Verdict: For a price of Rs.1,24,990, the Asus G74SX offers good value when you consider what you’re getting. A similarly spec’d Alienware would cost you about 30K more, so keeping that in mind, Asus offers better value for money. But they've still not rectified...

Review summary: Fastest notebook in the land?” Hmm…Asus may be overreaching a bit with that bold claim. Still, the company's latest 17.3-inch desktop-replacement laptop, the G74Sx-A1, does deliver very good gaming and productivity performance for under $1,800. The...

Review summary: The Asus G74SX is a huge laptop for gamers, but its elegant design and excellent performance are worth the lack of mobility.

Verdict: This "mobile" gaming machine really does have everything you need for on-the-go power-computing, even though it weighs almost as much as a lightweight desktop. Asus packs a lot of power into the Asus G74SX, and the system has a fairly svelte body to...
