some laptops such as this one do not come with an optical drive ("cd slot") to save on size, and then an external ODD Drive is used in it's place...some customers prefer laptops with no optical drives...
Okay, I'm seriously considering buying this laptop, but I have some questions. Can this laptop run Source games at decent graphical settings at a good FPS (30+)? I have an HP dv4 with only Intel dual-core processor and a Radeon graphics card but it runs CS:S great. I'm assuming this laptop will too. Can anyone confirm?
Also, will it run Minecraft well? If anyone can respond, I'd appreciate.
@MrMagikWaffle yes it can run Steam games (tf2, l4d2, cs:s, etc) well. if you just check out the specs it definitely can handle it. (how do I know? personal experience). And I would naturally assume it could handle minecraft just as well.
would you say that the graphics card in this would be good for graphic design and 3d modelling software? im thinking of getting one, but i need to know whether it'll do the job or not :S
This computer is very nice for the price and people might bug me for this, but I would go Alienware m11x it is smaller and heavier but the look feel and features are better than this. This just reminds me of something from the 70's as with all asus's
The build quality for this laptop is actually pretty good. It is solid and made from stronger materials than most laptops that we review. the combo of the wood, aluminum and strong plastics make for a very strong construction.
well the U43 and U53 have Widi.(these arent really gaming laptops though) Also the new 3d version of the G73 is supposed to have WiDI. Also Asus is coming out with something similar to WIDI soon that will actually perform better it seems.Only time will tell once it comes out.
