Great performance at a great price.
- Pros: Runs the recent game Dead Space at max settings very well. I have noticed no slowdown and it is easy to forget I am on a laptop. I have had no problems with the performance of this computer at all.
All of the extras save money and space you would have spent on accessories and add-on cards (lots of USB ports, eSATA port, flash card reader, HDMI out, etc)
Relatively small size makes it practical to carry around.
Battery life is more than adequate. I forgot to plug in and played the original Half-Life for about an hour and a half and still had about 40% remaining.
The ExpressGate feature is great for getting online quickly or if you have main OS has gone TU. I thought it was gimmicky at first but it does come in handy and has a LOT smaller footprint that Vista which adds to power savings and battery life for web surfing.
- Cons: The case is plastic with a metal foil plating that will peel up if you are not careful. My wife has the N80Vn-A1 version and has a pencil eraser sized hole in the finish where it came off with the sticker. That is a common thing with this type of finish and not a real defect just a "gotcha."
The reflective screen finish obviously picks up a LOT of glare but the LED backlight can overpower just about anything short of the sun directly over your shoulder.
ExpressGate is Linux but can't access Linux partitions. That may be fixed in future versions.
- Other Thoughts: My first step was to re-install Vista on a smaller partition to make room for Ubuntu Linux so I did not use the stock install.
WINDOWS:
I started by wiping the drive. This freed up ~10GB used by the restore partition.
The recovery DVDs do not create partitions but they need an NTFS partition set up before they will run. If you do a hard drive swap/upgrade you will need to create a partition with a USB enclosure or bootable partition creating software.
I skipped the step where it asked for the Asus driver CD, rebooted and installed the drivers by hand from the ASUS website. This eliminated all of the bloat from the factory install.
LINUX:
Next I installed the latest Ubuntu release. Wifi worked with no extra tweaking.
You will get NO sound without adding the following line to the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base file:
options snd-hda-intel enable=1 model=g50v position_fix=0
The nVidia graphics card works flawlessly.
I have not tried the webcam under Ubuntu so I am not
Best computer I've ever had
- Pros: You can't beat this deal or these specs for the price in the laptop genre. This computer includes a 1 year accidental damage warranty, covering spills, fires, drops etc. Newegg fails to mention it in their specs. It comes in the package, you have to submit it to ASUS.
Also know that this laptop is in fact Windows Vista 64 bit, it's very fast, and I've had no problems with it so far. (The other douscher who wrote the 1st review).
Secondly, shame on newegg for raising the price and then saying it's discounted, but like all businesses, it happens. I payed $989 for this laptop. Still the price is worth it.
This notebook is incredibly light, portable, discrete, and has amazing specs to be this light and compact. However it still has a solid build that's well put together.
I can play COD4/5 or Age of Conan on medium/high settings without a fuss. Therefore, this laptop is amazing.
Overall the laptop is awesome for both office, gaming, & fantastic specs for a lightweight lap
- Cons: Vista frequently has updates that I choose to ignore, and still has its downs and limitations for all you vista whiners.
The keyboard takes some getting used to, you have to push down slightly harder to get the keys to work, however I've come to like it, that way its not so sensitive.
Nothing much to comment on for cons thus far.
- Other Thoughts: The login has fingerprint, password, and facial recognition software to login, of course you don't have to have any of these, but they are definitely awesome features.
I ordered late Monday and got it on Thursday afternoon w/ standard 3day shipping. That's great.
ASUS has great customer support available 24/7 on the phone and customer support online during business hours.
You can't beat the accidental damage warranty along with these awesome specs of 2.4 ghz dual core, vista 64 bit, 9650m GT Geforce 1GB graphics, 4GB of DDR2, great picture, security features, and simply the fastest/lightest laptop I've ever owned, a massive upgrade for me.

Happy camper
- Pros: 14" portable, under 6lbs, decent battery life (3 hrs with normal use at my night classes), great speed and gaming ability. The Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz and the 9650m GT are an excellent combo. Vista 64 and 4gb ram also works perfectly together. Keyboard and trackpad work great. Very nice looking but not too flashy. Loaded with 5 USB ports, HDMI, E-SATA, LED display just for starters.
- Cons: Loud mouse buttons, they don't bother me but when others start noticing the clicking then it's louder than it should be.
- Other Thoughts: Great buy for the money. Loaded with features and speed and all for a great price. I've owned 20+ laptops over the years and this is my first Asus - and will not be my last.
Very nice Laptop
- Pros: This a fantastic "catch all" laptop. Gives you the ability to do some gaming, enjoy some media, and get some work done. The keyboard is very smooth and the touchpad is very accurate. (I hate touchpads and I was even impressed by this one). The mouse button is not as bad as people are making it out to be....it clicks....but it's not like a Mack truck roaring through your front door.
- Cons: -The crapware on this thing is unbelievable. Take 45 minutes and remove it or do a fresh install.
-Super smudge magnet. If you're really worried about your PC looking pretty then buy a Mac....if you want it to get work done then this is the PC you want.
- Other Thoughts: I'm really enjoying this PC so far. I have built my own PCs for years and this is my first laptop. It stinks that you can't request WinXP but as long as you're fairly competent, you can navigate through Vista's bloat and see this PC for how good it really is.
best ASUS laptop yet
- Pros: Beautiful finish, very sturdy--no flex anywhere, great keyboard, amazing screen, minimum bloatware, fast, quiet, and cool.
- Cons: Honestly this is the best ASUS laptop I have resold yet and I have zero gripes.
- Other Thoughts: Perfect--you will be disappointed if you do not take the time to look at this laptop when making a buying decision.
