Asus G60Vx Gaming Notebook Reviewed
by Sze | Filed under Laptop
Asus G60Vx is one of the models of the Republic of Gamers G60 notebook lineup, which is currently available in the UK. The notebook is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 2.53GHz processor, 4GB memory and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M with 1GB RAM. It packs dual 320GB 7200RPM hard drive and a Blu-ray DVD burner combo.
Asus G60Vx has a 16-inch LCD display and supports WiFi and Bluetooth. The gaming laptop has been tested by bit-tech:
Conclusion:
On paper, and in the tests, the G60Vx acquits itself pretty well. There’s not much wrong with a 2.53GHz Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM and a Blu-Ray drive, after all. Add in the quality keyboard and the not horrific styling and you might think it’s a product well on its way to a recommendation. And in some respects, it does get close – after all, it’s a gaming laptop which can play a good number of modern games at the native resolution of its panel.
The problem is said panel is poor quality, and the resolution is irritatingly low for 2D usage. Add in the fact that Radeon HD 4850 equipped machines are as quick in gaming and tend to be cheaper and we think you’ll see why we’ve concluded the G60Vx is far from perfect for most people.
