Hello folks! This is my first post in this forums! I've been following many reviews and such so I decided to finally join the ranks.

Anyways, let's go straight to the subject:

I'm in need of a new laptop.

This laptop will be used for multimedia/light gaming mainly. With light gaming i'm referring to World of Warcraft.

Anyways, I've set my eyes in the Asus N61JQ-A1, I find it really awesome and I have a feeling that it will answer to my needs perfectly.

Still I wanna hear your opinions, and please, if you have this computer, please tell me every single pros and cons about it.


P.S: If you use this computer to play WoW, tell me if it can hold up in Ultra Settings, and the average FPS in Dalaran, raids, and stuff.

Thank you in advance.

The N61JQ should handle anything you throw at it without much difficulty. The downsides I've heard are that it's kinda thick compared to some other notebooks, the screen isn't as high a resolution as some people would like, and it gets pretty bad battery life. The upsides are that it's very inexpensive for its specifications, it has a USB 3.0 port, and it's got great performance.

However, I don't own one personally, so I can't tell you details about that.

I've heard something about getting up to 50 minutes in high performance, but the guy who said that also pointed out that he was running 3 games at a time.

It doesn't matter running how many games at once, some game engines stop using CPU when alt-tabbed out and minimize graphic usage, and only use up RAM. I personally own N61JQ and i must say the CPU is great for multitasking but bottleneck for games. Aside from that i got nothing to complaint. Mind you having lower screen resolution can gain your higher framerate in games.

I recommend you go N61JA for i5 540M if you're up for gaming. The JQ is best if you do alot video editing, producer stuffs.

EDIT: And it runs approx 2+ hours idling. 50mins max with gaming sounds normal. Is a 6-cells battery but many users say Asus might make 9-cells if there's enough requests.
