QUOTE(zXJaMeSXz @ May 13 2012, 11:57 PM) Guys... For the price of the G55VW, does it comes with a SSD on board? Cause here in Australia, it's $1988... but it has dual HDD with a 128gb SSD... http://www.mln.com.au/product/?itemID=3938Should I wait till I get back to M'sia to purchase mine or the price is alright to get it here? Thanks in advance  mSata provided. That should be a better deal though for Aus $1988, i prefer to opt for Sager with HD7970m. QUOTE(ykgen @ May 14 2012, 12:36 AM) G55 non 3D gets the same backpack like G55 3G and G75?!  That's standard. Its a ROG Backpack afterall. Take a look at the bottom of brochure. The terms is always there. QUOTE The models of ASUS bundle gifts are subject to change without prior notice. This post has been edited by riku2replica: May 14 2012, 09:00 AM

Gadjetzone Penang already has stock for the G55VW. However, it's not on display. You only get to see it after you pay. Any other places have stock yet in Penang? Especially in the Bayan Lepas area? I'd prefer to have a hands on before buying.

SwissPac at BJC? I noticed that most computer shops at BJC are targeted towards the budjet segment of the market. They rarely stock high end models. Better chance at Queensbay. Is there a SwissPac at Queensbay?

Hey Arvinaaa, how big is the G55? and what backpack do you use? I'm currently looking for a backpack that fits, most probably i'll be going for a 17" laptop backpack. From NBR forum, this is the measurement for the G55
G55: 14.8" x 11.8" x 0.9"-2.0" 8.4bs with 8 cell battery
doesnt really fits the backpacks that i want, even if its a 17" backpack.
And since G55 is just slightly smaller than the G53, any G53 users can offer their opinions about backpacks as well?

Haha, well i've been busy. Part time work, then went outstation and just only came back to KL yesterday. Yep, i'm currently looking at only 17" backpack. I need bigger backpacks to fit my other stuff as well. But was abit worry cause i've been looking at a few backpacks. The ones that i want doesn't really go well with the dimensions I've stated above. Was wondering if its really an issue though.. the backpack i want measures: 40 x 27 x 4 cm G55 in centimeters is 37 x 30 x 2.5 cm

Im getting the g55 also because for work. I'm studying architecture, a strong laptop (and since its portable) will come in handy with all the heavy softwares for my course. Im upgrading mine to 16gb max. Will find a way in the future to include a SSD in my laptop to improve the boot time. This post has been edited by girugaga86: May 14 2012, 01:18 PM
