Digital Home Thoughts: ASUS G51J Provides Powerful Gaming On The Go

"One of the companies that is looking to serve up a number of new Win7-based rigs is Asus, and without a doubt they have assembled an interesting and compelling offering in their G51J-A1 notebook. Hitting the sweet spot between the average-sized 15" machine and the full-on desktop replacement, the refreshed G51 maintains the 15" form factor yet packs enough horsepower to plow through even the latest game titles."

It was no surprise when some manufacturers started coming out with Core i7 laptops. What is nice about the latest one from ASUS is that they squeezed it into a 15.6" screen sized format, instead of the 17"+ behemoths. Some compromises were made, but at 7.2 pounds, it no longer feels like you're carrying half the internets with you. HotHardware doles out the details on this aspiring gaming rig, and they like what they see with only a few reservations. I for one think that it all might be worth it just to see eight logical processors listed on a laptop this size!
