I have believed that one of the <strong>best gaming laptops</strong> is the Lenovo IdeaPad Y460, a 14 inch portable unit that comes with the necessary specs to provide you with an excellent gaming experience.

Another excellent laptop designed especially for gaming purposes is the Asus G73JH-A1. This model is a bit more pricy since you have to pay $1699 in order to get one. Even if it is more expensive, it comes with the latest 1.6 GHz Intel Core i7 720QM processor combined with 8 GB of DDR3 in order to bring the necessary power not only in terms of speed but also in terms of multitasking capacities. The graphics card integrated on this system is the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 that has 1 GB of video memory. As far as storage capacity is concerned, this laptop has a 500 GB hard drive and if you want to know more about the operating system, this laptop includes the 64 bit version of the Windows 7 Home Premium.



The dimensions of this laptop are 18.4 x 12.5 x 2.2 inches while the total weight of the system is 9.8 pounds. With a 17.3 inch display, this laptop fits just right into the desktop replacement category. And speaking of display, the 17.3 inch display of this Asus laptop has a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. the final chapter, the one about ports and connections, left us satisfied, the unit of this Asus gaming laptop is host to 4 USB ports, one multi format digital media card reader, a VGA out, one HDMI port, an Ethernet port and the regular headphones out and microphone in jacks.

<p>For this <strong>Asus notebook review</strong> we have chosen the Asus G73JH-RBBX05, a 17.3 inches desktop replacement. The price of the unit reviewed is around $1200 but we can assure you that this laptop comes with decent specs.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

The unit runs on a 1.6 GHZ Intel Core i7 720QM and 6 GB of DDR3 RAM. The total storage capacity of the hard drive is limited to 500 GB while the graphics card is the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 with 1 GB of video card. The dimensions of this unit are 18.4 x 12.4 x 2.2 inches and a total weight of 9.8 pounds including the power adapter. The unit comes with the 64 bit version of the Windows 7 Home Premium operating system. With the total dimensions and the overall weight of this system, it is clear that this notebook is not the best travel companion.

With a black matte lid and a keyboard with a rubber texture, this notebook has a drop of style and is a little lit elegant. Ok, it may not be the best looking notebook on the market but when it comes to a 17 inch desktop replacement, there is a good chance you won’t be taking it out of the house every day to brag about its looks. The silver Asus logo is located on the lid together with the Republic of Gravers emblem engraved below it.

No <strong>Asus notebook review</strong> would be complete without giving details about the display. The 17.3 inch panel is covered in a glossy coating which makes colors shaper and more vibrating. The native resolution of this widescreen display is 1600 x 900 pixels. However, there are 17 inch laptops which are part of the same category as this model and they come with 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution which is a great improvement. Thanks to the back light of this LCD, colors are great and the levels of contrast are also above average.

The horizontal viewing angles are great so movie watching with friends in not going to be a problem. Let us look into the matter of ports and connections as this is very important on a 17 inch desktop replacement. The Asus G73JH-RBBX05 is host to 4 USB ports, one multi format digital media card reader, an Ethernet port, a VGA out, a HDMI port and the regular headphones out and microphone in jacks. There is not FireWire port and no Express Card slot. We like the included HDMI, but without an included Blu-ray optical drive, it seems quite worthless.



Running the severe battery drain test that includes continuous video playback, you are bound to get about 1 hours and 30 minutes of battery life, which is quite expected considering that we are dealing with a huge laptop that comes with a powerful processor and also a demanding video card. Even so, the Asus G73JH-RBBX05 is a great investment in terms of a good desktop replacement and even a gaming laptop as the video card seems capable of handling the pressure.
