I was kindly given a free Asus VX2S Lamborghini gaming laptop from 2007! It was originally insanely expensive, even including a HD-DVD drive and a stitched leather palm rest! But is this old gaming laptop from 16 years ago still usable today? Let's find out #retro #laptop #opera

Either a Xiaomi with the MIUI or HyperOS, Apple's IOS, Samsung's OneUI etc.

    I had the Asus G1 at the time and remember this one being released and wanting it so bad! 🤣 I never got it, but almost upgraded to the G1S, but in the end, the G1 served me well for quite a while. Eventually the battery stopped holding charge and being a TA, I didn't bother getting a new battery, so had it plugged into the brick 24/7. After that, the ribbon cable for the screen started failing, so it was then hooked up to a monitor and then it after about 8yrs, it was just too slow and old tech, and was sadly retired. Thanks for the video (and memory trip) Psivewri. Merry Christmas Mate.

    I have an Asus ROG from a similar time period and almost similar design, its biggest issue was heat as the GPU got really hot and would glitch out after a while, had to modify it for better airflow as the grill on the bottom was fake (on yours its what looks like the wheel rim), so it drew air from tiny vents over the bottom. so i cut out the fake grill and pit some wire mesh in its place and it helped (although still over heats even after cleaning an new thermal paste but not as bad or as fast as before)

    Instead of Arctic, can use liquid metal if you know how to apply it. Maybe best component for improvement will be usable. But that's a theory For original Farcry, 2 possibilities : Upgrade to Patch version 1.40 if not done or there is a EXE compatible and compile for 64bit systems. Can give it a try, still work for Windows 11 in my case. Great video as always 😀

    I tried to use Arctic MX4 thermal paste on the laptops, and it didnt work well for me. after a week or so it was getting thin under a small silicone chip and temperatures was very high. The same paste works well for a desktop CPU with a heat spreader. So for laptops I much prefer Thermal Grizzly. Even their not expensive paste works well.

    Nice laptop, now that is a premium laptop from the days of old! As you state, the Core 2 Duo and DDR2 RAM will be quite limiting, and I may have opted to go for either Windows XP or Windows 7 as Vista was rather unloved. Still, it had a HD DVD drive (!), which is more than what can be said for any modern laptop or desktop. Also, as far as thermal paste goes, I still recommend the Arctic MX-4, I grabbed a rather large 20g tube of it which will do the job quite nicely. For high performance stuff, such as my HP OMEN laptop and my custom desktop PC, I use Arctic MX-6, whereas for less important stuff (such as older laptops, and laptops less critical to temperatures) I use Arctic MX-2. Though ultimately, so long as you don't use the cheapest Chinese paste, it should be fine.
