I've been quarantined for the past week due to Influenza A and have only just recovered from a high fever so I thought I share with you the beast that has been lurking in my room for the past two weeks.

Behold the latest creation to replace my HP Pavilion dv5000t, an ASUS G51VX-A1 Gaming Notebook! It cost me RM6688 and boy is it fast, in fact it's astonishing that it could have the performance of a desktop in a notebook size package. It came with an ASUS branded back pack which can be seen in the distance to the left and also a gaming mouse, basically a rebadged Razer Copperhead.

The ASUS logo, which also lights up!

The front lid, on first impression most people thought the motif was from Transformers or something! There are two side strips and a middle strip that light up when it's on AC power.

A close look at the two shelves above my desk. The flower vase is new, I thought I add it in to give it a bit more of a personal touch :p .

Word clock running on both screens at 1920 x 1080.

I have already sold of my HP so I can't make a comparison with it. It is quite large I can tell you that, even though it's footprint is similar to a 15.4" notebook. So far, I've managed to install The Orange Box, NFS Undercover, Mass Effect, Mirror's Edge and Resident Evil 4 and it gobbled up those games like it was having breakfast :laugh: ! Crysis was the only game that brought it to its knees, albeit still playable at 720p :p .

All in all, I am very pleased with my purchase, especially when I was weighing up the Dell XPS Studio 1640 before I realize the ASUS was well within my budget. More powerful too :laugh: !

Here are the specs:

Intel Core 2 Duo T9600 (2.8 GHz, 6 MB of cache)

4 GB DDR2 800 MHz SDRAM

15.6" Full HD (1920 x 1080) LED backlight screen

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M with 1024MB GDDR3 VRAM

500 GB 5400 RPM HDD

Blu-Ray DVD Combo

Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5100 ABGN

Altec Lansing speakers with Sub Woofer

Windows 7 RC1 x64

man what a great looking laptop... I would seriously get rid of my desktop for that thing..

Does it play games pretty well? Like say COD or WoW?

Considering it could play Crysis at 720p, that would be a... yes :p ?

Blind Corner - 9358-110

I don't see why, looks like there's plenty of space for the xbox....

But it looks great, love the carpet :p

Hope you're not going to use that green rug for anything else, there'd be imprints everywhere ^^

I'v had it for 4 months now, and no imprints. I paid alot for it, so it better not :)... My parent also have a bigger one in our livingroom... :)

    • While I agree with all that, it just proves there's an a** built for every seat.
    • Lol are you mad because I'm not using AI? I'd rather pay people than lose a bunch of potential customers and get humilated because I used AI. A lot of people won't purchase a game if it used AI during development.
    • LibreWolf 152.0-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 152.0-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 152.0 Release Notes Notable changes: The AppImages are now built on Codeberg along with the other releases We have decided to wait a bit longer to enable the settings redesign, due to use being aware of multiple upstream issues Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • hahahahah wow hahahah you sure got me there hahahahahah, you know that bad performance is always due to poor optimization by the developers, right???
    • "I know for a fact I'll never own one of these." This is why choice is better than government regulation. Globaly Android has something like 72% of the smartphone market. Granted the vast majority of that is low end phones. Apple can and should charge whatever they want. The market will decide if it is too much.
