Asus G2S review: Asus G2S

 

Asus G2S

HDMI and E-SATA jacks; cool industrial design; reasonably priced gaming rig.

Merely average gaming scores; not for those who don't want a glowing eyeball on their laptops.

Asus offers up a respectable 17-inch gaming rig with the Asus G2S. Its good looks, however, are offset by uninspiring gaming performance.

ASUS G2S

 

The ASUS G2S doesn't have the premium parts that gaming professionals can brag about, but it will make an entry-level gamer very happy.

Lovely brushed aluminum lid. 1,920-by-1,200 screen resolution. 5 USB ports.

Not for professional gamers. Below-grade battery life.

Asus G2S-A1 Review

 

This is my first laptop. I decided to purchase the G2S-A1 because I don't think I will be moving it around all that much. Once I narrowed my choices down to one brand, I had to choose between the 15.4 inch G1S-A1 or the 17.1 inch G2S-A1. I do tend to...

Absolutely beautiful screen, no dead or stuck pixels ; Solid build quality ; Works right out of the box with no problems ; Fast, smooth performance

Lots of glassy-smooth areas to collect fingerprints ; The glowing "eyeball" under the touchpad will take some getting used to ; Speakers were a little quiet while watching movies ; All but one of the USB ports are located on the back of the machine

The Asus G2S-A1 comes with a few pieces of quite useful software. Included are an antivirus program, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and Nero Express. The anti-virus was a trial version and was quickly uninstalled and replaced with a fully licensed version....

ASUS G2S Gaming Notebook

 

Forget other notebooks which profess to be for gamers, the new ASUS G2S Gaming Notebook has the true look, feel, and power of a gaming notebook.

The ASUS G2S is a solid and powerful gaming solution for gamers on the road. The included backpack is an excellent carry bag and the gaming mouse is a nice addition. The move towards HDMI and e-SATA is promising.
