Wow, but it is really heavy though..
Anyone know the exact weight?

I don't get it..
Why is the Clevo laptop (which is supposed to be value laptops) more expensive than the Asus G55?

Clevo W150ER:

With almost the exact same components except a weaker GC (GT 650M). Is the price because of the weight?

Australia has VAT. Malaysia does not impose tax on electronic goods, hence the lower pricing.

Don't have to type in caps, it's annoying to read. sweat.gif

It's a testing laptop because it is a pre-final build sent to them by Asus. The laptops you have now are all final release products as they have officially been launched last week.

G55VW as referred to the Manual has only 1 Hard drive bay, and no sub woofer.

Seems like XoticPC seems to be offering a second drive option for the G55VW.

It seems like the G55VW uses an mSATA slot for the secondary drive.

And this would be the looks of the bay with the cover opened.

I'm sure they are referring to their 17" K-series. It's not as thick as the G-series. In fact, the G5-series's size is about the same as a regular 17" laptop.
