Strengths: Nominal pricing, impressive performance, good connectivity, secondary LCD screen

Weaknesses: Dismal battery life, no options for upgrade, styling, average audio quality

The Asus G50VT T9600 laptop is purely intended for gaming purposes and will definitely prove to be a delight for gamers who can’t shell out cash to buy expensive ones. Tagged at around US$1,250, the Asus G50VT is one of the cheapest gaming laptops in the market that performs top notch. A first look at the G50VT is sure to evoke mixed expressions from many. While many might like the tacky flame design on the outer lid, many might feel it to be way too gaudy and weird. A sure drawback though is the weight. Weighing a hefty At 7.3 pounds and 1.6 inches thick, this laptop is easily one of the bulkiest 15-inch notebooks in the market.

The most disappointing let-down of the Asus G50VT is its dismal battery life. When all the settings are kept at the max and a game is played, this laptop will run only for a shocking 45-minute period, after which it turns off. Even if you turn on all the energy-saving settings, you will be guaranteed a battery life of 1 hour and 45 minute, which is pathetically low. The sound quality of the laptop speakers is very mediocre and nothing to boast about. However, the performance and the gaming experience of the G50VT is top gun and virtually unmatched by any laptop in its range. So, if you are not bothered about the battery life and the styling, then the Asus G50VT is definitely one of the better choices for gaming.
