Asus G71GX-7T007J

Purchase

First a word about the supplier. This laptop I purchased through Azerty. When I ordered it, it was pretty clear when he would come on the market. First there was 14 days, when it was suddenly undetermined. I then got the options to cancel my order to replace it with a similar product or to wait. I myself have chosen to wait. I have not worked for nothing this summer to buy a good laptop it on :)after much back and forth jumping up to the date of availability on their website, he seemed suddenly to have to get ready. The laptop I ordered on August 10, 2009 and was available on August 28, 2009. In itself, the wait was very cooperative, especially after the uncertainty of when he would be effective. There I take the blame now nothing about the delivery time. After some searching on the Internet appeared to be which Asus was responsible. Across a global problem I have the laptop in the collection center in Raalte pick some up. Because I would not like it if I would return home after notice that something was not working, I asked if I could start it. The spot This was no problem for them. However, there is quite some stuff in the box (more on that later) and as a result I took a waiting chair in batter with all the material + one piece floor. Moreover, I had used a summer action for a portable speaker and it did I also received. Summary: I am satisfied with Azerty and the state of affairs. Pre-purchase Before I really start the review, I also want to briefly summarizes the specs and quirks mention my previous laptop, so you as a reader know what was the impact of the move for me. My previous laptop was an Acer Aspire 1804WSMi. It was a Pentium 4 3.2GHz with HT Technology; originally 512MB RAM but upgraded to 1.25 GB RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon X600 128 MB VRAM, 17 "display with native resolution of 1440 x 900, 100 GB HDD, Belgian Azerty keyboard . Nutrition was a large block. Battery was barely 1 hours. Cooling of this laptop somewhere early in his first life start making a lot of noise. Personally, I was just there to become, but all the other people who heard it fell immediately. A good half year, the screen it simply fail. After this, he for some magical reason, again naturally begin working without repairs ... very strange. Unboxing I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the big box. Here and there I had already read on the internet that extra bijzaten, but it turned out that this could vary by provider. So I was not quite sure whether mouse, headphones and carrying case would sit there. Effective in Do so. Next to your laptop, you get a Razer Copperhead laser mouse with blue LEDs, a SteelSeries Siberia Full-Size Headset and a 17 "laptop backpack (presumably Targus, but still can not be found in or on the bag). All of very good quality. You can call them perhaps collector items since each item the logo of Republic of Gamers State, and thus it is not in the normal individual siblings. Besides the extras is therefore the most important piece, the laptop itself. This box was also a LCD Cleaning Cloth and Wire found. Strip back The Wire Strip I used to hold. My mouse cable together There's a lot to long wire to the mouse for use with a laptop Snack I'm not all technical details are discussed, which can you find yourself. detailed if it would seem that maybe I'm too negative, ie the things I do not treat ok. The really good things I have mentioned. Touch raw material out of the keyboard, the rest part of the hands and the bottom, everything from a shiny material. The big disadvantage is that fingerprints are visible on his. The piece with the touch buttons above the keyboard is even a glass slide. If you want to keep it shiny laptop you will not be able to do than brushing, brushing, brushing otherwise. Fortunately, you have the included cleaning cloth The keyboard feels a bit playfully. I personally do not think this bad since it is a gaming laptop. For something else to do than play games, I have to admit that it's getting used. I can not describe it well, but it feels different. The bottom of the laptop seems to be built up as the keyboard. from the same material What is not such a smart choice. If you lift the laptop you would not say in your hands have such a powerful animal. It feels too much like plastic toys. The material is good for the keyboard, but less convincing for the bottom. What I personally find it extremely well is the resting piece for the hands. This design is sublime. I do not know what material it is made, but it is a pleasant place to rest. On your hands Really suitable for long hours of gaming (and of course also work ). As I had already read it continuously cool (except in one case, refer to the energy component). Connectors In addition to the connectors on the rear side ports are all closed when you move the laptop. In itself it is not so handy quick dust and the like can come. Connections in the magnetic flaps on the USB ports are a problem for me since I always keep my nails very short. Luckily I usually have something with me to bring them to open. Graphically The screen is very sharp and clear. Personally, I have a great dislike to that high brightness of laptops because they ensure that colors display not be faithfully and so on another monitor can be. Completely different on a 1920 x 1200 resolution is all a huge lot smaller when you 1440 x 900 was just. Personally, I'm pretty to work when I am in good form, giving 1920 x 1200 for me something is too small in this case. Reasonable saggy Other DPI or resolution did not really provide a good solution, so I'm forced to sit just right, so that resolution is acceptable. I was just to use the laptop screen in almost a 90 degree angle with the base but on this laptop it gives the problem that you get at the bottom of the screen discoloration due to the viewing angle. Therefore, I am forced to the screen so a little more tilt of 90 degrees. Fortunately this screen remains on the point that you let him, which was not the case with my other laptop. As you notice the above symptoms are simply a result of my incorrect posture behind a laptop, but the viewing angle is therefore a problem . to other people 's "toughest" games from my library of games that I have played on this laptop are STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl and The Witcher Enhanced Edition. All graphic details at the very top at a resolution of 1920 x 1200 is virtually error for the graphics card. Both games continue to run nice and smooth. Though there is an exception. However, this is an issue which I was aware before purchasing. For an unclear reason, it can happen that suddenly plunges the framerate of the video card, the depth and serious games are unplayable. In about 4 weeks I have the laptop now, I've already had three times. Asus has the problem may stem largely all but the risk is there so still. The first 2 times I it meant, I did not want to restart the laptop again and I played Unreal Tournament (UT ordinary, without addition). This game is still turned smoothly in spite of that the problem of the card was present. The third time I rebooted the laptop and the problem was gone again. Fortunately, I can say that this problem always occurred to me at the start of a game and not playing at. In The Witcher, I've also been playing long periods without running. Against the problem a lot myself can safely live with it, but I can imagine that Laners not really sit waiting in big games ... Audio The audio sounds to be decent for a laptop but I think it is a bit disappointing. It sounds all to my taste a little too sharp. You may have set the built-in Dolby Home Theatre bass relocated to its max, but listening after a while you notice that it does not appear natural, and you begin to work. Whatever I do not get is why they are 4 speakers and a subwoofer (although not really seen sitting, but he should be there) have stopped. thing in the You might think you are that way with a 5.1 (or something like that, middle present but could not be faked) arrangement would be, but in all the menus you can select only stereo. Consequence: produce boxes at the top and front laptop same sound. I find very unfortunate. Before I purchased this laptop I had a Sound Blaster X-Fi Go! purchased. This sublime work on this laptop, and especially in combination with the supplied headphones. Maybe that's why I'm on the quality of the sound produced by this thing. Spoiled Energy This laptop is a desktop replacement, so do not expect your battery to hold out long. Personally, I did not expect anything else. I want a portable powerhouse, no portable trifle. In normal mode, the battery may be about 1 hour and 12 minutes to survive in power saving mode, you get there in fifteen minutes, so it will be about 1 hour and 27 minutes. If you are running on battery power, the portion to the right of the touchpad (ie above the battery) warm. And oddly enough, this is not the case while charging the battery. The power block is pretty solid for today's standards, but he is slightly smaller than that of my older laptop. The power did have liked a little longer. Cooling When you consider everything that is in this laptop and the outlet for the cooling approximately 1/4 of the back, then you could expect that the cooling will not expire. peep You can hear the cooling run and if you require a lot of power from the laptop so it will be Miss louder. Some people may disturb to this, but for me personally it is still quieter than my old laptop which was normally used to cool the top (keyboard and neighbors) is never called. Even if you feel the back of a hot air stream, the top stays at a nice temperature. I think this is in itself a great achievement. In my previous laptop, you could easily discover top of the heat which the components were. Asus Exclusives This laptop comes equipped with a number of lights to indicate.'s a "tougher" appearance They fit in itself is good with the rest of the look. It's a nice gimmick, but personally assist me the lights off which can stand out. When I folded the laptop in standby for me I lie, I cover the pulse flashing lights in the middle of the back of the screen because they annoy me. The only practical use that the lights could make to the side of the screen is irritating the person on the other side of the table I personally found the LED display the best gimmick that had the laptop. Here you could find so CPU load, RAM usage, etc. appear while you were gaming. On Great was the disappointment when I realized after a half hour that this version of the G series had just gone NOT. At first I thought it was not turned on by default, but apparently Asus has decided to let the thing. Out Direct Console has become pathetic. I can imagine me what the point of it was, but now no more. It is used for the setting of the LED display and the lamps. First, since the LED display is missing you can go there, so anything with. Second, the interactive settings for the lights do not seem to work. The side lights on the screen you could blink, a fan speed, but they seem to me than ever blinking. At the same pace The lights on the front of the laptop you would color be able to flash alternately on the basis of the sound, but they remain continuously illuminated in one color. The only benefit that it brings to me is a way to unnecessary lights off switch, but that is the only thing you could ... in fact with the energy program appears not to which he would have to do a job: overclocking. From what I've read on the internet this is due to an update, but since I had stood when purchasing the latest updates already on my laptop, I can not overclock. ExpressGate You have a key down on your laptop that you ExpressGate can activate. This is an environment in which you can do without having to boot Windows. Limited number of cases These things are browsing, music playback, Skype, Instant Messaging, view pictures and play online games. Express Gate is practical if you really want to do something quickly but otherwise I do not recommend really. Currently it takes to start up my laptop, but a few seconds longer than the boot Express Gate. The resolution is much lower than within those environments you Windows environment, without a possibility to customize it. Personally, I thought this area would consume less energy, but it appears that it consumes as much as Windows. The main drawback of this environment is the shortcut to your touch buttons. I still have not found a way to turn it off. The reason I want to disable it because it stays on continuously. If your battery is in your laptop will thus slowly but surely drained by this one button. If you do not bother the battery out of it if you work with power, so the battery will charge a bit more and again, which is very bad for the endurance of the battery. Certainly not desirable because in the beginning you have only slightly from 1.25 pm. HD Um, I've had a single opportunity to enjoy all that may concern HD (Blu-ray, HDMI and digital audio out) to test, so this I can not judge. A few things The webcam and microphone are doing their job. For those who like to fool around with the webcam during a call Asus also has some nice gimmicks provided. Almost everything you can in the supplied program LifeFrame, you can also, for example MSN Messenger. Multiframe works tremendously well. It is a small program that can position windows on the screen. It also works to connect an extra monitor. status lights power, battery charging and wireless are so wrong. They sit in front of your laptop, but as it rolls down from the top to the back, you totally do not see this so if you sit on the laptop. I think I had noticed them only after three days. Conclusion Personally, I am very satisfied with this laptop. He does have its flaws and strange cures, but I can live with. I can imagine that others can not do this. . Therefore I recommend so all I have mentioned to take if you would like to purchase this laptop into consideration my reason for purchase is mainly to run games but at two different levels: entertainment and professional. Currently I'm Game Design & Development to study and it is helpful if you can build that is not quite right in terms of CPU, GPU and RAM load. A messy prototype This laptop will be able to handle UPDATE I've added some pictures. The quality is very dredge, but because I had to contact my cell phone camera ... There she also runs any game because you would not see its quality. Yet View images and play online games.
