ASUS N61VN Reviews

NotebookReview reviews the ASUS N61VN and writes;

“Build quality is excellent with a solid chassis, durable paint, and strong screen hinges. The glossy and rubbery paint resists most wear and tear very well…Gaming performance is very good with the NVIDIA 240M, handling many of the latest games with ease at the system’s WXGA resolution. ”

PC world reviews the ASUS N61VN and writes;

“The N61VN scored 7244 points in Futuremark’s 3DMark 06 synthetic benchmark which is a fantastic score for an entertainment notebook. However, don’t mistake it for a serious gaming machine; the N61Vn only ran Crysis Warhead at around 15 frames per second in a 1366×768 resolution. With low settings, it will capably play most games but it is best to look elsewhere if you’re serious about gaming on a notebook.”

TomsGuide reviews the ASUS N61VN and writes;

“The design of the N61 reflects some of the more popular notebook trends of 2009: a Chiclet-style keyboard, a rubberized palm rest, and a multi-gesture touchpad all make using the N61 easy, whether it’s sitting on the desk or on your lap. The keyboard is full and generous, and the chiclet design means there is ample spacing between keys. Solid construction means there no flexing when the palm rest is put under pressure, and the Caps/Num/Scroll Locks lights are all easy to find.”

ASUS N61VN User Reviews

Happy, but needed work by Eolian
Rating: ★★★★☆

“For the money Asus provides good hardware. Speed is all relative to what was previously owned. Anyone purchasing computers every 3 years will all see a remarkable improvement as I have. If I had owned more than one newly manufactured computer I could make relative judgments about each. About my new Asus N61VG hardware, all I can say is that I am happy…”
