Thu 2009-10-22 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan

Futurelooks and Legit Reviews have reviewed the ASUS G51Vx, a fully featured mainstream 15" gaming notebook.

Let's see what they had to say:

Futurelooks:

"Gaming notebooks don’t have to land you in the poor house. You don’t have to spend over $3,000 to get something to play Team Fortress or Call of Duty, even if you want to dial up the settings a notch or three. The Asus G51Vx-RX05 lists at just $1049, but it gives you a great dedicated GPU, plenty of horsepower, and an integrated overclocking tool.

You also get all sorts of extra bonuses, like the HDMI port, eSATA port, backlit keyboard, numeric keypad, and a nice aesthetic for the top cover. I was more than happy with the performance in regards to watching HD video and the overall user experience was more than comfortable. Even laptops with lesser graphics cards cost more than this unit."

Legit Reviews:

"The ASUS G51Vx Gaming Notebook is perfect for the gamer that likes to travel to the occasional LAN party, but doesn't want to mess with the hassle of transporting and setting up a desktop gaming rig. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260m provides ample performance for the gamer on the move and ASUS was wise in choosing it for this mainstream gaming notebook!"

Almost out of nowhere ASUS have recently taken over the 'somewhat affordable' gaming notebook segment, and this model is definitely one reason for their success. You are getting a lot of notebook for a $1000 with the G51Vx .
