Asus Gaming Laptops

Asus Gaming Laptops

My good friends at Asus gave Egamer a G60JX gaming laptop to test and review. Let’s start off and look at the specs of this laptop.

Model:              G60JX

CPU:                  i7 720QM

Mem:                8 GIG ddr3 1066 MHz

GFX:                  GTS 360 1GIG

HDD:                 500GIG 7200rpm S-ata

Optical:            DVD super-multi Blue Ray combo

OS:                     Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit

Gaming laptops are for the extreme gamers that need to be mobile. Other than that I see no purpose in getting these expensive laptops, because you can get a monster pc for the same price. If you can afford it and it suits your life stile by all means there is nothing wrong to have one.

I had the privilege to test this Asus for three weeks, and to be honest I don’t want to give it back. For me as a busy business man, it is perfect! To always have my life with me is just great. I have decided to get one for my self, it is expensive but it is worth it.

I did not run many bench marks on it, but it scored a 5 500+ on 3d Mark Vantage. I did however play lots of new games on it. The one game I loved playing was Farcry 2, it is amazing that a laptop can play a game like this so smoothly, and with perfect graphics.The G60jx is the smallest of the Asus gaming laptops, with a price tag of round about R17 000.00 and it really performs well. Stock is very limited so if u are interested make sure you pre order one today.

I love the way it looks outside it looks really great, like a gaming laptop should, inside it is a bit plain, but the layout of keyboard and the backlight for the buttons make it look good at night or in darker rooms. The LED screen makes for great scenes and graphics and with lightning quick response times.

This laptop is ideal for the always traveling business man slash gamer. And maybe the rich students that stays in rez and prefers to take their gaming equipment with them where ever they go.

    ASUS actually makes something aside from their tiny ass EEE-PC? O.o

    Once had a Sony Ericsson gaming laptop for R14000, served me faithfully for years until gfx card (FX6900Go) blew :<

      They have been making Gaming laptops now for many years, and they are rated as the top gaming laptops by ROG(republic of gamers). These laptops are actually designed by people like me and u, which makes even better. And it is a 16″ LED screen sorry :)
