Good 15.6" Gamer Laptop

ASUS Laptop G Series Intel Core i7-720QM 6GB Memory 500GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GTS 360M 15.6" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit G51JX-A1
ASUS Laptop G Series Intel Core i7-720QM 6GB Memory 500GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GTS 360M 15.6" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit G51JX-A1

Pros: Nice Design, good keyboard with backlighting, 1080hp, plenty of options for USB, Express Card, SD Card, firewire, and Sata connectivity. Excellent hardware specs for games such as World of Warcraft.

Cons: Dust and fingerprint magnet. Be ready to constantly wipe this bad boy down. Battery life is pathetic, but expected for a gaming laptop.

Overall Review: If you want a decent travel laptop for gaming recommend this model. Got this to replace my dead Alienware 9570 17" laptop which was a beast to lug around. This gives me a more portable option versus other 17" gamer laptops.

Excellent Laptop Cooler

Pros: Excellent product! Keeps my new Asus G51J Laptop cool right out the box!

Cons: None

Overall Review: The box says it takes up to a 20" laptop, but my 15.6" Asus G51J fits the entire cooling pad perfectly. I'm skeptical about anything bigger than that fitting on the cooler without serious overlap.

Simple Upgrade

Microsoft Windows Anytime Upgrade: Windows 7 Home Premium to Professional
Microsoft Windows Anytime Upgrade: Windows 7 Home Premium to Professional

Pros: Worked like a charm! Right clicked on my computer, went to properties, clicked the link on the computer description screen that said "Get more features with a new edition of Windows 7". Entered the activation key that came with the Windows 7 Pro Anytime Upgrade, then let the computer do the rest. Simple way to go from Windows 7 64 Bit Home Edition to Windows 7 64 Bit Professional Edition.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Make sure you understand that you are only paying for the activation code, not a disk version. If you need the disk for some reason recommend you buy a retail version or a systems builder OEM version. If you just want the upgrade code to get an upgraded version of Windows then this is the cheapest way to go.

Fast Card

Comments: Fast shipping from Newegg!! Card is great, but a memory hog. Tried running it on an Athlon XP 2200+ 512MB DDR333, but it slowed down my computer big time, If you are going to get this card make sure you upgrade your power supply to 400W or higher. Also make sure you upgrade your memory to at least 1GB (Recommend 2GB)of DDR400 RAM. Once you do these upgrades you should be good to go!!!

Comments: Ordered this from Newegg and received 2 days later. Extremely fast shipping, and I haven't had any problems with it yet. Good buy for the money.
