Asus G51J-3D review: Asus G51J-3D

Asus G51J-3D

Built-in Nvidia 3D Vision technology; fast Intel Core i7 CPU; decent gaming performance.

Expensive; 3D gaming is still niche; small screen for a gaming rig.

The Asus G51J-3D is the first laptop to incorporate Nvidia's 3D vision technology. If you absolutely love the idea of 3D gaming, this proof-of-concept system will work well for a pricey showpiece.

ASUS G51J-1B 3D

With the ASUS G51J-1B 3D, ASUS and Nvidia delivered a convincing 3D experience. Too bad it's limited to just games.

3D game play done right. 3D glasses work and fit well. Fast Core i7 processor. Good graphics card. Back-lit keyboard. Comfortable palm rests. Dual hard drives. Exceptional sound system.

Screen resolution is low for a gaming laptop. 3D effects limited to games only. 3D effects will cost you.

ASUS G51J Review

The G51J is the latest 15-inch gaming notebook from ASUS, sporting the new Intel Core i7 mobile processor and Windows 7 operating system. This notebook shares a lot of features with the previous G51VX, with only a hardware refresh to support the Core...

Improved keyboard tray design ; Speedy Intel Core i7 processor ; 200 price drop compared to previous model

Too much hype in the 1.6 to 2.8GHz overclocking feature

Multimedia performance was excellent as expected, with ample processing power to handle decoding 1080P videos at the same time with barely breaking a sweat. With the Core i7 handling 8 threads at the same time, there was always available overhead to...

ASUS G51J 3D 15.6" Gaming Notebook

The term "3D" has been used quite a bit over the past couple of months, and as it stands today, there's a fair bit of content available to those with capable hardware. But on the mobile side of things, support is just beginning to creep in. The first...

As I mentioned in the intro, long before I received the G51J 3D, I had a good feeling of what to expect. The main reason simply boils down to the fact that in overall design, the G51J 3D is near-identical to the G51Vx I took a look at this past fall....
