Asus N61JQ but I don't know whether it will be available at Malaysia or not.

do notice, the spec, the only difference of it with a1/a2 batch is it comes with non full-HD 1080 LCD. its resolution is 1600x900 not 1920x1080.

Yea, its resoultion is not 1080 HD LCD. For me, it is not neccessary as I seldom watch HD movie.

I need a powerful GPU for my laptop meh... ATi Mobility X2300 choking on 1080p videos. can't play smooth 23/24fps... but keep jumping from 15fps to 23fps...

u use what player to play ur video? not all player use gpu to encode video, only certain like the media player classic home cinema

we're straying off topic. Seems like Local Asus haven't got any in stock?
I sense price war Asus G73JH with Sager with the same spec.

Maybe you can consider Sager NP8690. I think is a very good deal from Mucro Asia.

6Gb RAM, no backpack and mouse... So slightly cheaper

Sager will definitely be more expensive if using the EXACT same spec.

Another review on G73JH-A2

Asus G73JH is win in design wise, maybe ventilation.

But sager NP8690 offers better cooling solution with the x oz of copper for their cooling solution. Anyway, Both asus and sager did a better job compared to Alienware All Powerful M15x with gt240m(pricing rm6k) but gtx260m will cost around rm6.6k already.

Added on April 22, 2010, 8:20 pmNot to forget that screen is not full 1080p HD. its only 1600x900. That would be allow user to play medium detail smoothly on most games under 1600x900 resolution.

I think its going to be hard for Asus Malaysia since outside malaysia is suffering from stocks shortage.
Still, alienware is getting most attentions.

The problem with G73JH is the long waiting while NP8690 can get it sooner...

well, there's one thing about asus g series. The price drops really low when the graphic card hardware is outdating. Let's take 8600m GT. Most Graphic especially HD4570/HD5470 in market is on par with it now.

You can even get G51Vx, P7350 + GTX260M, refurbished for $740 or around RM2.4K

Previously opting for this...
I'd happy to get this spec however dell Malaysia can't get it though.

Why not buy it from ebay?

From Mucro Asia

For sager N8690 same spec as Asus G73JH will custom up to MYR7787.79 (include 0% tax).

While Asus G73JH MYR5,502.22 (including 0 % tax).

you guys buy from mucro.asia ?

If not mistaken some of the members bought from Mucro, just that their customer service is a bit not good. Not very responsive

Added on April 23, 2010, 1:20 pmYeah, Sager is more expensive but hey at least cheaper than Alienware right?

I do agree with you guys that Mucro Asia is not really responsive. I have e-mailed them twice since 2 weeks ago and no reply till now.
