ASUS F50Sv A2 16-inch laptop

By (cnet.com)

New Nvidia graphics processor ; Blu-ray drive ; solid construction

Weak speakers for a multimedia notebook ; uninspiring design ; short battery life

While it's a Blu-ray-equipped 16-inch laptop with good gaming muscle, the Asus F50SV-A2's design left us cold.

The $1,249 Asus F50SV-A2 packs a Blu-ray drive and a new mainstream Nvidia...

ASUS F50Sv-A2 - Review of the ASUS F50Sv-A2

By Joanna Stern (laptopmag.com)

Stylish design, Very strong graphics performance, Smooth Blu-ray playback, Excellent warranty

Short battery life, Single, stiff mouse button, No 1080p display option

Unfortunately, Express Gate doesn't remember settings that have already been entered in the Windows environment, such as Wi-Fi passwords. Configuring this software to connect to access points in our office was difficult and much less intuitive than in ...

"The F50 is a machine of power, not portability."

By mdbkniep (cnet.com)

Essentially, this machine does exactly what I... 

With the 1GB dedicated gpu, 2.4 Ghz dual core processor, and bright display this machine turns out to be a beast. It could encode .avi videos far quicker than my macbook or desktop pc

The battery life is pitiful. It gives you enough to operate in power saving mode for a whopping 90 minutes, that's about it. The display resolution was ok, but it could use 1080p capability considering the bluray player

good bang for buck

By N/A (newegg.com)

This is a good laptop even tho i said so many cons, the pros outweigh them. I use this laptop 10-15 hours a day and still runs strong. I had problems right away with it but i contacted ASUS and they helped me fix my problems. Although i wish i could get m...

Awesome

By N/A (newegg.com)

For the price great build, great warranty, great for gaming. Overall A++

Awesome laptop and great price, for 800$. It has a great build for its price. Graphics card is solid, so far was able to try out fallout 3 on ultra high. The laptop also stays pretty cool so far just gets warm but never too hot

Why there is 4gigs of ram with vista 32bit is just a wonder, also with tons of bloatware as usual. Not too much of a big deal, replaced it with window 7 64bit right away
