Comments about ASUS G51J 3D 15.6" Notebook Computer:
The notebook is mainly my entertainment centre: gaming, HD movie, processing Photos and video. So far I am very happy with it. 3D gaming is totally new experience to me and I love it, although one of my friend feels dizzy when watching the 3D content. I also tried 2D-3D conversion for realtime video (HD) and Photos. It works well with my new Sony NEX3 digital camera. It starts up very quickly and works very quitely, unless I run some resource-consuming operations such as demanding games or video compression. Key components temperature is acceptable as for its high performance. The only thing not totally happy is the layout of USB and audio output. However not a big issue. I give it an overall A+.
