express card slot, firewire, alot of things removed from laptops already... last time also got floppy disk

possible to use that? BUS won't be too small?

just the notebook? btw any difference if u use cooling pad or not?

i dun think cooling pad actually necessary for the G53, since the air intake mainly from the keyboard iirc

pretty sure, i rmb seeing air intake vents on the top edge of the keyboard.

oh now u mention it, i rmb cleaning dust from that area too. But either way, pretty sure the air intake not from below.

lol i think u can nearly pass it off as the VX7 ahhahaha

lol dun like the matte screen, but the color spectrum quite impressive. I think this is one of the better screen for ASUS notebooks in quite a while.... especially the brightness... must drain battery very fast.

lol me? i'm infected with summer sales.... finally got all 3 assasin creed (at a seperate time for each lol)

trying to resist the poison, especially frozen synapse. Trine i got drm free version, humble bundle (which i paid for lol) so i can share trine with friends....

struggling with need for speed shift 2. I want to get it, but I would prefer abv 50% discount. And i don't really want the pack, except maybe undercover....

Maybe i'll get stalker call of pripyat...

got wings of prey and the stalker pack, might as well store up a flight sim. Got my bro's thrustmaster joystick to use anyways... might as well buy a game that can use it and since it in WWII its even better

Which era's do you guys like? I like the wild wild west like 1860s the best followed by the 1960s the mafia era, WWII, WWI and then the current modern warfare era.

erm, is the G53SW that one a 3D version? I'm a bit blur with the naming...

Decided to be less lazy and check out lumin's sales tread.
Okay
1) main difference is the fullHD (1920 x 1080 ) screen you get with the G53 instead of the G73 with the 1366 x 768 or something like that resolution. That's probably the reason for RM400 more.
2) If boths specs are listed right, Then performance wise isn't such a biggie unless u are doing photoshop or video editting.
3) Also the 500GB probably comes from the G73 instead of the G53 cause iirc G53 comes stock with 750GB harddrive.
4) The G73 does have a subwoofer... if i remember correctly, but i'm assuming you're using external speakers so that's quite null.
5) To me the difference in size is quite significant, mainly because my bag just nice fits the G53... so the G74 would be too big...

Other than those points, I would advice on the G53Sw just because of the Full HD screen. Gaming laptop without FullHD screen is kinda of a deal breaker with me. But if you want to opt for the G73 you can run games are higher settings since the native resolution will be lower and your wallet will be fatter.

And just another thing, you can't import it? Cause getting the G53 from Gentech its around RM4600-RM4700 including shipping (comgateway) and it comes with
1) same processor
2) the GTX 560m (10% increase from GTX460m)
3) 12 GB ram (WTFFFFFFF TWELVE? lol... i didn't not expect that)
4) 750GB hdd

More troublesome, but imo if you want that extra 10% performance for the same price and you're willing to wait... then its better. One problem would Dead-On-Arrival units, then ur in a world of hurt, but so far none of us experience that, another sightly less would the power cable wrong head wahahahahah but that's easily solved.

well i prefer Gentech's website layout and also gentech had a free upgrade to 8GB promotion and had a cheaper blu-ray upgrade and hard drive upgrade when i bought my laptop. But the 'cheaper' was just a few dollars, nothing major. Also gentech replied my email first... just little things... and i like the name gentech over xotic... no basis, just do.

the onsite pickup need call the kl centre to arrange. That time they offer me cause I wasn't happy with the highpoint sc service

lol heat problems on the G53 dun have... but yea the keyboard has quite a bit of flex, not solid like the M15x one... but i got used to it...

basically the whole keyboard moves down at the point where you apply pressure.

actually even with manual switching, you might be tied down to manufacturer's drivers... like the nVidia 9600m GT.... nightmare...

M14x not such a good idea for a desktop replacement. screen not big enough for fullHD and also cooling will be problematic if you want to put something like the GTX560m in... don't approve of any card lower than the GTX560m as a gaming replacement laptop

guys, humble bundle #3 is now on sale

go grab yours now

Also nuclear dawn is a very interesting and exciting game coming up. I've been dreaming of this sort of game for years... since i was 13-14 (basically a FPS where soldiers get commands from a real person being the 'commander' Blending the RTS and FPS genres )
