Asus G71Gx Reviews

Pocket Lint reviews the Asus G71Gx and writes;

“The G71Gx can’t match some of the more expensive gaming laptops when it comes to sheer power, but it does strike a good compromise between price and performance. The quad-core processor sets it apart from many of its rivals when it comes to multi-tasking and, aside from battery life, it’s a good all-round package.”
Rating: ★★★½☆

CNET reviews the Asus G71Gx and writes;

The good: Good components for cost; secondary instant-on Linux OS; separate number pad. The bad: Big, heavy, and power hungry; mixed performance; lights can’t be completely shut off; no dedicated media controls.”
Rating: ★★★½☆

Notebookcheck reviews the Asus G71Gx and writes;

“The Asus G71Gx looks very good at first sight: The design is appealing, a vast number of connections and supplies are included, the keyboard and the touchpad are convincing and the components speak for a high performance.”

TechRadar reviews the Asus G71Gx and writes;

“Overall, the G71GX is an impressive laptop at a good price. It’s not the ultimate gaming machine, but the custom chassis places it above the Novatech and Cyberpower when it comes to design. It can’t match the style and quality of the Alienware, however.”
Rating: ★★★½☆

PC Pro reviews the Asus G71Gx and writes;

“The LED-backlit 17in display is equally impressive. With a Full HD 1,920 x 1,080 resolution there’s plenty of desktop space and, of course, the right amount of pixels to take full advantage of Blu-ray movies courtesy of the LG CT10N Blu-ray reader.”

Good Laptop by Computer Guru
Rating: ★★★★½

“…So all in all, this is a very good laptop. I’ve had a couple small issues as mentioned above, but I still would recommend this system for gaming or just an all around good multi-media system. The backpack and gaming mouse included are nice too!”

“This laptop is incredibly good. Just from turning it on and viewing the 1080 High Definition LCD screen will make any gamer drool. It runs Aion on literally the highest settings without any flaws. The only time the laptop experienced difficulty with the game was after 6 hours of straight play due to it heating up fairly well….”
