How many Gamers are present on my blog ;)
I’m too a Hardcore Gamer and when it comes to gaming it cuts across almost all age groups from children to Grand Pa’s and Grand Ma’s ;) , and when that happens a rising demand occupies a space in the market . Gaming on laptops is one of the most convenient ways for time pass :P or if you are a multi tasking machine and want to take a break then you can switch off yourself and switch on to your gaming machines . Asus just launched an affordable Gaming laptop in the market namely ASUS R510JX . Before landing into the market , It was predicted by some tech freaks that it is gonna provide a healthy competition to Dell’s Alienware . When it’s about gaming , The manufacturers have to meet the rising demands of their customers . So does the newly lauched Asus R510JX meet those ? Keep Reading .
You just brought this new gaming machine which is well packed , and by feeling it’s heavy weight on your laps , you predicted that it weighs 2.5 Kilograms , Well your prediction was accurate , It is a heavy unit weighing close to 2.5 Kilograms . You open the box and the first thing that you observe is the red lines which ASUS calls the “Mayan” design , you also observe the very shiny , glossy and slippery top .
Opening the top you will observe fully matte finished surfaces , one that will hold a 15.6” display and the other that will hold the keyboard with a huge real estate for your palms to rest as you work on the keyboard and touch pad . Asus R510JX Boasts of having a full HD Display packing in 1920*1080 pixels overall and comes with anti-glare technology , which ensures your eye’s safety and which is a must needed feature if you are gamer who spend elongated periods in gaming . So now let’s talk something negative , as ASUS hasn’t made a contract with me to write only positive thing about their new laptop :P
The viewing angles are terrible and the R510JX demands you to be parallel on the screen which is very difficult for gamers , as while playing games , no one sits in a mannered posture ;) – All thanks to the lack of IPS Technology on the display . This is the major drawback , as it is gaming laptop , so ASUS Must have taken care for it’s customers after all they will be playing games on their machines . This lack of IPS technology can also be disadvantageous when your friends are sitting by your side or people have huddled around your laptop . The keyboard is made of one piece and has the text coloured in red which I feel is somehow attractive . There is also a major drawback – the keys are not backlit . Having red keys and not backlit , using it in the slightest of dim light can be very painful for people whose fingers aren’t programmed really good . This also means that game addicts will have a nightmare when they want to continue gaming all tucked up in the bed and want to doze off as they finish up the gaming in wee hours – this is most likely to occur especially if you’re into multi player on-line gaming. Enough ! we’ve talked negative enough . One good thing about ASUS R510JX is that it is supported by IceCool technology which ensures your palms doesn’t face the heat during elongated periods .
Asus R510JX comes with an INTEL CORE i7 4720HQ clocked at 2.6 GHz . It is also accompanied by 8GB DDR3L of RAM and a GPU comprising of NVIDIA GeForce 950M with 2GB RAM , And a good 1TB of HDD storage ensuring you have massive amounts of data and install heavy games on the machines . Windows 10 is the operating system . The following games listed below have been tested in the medium to high graphic settings and elongated periods of gaming .
The sound output on the speakers is not the best we have seen and the poor choice of positioning it below the keyboard doesn’t help either and may be this is why in spite of SonicMaster technology, the sound output leaves you with a little more desire . However when a headphone is plugged in , the output is phenomenal . While gaming on this laptop , you will never find this laptop being alive for more that 2.45 hours , and after this period of time you will be running for the charger . There is another drawback that it’s a bulky and heavy machine which is cumbersome to use if you keep if on your laps .
With handy options like DVD-RW, two USB 3.0 ports, HDMI ports, decent performance for mid-high end gaming, latest version of Windows on-board, good ability to control heating and very good combination of a processor, GPU and Graphics unit, makes the ASUS R510JX a good buy at around Rs 65,000 for someone who has just started their venture into the gaming world and also for some who are not grown into amateurs yet .
By reading the full post , now you are fully aware of it’s drawbacks , but at a price of Rs. 65,000 , it’s a good choice . But if you were to shell out more cash , you can perhaps have a look at Dell Alienware which is a good long term investment . But for starters , Asus R510JX is a good choice . Not for only Gaming , It can be used for usual day to day purposes also .
