops well.

[mario1023]

moist

[clanpsi]

It's actually a 2.0 Megapixel camera.

[opsgamer]

1.3

[gavin479]

u sure?

i swear it is 1.3 Megapixelz...

[MangaFreak2000]

I know your comment is 2 months old, But I'll say it anyways. I believe the model he is reviewing is a lower model, idk. But the one I seen has a 2.0 Mp

[uzumaki2308]

how long is the battery life??? in your last video you said about an hour and a half but that cant be right... thats really short.

[busterbdragon]

it is really that short if you dont put it in a battery saving mode

this thing drains power quickly

[rkwong792]

Should I get this or the sager np8660?

[Socrates287]

Will this run recent games like CoD 4 and Left 4 Dead?

[raphexe]

of course !

[DarthVader1432]

theres videos of the g50 a1(different version of the x1) playing crisis on almost all high settings.

[raphexe]

dont reply to me lol, but to socrates287 !

[emo4elmo]

yes it does very well too!

[HITARIX]

jep..i have one it´s a ASUS G71V

[KMMPlanet]

hey how much does that laptop cost and can you tell me the specs and tell me if it can run crysis smoothly on high settings on 1920 by 1024

[emo4elmo]

BB has them for about $1099+ taxes and what not

[p1n0yBalleR]

isnt it $1500

[emo4elmo]

not where i bought it, it was 1200 after all taxes

[TFKofBD]

it will prolly run it on ULTRA low settings...cmon man..give portable performance a break...you cant expect the powah of a GTX 280 on a notebook just yet

[MachTo5]

It's a really good laptop though...

[TFKofBD]

yup

[Shayd93]

not really, because this laptop is for gaming, but not extreme gaming :P if u want to play on full setting get a desktop pc

[crazymonkey879]

o im talking about the a1 and the a2

[crazymonkey879]

dude man this is such a cool laptop man but the price for it is way to much :/

[busterbdragon]

well this is a pretty good price for it actually for this gaming laptop

i think if u say that its expensive i think that ur talking about the other models of this laptop the ASUS G50V-A1 or A2 cuz those are like about 2000 dollars and over

but this one is only 1250 at best buy

this is the best buy model by the way so yea i think its got a pretty decent price for a laptop that has this kind of graphics card in it

[lil0egy0kid]

its pronounced ah-soose not ay-sus ut i pronounce it ay-sus like everyone else lol ay-soos sounds wered it came from Pegasus the company's original name lol

[goten11756]

no, its actually pronounced ay-seus. People say asus because they are from the european nations, here in America, we say it as ay-seus. Just a clarification. lol

[Klashiez]

Im from America and I say Asus :P

[sobeck4ever]

I just got it for my birthday today and it is amazing. I love Asus

[busterbdragon]

congrats man on ur new laptop

[sammyr112]

Just bought this laptop yesterday... I'll never use a non-gaming laptop again.

[busterbdragon]

lol cool man same here

my next step is to go with an alienware but its too damn expensive

[dmr92]

alienware is the same parts, youre just paying for the name :D

alienware is just dell ^^

[busterbdragon]

yea i know but i just love the way their computers look especially the m17x

[11adi]

keyboard looks so bad, or what?

[busterbdragon]

its not that bad and what do u mean by that

[11adi]

looks cheap, trashy, but mayby it's only by video

[busterbdragon]

well yea i agree with you on that

it does look cheap and its not that great either

it doesnt respond quick like other keyboards

[nfan4life]

hey i just bought this same laptop 2 days ago and its awesome. but one think i cant figure out is that speaker looking like thing on the bottom near the air vent. you dont happen to know what it is do ya??

[busterbdragon]

oh that thing is just there to be there

i dont see a purpose for it

i think its just there as part of the case design to make it look cool

its not a speaker cuz i dont hear sound coming out of it so idk really know what its there for

[nfan4life]

thx for the reply. i read some reviews and i found out that its where the fan is located. i notice when i put it on turbo extreme i can feel it vibrating when i touch it, so i guess thats where the fan sucks in air. but looks cool, maybe i can tell people its a subwoofer XD
