| Asus G53SX |
In August, we tested the
Asus G53SX. He fell almost five stars, mainly due to the lack of a Blu-ray and a Full HD panel. Since then, a new model
Asus G53SX-S1158V, was released by adding these two components.
Asus G53SX proves that you don't need to spend a ton of money to get a decent gaming machine--if you don't mind toting around an 8-pound monster. The G53SX is the perfect desktop-replacement-size all-purpose machine for gamers: it packs excellent performance in an enormous case, and is just portable enough for you to carry with you to your local LAN party.
Our review model, priced at $1250 (as of November 9, 2011), came packed with a second-gen Intel Core i7-2630QM processor, 12GB of RAM (upgradable to 16GB), a 750GB hard drive, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 560M graphics card with 2GB of video memory. This hulking machine also features built-in Wi-Fi, built-in Bluetooth, a full-HD (1920-by-1080-pixel) display, and the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium.
