I'm fore-seeing g73jh refresh sooner later.

the HD6000 series? the G53 should refresh right?

Oh shi....

Maybe i shouldnt buy now. Not like i need it's power for gaming, until 3 weeks later from now.

G73 will get refresh, G53 probably HD6850m. Still it depends on Asus to decide on it.

But the GTX 460m should = it right... lol should i still get it now?

Suspecting HD6870m will be will be based on HD6870 but will lower clock.

How much performance increase do you expect?

5~10% performance increase, but LET THERE BE DISPLAY PORT FOR EYEFINITY!!!. I'm Hunger for that bloody feature!!
I dun care if Asus remove 1 USB or VGA port.

OMG, please not the Eyefinity port.

I'll cry if the G73 refresh has it after i got my laptop tomorrow.

I placed a pre-order to the G53 back in August ... and got all excited when I got an email from GenTech saying their first shipment was coming last week. Only to be shot down yesterday after being told earliest ship date will be Nov due to hdd bracket shortage

makes me want to cancel the order and shift to something else

I thought need 3 ports to use eyefinity (3 monitors) like the Hp envy 17? 1 VGA 1 HDMI and 1 Display port?

yea gentech taking awhile to update my order... considering using xoticpc...

xopticpc offering A2 clearance stock for batches, might be good time to get 1. But I'm playing the waiting game with technology.

hahah can't play too long... wait awhile longer... and HD7000 series will be upon us. And i want G53 la... not the monster G73 (too big)

@corad... it seems xoticpc hasn't started shipping either.

why not order from US leh?

To all experienced asus gaming notebook seniors, would you recommend someone who have never bought something from overseas to buy a laptop from US resellers? Do you think it's advisable to use the service of those who offer to help you buy laptops from USA? Like this one for example: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...94817&hl=fesick

fesick is a trusty seller. So no worries. U can pm the members that dealed with him or ask around sager thread before instead of asking us.

I had the same order with xoticpc, but canceled it after they quoted me a stupid shipping fee of 295USD !

I've been buying Sager laptops with them for the past 5 years , and even with that leverage they stuck to their price while GenTech quoted 120USD.

This will be my 1st Asus tho, see-ing they have similar specs as the Sager NP8690 , but about 50USD cheaper

Thanks, but I really would like to know whether it would be advisable if I do it by myself. Though it's good to know he's a trusty seller.

Cos i did buy a sager from this cubehub B4 2 year ago and the service is the same and as good as US.So i rather order from them if anything went wrong with the shippment i can travel over instead of US.Just mine thought to prevent anything happen .................
