Not to forget shipping which probably still overall cost below RM4k. That's a good deal.

Nope. Only 3D movies can be watched in 3D. If it's normal then too bad. The movie must be 3d itself. As for gaming, yes 3D works fine. But some games might suck alot for 3d. and for me, if i play 3D awhile my head will eventually spin @_@

WOO that's an awesome price man. Like what Riku has said, 4k or less for this is totally worth it. But be careful when you're making the purchase from Amazon or eBay, got some bad experience with some products. But go for it dude.

I feel so assured when I see these replies xD
I decide to go for it!
And I am actually in the US so there's no shipping fee

I see. That's an advantage for u. Bear in Mind, XA1 unit doesn't comes with backpack & mouse bundle, valid for 1 Year Global Warranty ONLY.

Anyone know why my 3d button is not working? The one with the rog logo..

Just collected my G53SX, instead of getting Abyssus (which I already got one earlier), I got Logitech gaming mouse G400.

bro, is that the new G53SX-S1208V? is it Full HD and matte display?

Yes, full hd and matte display.

i've been following this thread and i noticed some of you have gotten the G53SX-S1208V with full HD display.

been eyeing this model for quite awhile already but the only thing that is holding me back from getting it is the display

i've called up several authorised asus dealers already and also the asus hotline and they confirmed that msia doesnt have the full hd specs

may i know which shop you guys got it from? thanks alot!

ur local shop don have?

can i know is there any Asus G53SX-S1208V stock in low yat plaza...which floor and which shop?? thank you all the sifu here

Why don't you try to ask around? It wouldn't be that hard to ask.

yeah they said no fhd, though they dont have the model on display there, so i suspect they are just telling me based on the brochure.

then i called a few more authorised dealers all say same thing, even the asus hotline.

all say only the 17' model or lambo edition got only

sigh confusing..

So, why don't u give it a shot? They say HD Res, and ppl are getting FHD. Its ur choice.

hm erm, risky leh... lowyat shops won't stock it at all?

its a 50/50 for remix10. If he wants FHD, he can opt for MSI GE620DX-FHD.
I doubt they will have stock for Non-3D.

Time for some G53 Cam=whoring !
