Our fellow gamers, here is good news for you guys! ASUS has announced their first two notebooks designed for gamers on the go! Based on the latest Intel Centrino Duo Mobile Technology with advanced graphic solutions, the Asus G1 and G2 revolutionize the way games are played with blistering speed and true-to-life video and audio performances - on the go! They are available in two sizes, 15.4 inch (G1) and 17 inch (G2) and feature an OLED instant display, side/front speakers, hotkey highlights as well as sidelights. The LCD cover of Asus G1 and G2 with special in-mold decoration design not only gives the notebook an instant game machine identity that simply stands out from the generic notebook design but it also makes the surface more resistant from paint chipping off. The full-sized keyboard of G1 and G2 makes mobile gaming ergonomically comfortable while the W, A, S and D keys are especially marked with color squares to match the rest of the notebook color scheme for convenient access at one glance. The Game and Night View Modes are great for extra gaming effects that not only sharpen the image details but also enhance the outlines ideal for underlying stealth actions.

The VX1 Golded Edition goes on sale in Japan tomorrow, in a limited run of just 200 machines. At this stage it’s unclear whether the notebook will be offered elsewhere in the world. If so, will each territory get 200 units, or is that the global total? Asus Japan didn’t say. Either way, each laptop has a metal plate embossed on the back with a unique machine number.

The ASUS Z96j is powered by a 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo T2500 processor, 1GB of OCZ DDR2-667 RAM, 256MB ATI Mobility Radeon x1600 graphics, 100GB SATA HDD, built-in webcam, 8x DVD+RW drive, and a vibrant 15.4 inch SXGA display. NotebookReview has a review of this notebook.

To my knowledge, there is no such thing as a perfect laptop. Despite the flaws, I am happy with my purchase. According to Eddie from Geared2Play, the z96j has an official weight of 6.8lbs when fully configured with the 6 cell battery. But due to the manner in which weight is distributed, it subjectively feels lighter than my 14″ Compaq Presario 700, which has an official weight of 6.3 lbs. As a result, I perceive the z96j to be around the 6.3 lb range. If I wasn’t interested in the SXGA LCD, I would have settled for the Acer Aspire 5672 instead of an Asus s96j given my experience with the warm touchpad on the z96j. But as I stated earlier, I believe that the price difference between the z96j and the s96j is justified by its 1680×1050 SXGA screen. If was given the choice again, I would have still purchased the Asus z96j, but preferably from another online vendor since I did not find any reason to spend more money on customer service. On a subjective grading scale, I would rate the Asus z96j an 8.25 out of 10.
