The laptops (also known as notebook computers) are getting really popular these days. At the beginning they were used mostly by business men but today many people are buying them no matter what job or age they have. The greatest thing about a notebook is its portability, meaning that you can carry it around with you and use it anytime you need to. There are many companies that are producing good notebooks, and here are the most popular ones: Hewlett Packard, Acer, Asus, Dell, Toshiba, Lenovo, Fujitsu, MSI and Apple. Each company offers many families of notebooks, each family with its own models, and each model with its own characteristics. Usually all the notebooks have the same design, but they are different from one another in size, color and especially in technical details.


Since a laptop has the same components as a PC, it can also perform the same tasks. So this means that you can listen to music on a laptop, watch movies, browse the internet, write documents and so on…and you can also play video games. There are many companies that are producing good gaming laptops, and for today we’ll discuss more about an Asus gaming laptop. and we’ll choose the most expensive laptop from Asus on the market right now, the Asus – Laptop / Intel ® Core ™ i7 Processor / 17.3 ” Display / 6 GB Memory / 500 GB Hard Drive – Black, Model: G 73 JH – RBBX 05. this may not be a laptop created especially for video games, but it has powerful enough features to play even the most complex ones. For the really good features that it offers, it isn’t very expensive either, and it costs 1300 dollars at Best Buy. It comes with the best processor on the market right now, the Intel ® Core ™ i7 – 720 QM processor which features 1333 MHz system bus, 8 MB L2 cache and 1.6 GHz processor speed with Turbo Boost up to 2.8 GHz.

It has 8 way processing for ultimate smart performance at video games or at any other activity. You can’t play a complex video game without a big RAM memory, so this model has 6 GB of DDR 3 RAM , which can be expanded up to 8 GB. And this is quite really good, considering that most of the laptops on the market come with maximum 4 GB as default. Its optical drive is good too, and it has the Multiformat DVD ± RW/ CD-RW drive with double-layer support, that can record up to 8.5 GB of data on a single DVD. for a great video quality it has a large display screen, a 17.3 ” LED LCD high definition plus widescreen display with a 1600 x 900 resolution. And the video quality cannot be complete without a good graphics card, so this model also has the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 graphics with 1GB GDDR 5 video memory for lush images.

You can store many large video games on this laptop, as well as other files (movies, music, pictures, documents etc) thanks to its large hard drive that has a capacity of 500 GB (and a rotation speed of 7200 rpm). In case the screen of 17 inch does not satisfy you, you can connect it to a larger High Definition TV, thanks to the HDMI port. It also has 3D Audio with EAX Advanced HD 4.0 and 2 built in stereo speakers for a nice audio experience. It isn’t necessary to play video games all the time, and you can also browse the internet with this laptop. you can video chat with friends and family thanks to the built in webcam and you can also transfer all sorts of files thanks to the 8 in 1 media card reader (which has support for Secure Digital, MultiMediaCard, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, Memory Stick Duo, SmartMedia and xD-Picture Card formats). It has 4 high speed USB ports, it measures 2.2 inch thin and has a weight of 7.5 lbs. so it may not be the smallest laptop on the market, and it will be recommended to keep it at home, as a desktop replacement.

But after all it is still a laptop, so you can take it with you if necessary. Its included battery can last for up to 2 hours and 27 minutes, which may not be a lot, but its better than nothing. As we said, you can also connect to the internet with this laptop and it has built in wireless LAN (802.11 b / g / n) as well as built in 10 / 100 / 1000 Mbps Fast Ethernet LAN with RJ 45 connector. In case you decide to buy it from the site of Best Buy, it will come with an installed version of the Windows 7 Home Premium Edition 64 bit operating system and some other installed programs (it also has the Best Buy Software Installer which lets you discover and install just the software and services you want).

So even though this Asus gaming laptop doesn’t look like a classic gaming laptop (for example those made by Alienware), and even if it is not as powerful as those, it still offers very good features, at a very good price. It is true that 1300 dollars is a lot of money, but compared to the Alienware laptops that cost 2000 dollars or more, this is quite a good price. Enjoy it!
