The G53Jw-3DE 15.6" Notebook Computer from ASUS is a powerful 15.6" notebook computer, built to handle the intensive hardware demands that modern computer games place on a system. The computer's graphics engine is powered by the nVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M card, loaded with 1.5GB of GDDR5 video memory. The GPU is capable of driving true 3D graphics -- active shutter 3D glasses from nVIDIA are included.
The system is powered by a 1.73GHz Intel i7-740QM quad-core CPU which, coupled with the graphics card, can really push up frame rates in complex 3D video games. Thanks to Intel Turbo Boost Technology and the ASUS LevelUp function, you can overclock the system's CPU to up to 2.93GHz for enhanced performance.
Storage is handled by a 750GB 7200rpm hard drive, giving you ample space for games and media. The computer boasts 6GB of RAM, a SuperMulti DVD burner, 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, and a 2MP webcam. An Altec Lansing sound system provides crisp and clear audio output for a true multimedia experience. The true 16:9 display features a 720p native resolution for HD gaming, and you can connect to an external HD display via HDMI for play on a big screen. Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) is the installed operating system.
