Asus A4760G-LP review

Verdict:

If you want a powerful PC that's truly portable, you'd be better off with a Centrino-style notebook. Otherwise, the A4760G-LP makes an excellent, affordable alternative to a 'proper' desktop PC.

With an ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 graphics chip built in, the Asus offers good scope for running the latest games. It managed a score of 9.9 frames per second in our Doom 3 games test. This means you can expect to run new games at medium level of detail without any problems. Although notebook computers are available with more 3D power than this, they cost a lot more (take a look, for instance, at the AJP on page 50, which will set you back an extra £500). Unless you're a games enthusiast, you just won't need that much power.

With incredible 2D performance and stylish design, there's no doubt the A4760G-LP is good value for money. It's powerful enough to replace your desktop computer, and is solidly constructed with a good keyboard. Our only concern is that the screen could be brighter and have a higher resolution. If you're looking for portability, this isn't the best option, but as a desktop replacement not only is it one of the best - it's great value for money, too.
