Asus K Series Laptops
Published by LaptopsPoint, on Jun 05 2010, in the categories: Asus
I have been asked to review the Asus K series laptops. I do now own the Asus K series laptops right now, but I will review this series as soon as possible. 7 3.4Windows Experience for second4.9Memory (RAM) Memory operations per second5.5GraphicsDesktop performance for Windows Aero3.9Gaming graphics3D business and gaming graphics3.4Primary diskDisk hard data transfer rate5.7
The performance index of Windows 7 has been reviewed with the drivers and Optimus GMA 4500MHD supplied, so the scores for the graphics are pretty low.
You should not expect high performance of Asus UL50VT because of energy-saving processor and video card CULV low level. The GeForce G210M behaved discreetly in our tests, we won scores in terms of frames per second in all respect in many games. The level of detail and resolution were set to the minimum and then the qualitative aspect of the games was not the best, for example, Crysis seemed like Far Cry 1.
Less performance hungry games like Fifa 10 can run on these notebook even greater levels of detail while retaining the fluidity (50 fps at 1024x768 in our tests). For more information about the gaming performance, we recommend reading the article on performance G210M.
The G210M is significantly more powerful than the GMA 4500MHD integrated, as is obvious from the results of our tests. For example, the GMA 4500MHD can run Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 at only 16 frames per second, while the G210M arrives at 56 fps. With Optimus, the notebook can use the G210M immediately start a game.
When the notebook is idle - for example, while browsing without viewing video - the fan stays off and the only noise that comes from hard disk, there is 2.5 inch. If you use an SSD in place, there is no noise in this mode of use. However, the hard disk is generally quiet and the noise increases only when accessing data. The noise is very low. The following measurements were made at 15cm away from the laptop: the hard drive emits 31.5 dB and 32.6 dB at idle when accessing data. Therefore, the notebook is quiet enough to be used in quiet environments such as in a library. As soon as you start a HD video, the fan starts to spin. At the lower level, the fan is barely audible.
Under a heavy CPU load, the cooling system begins to be clearly distinguishable but not too disturbing. The noise is between 34 and 37 dB when running 3DMark06 and therefore are good values. The maximum noise is 40 dB to get it but you need to run simultaneously Furmark and Prime95 for long enough.
With processor CULV, the video sector energy saving and of course to Optimus, the UL50VF proves exceptionally quiet and then recommend the most sensitive to noise.
After several hours running Prime95 (to overload the processor) and Furmark, internal temperatures remained in the area of security. 74 ° C for the core CPU and 72 ° C for the G210M are harmless and much lower values of critical thresholds. This shows that the UL50VF is able to run 3DMark05 without any loss in performance, even after the stress test mentioned above.

Asus G71gx-rx05 Laptop
Published by LaptopsPoint, on Jun 05 2010, in the categories: Asus
I have been asked to write a review for an Asus G71GX-RX 05 laptop. Unfortunately, I do not own an Asus G71GX-RX 05 laptop at the moment, but I will review a similar Asus model. Because of the size 15.6 ", the keyboard has UL50VF dedicated numeric keypad.
The keys are relatively short hike and a user-friendly format. The space between two buttons is a few millimeters in a grid of 19x19 (mm) while the keys have a size of 16x16 mm. However, the area under the keyboard can be pushed inwards too easily, therefore, has a sense of instability as you type.
The power button of the notebook is on the right side above the keyboard. On the left hand, there is a switch that lets you change the video adapter. However, in the version of Optimus UL50V, this switch has no function. Laptop special keys can be accessed with the usual combination of "Fn" key with another key specifically assigned to a function on the keyboard.
The touchpad on this notebook from Asus Ultra Slim product is not located centrally, but always under the keyboard, we find him moved slightly to the left. The surface itself is also unique because it is covered by a series of small hills. These are used for two reasons: to help the user to distinguish from the polished surface surrounding the touchpad, to also give a better flow than the black lacquer used on the notebook.
However, the surface seemed mediocre compared to the touchpad on the road. Although marked by small hills, the touchpad is difficult to find without looking. We find a single bar beneath it, which hides the two mouse buttons. The button is easy to use although we noticed that the clicks are perceived only in the outer parts. This can cause you problems with a loss of time both in the movement of the pointer to click in the sensitive areas without any pressure.
The screen has 15 levels (the lowest produces 9.6 cd / m²) and, if the user desires, the backlight can be turned off completely by a special combination of "Fn + key". This allows the UL50VF to last longer. However, the model test that functions was not enabled by default but it had to enable it through the program Asus "Power4Gear Hyprid.
The screen has a contrast ratio of 145:1 on the brightness of 100 cd / m². It 'a fairly low and even at the highest brightness level is equivalent to 127:1. Such low values are due to the high values in black at every level of illumination. Because of this, the images appear very bright.
UL50VF Asus is equipped with a processor energy-saving Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 which runs at native frequency of 1.3 GHz can be increased. Asus proposes an UL50VF processor factory over clocked. It works in 1.73 GHz and found its performance in Cinebench R10 is equal to those of a Core 2 Duo P7350 2.0 GHz (like the Acer Aspire 5739G, for example).
WMV 1080p movie (Coral Reef Adventure) was started immediately on GMA leading to a high CPU utilization. In this case, use the GeForce would be the best choice.
DPC latencies are constantly disturbed by peaks that may ultimately lead to the flow of data between an external device (like a graphics card) and your notebook. However, these problems cease as soon as you turn off the WLAN and Speedstep (apart from some isolated case).

Asus G51j 3d Laptop

I have been asked to write a review on Asus G51J 3D laptop. Unfortunately, I do not own an Asus G51J 3D laptop at the moment, but I will present a review for a similar Asus model.
The UL50VF is the version to 15.6 "notebook with ASUS CULV technology and is equipped with NVIDIA" Optimus "which allows you to switch between the two video cards as needed. The notebook has a long list of positive features: large autonomy, Low noise and a low weight for a 15-inch notebook. You can find more information about how to behave UL50VF in our tests and what it has to offer, continuing to read our in-depth review.
Parts of this review are based on relative Asus UL50VT (gray and without Optimus) which is virtually identical Asus UL50VF. Most of the homes of theUL50VF are made of simple plastic. The aluminum finish of the cover screen certainly attracts attention and, conversely dell'UL50VT the UL50VF is completely black.
The design is simple and modern. Build quality and lacquering of houses are of good quality, despite the use of plastics, the house in the complex is of high quality. However, the shiny surfaces of the palm rest areas are subject to far too easy to spot due to fingerprints, which must be constantly cleaned.
The lower part of the case is made of black plastic and has a single removable cover. The hard disk 2.5 "and 2 x 2 GB DDR3 RAM modules are installed right under this cover. According to Asus, the notebook supports up to 4 GB of RAM, and the user can install any hard drives in typical size from 9.5 mm with SATA-II, should he wish to replace the one supplied.
Left side: input and output audio, 2x USB 2.0 ports, HDMI port, 5-in-1 card reader and power
Right Side: USB 2.0, DVD optical drive, LAN port, VGA interface, Kensington lock
Doors of the Asus UL50VT are well positioned on the sides of the notebook because of the lower hinge and slim design it. The placement of most of the doors on the left side is particularly advantageous for right-handed.
The technology of wireless communication of UL50VF has no flaws. Is used because WLAN adapters Atheros (AR9285), which supports 802.11n and also has integrated Bluetooth, which lets you, transfer data between your notebook and wireless devices.
Our "prototype" U.S. comes to us from Asus with two printed manuals (user manual and a brief introduction on UL50VF 24 pages), and a brochure on Express Gate Linux, which unfortunately does not work on model tests.
The package also includes a CD with drivers, the 64-bit version of Windows Recovery DVD 7 and PowerLink Power2 Go 6.0. In it we also find a band to keep up the cables.
According to the brochure on the warranty, UL50VF has 2 years international warranty, 1 year battery for 30 days and we also guarantee no dead pixels. The integrated VGA camera does not offer a good quality image but it is sufficient for normal video in well lit.

Asus Eee Pc Ultraportable Laptop
Published by LaptopsPoint, on Jun 04 2010, in the categories: Asus
I have been asked to offer information on where to find an Asus EEE PC ultraportable laptop. You can find Asus EEE PC ultraportable laptop computers on laptopsdirect.co.uk or laptopmag.com. Here is some information on how an Asus laptop functions. Now you might think that the noise of the system has been achieved at the expense of cooling. Wrong - in fact the G73 will be pleasantly cool in both idle and under heavy usage.
At rest, in fact, the surface temperature does not exceed 30.1 ° C and under heavy use the top of the laptop reaches a maximum of 33.8 ° C, which is also an excellent temperature. Only the bottom of the notebook heats up a bit ', to 37.1 ° C. The rest of the palm rest heats up only to 24.2 ° C, making it almost impossible to feel too much heat on your hands when at rest.
In our test longer, we put the CPU and GPU at peak load for several hours (using Prime and Furmark), we have nothing unusual to report. The components whose temperatures can be measured, we found always at a safe level.
Most portable speakers are an insult to the ears, but the G73 is able to offer sound quality above average. The subwoofer, placed below the base unit, provides a full bass sound in particular games, which means you'll never miss the "boom" during the gunfire and explosions, although it may sound a bit 'too cavernous. Even movies are fun to do with the integrated audio system, even if the items can be a bit 'flat and empty. You may notice when playing music that is not 100% accurate. But the maximum volume provides a multimedia sound balanced even if you sit away from the notebook.
The G73 earns bonus points for supporting two systems developed by Creative's audio experts. 4.0 EAX (Environmental Audio Extensions) allows you to enjoy enhanced sound effects in some games. The background noise is balanced in every situation, to create more realistic effects possible. If you want to enjoy EAX to its full potential, try Thief 3. When the thief Garrett creeps through the church Hammer, for example, background noise are real mystery, creating cinema experience you will never forget so soon. In addition, the G73 supports a technology called CMSS-3D. This can produce a round effect from a stereo sound, bringing the perception of background noise to a whole new experience, especially with the stereo headphones. All in all, Asus provides experience with the G73 sound convincing, and not have to necessarily use an external audio system.
The lithium ion battery with 75 Wh test actually maintain the independence of the G73 at a level acceptable, despite its energy components eaters. And we find it very well, at least in the reading test Battery Eater Readers, which turns with the minimum screen brightness and power management settings to maximum. With 2 hours and 39 minutes of runtime, you can use a fair amount of time away from a power source. If we increase the brightness to maximum and wireless web browsing via a medium level of power saving options enabled, the range drops to 1 hour and 58 minutes, which is still acceptable.

I have been asked to offer information on where to find an Asus EEE PC laptop. You can find Asus EEE PC laptop computers on laptopsdirect.co.uk, laptopmag.com or geeks.com. On nextag.com you can compare the prices and buy an Asus model for a cheaper price. Index of performance for Windows 7, the graphics card is different from the rest with two values of 7,2. The processor is following with 6.7 points, showing slightly undersized for the job. The RAM and hard drive are up the rear with a score of 5.9 acceptable.

A total capacity of 640 GB is guaranteed by two Hitachi 320 GB hard drive. Asus has decided to do it without RAID. But he decided to divide the two hard disks into four partitions total. This approach could work for system disks, but most users would prefer that at least the second hard drive was left unpartitioned.
The transfer rate is very high for a HDD, with 70.7 to 72.9 MB / s (even if SSDs reach about twice). Performance in applications is very good. The Core i5-520m delivers more than enough for everyday use, even when it comes to heavy multi-tasking, high-resolution video content and so on. Graphics-intensive applications are better handled by the Radeon HD 5870 rather than the GeForce GTX 280M.
To bring the benchmark game as similar to reality, have made all the native screen resolution, 1600 x 900. Furthermore, the integrated feature "Twin Turbo", which pushes the processor speed to over 3 GHz, was always on.
The first-person shooter FEAR 2 horror shot extremely well on ATI. With 4 x AA and high settings we achieved an excellent refresh rate of 76 fps. It 's a bit uncertain from time to time, but this can be attributed to the processes of energy saving.
Modern Warfare 2 is not market a long time, so it is particularly ruinous in terms of hardware when it is set to maximum detail and 4 x AA. However, at 55.4 fps, the Asus G73 has nothing to be ashamed of, and conversely, the gaming experience was really smooth.
The last title of the Battlefield series is selling very well despite the many technical problems. With high detail, 4 x AA and 8 x AF, Bad Company 2 runs at 37.3 fps relatively smooth, except for occasional performance problems. If you disable anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering, you get an even more fluid with 45.7 fps.
As you can see from the graphics performance, the frame refresh rate fluctuates much in Year 1404. This happens because of the different layers of graphics that are needed for the various zoom settings. However, with details set to very high and 4 x AA, you can enjoy pleasant evenings of strategy and city building with a refresh rate of 57.7 fps.
Need for Speed Shift goes to great if you have the right hardware. With the G73 you can enjoy the supercar to 43 fps with high settings and with 4 x AA. It reached 49.4 fps disabling anti-aliasing.

Asus Factory Laptops Australia
Published by LaptopsPoint, on Jun 04 2010, in the categories: Asus
I have been asked to offer information on where you can find Asus factory laptops Australia. You can find Asus factory laptops Australia on laptopsdirect.co.uk or geeks.com. Here is some information on how an Asus laptop works. Allows the processor to run an over clocked from 2.4 to 2.93 GHz Turbo Boost But technology can only work if supported by a good cooling system, since this kind of splashing can over clock the CPU temperature up to 100 ° C.
The processor has a 45nm production process, and comes equipped with 512 KB of L2 cache, and 3MB L3 cache. Its energy consumption (35 watts) is above average, but the quad core intel i7 reaching the range 45-55 watts. Another feature of the i5 Core is its integrated graphics from 32nm, the GMA HD. But in terms of performance, GMA-HD is a small card, about the same level as HD 4200.
But who needs a GMA HD when available, has the extremely powerful ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 under the hood of the G73? As we saw in our review of Deviltech Devil 9700 DTX, the Radeon HD 5870 graphics card is the fastest single chip currently available. It can provide power for today's applications, as well as his future with support for DirectX 11. The 128-bit memory interface may be slightly reduced, but the problem is compensated by the speed of the HD 5870 GDDR5. With 800 unified shaders, the card can theoretically achieve a computing power of 1.12 TFLOPS. The number of transistors is awesome, are well 1.04 billion. The core speed is 700 MHz and 1024 MB of memory all have a frequency of 1000 MHz.
However, comparing those specifications with the desktop versions of the cards belonging to the series HD 5000, Mobility Radeon HD 5870 is positioned below the HD 5770. So while the world of laptops this is the most powerful graphics card, is placed just above the average in relation to desktop machines. Other features worth mentioning are its HDMI audio output to eight channels and its Avivo HD technology (UVD2), which takes care of part of the CPU when rendering high-resolution video material. Finally, the energy consumption of the card is very high, up to 60 watts: This makes us think of a reduced autonomy.
Information System for the Asus G73JH-TY042V
The Core i5-520m is expected to reach extremely high scores with the test Cinebench R10 (64 bit). The dual-core processor has reached 3957 points in single-chip tests for rendering, and 8162 points in multi-core rendering. The popular quad-core Intel Core i7-720QM is slightly slower in rendering a single chip with 2690 points, but falls significantly below multi-rendering with 10073 points.
In 3DMark we were interested in particular the comparison with the same end Nvidia card (which, however, only supports DirectX 10), the GeForce GTX 280M. In the 3DMark05 test, the Radeon HD 5870 has reached 18,396 points, a little 'less of the GeForce GTX 280M with its 18,414 points. The 3DMark06 results are similar - while the HD 5870 has reached 12,356 points, the GTX 280M earns 12,569 points. But the latest version of 3DMark, the 3DMark Vantage, the parties have been reversed by the HD 5870 which has command in scores for GPU (where what really counts is the pure graphics power), with 7519 to 6328.
The processor has a 45nm production process, and comes equipped with 512 KB of L2 cache, and 3MB L3 cache. Its energy consumption (35 watts) is above average, but the quad core intel i7 reaching the range 45-55 watts. Another feature of the i5 Core is its integrated graphics from 32nm, the GMA HD. But in terms of performance, GMA-HD is a small card, about the same level as HD 4200.
But who needs a GMA HD when available, has the extremely powerful ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 under the hood of the G73? As we saw in our review of Deviltech Devil 9700 DTX, the Radeon HD 5870 graphics card is the fastest single chip currently available. It can provide power for today's applications, as well as his future with support for DirectX 11. The 128-bit memory interface may be slightly reduced, but the problem is compensated by the speed of the HD 5870 GDDR5. With 800 unified shaders, the card can theoretically achieve a computing power of 1.12 TFLOPS. The number of transistors is awesome, are well 1.04 billion. The core speed is 700 MHz and 1024 MB of memory all have a frequency of 1000 MHz.
However, comparing those specifications with the desktop versions of the cards belonging to the series HD 5000, Mobility Radeon HD 5870 is positioned below the HD 5770. So while the world of laptops this is the most powerful graphics card, is placed just above the average in relation to desktop machines. Other features worth mentioning are its HDMI audio output to eight channels and its Avivo HD technology (UVD2), which takes care of part of the CPU when rendering high-resolution video material. Finally, the energy consumption of the card is very high, up to 60 watts: This makes us think of a reduced autonomy.
Information System for the Asus G73JH-TY042V
The Core i5-520m is expected to reach extremely high scores with the test Cinebench R10 (64 bit). The dual-core processor has reached 3957 points in single-chip tests for rendering, and 8162 points in multi-core rendering. The popular quad-core Intel Core i7-720QM is slightly slower in rendering a single chip with 2690 points, but falls significantly below multi-rendering with 10073 points.
In 3DMark we were interested in particular the comparison with the same end Nvidia card (which, however, only supports DirectX 10), the GeForce GTX 280M. In the 3DMark05 test, the Radeon HD 5870 has reached 18,396 points, a little 'less of the GeForce GTX 280M with its 18,414 points. The 3DMark06 results are similar - while the HD 5870 has reached 12,356 points, the GTX 280M earns 12,569 points.

G72ax Asus Laptop

I have been asked to write an article on G72AX Asus laptop computers. You can find G72AX Asus laptop computers on laptopmag.com and geeks.com. You can compare prices on nextag.com until you find the right price for you. No graphic card laptop has never reached more than 35 fps with high details RPG Risen set and 4 x AF. And the Asus G73 is no exception, reaching 34.4, fps. However, because the third-person RPG is fluid at about 30 fps, no need to reduce the detail settings or exclude some graphical improvements.
This will take time before any game can oust Crysis from his throne, with the exception of his entourage, his remains unsurpassed graphics, no other candidate in sight. The Radeon HD 5870, Crysis can be played with high settings at a very playable 34 fps (benchmark integrated GPU). If you increase the details at higher settings, the performance begins to decline significantly, and the game suffers to 20.4 fps. Despite this, the HD 5870 is one of the few graphics cards that can guarantee Crysis playable at high resolutions and settings.
This game is visually appealing the first to exploit the full potential of DirectX 11. You can compete successfully on race tracks at a refresh rate of 31 fps with settings very high and 4 x AA. With high settings, Dirt 2 runs more smoothly at 37 fps.
Rarely have similar gaming performance ever seen on a notebook that sells for less than € 1400. ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 can run smoothly all the games we tested its native resolution of 1600 x 900 with high detail settings and often with additional graphic improvements (AA and AF). Until the minimum of the next generation of games will be similar to these, the G73 will provide a solid platform game that will not be overtaken by technological developments for at least another two years. This until the games requires the quad-core processors to run.
The portable gaming systems are known for their relatively noisy. But in this, the Asus G73 is a pleasant surprise. Idle, the laptop is only moderately audible with 32.8 to 33.5 dB (A). The DVD is not much louder during playback, with 34.9 dB (A). If the stress on the system increases (for games, for example), the noise level increases slightly up to 34.6 dB (A). Only when subjected to intensive use, what you do not usually, the G73 at a level clearly audible, but still acceptable, of 38.1 dB (A).
The sound of the fan has a nice quality, after all the noise of the G73 is exemplary, and you can barely hear it when playing music, games or movies. This is even more surprising since the Radeon HD 5870 we should expect higher temperatures with a consequent increase of fan rotation and then more noise and this has happened, for example, in our review of Deviltech Devil 9700 DTX. This new type of cooling system that Asus has used the G73 is a true success.

Asus Laptop Warranty Plan
Published by LaptopsPoint, on Jun 02 2010, in the categories: Asus
I have been asked to write an article on Asus laptop warranty plan. You can create an Asus laptop warranty plan with an Asus specialist or a retailer. Here is a review for an Asus laptop computer.
The touchpad black just stands out from the surrounding area in terms of color and only a slight difference from the rest by the wrists aware of her presence. However, its smooth surfaces ensure a good sliding finger on it. The best thing is his extremely generous size, allowing to cover long distances on the screen without the mouse sensitivity set on high. On the other hand, we liked the two buttons on the touchpad - combined into a single long bar. The tactile feedback is poor and ill-defined and as a result of this, the keys do not return an audible feedback damn necessary.
The 17.3-inch screen provides plenty of room to surf the internet, and movies and games in particular. But we can only express our disbelief for the resolution of 1600 x 900. To begin with makes it look slightly grainy images.
Furthermore, the Radeon HD 5870 is currently one of the few that can justify the resolution of 1920 x 1080 to run the most demanding games in FullHD. When you turn on your notebook you can see immediately how it is bright. With an average brightness of 230.1 cd / m², is much brighter than most competitors. The average laptop is between 160 and 200 cd / m². The brightness is uniform to 91%. But during the course of our gaming benchmarks a number of problems have arisen. While we were testing the first-person shooter FEAR 2, dark areas were dark gray rather than black, because black level relatively high with 1.27 cd / m². The contrast ratio of 190:1 is very low. However, the vivid colors help in some way to overcome the problem.
The screen brightness with battery power remained constant, however the G73 is not suitable for outdoor use, the screen is very bright and very strong reflections affected by disturbing, obscuring almost everything on the screen. Reflections are annoying also closed. But since all gaming notebook (except Clevo Barebones) are only available with glossy screens, users must make do with what they find available.
Even the view from all angles proved very modest. In particular in the vertical direction, even the smallest deviation from the ideal is enough to distort the brightness and colors. The behavior is somewhat better in terms of horizontal, but you will still remain quite central to the G73.
Asus has opted for an Intel dual-core Core i5-520m. If you're wondering why the Core i5-520m appears as a quad-core processor in the task manager window - hyperthreading technology simulates two virtual cores alongside two reals. The ability to process four processes simultaneously incurs no performance improvement in video games, although some applications may benefit them greatly. Greater impact for the players is the Turbo Boost.

How To Use Dialup On Asus Laptop
Published by LaptopsPoint, on Jun 02 2010, in the categories: Asus
I have been asked to how to use Dial Up on Asus laptop. If you are wondering how to use Dial Up on Asus laptop, then you should consult a specialist at a retail store or read the manual. In terms of strength there is not much room for criticism of the G73. Both upper and lower sides are subject to little pressure, except for the keyboard.
Similarly, the body has excellent resistance to twisting and there's a slight distortion to the images of the screen only applying direct pressure on it. The hinges are very large and offer a corner opening limited (very suitable for tall people). The hinges keep the screen still in place, and the base unit just moves when you adjust the viewing angle.
Speaking of doors there are two opposing philosophies. You can put the most important ports in the rear of the car, leaving space on both sides of the laptop (to use a mouse, for example), but somehow limited portability because they connect and disconnect all ports every time a job is impractical. Or you can place the majority of the doors on the sides of the machine, which makes them more accessible but it does mean that all cables can injure.
Asus has chosen the second option in G73 not only because the batteries and fans occupy much space in the back. The rear edge has no doors except the slot for a Kensington lock and a single door (closed) to an external antenna. On the left side, near the back, there is a network port and a USB 2.0 port. Near find your optical drive (a DVD) and an additional USB port. Near the front of the machine there are two audio ports (headphone / line out, microphone / line), where it is always better to put the subject of debate.
The front side of the notebook has no doors, instead of hosting various status LEDs. Moving on the right side, third space (the one at the front) is left completely bare, followed by a card reader, two more USB ports (for a total of four) and an HDMI port for connecting to an external monitor. In the back there is the now historic VGA port and socket for power.
When you have many cables connected to these ports, it can impede the pace both right handers. Also, when you open the DVD drive can easily collide with the cables, which is very annoying after a while 'time. At the same time we found the selection of doors more than disappointing, as you may have noticed, there is an ExpressCard slot, even as a mail eSATA or Firewire. We expected to find in a laptop from 1400 €, because by now have become a standard in gaming notebooks. Nothing to complain in wireless connectivity, the G73 has a WLAN (b / g / N) and Bluetooth (2.0).
Asus ventures into new territory in many respects with the G73, but unfortunately things have remained unchanged for the preinstalled programs. The system is fully in all respects of unnecessary programs, which often shows its presence with the annoying popups. This makes the system somewhat constrained when it is delivered, and requires an unusually long time to boot. After removing the dead weight, are a couple of useful programs that can be defined.

How To Replace Motherboard On Asus 83h Laptop
Published by LaptopsPoint, on Jun 02 2010, in the categories: Asus
I have been asked to write an article on how to replace motherboard on Asus 83h laptop. If you are wondering how to replace motherboard on Asus 83h laptop, you can check with a specialist at a retail shop.
Asus is marking a new beginning with G73, a new design, matte surfaces, an improved cooling system and a graphics card that supports DirectX 11 (HD 5870) are the salient features of this 17.3 "gaming. We tested this machine from 1400 € in our review.
The choice of models G73 is still very limited at present. In fact G73JH-TY042V we tested is the only model currently available in the German part of Europe. One can think of G73JH TY042V-as the base model of the G73 line, for this reason: the processor is only a 520m-core i5 a dual-core processor for mainstream. Can provide reasonable performance, but we would appreciate more a Core i7, also given the estimated price of 1400 € and very high-end graphics card, an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870. The model is equipped with 4 GB of DDR3 RAM, hard drives for a total capacity of 640GB (2 x 320GB), HD + and a screen with a resolution of 1600x900 pixels.
In particular if we look at what is available abroad, we can not but think that Asus is charging more than the prices of European users. Outside Europe, you could take the model G73JH-A2 better equipped with a Core i7-720QM, 8GB RAM, 1000GB hard drives (2 x 500GB), a FullHD display, carrying case and mouse for about 1550 $, which translates into about € 1150. Or to put it another way: European users are asked to pay more in exchange for lower and much less in terms of hardware equipment.
Thus, those who are accustomed to these things (or those who are happy to experiment) may consider importing the car. taking into account taxes and shipping costs, you'd end up paying a price similar to the model available here, but you get more performance for the same money.
The design of the G73 is based in part, according to Asus, the Nighthawk Lockheed F-117 stealth bomber. The result is a truly unique appearance with a futuristic feeling evoked by its aerodynamic front and unusual features such as air vents in the rear. You also have the feeling that Asus has borrowed some elements from the line Alienware gaming notebook (M11x, m15x and m17x). But all in all, Asus has shown enough originality to stand out from the competition in a positive way.
The "stealth bomber" Asus G73
To be honest, what we really like are even more opaque areas of design. Where previous portable gaming as the Asus G71 and G72 using shiny surfaces (making them more vulnerable to scratches and dirt), the emphasis now seems to feature every day. Matt surfaces are very resistant to fingerprints, and are pleasant to the touch and slightly rubberized coating. While the G73 card might seem a bit 'bulky, measuring 420 x 315 mm, dimensions are cleverly disguised by the design of sloping sides, with the height reduced by 19mm G73 with only the front side (57mm at the rear ). With an acceptable weight of 3.85 kg, the G73 can easily be transported, although the body produces sound annoying.
