Consumer review (newegg.com)

Very durable, great looker, a beast, highly upgradeable and a friend.

 

I currently use this at school and plan on using it until it breaks to the point where I can't repair it cheaply. Some of the engineering students there like it. When/if it dies I might buy another one cheap off an online auction site, or a used MSI...

It’s quite the laptop with the G50VT-X6, which is a version with the red trim. The "LOUD STYLING" is good! I wish they would bring it back. The weight is still less than a new GT72 980m gaming laptop. You can upgrade the fan from the Delta 0.4 Amp fan...

The niche external antenna port, I don't think it is connected to anything internally. Aftermarket batteries cannot handle this laptop. Unreliable when power consumption increases. Can be loud. Speakers not that loud. Some system noise through...

Very Impressive

 

Be sure you sign up for the 1 year fully accidental warranty, as you only have 30 days to do it. To sum it up, if you seek a sick looking high performance laptop to impress your friends with, look no further!!

First of all, this laptop looks SO cool. There are blue lights around the mousepad, as well as on the back (a strip on each side and one illuminating the Republic of Gamers logo). The black and orange looks very sleek. Performance wise you almost can't...

Other reviews are correct about the battery life...it's very short. Not a big concern for me. If you game a lot you will need to flash the bios to the 213 version, as the version it comes with does not run the fan for the components very well. My...

Excellent Value

 

I built a few similarly specced models on dell and alienware, and hp and the value to spec ratio for this laptop was far better than any of the more popular brands. This particular package came with a great backpack which fits the laptop perfectly, it...

Excellent specs for the price, LED accents are a nifty touch, secondary OLED screen helped to get me off the fence on this buy, touchpad responds accurately and quickly, keyboard layout feels a bit odd for some reason but overall, fairly spacious for a...

The screen isn't the best but to be honest it really doesn't bother me all that much. Factory settings for the LED accent strips are terrible, something like being in a rave with all the flashing and what not. Little bit heavier than I expected and of...

Amazing Laptop

 

Newegg was amazing. Order came in two days flat, ordered it on wednesday and it came on friday...previously i did not have much luck with quick deliveries but this time Newegg came through. Every game ive played so far...Left 4 Dead, Fall out 3, and...

This is the perfect laptop that combines comfortable screen size, powerful cpu, impressive gpu, and price. I purchased this laptop a couple weeks ago and have had no problems. This laptop is dedicated for gaming hands down. it might not have the most...

The battery life is depressing. From what ive read with the Asus G50 series and from what ive experienced with mine is that this series is a power hog. There are customizations for power usage relating to cpu and gpu...screen brightness but they wil...

Fantastic Notebook

 

Was going to purchase the G50VT-X6, which has a higher screen resolution, then it jumped from $1249.99 with a $100 mail in rebate, to $1549.99, the same day I saw Newegg got these in stock. I was a little worried about the screen resolution being...

Great for the money, absolutely staggering performance in all games i've played so far at full detail setting, I've had NOTHING lag. The wireless N is lightning fast (As long as you've got the router and line to back it up) and the LEDs on the top make...

Vista is horrible, hands down. My screen has ONE dead pixel. Contacted ASUS, they said that if it were a Bright pixel they could replace it for free, but since it's only one dead one, there was nothing they can do. It's not noticeable, I only noticed...

Based on Asus's last most recent G50vt Model

 

I've been very happy with my G50vt, there's not much more I could expect it to do, except maybe my yardwork :P. It also has a quick booting OS if you want to surf the web, listen to music, skype, look at pictures, without booting into windows. All in...

I just thought I'd help out anyone who wants to know more about this model. This is from the perspective of Asus's last G50 which no longer exists on newegg, but is very similar to this model, with the exception of a lower resolution screen, less...

I had some problems with the system freezing occasionally, requiring a reboot, but have since reformatted and haven't seen the problem since then. This laptop is big, this appears to be the same case as all the other laptops in the G50 series, and its...

Great laptop for Linux

 

An hour after the laptop arrive, Vista was gone and replaced with Fedora 11. Fedora had the right drivers for the intel wireless and found my wireless network immediately. A quick trip to the NVidia website and I had NVidia's driver for 9M series...

The integrated numeric keypad on the right is going to take some getting used to.
