Generic OEM design ; gigantic chassis ; smallish keyboard compared with its size

W90

By Zack Stern (pcworld.com)

I'm not sure whether "desktop replacement" accurately describes the heft of the Asus W90VP, but I certainly agree with the included warning not to use it on a lap. Slightly more "monster" than "monstrosity," this luggable goes where it wants with a 16 ...

Good game performance Crisp, sizable, 18.4-inch screen

Weak sound Screen glare due to glossy panel

Asus W90

By Rory Reid (cnet.co.uk)

Asus might not be the first name you think of when it comes to gaming laptops, but it has just sent us the fastest 3D performer weÂ've ever seen. With 6GB of RAM, Blu-ray and a large 18.4-inch screen, itÂ's an amazing performer.

Stylish design for a gaming laptop ; Super-fast graphics performance ; Huge 6GB of memory ; Big screen

Hard to carry, unless you&apos ; re on steroids ; Blu-ray software didn&apos ; t work for us ; Pricey

The W90 is the fastest gaming laptop we've ever tested. Its hyper-quick graphics card and enormous 18.4-inch screen has opened a can of industrial-strength whup-ass on its Alienware and Dell XPS rivals. Just make sure you're strong enough to carry the ...

Asus hasn't neglected this area entirely -- it has twin 320GB drives -- but...

Great Gaming Notebook

By J. Burton (amazon.com)

Great Gaming Notebook

Amazon delivered this laptop as advertised. It's really is a great machine. I use it specifically for gaming and it delivers. Call of Duty World at War worked flawlessly. Other games such as Grid, Crysis and others just work. No frame rate issues, no...

Amazing Buy

Amazing Buy

I have the LT for a week and a day at this point, and I must say, that I love it to death. I normally build my own PC's, but was too lazy to go through the hassle of finding the parts and putting it all together myself. I wanted something small and comp...
