Specifications: If you are someone who watches a lot of HD videos, often plays games or works with a lot of graphics, it is better to get a laptop that is better suited for those purposes. Although average laptop models will be able to perform such tasks, there will be many frequent system lags due to system overload.
The new ASUS N61JQ-X1 is a great example of an entertainment-oriented laptop. ‘Video’ and ‘Audio’ are two of the main keywords for this model. This model is powered by a very powerful Intel Core i7-720QM 2.8Ghz processor. It has 4 GB of DDR3 RAM and a 320 GB hard drive.
The 16-inch display is of course an HD display and is backed by the very competent ATI 5730 graphics card. It has 1 GB of VRAM dedicated to graphics. The audio on this laptop is also very noteworthy. It has a set of SRS Premium Sound speakers (by Altec Lansing) and also comes with the Asus SonicMaster feature that greatly improves the sound quality of the speakers (paper and foam cones). This model runs on the Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit operating system.
Design: The 16-incher sports a rather subdued and minimalist design. It has an air of quiet “class”. It measures 15.4 x 10.6 x 1.5 inches and weighs 6.5 pounds. It would make a great desktop replacement model.
Features and performance: That’s for its impressive set of specs, there’s nothing you can’t do on the ASUS N61JQ-X1. Whether you’re running heavy apps, heavy multitasking, or playing graphics-heavy games, this model performed like a charm. Some of the standard features that come with it include a 2MP webcam, an HDMI port, wi-fi, and Bluetooth connectivity. At the time of writing, the ASUS N61JQ-X1 is priced at around $999 per unit.
