    5 out of 5 stars Solid, Awesome performance   February 11, 2010
    D. Armstrong
    54 out of 57 found this review helpful

    Yeah, I guess you could be upset that you didn't get some complimentary swag or whatever with this machine, but I didn't buy it for swag.

    Let's get down to business, shall we?

    Pluses: Gorgeous, smooth graphics in Star Trek Online, DDO, Champions Online and Team Fortress 2 with the sliders cranked just shy of the max. EAX sound is amazing: even sounds decent out of the built-in speakers (really rocks with my headphones though). CPU performance and multitasking is sweet and responsive. I have multi-surfed Word, Visual Studio and Photoshop CS with no lag or issues.

    More ports than you can shake a stick at: plenty of USB, eSATA, FireWire (1394) and even HDMI (which outputs to full 1080p if that floats your boat). Bluetooth devices are easily paired. Amazing Windows 7 performance (rates a 5.9 Windows Experience out of the box, with 6.6s in graphics, before any tweaking)

    This thing is a sweet PC for money.

    Cons: Runs hot. Be sure to keep side vents for cooling free. Might be worth investing in a cooling mat for this bad boy. Also, can we please not pre-install a bunch of crap on our new, high-performance gaming machines? I had to uninstall a bunch of cheesey ASUS games and stuff before I could really get down to business.




    5 out of 5 stars Very Nice   February 14, 2010
    D. Flaws (Southern CA)
    37 out of 38 found this review helpful

    I did a bit of research and this laptop seemed pretty highly anticipated by those looking to buy and well received by the few that already had them. I also saw that it seemed most of the initial shipment came with 1333MHz DDR3 ram instead of 1066. I opened mine up and it does have 1333MHz. A supply issue I guess. Very nice considering it's a $150+ upgrade on some websites.

    I installed Borderlands and it seemed like a dog at first, then I realized I didn't have the AC adapter plugged in. It automatically goes to a power saver mode when only on battery (of course) and it makes a big difference. Once plugged in I put all the settings on high except for anti-aliasing at 4 instead of 16 and resolution at native 1920x1080 it ran a little slow. Frame rate was around 30 usually. Fine for most games but not a FPS. At 1280x720 the frame rate was in the 50s. I played for about an hour and it was running very hot so I stopped for a while. I bought this laptop to replace an older Dell laptop I had because I burned out the vid card on the Dell, so I was a bit worried, maybe needlessly.

    The keyboard is fine but the keys are real slippery, could use some kind of texture or concave shape. They are lighted which will be very useful (hit Fn+F4 when you 1st get it, mine were turned off).
    Could use a USB in the back (I like to use a cooling pad) but it has 2 on each side near the front which is nice.
    Lights on the lid are annoying. The side ones turn off in battery mode, I'll have to look into a setting to turn them off all the time. The logo light in the center of the lid never turns off.
    I like the physical switch for wireless and bluetooth.

    No dead pixels, I'll be looking close for 30 days but I hope to not have to RMA. Nice warranties on this thing, definitely a selling point. Watch out if you try to buy an ASUS from Best Buy --they do not honor all the standard ASUS warranties, I think the accident insurance. Because Best Buy wants to sell you their own insurance for $179.

    The thing I don't like the most about this laptop is the screen size. Not the resolution but the actual physical size. There is approximately a 3/4 inch bezel on the sides and bottom and nearly 1 1/4 inch at the top. This makes the laptop less attractive visually also, like it's chunky and thick. The large top bezel is likely because of the webcam which I will never use. The screen could easily be 16+ inches which would help lots with the high resolution. At 1920x1080 for a laptop you need all the size you can get. Text at 100% is tiny but mine shipped at 125% so that's smart on their part. I primarily use it for painting in Photoshop and Painter so the high resolution is great. Trying to show someone text on the screen is difficult when they can't read it unless they are real close.

    One other thing I didn't like was 40+GB of pre-installed software. Why anyone would want all this crap is beyond me. I was going to wipe and reinstall but there is the quick start OS which I need to look into and see if that will be wiped and if there is any difficulty reinstalling it. I pretty much always plan on wiping a new computer but most people wouldn't so that is a factor.

    I got my backpack and mouse, I see some others didn't.

    Oh yeah it's not black, even the darkest part of the lid is a dark blue.

    So:
    +Free ram upgrade
    +speedy
    +lighted keys
    +wireless switch
    +free backpack and mouse
    -slippery keys
    -physical screen size
    -bloatware

    All in all very happy with it.

    I can't say enough good things about this machine. Yes, the "gameboy" packaging is a bit garish and it is a fingerprint magnet, but it's what's on the inside that counts. The ultra-high-density screen is amazing. Speed is incredible and the features can't be beat for the money. As an IT professional, I have dealt with Asus' technical support in the past and have found them to be outstanding. The free accidental breakage coverage is unprecedented. Get yours now!


    5 out of 5 stars Great laptop for the price.   February 15, 2010
    J. Taylor
    14 out of 17 found this review helpful

    This is the most powerful laptop I have seen at this price point. This system is easily a match for high end gaming systems by alienware or voodoo pc, but at hundreds of dollars less.

    Pros:
    There are a plethora of ports on the laptop - 4 usb, 1 e-sata, 1 hdmi, and 1 firewire. Add the standard network jack and multi-card reader, and you can use almost any conceivable device on this.

    The display is gorgeous, with full 1080p resolution.

    There is plenty of power out of the box. This machine was able to play Dragon Age, Champions Online, and City of Heroes at full 1920 x 1080 resolution with graphics sliders set to maximum with no slowdown.

    The power is not limited to gaming. I was able to run Word, Access, Excel, Visio, and several web browsers simultaneously with no slowdown in the applications.
    The illuminated keyboard is a very nice touch, making it easier to use the system in low light.


    Cons:
    A machine this powerful generates a lot of heat. You will need a cooling mat of some kind.

    The ROG logo and case art is cool looking, but it can be gauche in a business environment.

    The battery life is on the short side, but I had planned on using this plugged in anyway.

    Bottom Line:
    The G51JX-X3 is a steal for the price being offered. It is a powerful desktop replacement at a great price.



    5 out of 5 stars Almost everything I expected   July 8, 2010
    T. Austin Kluth
    4 out of 4 found this review helpful

    PROS:
    -Fantastic display and resolution.
    -Super fast boot time. There isn't even a normal POST screen (but you can still change boot order and enter BIOS).
    -Sleek design. The campy "Republic of Gamers" labels are very small.
    -Very good quality webcam
    -Convenient and secure face detection tool for logging in.
    -Nice, comfortable keyboard with backlight that has three levels of brightness.
    -Backback is black with no "Republic of Gamers" labels.
    -Mouse is comfortable and sleek. Also has DPI and frequency adjustment switches on the bottom.

    CONS:
    -Main hard disk size is small. Only about 150GB. Comes with extra 329GB hard drive, though, but I'd prefer my C: drive be larger.
    -It's thick and big. This is technically a desktop replacement notebook, but everyone prefers a laptop be small.
    -Most everything has a 7.0+ Windows Experience rating (max is 7.9), but the hard drive has only 5.9. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. I'm not entirely sure if the rating is low because of the disk size or the disk speed.

    Notes:
    -People have complained in reviews about the volume being really low. Perhaps Asus improved this laptop recently, but the max volume is plenty loud.
    -The side vent gets very hot. I'm not sure if this is more of indication that the system gets super hot or that the ventilation system Asus designed is super effective.
    -Despite there being a side vent, the bottom of the laptop does begin to heat up after a while's use. Though I'm not sure how useful a cooling pad would be considering the vast majority of the heat comes from the side.
    -I haven't tried any games on this laptop yet. This review is based on my initial impressions after two days of use.

    This is a HUGE bang-for-the-buck laptop. This has far better specs than the 17" MacBook Pro, and that costs $2,500.
