Asus Announces G51J 3D Gaming Notebook

Let's be honest with each other. Odds are, you aren't a professional gamer. Neither am I. But we both really, really want the Asus G51J 3D notebook, despite the fact that the only people who need this kind of gaming power "on the move" are pros. Don't feel guilty for wanting to buy a giant, sexy, and expensive-as-hell gaming laptop. You've earned a Christmas present this year, and the G51J will look great under a tree.

It packs Nvidia 3D Vision and comes bundled with special 3D glasses. The graphics card is a GeForce GTX 260M with 1GB of dedicated DDR3 video memory. This badass rig packs a 1.6 GHz Intel Core i7 processor with turbo boost speeds of up to 2.8 GHz. The OS (of course) is Windows 7, 64 bit. The G51J has a 15.6" display, up to 4 GB of RAM, and a DVD super-multi/Blu-ray combo. The webcam is 2.0 MP, and your hard drive choices are either 250 GB/ 320 GB, or 320 GB and 500 GB.

This rig should be hitting stores in short order. No price was listed in the press release, which is probably a bad sign. Then again, how can you put a price on owning a notebook that can run circles around all of your friend's desktop PCs?
