    Why not be happy …
    Why not be happy about illumination? lol, i mean seriously the illumination is cool and the backlit keyboard has almost become a necessity for me after using it for so long. They give you the specs, this isn’t a full performance review, its just an overview of the actual laptop

No information about the performence in games. All i know is that i don´t have to put on the lights because this machine is going to light up to 15 yard around me when booted. THX for the information and please excuse my irony here………..

    For me it’s Laptop cooler then overclock. Maybe I’ll make a custom cooling system sometime.

    What sucks aswell …
    What sucks aswell is that the gtx 260m in the g51vx is factory underclocked, so its only as powerful as a 9800m gts, AND IT STILL OVERHEATS!

    the cooling in …
    the cooling in these the g51vx sucks. on the furmark stress test, at stock clocks, I reached 102C on the GPU. That’s rediculous! I am getting a laptop cooler. what I may do after the warranty expires is open it up and add a bunch of extra heatsinks, and add an extra fan to that unused spot. That spot is like a fake supercharger on a car :P

    True, I opened mine up only 3 days ago to find that the supposed vent was completely blocked out by a black synthetic cover. I know that this is to aid the existing cooling architecture of the system, but my system (gtx 260m and q9000) still reaches 90 deg. cel. on the GPU regularly, and 80 on the already undervolted CPU????

    Thats not a speaker at the bottom, its a fan intake for the cooling system. Its surprising how many people do reviews of this and the old g50vt and get that wrong.

    I donno why but all asus laptops look a little cheap and plasticky to me…same styles..kinda ugly case design.
    Not ramming on the asus notebooks or anything, they perform well enough for the price.

    You missed the …
    You missed the infra-red receiver on the front. :P

    ExpressGate sux. I installed an SSD with Windows 7 on my G51 and it boots faster.

    PLEASE, ASUS, release a utility to turn off the LEDs.

    It’s not a speaker either – it’s the intake vent.
