Asus G50VT-X5

By (cnet.com)

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...

Asus G50V-A1 review

By (cnet.com)

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

With its gamer-friendly design, which includes glowing LEDs on the lid and...

"A gaming laptop dream come true!"

By cyclonica1980 (cnet.com)

This is about the best you can get. This comp... 

500 gig HD 7200, 4 gigs of ram, GEFORCE 9800M GT. Sleek looking machine. Option to boot into linux instead of Windows if your just gonna access email, im or surf the web. Cool lighting effects. free backpack, razor diamond back mouse, and video game.

The speakers royally suck. Some of the included features are useless. No volume control without the Fn button.

Nice looks. The laptop has gotten some attention. It runs great, everyone is jealous!

Battery life will go out much faster than you think. Its pretty heavy, but its a gaming laptop. Speakers are poor, but just plug in your own.

"It is simply a great notebook!"

By samurai-raptor (cnet.com)

Absolutely everything about this thing is great, except for maybe one thing, explained int cons.

I am not that big a fan of Windows Vista, but it is slowly growing on me.
