Gamers have a reason to celebrate with the highly anticipated Asus X77. With a relatively steep price tag starting from $1,400, the Asus X77 is one of the Asus’ first laptops that offer two powerful components: the ATI Mobility Radeon 5730 and the Intel Core i5 processor.

 

One can expect the Asus X77 to deliver a seamless and smooth performance even when operating memory-hungry and hardcore games. This is due to the Asus X77’s powerful combination of its memory and processor.

 

To appeal to gamers, Asus outfitted the Asux X77 with a generous 17.3-inch liquid crystal display that holds a native resolution of 1600 x 900 and 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. Gamers are in for a treat with the X77’s large screen. Plus, this gaming laptop can also be connected to an external HD monitor as it has an HDMI video output.

 

Now let’s go to the driving force behind this gaming delight. The Asus X77 is driven by the Intel Core i5-430M that clocks at 2.26 MHz. When the situation calls for it, the Intel Core i5-430M could raise the speed to 2.53 GHz through the Intel Turbo Boost Technology. The i5 processor can handle four threads at once, translating into a powerful and faster performance. The Intel Core i5 contains a 3 MB Level 3 Cache.

 

Supporting the Asus X77’s i5 processor is the 4 GB of RAM, which is really needed for gaming platforms that consume a lot of RAM when running. For the memory-hungry games, Asus outfitted the Asus X77 with a dedicated graphics card in ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730, with a DDR3 memory similar to what the Asus GPUs 5750 and 5770 have. With this combination, you can play your desired hardcore 3D games anywhere minus the hitches and lags during gameplay.

 

Storage is one thing that would make a potential user consider this product. The Asus X77 can hold up to a maximum of 1 TB of digital files due to its dual hard-drive system. The Asus X77 can be loaded with two hard drives of 500 GB each. Now this presents a lot of storage space for your large files like music, games, and HD movies! All told, the Asus X77 can be a suitable desktop replacement given its powerful specifications packed in one mean machine.
