But it can be pretty good. People shopping for a gaming laptop Laptop Battery usually fall into one of two groups. They either love gaming on their desktop so much that they don’t want to go without when they can’t be at home, or they need a laptop for portability but want to be able to game on it, since they can’t budget for a desktop as well. Since both of these groups are looking not to spend through the nose, we found a good gaming notebook from Asus for 1300 bucks: the G50VT-X6.
Like our other choices, the money goes a long way. We get a quick 2.53 Ghz CPU, 4GB of RAM, and dedicated 9800M GS graphics with 512MB of memory. That gets your 15.4” screen a WSXGA+ resolution of 1680x1050. The hard drive is a somewhat modest 320GB, but it spins at the 7.2k RPM usually seen on desktop drives. This is really a nice stack of hardware for the Apple Laptop Battery price.
The G50’s black and orange colour scheme may be out of place in the boardroom or even the coffee shop, but it does strike an obvious gaming chord. It’s hard not to feel at least a little excited by the mesh grill on the lid. It would look at home on the front end of an Aston Martin.
The G50 has the same port setup as the U6, but is obviously larger. Actually, at over 6lbs, it’s a even a little hefty by 15.4” standards, and a tight fit in a laptop bag meant for a normal 15.4 incher. Another weakness is that the G50’s speakers don’t do a good job, as though someone felt they could skimp here since many gamers will opt for headsets anyways. Battery life is poor, but there is only so much you can hope for given the graphics, CPU, and 7.2k drive. You can track down a 9-cell A1078 battery that will do some good, but that will run you another $150.
The battery life, size, speakers are easy to overlook when you remember how much hardware you are getting for $1300. Get a decent headset and the bigger battery and off you go for about $1500. If you need Blu-ray, you can go with the $1550 version of the G50VT, which also gets you a more efficient and slightly faster T9400 CPU.
Desktop Replacement
If you are going to get a notebook with a 17 inch screen: face it, you have already given up a lot of portability. You might as well get something that fills that size with some nice kit and can run some demanding software. The G70Sg-A3, at $2400, isn’t cheap, but replacing a desktop with something portable (somewhat) is no small feat. The main problem for some might not be the price A1079 battery or size, but the aggressive appearance.
The G- prefix denotes a gaming product, and while not as wild as the G50, the G70 does have some pretty blatant gamer lighting cues. Turn that off in the BIOS, and the brushed aluminum looks all-business, though the business might involve assassination. You’ll probably want to leave the included backpack at home as well - if you are on your way to the board meeting.
However, it’s what’s inside that M8244 battery counts, and the G70 delivers, which is why we made it our choice for Desktop Replacement despite the gaming pedigree. The T9500 CPU is one of the best out there. You start with 4GB of RAM, but you can toss those and drop in 4 GB modules if you want, for a workstationlike 8GB of RAM. The graphics here are really something else; the 9800M GTS with 1GB of RAM is pretty sharp even by gaming desktop standards. On a laptop, it’s an absolute beast, and will keep most of the newest games running smoothly at the 17.1 inch screen’s whopping 1920 x 1200 resolution. You get not one, but two 320GB, 7200 RPM drives, and Blu-Ray.
The ports are the same as the G50’s. It’s big and pricey, but has the performance to make most desktops run for their money. If you really don’t plan on going anywhere with your theoretically portable computer, and want a big screen to watch movies, Asus has a W90 line with 18.4” screens and 5.1 Dolby Audio. At over 11 lbs, one wonders whether they can be considered M8511 battery notebooks or portable home theatres
