- Review: Asus G74SX - TechRadar
If you're after a machine to play Battlefield 3, Skyrim and Modern Warfare 3, look no further. The Asus G74S is a mammoth gaming laptop, which has the power to play all the latest titles, and while you might not get as much for your money when compared with full form desktops, it's up there with the best. Buying a gaming laptop offers fantastic pay offs in terms of space and portability. If you don't have room for a hulking desktop system, or like to have the option of taking your laptop away from your home, the Asus G74S is perfect. The G74S is a whopping 17.3" and features a full HD screen, which makes games look great. The screen is matte, so no pesky reflections will ruin your experience. While this technology takes the life out of images, the full 1920 x 1080 resolution keeps things looking great, and is just as adept at playing movies too. Bright and beautiful The panel is stunningly bright ? great for gaming in dark rooms, and it's also 3D-enabled, using Nvidia's 3D Vision active-shutter technology. This means the panel has super-swift refresh rates, which makes day-to-day tasks feel snappier too. It's one of the slickest integrations of 3D tech we've seen, and with the receiver built into the body of the G74S, there was no fuss getting it working. All the content we tried looked fantastic. To play the latest games you need the latest technology, and a top-of-the-range mobile Intel Core i7 2630QM processor is included here, which aced our lab tests. It's up there with the biggest and baddest systems, and is the same chip found in the more famous Alienware M18x. Anyone who makes a large gaming laptop will immediately be compared with the Alienware, but we think that the Asus is more than a match for its extra-terrestrial rival. There's 8GB of RAM, which is double that found on the stingy M18x. TechRadar LabsBattery Eater '05: 86 minutesCinebench: 169143DMark 2006: 15270The hard drive is also a whopping 1.5TB (that's 1500GB) which, in today's terms, means almost unlimited space. The Alienware M18x ships with just 250GB, which gives you an idea of the great value offered by the G74S over its competitors. What's more, there's also a Blu-ray drive to boot, so you can play the latest movies in high-definition. At 4.6kg, you can get some idea of the build quality of the Asus G74S. It weighs the same as four Toshiba Ultrabooks, and is as solid as any laptop you'll find. Looks are uninspiring, and there's no keyboard back lighting, or flashy extras, but that's no great loss. The Asus G74S is a fantastic, power-packed gaming machine, which will also appeal to movie lovers looking for a desktop-replacement system too. The screen and built-in 3D, as well as the colossal storage, make it good value buy, in spite of the high price.
