Asus G51jx-3D REVIEW - Laptop With 3D Visual Capability

Nowadays, LCD TV has come up with 3D visual capability, and this phenomenal capability also begins to be adopted by the notebook, for example, look at the Asus G51jx-3D. However, only few notebook vendors dared to carry this technology to their notebook because 3D visual sensation is still an additional feature that is not required most people. Moreover the price of products that carry the 3D technology is usually also become very expensive and not competitive compared to other notebooks those don't have this technology.

G51jx-3D is a notebook that falls under the row of ASUS ROG (Republic of Gamers) products, which is classified as Premium product from ASUS for the gamer enthusiasts. This can be seen from a fairly powerful weaponry ranging from 4 cores i7 processor-720QM, two-channel 4 GB DDR3 memory, and GeForce GTS 360M 1 GB graphic chip. All of those specifications will be strong enough to handle even newest games those need high end specifications. A 15.6-inch screen and speaker from Altec also contributed to a strong gaming atmosphere.

3D stereoscopic display on the screen will basically divide the image into 2 to be seen by right eye and left eye with the refresh rate up to 120 Hz, and the image display of this mode looks blurry if we are not wearing the special 3D glasses. However, an infrared receiver is still needed to be connected to the notebook via the USB. External device like this may be a little inconvenient for mobile use, so i think this notebook is actually more appropriately applied as a desktop replacement with its 3D activation service.

However, I am quite impressed with the visual effect of this product. With 3D Mode, the visual image feels come out from the screen. However, I suggest not to use this 3D mode too long due to dizziness effect for those who are not familiar.

G51jx-3D does not forget the needs of users who want instant internet access through the Express Gate. Express Gate allows users to enter a special interface for browsing, play music, view photos, play online games, and even a quick chat. The features can be used without involving the main operating system and only takes about 15 seconds to enjoy all these capabilities.For those who like overclocking, this notebook also featured by Power 4 Gear Hybrid tool that can be understood even by people who are not familiar enough with overclocking.

Judging from its function, I think G51jx-3D is a desktop replacement that is trying to bring the gaming and multimedia experience in a different way. To handle the daily computer activity, this notebook is quite superior. With this notebook, you can do fairly heavy computational process thanks to its high-end specification However, I recommend to change the performance setting to a balanced mode (balance) or energy efficient because this high-end specification drains lots of battery power, unless you use it to work at the desk that is always close to the power source.
