Customer Reviews

Like a pickup truck on turbo...big, ugly, and fast.
I had an ASUS G1S before this. That machine fried itself with it's 8600GT-M video card (if you have this watch out for your ticking timebomb).
Anyway, got this as a refurb from Asus when I sent in my G1S.

The G50VT is about an inch or 2 wider in the case. It doesn't fit in my laptop bag now. It's got this really hideous graphic on the cover. I mean, something from Ed Hardy ugly. This is why it's staying home.

It came with 4gb ram/320gb hd (5400rpm boohoo), Vista Home Premium 64bit. It's a quick machine. Takes a while to get out of sleep mode, but that'll be rectified (I hope) with a fresh copy of Win7. Screen resolution is blech. The G1S had 1680x1050. I was in love. Now I'm back to 1366x768 (oh my god..my icons are big enough for grandma to read without glasses). Oh and no Bluetooth. Had trouble connecting to my Linksys WiFi router. Didn't like WEP. I had to use WPA (the preferred way), but now I have to reconfigure everything else in my house..ugh.

Get it, like it, and don't take it out of the house for fear of ridicule from anyone over 15 years old.

Great gamming laptop for the price
This is the second Asus notebook I have owned, both gamming. Overall I will have to say Impressive laptop for the price per performace. IT far out performes other laptops in its price range. The G50 lays down some serous gamming numbers for a laptop. its a perfet size and weight. Product qty overal is incredible for the price. Not much else i can say but got a free laptop backpack with purchase nice qty also. Asus backs there products periode! I tell you this becuse this is the second asus i have owned they pay shiping to get it to them and back and fix problems very fast. I ussaly have it back withen 5 days or less. I shouldent have to buy an extended warrentys for somthing that should work. so I buy asus they back there products at no extra charge for 2 years and at a great value for you money periode. buy the time the warrenty up technology changed so much its about time to buy a new laptop anyways. Hope this helps.

My favorite laptop
I'm going to make this short.

This is the first laptop that I'm truly happy with. I have gone through many laptops and desktops in the last couple of years and this is the first time that I'm able to do everything I would do on a desktop on a laptop.

The graphics card is pretty good, I'm able to play everything I throw at it at ultra high settings while using the laptop's native resolution. I upgraded to Windows 7 and all drivers work fine. The one touch overclocking works really well, and everything else is just perfect.

I didn't give it 5 stars because I think ASUS should update bios to allow more than 4GB of Ram. The motherboard should be able to handle at least 8GB if not 16GB, but ASUS says that max memory is 4GB (if anyone has tried putting 8GB in and it worked please let me know, because it will make this an awesome laptop).
