ASUS G74SX-A1 3DE Review

Dear reader, let me present this review to you. The ASUS G74SX-A1 3DE is a high-end gaming laptop, yet at the very same time as I just stated that, it isn’t the most powerful. It packs a backlit keyboard, a matte 17.3-inch 1920×1080 3D screen that uses NVIDIA 3D glasses tech, USB 3.0 port, a 2X Blu-Ray drive, a 2GHz Core i7-2630QM quad-core processor, 12GB of DDR3 1333MHz RAM, two 750GB hard drives, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M graphics card. Interesting, isn’t it?

Razer Unveils The Blade, “The First True Gaming Laptop”, Which Is Unusual

The Razer Blade is an awesome laptop as according to the spec sheets. At only 0.88-inches thick, it’s super thin (but still weighs 6.97 pounds), packs a 2.8GHz Core i7 2640M CPU and GeForce GT 555M graphics replete with 2GB of GDDR5 video memory, a crisp 17.3-inch LED 1920 x 1080 full HD panel with an HD webcam, 8GB of RAM, three USB ports (one will support 3.0), HDMI out and a 60Wh integrated battery. And all of this glorious machine will cost $2,799 in Q4 of 2011 when it’s available. However, what makes the Blade different than every other laptop out there is that it contains a 480 x 800 LCD trackpad to the right of the keyboard, which could be used for in-game commands, or customized for different needs (including an API that soon will be available), which uses the Switchblade UI concept design. Otherwise, besides that, it’s just like every other gaming laptop out there, except it’s built by Razer. And therefore is probably pretty awesome. Like, so awesome that I want one. Like, coolest laptop of the year, or something.

PR after the jump.

Toshiba Debuts The First Glasses-Free 3D Laptop: The Qosmio F755

At the time of this writing, I am using a ASUS G74SX 3D laptop, which is by no means a little thing (8-9 pounds, much like the Qosmio F755). It can play most games on their highest settings without coughing, and has a 3D screen to boot. However, the 3D function requires those heavy Nvidia 3D Vision glasses. Enter the Toshiba Qosmio F755, which uses a quad-core 2GHz Intel Core i7 processor, NVIDA GeForce 540M graphics (weaker than the GeForce 560M the G74SX 3D has), and the prime feature: a 15.6-inch auto-stereoscopic display 3D display. Translation: sans-glasses 3D, by use face-tracking technology in the webcam. Other things to note of is that the F755 includes 6GB of RAM, a 750GB hard disk, Blu-ray drive, and the partnership between Nvidia and Toshiba, where 2D games willbe converted to 3D, by November. It launches August 17th for $1,700.

Macbook Airs Updated With New Sandy Bridge Processors, Thunderbolt, And Backlit Keyboards


It’s finally that time of year where Macbooks get updated, and this time it’s the Macbook Air line. The new 11-inch model priced at $999 (and kills off the old, white Macbook) comes with a new 1.6GHz Core i5 processor (a big bump from the last-gen’s 1.4GHz Core 2 Duo), 2GB of RAM, and a 64GB solid state drive. The larger and more spacious (to say the least) 13-inh 1,299 base model now boasts a 1.7GHz Core i5 processor (up from a sucky last-gen Core 2 Duo), 4GB of RAM (up from 2GB), and a 128GB SSD. Give Apple $1,699 and you’ll grab a 1.8GHz Core i7 processor and 256GB of space, if you want. All the new Macbook Airs contain backlit keyboards, Mac OS X Lion (which also launches today), and a Thunderbolt port for super fast data transfers. PR after the chop, folks.

MSi GX660R Review: Pew, Pew, Pew On Extreme Settings

This isn’t the pinnacle of new tech — it’s the aging MSi GX660R, which uses a first-generation Inter Core i processor clocked at 1.73GHz with TurboBoosst, has 6GB of DDR3 RAM, an AMD HD5870 mobile graphics card, a 15.6-inch screen at 1920×1080 resolution, 2 megapixel webcam capable of recording 720p HD video, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, and finally two 320GB hard drives in RAID 0 configuration clocked at 7,200RPM, making for 640GB of total storage space. It’s no slouch at all, and can still combat with today’s onslaught of new Sandy Bridge systems.

NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 580M Now In Alienware, MSi, And Origin Laptops

NVIDIA is having a great day at the office. Turns out the GeForce 580M can be touted as the “world’s fastest mobile GPU”, capable of running Crysis 2 on the new Ultra DX11 settings without much of an issue whatsoever. Meanwhile, the NVIDIA 570M is slightly weaker but is able to fit into more conventional systems, rather than large and power-hungry gaming rigs. It too is powerful, but not at all like the Crysis 2 performance seen on the 580M. Both 40-nanometer cards support DirectX11, OpenCL, PhysX, CUDA, 3D Vision, Verde drivers, Optimus, SLI, and 3DTV Play. As for manufacturers actually putting the chips into their notebooks (the power of each GPU can be altered by the OEM as well), Alienware has put in a fresh GTX 580M in their M18x laptop, while their older M17x will get a single-core version of the 580M with Optimus support rather than the defualt quad-core GPU that the normal 580M has, on top of the 1.5GB of GDDR5 memory, 384 cores running at 1.24GHz each, and a 256-bit memory bus. MSi and Origin have also released laptops today with the new GTX 580M as well.

PR after the break.

ASUS Quietly Puts Their New G74 Gaming Laptop On Pre-Order, Offer 3D Variant

It’s a new high-powered gaming rig (yay!), this time built by ASUS. The ASUS G74 has two configurations available, both of which contain a quad-core Sandy Bridge Core i7-2630QM CPUs, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M graphics with 3GB of video memory, 12GB DDR3 RAM (out of 16GB, yikes), dual 750GB speedy 7200RPM drives (!), a 1080p display, Blu-ray player, backlit keyboard and 3 USB 2.0 ports along with one USB 3.0, all of which comes down to $1,745 and is named the G74SX-A1. Not enough and want to spend a bit more? Then there’s also the $1,979 version with a 3D display, dubbed the G74SX-3DE. Either way, the above shot only displays the edges of the laptop, not the full width. Pre-order links are right next to this sentence.
