ASUS G50V REVIEW

Thumps up Gamers - G50V from ASUS

The G50V is ASUS' most recent laptop toting up to their Republic of Gamers series brand name. It is a high-presentation 15.4-inch laptop based on the Intel Centrino 2 platform. ASUS proffers the G50V in quite a lot of different designs.

Design
The G50V is aspired directly at the gaming multitude. Its design articulates "gamer" no affair what way you gaze at it. There is nothing inconspicuous about the design of this laptop. Let's establish with the flipside of the lid. The most eye-catching fraction about the flipside of the cover is the 4 blue lights. They are not excessively bright, but are effortlessly seen. 2 light bars are positioned at either end of the closure on the exceptionally periphery, which flash in patterns. At the top of the cover is a comprehensible shield with the Republic of Gamers emblem inside. To conclude, towards the underneath there is a horizontal light bar that durations about half of the lid.

Performance

The 15.4-inch WSXGA+ exhibit is completely stunning. It is extremely bright and has elevated distinction. The lustrous finish assists this display convey colors to life. Though the G50V's 2 speakers transmit the Altec Lansing insignia, their sound quality departs much to be wished. They are tinny, and there is no intimation of bass. They also are comparatively quiet. This segment is a high point for the G50V-A1. One huge fan takes care of the warmth from both the processor and graphics accelerator card, and ejects it out the left side through a great vent. While idling, the laptop is fundamentally muffled. Under full load, the only resonance to be heard is a flash of air - motor clatter is thankfully missing.
