I know that Christmas is one holiday which is quite far away (or quite close in the past) but it is never too early or too late to discuss about some teenager Christmas electronic gifts. In fact, the first thing that comes to my mind when someone speaks about teenager Christmas electronic gifts is (for some strange reason) a gaming laptop. Maybe it’s because I see so many teenagers caught up in these new shooters with all sorts of crazy monsters and stuff. I know that they watch too many movies but who can blame them, maybe we would have done the same if we had so many things on TV when we were their age. Anyway, if you have a teenage boy, one gift you can never go wrong with is a gaming laptop.


If you are looking to buy the best gaming laptop at this time, that would have to be the Alienware m17x which is a bit too expensive so we have redirected our attention to a more affordable unit which we would like to describe to you as well. If that Alienware laptop is not something we can all afford, maybe the $1650 Asus G73JH-A1 sound like a better option.

The unit reviewed came with the 1.6 GHz Intel Core i7 720QM processor and no less than 8 GB of RAM. The total storage capacity of the hard drive is 500 GB… multiplied by 2. This means that you get 1 TB of free space which is going to make your kid happy because he doesn’t have to mess around with DVDs all the time in order to copy files and free some disk space. The graphics card found on this system is the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 that comes with 1 GB of video memory. If you are not sure what this means, let me explain: excellent gaming power! With 18.4 x 12.4 x 2.2 inches in dimensions and about 10 pounds in weight including the power adapter, this laptop id definitely not a portable one. The unit comes with the preinstalled 64 bit version of the Windows 7 Home Premium operating system.



The 17.3 inch display of this laptop comes in a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and it is really something else. The selection of ports and connections is also very important because your boy is going to have to attach a lot of devices to his new laptop, like a super cool gaming mouse, headphones, his cell phone for transferring files, a printer and so forth.



The unit is host to 4 USB ports, one VGA out, one HDMI port, an Ethernet port, a multi format digital media card reader and the regular headphones out and microphone in jacks. HDMI port means that you kid can attach an external HDTV and watch cool HD movie playing from his included Blu-ray optical drive. He may be using the big living room TV but I think this is going to be a win-win situation here.
