ASUS n56vz

Has anyone used this laptop before? It has no reviews on Newegg.
I'm seeking to see if it's good with running Photoshop, video editing, some gaming, and various other musical programs.
I've heard ASUS laptops are good and sit right next to Lenovo in terms of performance, is that true?
How is the sound on it?

It looks good, the gpu will be decent for gaming but nothing great, if you are wanting to run some decent games at decent resolution get a gpu that is a GTX.

That gpu wont get you anywhere in gaming it won't run most modern games if you want a computer dedicated to gaming build your own computer and not a laptop
But if you really have to have a laptop I would get this one, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230408

mr. Wizard, are you stupid? That graphics card will play most games at high settings. It is better than the GTX460m which is still a great GPU. http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-650M.71887.0.html It will run BF3 on high.

So I'm guessing laptop graphics are different to desktop. Sorry my bad.

no. They are the same. A GT650 desktop card is stronger than the laptop (it is the same chip, but with DDR5 and faster memory). It will game just fine.

I recomended the 670 for him that will max out most games then?

 

[wolfeking]

yes, but it is also more expensive too. And would definately be less power efficient.
