Asus G50VT-X5

Excellent CPU and GPU for the price ; secondary instant-on Linux OS ; separate number pad

Big and heavy ; no Bluetooth ; lights can't be completely shut off ; no dedicated media controls

The Asus G50VT-X5 offers great gaming performance for under $1,000, but it's missing some basic amenities we've come to expect, and the lightning-bolt design may not appeal to all.

The $949 15.6-inch Asus G50VT-X5 certainly looks the part of a gaming laptop, with splashes of color, lights everywhere, an extended keyboard, and a small secondary OLED display. The 17-inch Gateway FX P-7805u is still our pick for a mainstream...

Asus G50V-A1 review

Affordable price ; attractive case design includes LED lights ; 10-key number pad ; near-1080p display resolution ; combined 500GB of storage space ; Express Gate software lets you access media and the Web without booting Windows ; laptop comes with ...

Woeful battery life ; poor speakers ; lacks hardware media controls

The affordable, gaming-oriented Asus G50V delivers playable frame rates in a portable, 15.4-inch case. If not for a 17-inch gamer from Gateway, we'd say this Asus laptop is an unbeatable value.

With its gamer-friendly design, which includes glowing LEDs on the lid and orange metallic accents on the keyboard deck, the 15.4-inch Asus G50V-A1 seems to take a deliberate stab at the Alienware Area-51 m15x. Above it sits a silver Asus logo,...

Asus G50vt- X1

By Travis Simon

Award: Recommended!

An “affordable†gaming rig with impressive specs for the price range...but missing some key aspects to make it the 'bargain' rig to get...

Nice design, Very decent performance, Good Connectivity

No real upgrade options, Display needs vast improvement, Non-usable connections (tv tuner), No "extras" you normally get from ASUS

The keyboard feels good, has nice tactile response and travel â€" nothing incredible to mark down on that area. Flex wasn't an issue so much as the chassis on this unit seems very rigid and constructed well. The standard layout doesn't seem ...

Asus G50VT Review

By Nick Mokey

Asus' G50Vt rolls an impressive array of hardware into a large, but affordable gaming system.

Screaming performance; reasonable price; lots of inputs/outputs

Poor battery life; very large and heavy; loud styling; mediocre sound

ASUS G50V

By Todd Haselton

The ASUS G50V is a strong gaming system that won't break your budget or your back.

Aggressive styling, 3-inch LCD displays system stats, Good gaming performance, Comfortable keyboard

More expensive than similar systems, Slow boot time

ExpressGate is ASUS' version of Splashtop's instant-on environment powered by Linux, which you can launch by pressing a small lightning bolt key above the keyboard when the G50V is off. ExpressGate allows you to do the basics, such as chat, surf the ...

Asus G50

By Rory Reid

The £1,000 Asus G50 gaming laptop -- the latest to sport Asus' Republic of Gaming logo -- is aimed at those who want to frag with impunity, safe in the knowledge that their gaming experience won't be interrupted by untimely slowdown. The G50's HDMI ...

Solid gaming performance ; garish, but tolerable design ; Blu-ray drive

Screen resolution is comparatively low ; poor battery life

The G50 is an attractive, well-constructed laptop with decent, if hardly stunning performance. It isn't the best gaming laptop we've seen, but its HDMI output and Blu-ray combo player make it a solid Media Center machine

Design Asus has designed the G50 to grab your attention. Asus wants users of the G50 to go nuts and install as many games as they please -- it has supplied two 320GB hard drives, totalling 640GB of storage. Asus' Republic of Gamers brand has been...

Asus G50v notebook

Compact gaming powerhouse?

The Asus G50v is a great gaming notebook. The build quality and performance are amazing for such a compact machine. It's also great value for the price. If there is any problem with this machine it's the lack of Full HD support, which would have ...

Asus G50V review

By Jayesh Shinde

The Asus G50V, Asus' latest range of gaming laptops, is fully loaded with features that are a testimony to its performance.

The notebook comes with a backpack and two years warranty. Overall, we liked what we saw of the Asus G50V, and gaming is its only mantra. But, gaming laptops are a rare breed. They cater to a niche that likes to indulge and doesn't mind splurging more ...
