The Lenovo runs Borderlands 2 at p on high settings and can play Battlefield 3 at p on medium; it can also handle The Witcher 2 on medium at x , but struggled with the demanding game at p, averaging just 28fps on low settings. Thanks to the 16GB SSD, the machine boots in 23 seconds and wakes in two, and will likely be even faster on Windows 8.
The laptop lasted for a respectable 4 hours and 45 minutes during the Verge Battery Test, outstripping the other machines in this roundup by about half an hour. The 7. While it may not look terrible, the X is made of a thin, brittle material that feels like cheap plastic and the whole machine seems fragile, especially the flimsy lid and screen. They can get loud enough to wake the neighbors, without sacrificing impressive sound that ranges from deep bass to crisp, clear highs.
If I could recommend a gaming laptop on speakers alone, it would be this one. Luckily, most of these notifications can be turned off. I tested the configuration with a 2. The combination performs admirably, running Borderlands 2 on high settings at p and Battlefield 3 on medium settings at the same resolution. At the same resolution, the detailed, very beautiful, and exceptionally taxing opening of The Witcher 2 runs at an average of 34 fps on low settings.
The X also has the worst battery life of the lot, making it just one hour and eighteen minutes into the Verge Battery test before dying altogether.
The plastic lid is coated with a black soft touch rubber, and silver accents along the sides make the computer appear far slimmer than it actually is. But at 8. The palmrest is also coated in black soft touch plastic, but unlike the lid it has a strange, velvety texture. It felt weird at first, but was actually useful in keeping my arm from sticking to it during long gaming sessions.
The keyboard is decent, if a little shallow. Many keyboards have raised notches to indicate the F and J keys for touch typing, and Asus has also added a small raised dot to the W key to help you keep your place while gaming. In addition to the mediocre display, the speaker bar above the keyboard produces tinny, compressed sound.
While the problem is somewhat relieved by the subwoofer beneath the left side of the palm rest, music still sounded lopsided and echoed oddly whether the computer was on a table or in my lap. The model we tested has the same GPU, processor, and RAM as the Toshiba, and as a result, performance was even to within a frame or two across every game we tested.
The G75VW, however, is strong where the Toshiba is weakest. While the design may appeal to some, the clunky, angular aesthetic swallows the laptop, making it seem even larger than it really is, and the large bezel around the The 8.
Sitting above the keyboard on the right and left sides, the speakers work well in tandem with the subwoofer on the underside of the computer. However, the screen is a disappointment, with muddy blacks, desaturated colors, and poor viewing angles. In line with the performance of the other machines, the GT70 can render Battlefield 3 's detailed war zones and gritty firefights at 33 frames per second on high settings at p, and plays The Witcher 2 on low settings at the same resolution.
The GT70 is more expensive but not any better than the equivalent Asus and Toshiba options. It's also even pricier than the more powerful Samsung Series 7 Gamer, which we'll get to in a moment. The GT70's design is bulky and awkward, and the screen leaves much to be desired. Ultimately though, you can get a better gaming machine for less from other manufacturers. Despite being a little reflective in direct sunlight, the Red rings around the volume and power buttons light up and pulse in time with music and other audio, an effect which you can read more about in our full review of the Series 7 Gamer.
The deep, responsive keyboard is the best I tested, and is a true joy to type on. The trackpad is smooth and snappy, and gestures work well without delay. At x , Borderlands 2 runs smoothly on full settings with particle-heavy PhysX effects on high, and the machine can handle the grueling The Witcher 2 at p on medium settings.
