Reality Upscaled
The universe of gaming notebooks has a new hero – the ASUS ROG G51Jx gaming and multimedia powerhouse. Resplendent in striking design, G51Jx machines deploy Intel® Core™ i7 processors and brand new NVIDIA® GeForce® GTS360M GPUs with 1GB GDDR5 RAM, not to mention up to 8GB of main memory. With this kind of hardware, compromise has been shown the door. Prepare for realism.
For the Win
Gamers can look forward to smooth action with no scaling back of graphics settings, resolutions and other basics – this is not your previous generation’s notebook, G51Jx is a relentless gaming portable that gets the job done in style. Its winning combo of powerful CPU, hardcore GPU and abundant RAM makes sure all the latest titles can be played as intended. Just take one look at these 3DMark scores and you’ll be won over.
Lock and Load
Overclocking potential is the legacy of every gaming rig worth its salt, and G51Jx is no slacker in this department. Extreme Turbo and the Power 4 Gear Hybrid engine drive through the biggest challenges with flying colors, boosting CPU clocks on demand or saving power when taking on more sedate tasks, all determined by users via a friendly interface. Prodigious gaming horsepower doesn’t have to come at the expense of the environment!
Switch to Night Vision
In a stroke of genius, G51Jx includes the trademark Republic of Gamers illuminated chiclet keyboard – it’s not only ergonomic and comfortable for all productivity needs, it’s a complete gaming keyboard that lights up when the lights go out. Real gamers don’t let the dark hold them back, but there’s no need to disturb anyone with undue illumination – just one key press and the keyboard goes bright or dark as needed.
Expand the ‘M’ in Multi
G51Jx notebooks work wonders for every multimedia application, because with this much power overhead they can handle any content you throw at them, and the vivid, crisp 15.6" 1366X768 backlit LED 60Hz screen gives video a much-needed remake, bringing out lush colors, excellent tones and accurate contrast. Audio doesn’t get relegated to afterthought status with the G51Jx – full EAX 4.0 3D audio rendering on Altec Lansing speakers worthy of a standalone surround system makes sure games, music and movie audio come to life in full immersive glory.
Let Gameness Reign
This is an out and out fun notebook, and Republic of Gamers went to town on the design – look at the go stripes on the cover, they’re not just a cosmetic, they’re a statement. G51Jx is a fast machine, and it’s here to rule.

I was deciding between this and the N61. I actually spent some time with both, and both are great machines, but in the end the high resolution screen won me over. I do mainly programming and robotics PhD work, and not having 1/5 of the screen taken up by fixed-size window and menu bars is nice :)
Speakers are loud, but not terribly hi-fi. I use external speakers or headphones anyway.

I got this puppy last 2 weeks ago and It works very well. It's comes with backpack and mouse(I felt disappoint with this mouse coz it doesn't work smooth I don't know why maybe the blue laser sensor doesn't shine enough). About Bloatware doesn't a big problem you can uninstall them if you don't want. About Blue-tooth issue I try to find the way to make it work but it still dead. Overall I love this little cute puppy.
