ASUS G50vt-x6

I was about to get that laptop aswell, but it was a bit out of my budget, so i settled on the M50VN, the laptop is g8.

If ur laptop needs servicing, u can call ASUS ppl, and they will send a courier to pick it up at ur house, (yeah its betta than other manufactors).

Then when they have fixed it, they send it back, all free if its still under warrantee. I know this because my lasts laptop which was also an ASUS, had a faulty DVD drive.

hey leafybug, I wouldn't take it to bestbuy for anything! I remember hearing bad stories at bestbuy for servicing.

ASUS would really come to your house to pick it up for you?

whats makes the x6 better than the x5? all i can see is the cpu is better... bestbuy has the x5 for 900$ and the cpu can be upgraded anyways.

Do any of you guys have this laptop? If so, how do you like it? Im seriously considering it for college.xxxleafybugxxx

can you get a g50vt-x6 at best buy?

Also, they have cheaper ASUS's. The g50vt-x1 only cost 950. I noticed its processor speed was slower and also it didnt have bluetooth. What does bluetooth for a computer look like?

I dont know anything about overclocking or anything like that. Can you get the g50vt-x6 from best buy?

Whats bluetooth on a computer look like?

you can't see it, it is an internal component that transfers data from other bluetooth devices such as phones or computers.

Ya.. i know you cant see it.. lol I was wondering what capeabilities it enables you to do. What would that enable me to do?

transfer data to and from other bluetooth enabled devices without a wire. Like pictures or documents. Its not really a necessary feature, but if it standardoption why not.

I think Ill go to best buy in a few days and chech out the ASUS's that they have there.

Whats the difference between the g50vt-x5 and g50vt-x6? Other than a little slower processor speed, Im not really sure. The x5's processor speed is 2.13GHz, as apposed to the x6 which is 2.53. Am I missing anything else? If not, Im not so sure that the difference in that processor speed is worth paying $400 more.

yes i would pay 400 extra for the extra speed. i wouldnt want anything less than 2.3 Ghz

i agree, the newer games recommend 2.2 ghz. it would be worth it to get the better processor.

Well, it didnt seem like (based on the reviews) people who had the x5 had problems with maxing out games. Are there any games that cannot be maxed out on the x6?

i would bet most games now cant be fully maxed out with a 2.0Ghz processor and in the future it wont be able to play games at medium.... soo make it as future proof as possible.

depends what games you play. The newer games and crysis games are starting to demand more processor power. 2.3 ghz is about the cutoff for latest games. The thing about laptops is once you get it they can't be upgraded so make sure you get what you want. If you want to play the latest games you should look better than 2.1 ghz. Good gaming laptops are expensive. Its always been that way.

you can't max out crysis but no PC can. and probably not far cry2 either. But they are demanding even for desktops. Maybe you can overclock that 2.1 ghz? I don't know.

didn't know that, well thats great then more of a reason to get Asus. They sold me.

get the x5 for 900$ put this in it for 330$

Even after that the x6 would be .03 faster

So where are Sager laptops supposed to fit in on this? I've used many laptops in my days and have always liked sager the best...

I dont know anything about Sager... Im set on ASUS

I went and visited the best buy again... and saw they had a Gateway p-7805u. The specs seemed similar to the Asus g50vt-x6, but it only cost $1050. I just now read up on some reviews and saw someone say the specs that it labled werent what the computer was really capeable of. Do you guys know anything about this?

Can the ASUS g50-vt's hook up joysitcks and that sort of thing? Also use a mouse?

yes through USB.

Well... I think im ordering my laptop sometime this weekend...

let us know how it performs in games, it should do pretty well for a laptop.

Well I hope it does. Ive reading nothing but good things about it.
