  • damn.... i paid $1590 flat for the Asus G2S 17" gaming laptop back in '07...  Still have and has been so reliable dual booting with Windows 7 Ult. and Snow Leopard 10.6.7 retail on it.... 2 in one,,, can't beat that and still one the be most beautiful laptops Asus has ever design...

  • is there something wrong with my eyes or the videos focus is poor?

  • omg i have that laptop and it sucks the games are fast but the internet fking slow!!!!!!!!!!!11111

  • Ok I am looking in to purchasing a gaming laptop and I don't know what to get, I have a budget of about £1300 what would you recommend?

  • 9500GS hmm, worse than GT... 1680x1050? underpowered.

  • lol i have a six cell in my g60vx and i get 1.5 hours

  • I just realized this video is almost 2 years old, no wonder, because those specs are horrible for this day in age FOR GAMING.

  • I wished their was a computer museum

  • 56k modem is so useless... on a friggin gaming notebook :D

  • i just checked tiger direct. only $540

  • @DonnyPMonkey for a 80 more bucks you can get an asus g60vx whitch is much beter

  • crap

  • LOL 1.83ghz??? That's not a gaming laptop...

    Even if it's dual core... 2.0ghz would be okay for lowest for gaming...

  • this is more than 1 year old

  • @XmetalmikeXx congrats moron.. this video was put up in dec.2008.. you commented in 2010........ obviously its no longer a gaming laptop....

  • @XmetalmikeXx nah you need faster than that id say at least 2.6 duelcore

  • get this piece of shit and overclock it, it would make a pretty good gaming set for the road

  • Not bad at all.

    For the price of the PSP Go, or DSi Lite, you could be playing decent quality PC games(Like Ill mentioned, Source titles and less graphic intensive games) on a somewhat portable device.

    Would make those long ass road trips go by quicker.

  • looks like shit !

  • graphic card sucks...

  • pretty good, but...

  • Not bad. I wouldn't say its a gaming PC but deffinetly a nice Multi-Media setup. The 9500GS doesn't really game that well but you won't have any problems running Aero and all its features along with maybe Source games and COD4 calibur games.

  • is there any better gaming pcs in 2009 for aorund this price lmk please

  • i have been trying to contact tigerdirect since days and it has not been possible...

    if u have bought it from this... i would like to know..

    would it physically be damaged if i buy it?!

  • can this get online?

  • its nice and all, but get the G50VT X1 or X5. better hardware, still cheap.

  • i had one of these, and i learned an important lesson about computers from it:

    "desktop replacement" laptops cannot actually replace desktops

    if you're a gamer, but you still want something portable for school or work, just buy a netbook

  • My G1Sn's GPU broke 3 times before ASUS shipped my a G50VT-b1 replacement. Of course, now my G50's gpu is breaking, so don't buy ASUS shit.

  • do they still make the laptop

  • Comment removed

  • could this play diablo 3? that is the question!

  • Diablo 3 is far from compelete who knows what direct x diablo 3 will be running on either direct x 10 or direct x 11 if it runs on direct x 11 this computer could be very easyly obselte

  • but....Will it blend?

  • lol

  • Should I Buy A Gaming Laptop Even Though i have a pc?

    im not sure because i just bought a graphics card and im afraid i wont use my real pc anymore...

    SHOULD i get it?

    someone reply quick pleaseee

    =p

  • u are in 2 diff condition, u can play yr pc at home only unless u dont bother to carry it anywhere. meanwhile with laptop, u can use it anywhere. for example sometimes i play games with my asus in car while waiting for someone.haha. its up to u man. THINK WISELY!!

  • it depends on what kind of computer you have now if it can play games and has more than 300 GB dont get one

  • this is only 500 on ebay (:

  • can i play crisis on this???

  • No way...

  • can you play crysis on it?

    definitely not.

    maybe on low low low graphics, because even though it has a 512mb nvidia, it has a horrible processor (1.83 dual core).

  • i played crysis on mine at medium 1024x768

  • I am an X-1 owner. I played Crysis on Very High with hardly noticeable lag, not enough to affect game-play.

    Don't be so ignorant. This thing is a beast, it just needs to be setup right w/ correct drivers/software.

  • Well how because it only has a 512MB card, and a 1.83ghz Duo core which is pretty slow.

  • oh bollocks, only a 15 year old kid with down syndrome would believe that shit

  • shit your right im 15 no lie

  • can anyone tell me the price of this laptop in thailand or malaysia ! i reallty love this laptop and wanna get it this decmeber

  • OMG! that's awesome! Can this run Counterstrike source, Team fortress 2, and Call of duty 4? PLEASE reply!

  • its actually $1,799

  • no. the G1Sn-X1 is 759.99

  • wtf... so many usb ports.

  • I got an ASUS computer Desktop... its amazing

  • but... HOW MUCH IS IT?

  • on compUSA i found it for $759.99

  • Can it play Call of Duty 4 or Call of Duty WaW?? ANSWER

  • yes it will but not on amazing specs

  • Comment removed

  • i feel like an idiot but i'm not to familiar with laptops or pc's but i have a brother who is a big gamer. he play WoW on a very old pc which looks glitchy when he plays it so he plays low settings. My Question is can this Run WoW High Graphics WOTLK? Thanks looking to buy a laptop price under $1200

  • oh ya WOTLK dosent have THAT intense graphics but i do run it on 2 9800gtx's but my old 8500gt ran it fine on 1680X1050

  • its a great choice but go for the msi gx630 i love it, its only 700 dollars and can run all the latest games with 30 fps +

  • dude...seriously,this thing is a bitch!!! lol

    :P

  • lol mines like the same but totally differant, was like double the price, but got it like 2 years ago, but has 2.4ghz instead of 1.8 and 8600m instead of 9500m

  • hey i think i made a mistake i said 256mb? not it's 512mb *guy in background orgams*

  • i am looking for a very good gaming laptop i have 2,000 dollers what should i get i need help looking????

  • I just got the Asus G1S-A1

    ... and I LOVE it!

  • how much you get it for?

  • $799 CND so 725.142 USD

    I love it, it's great! It needs a cooler though.

    I use a Targus Chillpad and it is amazing! Especially for that price.

    Mine has different specs then this one though.

  • how much money is this??

  • starting to reret the macbook pro.......

  • LOGAN COME BACK

  • I'm suprised with Asus . I was considering a Macbook , but these Taiwan computers seem good.

  • id buy this refurbished or not

  • hey, can ne1 answer a quick question?

    im looking for a laptop to play some of my games(nothing newer than age of empires 3) and make movies on, as well as all the normal stuff. ne1 got some suggestions?

    thanks

  • most laptops will play those types of games just not at high settings. on the other hand this type of laptop is nice because it will play those games at high settings for a decent price (this one is about 750) all i have to say is don't go dell.there always overpriced

  • hey, thank for replying. do u know if this laptop would be good for making movies on too? or which laptop would be a good mix of movie making and playing games?

  • if you buy a notebook that can play those games on medium-high settings, then it will propably be good for movie mixing too ;D good luck

  • does it have a overclocking bios

  • can i upgrade it with a intel centrino 2 t9550

  • can i put a update it with a centrino 2 t9555

  • crap video card

  • what is a good laptop for just world of warcraft and like itunes ect that is under 1000 buck.

  • WoW can play on anything....seriously...iTuens is just general media...you can get an average rig for about $700-$800 and play WoW just fine...

  • same in warcraft III reign of chaos and frost throne?

  • yea atm im looking at buying asus G50Vt-X5 ;D

  • holy shit this is better than my asus g50 laptop

  • COOL!

  • CAN SOME ONE tell me what laptop is the top laptop to play video games

    or a great laptop that can all pc games out there like fallout 3.

    p.s. if you found one like that.

    THATS UNDER 1000. TELL ME

    if you find one more then 1000 still tell me.

    thanks

  • dude this thing can definately play fallout 3, among many other high graphic pc games

  • i guess this gaming laptop suits you, Asus g50vt-X1 priced at 900 at bestbuy.

  • How would this laptop do with TeamFortress2 On Steam? I am thinking about getting a gaming laptop and this one fascinated me.

  • I'm in the market for a gaming notebook, and ASUS is really nice. The drawback is the fact that you can't customize them when purchasing as much as say, alienware, or sager. So as I was looking through the specs, I was kinda let down that I would have to deal with some of the drawbacks that I would love to upgrade before I even buy it, like lower rpm HDD's, etc. If I could customize ASUS gaming laptops more, they would be my #1 pick....but on a lower budget I would maybe even still get one.

  • wai wait does this even have a graphics card

  • Whats way way way below $1000?

  • 760$

  • I am looking for a laptop with the best 2009 graphics card and more gb on it.

    Also a laptop that you can change video card and stuff.

    any one know??

  • good lck changing a video card in a lap top

    (impossiable)

  • @drumkid65 no its not

  • @drumkid65 LOL no its not idiot

  • @mmhmmlala yes it is unless you switch out the motherboard

  • @IWentThereProduction no ive done it someone tried to steal my friend card at best buy when he brought his laptop there and we had to get it back and i took out the bullshit one they put in there and switched his back, without changing the mobo

  • it is possible too change a videocard on a laptop but not with this one u see here on this video... if u want a real gaming laptop dont buy any of these. u rly need pro notebooks for that which uses MXM-3 slots.. there is where u can replace there videocards. its about there voltage and powerlevel.... ive got an MXM-2 slot... cant get any higher than 8600M GT cause of the power. for 8800M or 9800M u need a MXM-3 of even MXM-4 slot. and that will be an expensive notebook

  • Nice review.And i think the Asus notebooks are going to own the market soon

  • OWNED !

  • This notebook would get pwned by all the new games coming out . =/ But it could prolly run WoW Smoothly superkid24

  • Thats what I really want to know.. Will it run WoW smoothly, and how it will handle long game sessions if I play for 4 hours at a time when I raid Naxx? This is a nice laptop, at least it looks nice, I've been to tigerdirect and compusa and I can't find it on either site. Would like to buy it if it works well for wow.

  • You don't have to worry about WoW with this laptop. I used to play with an AGP 256mb card in my 5yr old desktop and it ran just fine. Just, like any laptop, you gotta keep it cool. My girlfriend puts a book under the back edge of hers(half an inch thick) to keep it breathing and it helps a lot, and she destroyed WoW.

  • How good will WoW run on this?

    Especially on battlegrounds?

  • will be pawned by crysis for sure.

  • OWNED

  • that doesnt even make sense.what are you trying to prove by saying that?

  • I think that all computers and operating systems should come 64 bit out of the box. Simply because of how much memory it can handle. 64 bit has a max capacity of 17 BILLION gigabytes of RAM. Dont believe me? Check wikipedia.

  • Because Wikipedia is the source of all truth......? 64-bit can handle tons more RAM, but it still has a lot of compatibility issues with already existing apps and hardware. I think Windows 7 will come 64-bit standard, but I'm not sure. For now 64-bit and 32-bit are a draw. I'm using 8gb of RAM with 2gb of video RAM too so I need 64-bit, but for a standard user 32-bit is fine.

  • YOU IDIOT - 64 bit can hadle 128mb of ram, as apposed to 4 with 32 bit. You tell me when you're going to require more than 4 gb of ram, especially if you've got a decent video card.

  • Sorry meant "128gb"

  • i wanna have it!!!!!!!!!!!

    omg it has good screen. 1685x1080 and it's 15.4". mine is 17" and it has 1440:900. bigger pixels i guess... i also have another screen which is 15.4 and it's pixels are like soo large. it's maximum res is 1024x768

  • its an 8 cell not a 6 dumbass

  • and don't forget that it comes with 512 MBs of video storage

  • so fucking what? The memory speed and core clock are what determines how good the card is for the most part.

  • i got a hp pavilion dv9627cl for $775 2gb of ram 200 hdd 1.9ghz amd turion 64 x2 mobile TL58 NVIDIA GeForce Go 7150M graphics

  • awesome.

  • check out the asus g50 or g71...those are monster gaming notebooks XD..i saw a g50 for sale at $1.8k XD

  • how about G70

    if G50 and G71 are monstrers

    what is G70

  • yeah that is a monster lappy but it doesnt look as nice XD

  • Not for me,but G70 is very(very)Large

  • where the hell is episode 16? I saw that it was up a few days ago but now it dissapeared!!!!

  • OMG.....1.83GHz is a gaming laptop? No wonder someone returned it to ASUS. They found out the processor was extremely weak......

  • dude,its an intel core duo2 with a nividia geforce video card for 760,you cant always get an hd laptop with an awesome processor for that price,seriously

  • Processor is crap though

  • Laptops are never the greatest for gaming, and in the Asus series..the M50Vm's, and the G50's blow this little bit out of the water in almost everyway.

    Skip this crap, and either pick up a laptop with better specs from Asus, or a freakin desktop.

  • To bad that thay are never doing a review on a produkt thay are just selling a product, never cons just pros... Good any way

  • I think about that EVERYTIME i see their videos. they aren't reviewing...they are like trying to sell it,

  • this is the rule:

    this a nice laptop for simple games....

    but if u want REAL gaming then u should get Desktop.....

    coz this laptop is goog for diner dash not even call of duty 3 with low settings @@

  • this could run cod4 at mid setting...

  • i think it can run it at better then mid settings

  • maybe mid high on a lower rez...but at 1685x1080 at mid i would think

  • Asus makes wonderful laptops unfortunately they cost above $1000 usually :(.

    The OLED panel looks sweet and having lit up WASD keys is awesome. And a 1685 x 1080 is AMAZING for a 15.4 inch screen. Unfortunately its processor is pretty weak, if it was replaced with a 8400 I would definetly buy

  • i agree....but if it had an 8400 in there...that would jack it up over 1k lolz

  • ment for gaming???? with a 9500m? good luck with that....

  • why would they put the media keys right under the pad? isnt that where most ppl set their wrists?

  • asus is a good company, but i dont get y ppl get gaming notebooks, DESKTOPS FTw

  • I'll give you an example. I am a musician and a gamer. When i go on tour and i want to game If i have a gaming laptop i just need a connection, else pay somewhat 3$ or more for a hour in a cybercafe.

  • HP Tech support is awesome. They are fixing my computer for free, and its out of wararnty cuz it was a refurb and i overclocked the gpu and it broke. Its been 8 months since i had it.

  • man i need one of these lol ive been gaming allot more and sometimes i travel one of these will will be perfect

  • ASUS tech support is unbelievable crappy!

    So who cares about the performance if they can't support the product?!

  • Nice laptop but I would go with the MSI GX630 or GX620 gaming notebooks :)

  • from which brand are those from?

  • if you mean the laptop is for asus they do really goog motherbords

  • i bought it, sorry guys

  • update the computer

  • 9500M for graphics card? That isn't so powerful except it's 1gb of VRAM.

  • is for a laptop dirrent names for dosktop ones /laptop cards.

  • Awesome laptop!

  • its really nice, but really, gaming on laptops is like riding a tricicle in tour de france :D

  • How the hell can a 15.4 inch monitor have 1680x1050 lol. my 22 inch got that resolution as max

  • There are some 17 inch laptops with 1980x1050. Why do we even pay for our monitors lol when you can get a kickass one with your laptop.

  • C2D T5550 1.83Ghz

    4GB of DDR2 ram

    Window Vista Home P 64-bit

    320 GB HDD

    Nvidia M 9500GS 512MB video

  • omgggggg!!!

  • nice

  • It's currently priced $759.99 (as of 12-22-08) sounds pretty good but I don't know much about laptop pricing

  • this laptop is pretty cool

  • Cool!

  • WOW I WANT IT!!
