Sager is always there to compete wit Alienware...

however the 2 are more established in the gaming industry since they both concentrate on this niche market...

Asus on the other hand have virtually a model for each and different market... the original G series (G1 and G2) were actually pretty disappointing... but starting from the 2nd gen (G50, G70, G71), it's much more promising, and could throw out some good performance compared to AW and Sager...

now come the 3rd gen (G51 and G73), i do hope Asus can bring out some surprises...

please share experiences how to avoid custom 'kakacaucau'.
althought IT related product is tax-free.

Anyone bought from xoticpc.com b4?
any problem like getting tax?

request the seller to declare the laptop as RMA-ed unit should solve the problem...

Return Merchandise Authorization...

meaning the laptop was returned to the seller to request for repair... thus the laptop is considered an old unit...

compare this with N61
new version N61 got 1 3.0 USB port right ??
this G73 dont have right ??
5730 compare with this 5870
5870 strong a lot ???
*
HD5870 vs HD5770... the former has double the SP and bandwidth of the latter...

USB 3.0 is pretty useless now... nothing can really make full use of it except for SSD...

oh i c......

i dont really understand WHY only SSD can be support the full power of 3.0USB ??
i though any thing that plug into the 3.0 USB port then can run faster and transfer faster ??
sorry ya noob Y.Y

nah.. there's still a limitation for other devices... as long as the transfer speed of the device is less than 480Mbps (or 60MB/s, which is the max speed of USB2.0), whether u use USB3.0 does not matter (which provides a max bandwidth of 4.8Gbps, or 600MB/s)...

so the hd5000 series doesnt emit that much heat but able to maintain their high performance?
wow thats great man smile.gif

what about cpu? any cpu can be overclocked till 6ghz but maintain its temperature low?
hopefully it will have one soon ^^ so everyone play with heat-free laptop.

so this means that the gpu temp of g73 is generally much lower compared to otehr laptops?
*
HD5000 has excellent idle TDP... iirc the desktop HD5770 consumes juz slightly less than 20W in idle... which is far better than HD4800...

6GHz but low temp???? sure can... liquid nitrogen lor... laugh.gif

i wouldn't be surprised if it does, judging from history...

by rit for ATi the spec of the desktop version and mobile version should be similar... but HD500 doesn't seem to be the case...
