ASUS G Series G50V

Hello all!

I am planning on making a purchase soon and needed your input.

I am interested in a laptop from Asus:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

I will mainly use the laptop for school but I want the laptop to be verastile not strictly just word processing.

The specs looks good on it but, I have own an Asus Laptop before and it was super slow; although that was an 11 inch or 12 inch. I couldn't even install any games on it :( 

How is that comparable to the Mac Air? (I heard lots of bad stories on it though; but I like the design) I want something that small and light but I do not like Apple's OS. Is there a product that is similar the Mac Air with Windows OS?

Also, I want something that is funky, out of the ordinary not some boring old black or silver laptop. Is there a good brand that does that besides Sony Vaio?


Thank you!

That's a gamer's notebook, if you aren't going to play intensive games, it's a waste of money.

There is a machine that's actually better than the Macbook air - smaller, lighter, more features - the HP Envy 133. I'm not sure if it's out yet, but if you google it you'll see pictures of it - it's a sweet machine.

Also in the vein of the Air and Voodoo Envy 133 is the Lenovo X300 its also around $2000 and does have a on-board DVD burner (Official Lenovo price is $1,896.10).

Also interesting is the IdeaPad U110, but that is an ultra portable.

The only game that I would actually play is World of Warcaft...not graphic intense at all I know. But I want something more than I can use just case.

The envy and the Lenovo looks nice. Something that I would purchase. How would it be for gaming?

I own a Asus g50v I bought from new egg. Its a gamers laptop. I Love it for its size its power packed plus the free backpack and gaming mouse is very nice. I currently run EVE as my main game it runs it on full graphics very well now here where it rocks i use 4 eve accounts and can run 4 clients XM radio and surf the net without any noticeable lag if i do anything extra after that the lag hits. all in all I would say that is petty dam good for a laptop my Alienware 8800gts sli desktop couldn't handle it without lag. I blame it on the AMD processor mostly. Plays crises on high with no hiccups for the price of 1280 bucks Im am one happy camper and I have a nice bag to boot. recommended A+++++

PS. I own a 4 year old asus z96j laptop. the key board stopped working after the first year. Sent it back they payed the RMA 1 day shipping there and back i had it whiten 4 days returned and working. There 2 year warrenty rocks and i am really happy i have the same warranty on the new laptop
