Well-designed laptop. Fast processor. Great price. Very good gaming performance.

Not for professional gamers. All four USB ports are in the back. Atrocious battery life.

Not for professional gamers. All four USB ports are in the back. Atrocious battery life

The ASUS G1S is not the best gaming laptop by a long shot. But very good performance scores, an affordable price, and a great design make it an ideal media center/gaming system.

Stable and robust case ; Good workmanship, high-quality materials ; User-friendly order of interfaces ; Good input devices ; Bright display, high resolution ; Very good performance ; Comprehensive equipment

Striking design ; Display reflects clearly, only moderate stability to the vantage point and illumination ; Moderate regarding temperature and noise emissions

Solid build quality from the high quality screen to the minutiae such as the tactile feedback from the keyboard, touchpad and buttons ; Very good processing performance ; Decent pricing ; Very nice aesthetic that is well suited to its gaming purpose

Poor speakers ; Minor problems such as clumping of the USB ports and personal preferences for the positioning of the Home, PgUp, PgDn and End keys ; Bloatware

The battery life is decent for the G1S. I watched a movie on the power saving mode and the battery went for 2hrs 30 minutes with about 6% left. Not astounding battery life, but definitely decent for this sized laptop

Awesome screen & resolution ; Solid case design & good looks ; Fast performance ; Nice mouse & backpack ; 2-year global warranty ; MS Vista capable

Bloat ware by Asus ; Slow hard drive ; Poor speakers

Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase. I knew from prior experience that laptop speakers are tiny and sad, so it was no surprise when they sounded poor. Performance is akin to my home-built desktop* when running most software, although the hard...

One of the best gaming laptops in this screen/body size ; Sleek, solid design ; Unique, cool features ; 2 year global warranty ; Upgrade eligibility to Vista ; 1799 is an affordable price for a gaming laptop

XP Media Center rather than XP Pro ; OLED may be difficult to customize ; Few options with Direct Flash ; Slight Light leakage ; Bloatware ; No ExpressCard Slot ; LCD can wobble when shaken

Since the sister system, the G2, runs rival chip maker ATI's (now AMD) X1700 GPU comparisons are inevitable. So here are my two cents: You can wait for the G2 to come out, but if all reports are to transpire you may see a performance edge on the G1 due...

Stabile and robust case ; Good workmanship and high-quality appearance ; User-friendly order of interfaces ; Good input devices ; Bright display, good illumination ; Good performance ; Comprehensive equipment

Partly deliberate design ; Display heavily reflects and weakness regarding stability to the vantage point ; Moderate regarding noise and temperature emissions

This notebook is dead sexy. Every so often I find myself going Holy **** this notebook looks awesome. The outside casing of the laptop is a smooth , glossy , carbon fiber-esque design in black with a silver Asus logo in the middle. On the inside is a...

Whenever we receive a notebook for review, we have it at most for two or three weeks prior to it being sent back. That wasn't the case with the G1S, however. In all, I've been using the notebook periodically for the past 75 days, 19 of which it was...
