Asus G50v: 15-inch gaming laptop
Posted in: LaptopsAsus announced a new gaming laptop in its catalog. The G50v belongs to the Republic of Gamers range.
The G50v has a 15.4-inch display with a native resolution of 1680 x 1050 pixels. Asus provides in this gaming laptop a Centrino 2 platform. The processor used here is a Core 2 Duo P8600 at 2.4 GHz. 4GB RAM is installed in the G50v to ensure the good transfer of information. The 2 x 2 GB of DDR2 (800 MHz) operate in Dual Channel, which optimizes the performance of RAM. For the storage, we have a hard drive of 320 GB at 5400 rpm. A hard drive of 7200 rpm would have been valuable and even an SSD option. For the optical side, it has a double-layer DVD burner.
The graphics card is correct. It’s a GeForce 9700M GT equipped with 512 MB of video memory. With it, it may not be possible to operate all games in native resolution but the latest productions should still operate effectively. For mobility, Asus has taken a 6-cell battery lighter than the 8 or 9 cells. The Taiwanese manufacturer has even found a place to put a numeric keypad attached to the keyboard of this G50v.
For the sound, it’s Altec Lansing that has been chosen. There are a speaker system that supports Dolby Home Theater. Finally, it’s a gaming laptop of 2.8kg which suggested for a price of $1,700.
