The ASUS G1S-X1 and ASUS G1S-X2 are gaming-oriented laptops or notebooks from Taiwanese computer product company ASUSTeK Computer Inc., hence their membership in the ASUS G series of personal computers. Released in 2007, both notebooks are currently discontinued. Differences in processor specifications and flash memory accommodations puts the X2 slightly ahead of the X1. Apart from that, however, they are the same computer product.
Operating System, Processor and Memory
The ASUS G1S-X1 and ASUS G1S-X2 are based on the Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium operating system.

The X2 receives two of either model instead of one, thus giving it a quad-core processor basis and consequently double the processing power. Each notebook has 2GB of pre-installed system memory.

The optical drive is a CD/DVD player and recorder with dual-layer disc and "minus" and "plus" DVD recordable format support. Also included is a 1.3-megapixel camera, Intel High Definition Audio chip for sound and 256-MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor for video and graphics.

A built-in Wi-Fi card that complies with Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 802.11a/b/g set of standards and Bluetooth v2.0 + Enhanced Data Rate technology provide the wireless networking. Apart from the RJ-11 and RJ-45 jacks for the modem and Ethernet, respectively, the notebooks' external connectors include four USB 2.0 ports, High definition multimedia interface, Video Graphics Array port, S-video output and three audio jacks.
