The Asus G55VW-S1020V is the latest addition to the 15.6” Republic of Gamers lineup. While being bulky and heavy, the Asus G55VW-S1020V is worthy replacement of a desktop gaming platform. Residing inside the sturdy chassis is a powerful Intel Core i7-3610QM Ivy Bridge 22nm processor.
While not considered as a major leap in performance level, the die shrink allows for lower power usage and heat level. Being a gaming laptop, the Asus G55VW-S1020V comes equipped with the powerful Nvidia GeHorce GTC 660M. While not considered to be as fast as a proper gaming desktop, the Asus G55VW-S1020V still offers respectable performance level. Reaching 28fps on Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and 23fps on Crysis 2 at the highest settings Typing experience should be pleasant and gaming in low-light situation should be easier thanks to a spacious backlit keyboard.
To improve gaming experience, the 15.6” display supports up to 1920×1080 pixel resolution with 16:9 aspect ratio. Although the TN panel is less advanced than the IPS technology, the display still looks great for any advanced gaming session.
