Before I start with this review, I should probably notify you all that Justin Lowmaster has officially left the team due to personal commitments which I don’t think I am liable to discuss. It was great to have Justin on the team even if it were for only a short amount of time, however he has completed his writing work up to Issue #9 which The Wesimation Team will be working on soon.

Anyway to kick start this review off, I must say the Asus M51SN has amazing specs and firepower. First off it can run Counter-Strike: Source at around 200FPS (Frames Per Second) with having the default settings, just keep in mind that the human eye can only see around 60-70 FPS. The GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) to accomplish this is of course the 9500m GS. This notebook also comes with Windows Vista: Ultimate Edition which everyone hates (probably because they have no clue how to use it). In all seriousness, Windows Vista has no issues as long as you keep up to date with the updates. Enough about the performance, the real question is, does everything work?

From what I can see absolutely everything works as long as you have the time to set it all up. These days people are quite lazy, when something doesn’t work the way they intend it to, they simply give up and bag the crap out of the software/hardware. Hopefully the people that bag the crap out of Vista eventually grow up and face that its the best operating system EVER!

Enough of my Vista rampage, you say? Okay, lets move onto… THE SUMMARY! YAY! The Asus M51SN completely owns all notebook out there and much cheaper than a MacBook Pro (priced at around $1,900 AUD). This notebook is recommended for games and anything else you could possibly use a notebook for!
