After looking closely at the updated MacBook Pro MD311LL/A and the new ASUS G74SX-AH71, we have to rate the ASUS the king of the gaming laptops while the MacBook is a nice upgrade to an existing line.

Looking at the basic, the ASUS G74SX-AH71 comes out on top starting with memory. Where the MacBook computer offers a maximum of 8 GB of memory, as well as the use of Intel’s Multi-Threading technology, the ASUS offers access to up to 16 GB of memory as well as to the same Multi-Threading technology.

In the video arena, the ASUS comes about ahead as it offers the latest Nvidia GTX 560 M chipset with 3 GB of independent video memory, although the MacBook does a good job with video by offering the latest AMD Radeon HDG770 video chipset, but only 1 GB of dedicated video RAM. Granted the Apple video memory is GDDR5, but still the ASUS comes to the field ready to play, while the Apple arrives sort of ready to play both in the video arena and the standard arena by implementing Intel’s 3000 chipset as part of its system software.

Then there’s the matter of heating. Both laptops are state-of-the-art and use the latest quad-core Intel I7 processor. Each also uses Intel’s Multi-Threading technology so that each of the processors can actually run two tasks at the same time, allowing multi-tasking. And, since these are Intel devices one can assume both have access to not only Direct X 11, but also direct access to the available memory.

What happens here, though, is that a lot of heat is generated and while the Apple does use a single piece of aluminum as the case for the MacBook, it does tend to run warmer than the ASUS. The ASUS case, which has been designed to have at least a five-degree tilt for comfort – what they don’t tell you is that the tilt also helps airflow, but that’s thermodynamics for you – as well as a specialized method of drawing in cooling air so that the processor is cooled and the air is then shunted away from the keyboard and you out specialized vents to make the ASUS a much cooler-running machine, despite the fact that it does have twice the memory and a high-speed gaming-oriented video chipset.

Finally, the ASUS keyboard is almost full-sized and features a desktop-style numeric keypad as well as specialized palm rests and a high-definition gaming-optimized display. (Both displays run at high-definition levels of 1920 by 1080, by the way, although the ASUS is optimized.)

Don’t get us wrong, for lightweight gaming work, the Apple MacBook is fine, but if you are into heavy-duty gaming, then the ASUS should be the choice.

In the recent past, technology has improved quite a lot. First laptops were only meant for professional purpose but now laptops are also being used solely for gaming. Gaming laptops give you the freedom to play your game anytime at any place. So, if you are someone who is always on the move then it would be a decision to buy a gaming notebook.

Selecting a laptop is not easy. There are so many features that you will find it very difficult to make a choice. When it comes to buying laptops you should keep in mind that appearances are deceptive. A laptop that looks good is not always the best laptop.

The first and the foremost thing that will help you in making a decision is its price. The price should fit in your budget and at the same time provide you with the specs you want. Once you have a price in mind, you can narrow down to laptops that fit in your budget. You can buy a good gaming laptop for around 1000 USD. If you are planning to buy a laptop with high end specifications, you will have to pay around 2000 or 3000 USD. If you are running low on budget and you are only able to spend around 800 USD, you will be able to find a few laptops in that price range, however such laptops may not be able to play todays visually demanding games.

The graphics card is a must when it comes to choosing a reliable gaming laptop. A laptop with 512MB graphics card is good provided it is a dedicated graphics card. When you are looking for gaming notebooks, you should not go for laptops that have integrated graphics chip as these are not good for gaming purpose.

The processor is the next thing you need to check. A processor with a processing speed of 2GB is good enough for gaming. Dual core processor laptops can play high graphics game smoothly. Intel and AMD are the two famous manufacturers. The only thing you should keep in mind about the processor is that it should provide good processing speed.

To make sure that your game works smoothly along with your graphics card, you need to have at least 2 GB or more of RAM. The other things you need to take into account are the hard disk space, battery life, and its weight. Lastly, do not forget to perform a search online to find a reliable graphic word.
