We like:
Solid gaming performance; garish, but tolerable design; Blu-ray drive
We don't like:
Screen resolution is comparatively low; poor battery life
CNET UK judgement:
The G50 is an attractive, well-constructed laptop with decent, if hardly stunning performance. It isn't the best gaming laptop we've seen, but its HDMI output and Blu-ray combo player make it a solid Media Center machine
