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 doh.gif

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

Hahah..!! No need to do that bro, I bought my G53JW-A1 and just a few weeks later they announce the new one with sandy bridge.. but i'm still as happy as ever since this laptop satisfies all my need dy.. imo, I dun perceive a need to upgrade to sandy bridge yet.. smile.gif

But if u havent made ur purchase yeah, just wait till they release the one with sandy bridge + new GPU then make ur purchase I suggest..! haha smile.gif

A bit straining at 100%, but u can always use the function to enlarge things on ur screen... like up to 125% lah, 150% lah...

i think battery is of no concern as i believe we gamers would be likely to anchor their notebooks to a plethora of peripherals.. as for me I have 20" monitor, keyboard, mouse, 2.1 speakers, 3 external hard disk, 7-port USB hub and one thumb drive attached.... i can't imagine taking my notebook out..! haha smile.gif

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 nod.gif except the speakers, go for 5.1 next time tongue.gif
*
GT660R comes with GTX 285M right? I was looking for something better as I buy laptop once every 3-4 years or so smile.gif

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? tongue.gif i can dream big.
*
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. ><

Hmm, i think you should go G73.. 1920 x 1080 on 15.6" screen is a little bit stretching my eyes.. but then you should be prepared.. I believe G73 is quite big-sized for a laptop..

you can permanently change that too. I did it for my desktop which i hooked up to my tv so i can use it from far away.

Yeaah but the problem lies in that I use dual screen, so when it's on my 20" monitor, I need to return the text to normal size, that's why its inconvenient for me smile.gif

i think i7-2630QM and GTX460M are not befitting a laptop of that price.. ><

the lid is so damn glossy >_<

anyways i see they redesign the air intake flow... i wonder what the temps are. Interesting... its definately based on the G53 case, wonder whether the modifications they made improved it.

@looking4room, ur paying for the car logo...

brand is expensive ><
