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.

Front image of the full size keyboard, with the HDMI and eSata cables attached to the left.

Did I forget to mention that the keyboard was backlit :p ?

Large

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.

You would think I have a mouse fetish or something :p .

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?

[shihchiun]

It'll definitely handle WoW without a problem

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

Blind Corner - 9358-110

My somewhat organized workstation :p

The monitor on the right is connected to the laptop on the left, which I use for work. Monitor on the middle is connected to my desktop PC (not shown) and my Xbox 360.

There are two things I hate you for mrk:

Your awesome wall and your awesome floor. I'm going to paint my wall that colour when I get around to it.
