The Gigabyte N512 is a very powerful and versatile laptop that should appeal to a large number of people. Gamers will be drawn to this system because of the ATI Radeon 9600 graphics adapter and the 512MB of system memory. Multimedia enthusiasts will be turned on by the plethora of USB and FireWire inputs as well as the media card reader, as long as a widescreen display is not necessary. And of course the everyday user will be happy with the longevity this system should provide them. The Intel processor is fast, the system memory is upgradeable, it has 802.11b/g WiFi capability and the LCD display is easy on the eyes and very vibrant at the same time.

Gigabyte has done a wonderful job giving the user everything they need to get going. They include an attractive laptop bag as well as a small wireless laptop mouse. The instruction manual is easy to read and they provide a warranty that appears to rival the competition, although the tech support phone number is not toll-free. If you are willing to break the mold and try a system from a company not known for its laptops, the N512 is definitely a system worth checking out.

 
The Gigabyte N512 is not currently available in the U.S. as of today, but you should be able to purchase it by contacting Gigabyte via their website. As soon as we find a retailer that sells this system, we will update our "buy now" link.
