ASUS G74SX-3DE Overview

The G74SX-3DE 17.3" Laptop Computer from ASUS is a powerful 17.3" 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 560M GPU, loaded with a staggering 3GB of GDDR5 video memory. For viewing graphics, movies, or any other content, the notebook features a 17.3" LED-backlit screen with a full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080. Plus, this notebook supports nVIDIA 3D viewing for compatible video games and movies!

For even more multimedia fun, the computer is equipped with an optical drive that can burn and play Blu-ray discs, DVDs, and CDs. You can watch Blu-ray High Definition movies on the notebook or you can connect the notebook to an HDTV via the built-in HDMI port. As an alternative, you can also utilize the VGA or DVI ports to connect the notebook to a VGA or DVI display.

The system is powered by a 2GHz Intel i7-2630QM 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, you can overclock the system's CPU to up to 2.9GHz for enhanced performance.

Storage is handled by a dual hard drive system -- two 750GB SATA 7200rpm disks, for a total storage capacity of 1.5TB. The computer boasts 12GB of RAM, 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0+HS, and a 2MP webcam. The THX TruStudio and EAX 5.0 3D sound system provides crisp and clear audio output for a true multimedia experience. Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) is the installed operating system.

Power
The G74SX is a performance notebook that boasts an Intel Core i7 CPU and nVIDIA GTX 560M GPU with 3GB of GDDR5 VRAM. A score of P2008 in 3DMark11 and P9180 in 3DMark Vantage makes this a blazing fast notebook. Support for DirectX 11 also ensures that you will have a fast rig and the ability to play games as they were meant to be seen.
3D Video Output and THX TruStudio Sound
This notebook supports nVIDIA 3D Vision, so games, photos and movies are all able to be enjoyed like never before. There's also the ability to output the G74SX to a 3D TV, so you can enjoy 3D entertainment from the living room. Pair that up with THX TruStudio and EAX 5.0 3D gaming audio technology, and together they make the G74 not only a great gaming notebook, but also a hub for multimedia entertainment.
Get Comfy
Gaming is something to be enjoyed, so why not be more comfortable for extended gaming sessions? Fatigue will be a thing of the past, thanks to the G74's 5° inclined keyboard, designed to provide a better ergonomic angle, as well as comfortable rubber-like palm rests that are easy on the palm and wrist. There's also more space between the keyboard and number pad, so it more resembles a desktop keyboard.
Stellar Ventilation
The harder you work, the more heat you generate. A computer is no different, and with the amount of power in the G74SX, some serious cooling is needed. With a unique venting design, the notebook pulls air from underneath it, cooling the system down, and then sends it through the rear, keeping hot air away from the user and reducing ambient noise for prolonged gaming fun.
Connect External Devices
This notebook includes VGA, DVI, and HDMI ports, if you want to connect any of these displays. In addition, one very fast USB 3.0 port and three USB 2.0 ports are built-in, if you want to connect an external hard drive, USB printer, and many other devices.
Memory Card Reader
For transferring photos or videos from your camera or camcorder, this notebook features an 8-in-1 memory card reader. It supports the following formats: SD, SDXC, MMC, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, Memory Stick Duo, Smart Media, and xD-Picture.
Battery Management
ASUS Power4Gear Hybrid technology moderates the computer's use of power so that it saves battery life when less power is needed while still delivering extreme performance when more power is needed.
