lol
i think the advantage of the SB is the battery life

as in the performance is enuff for me oledi =D

lol? ahem... desktop overkill? why external monitor, might as well save the money get something like the GT660R with a lower reso screen, same specs...  i think there was a low reso G53jw too..

everything thing else i approve except the speakers, go for 5.1 next time

GT660R comes with GTX 285M right? I was looking for something better as I buy laptop once every 3-4 years or so

External monitor as I like my monitor big..! And 2 screen setup is also pretty.

5.1? I think hard to find space for that lar... haha

Sorry, the GX660. i5 something something.... HD5870m GDDR5 so... nearly the same performance, better on older games, dx9/10 not 11... 1229USD... so... slightly cheaper

2 screen setup, laptop + external monitor display?  When i switch to desktop its gonna be something like that AW prototype 5760 x 1080 screens..
or just some ultra high resolution (2560x something?), maybe a 30" dual screens? i can dream big.

At first by October 2009, I only got RM 4000 budget to buy an Acer in any retail market, then increase to Rm 4600 due someone recommendation to buy Dell XPS 16. Later, I learn about Sager for it's stable product line and it become 5200 ... and just by few month ago I increase the budget to RM 5600 after I learned the Asus G73 series which is more cheap and powerful ... but now, the new line come out and I need at least RM 6000, and another RM 500 for shipping cost

I got the money since October 2009 ... but still didn't purchase one ... i got a serious problem

Later if I choose a wife .. I dunno how long yo .. 

Still waiting for the right time to buy G53SW.

G73SW sale will begin in Febuary. 3D version should be shortly after that.

icic, well i like asus since i got an asus laptop before this that didn't let me down much for the 3-4 years i owned it..

i won't be switching to desktop. im an international student. ><

Just buy it! Don't think too much. As long as the notebook suits your demands, then it is OK.

Where did you study anyway? 

Are we going to see a G series laptop with a stock i7 2720QM?
Hopefully, there's a G53 with 2720QM XD

Hey guys , just got my G73jw-1atz .

A question pop ups when i switched on my laptop  : " How to take off the whole bunch of bloatwares "

and worst of all , it doesn't come with a Win7 disc . And there's this pop up msg " set up backup ".

I am noob in computer stuff , just wanna get a clean reinstall of Windows 7 with useful softwares.

Any sifus here can teach? or maybe i shud walk in to a computer store tomoro lol.

Thanks

Try to read these two threads:

1. Asus Utility and Bloatware Guide
2. Complete Walk-Through for Doing A Clean Windows 7 Install

Where did you buy your notebook? I wanna add your name into the namelist. WELCOME!!! 

that set a backup thing, if ur using the Asus program, will create a recovery disc. You won't get the win 7 recovery media disc, laptops don't get those anymore. need like 5 blank dvds... dual layer dvds didn't seem to work...
