you can get all the speakers to produce sound. but it won't be 5.1 in the sense that each speaker has it own output. It'll just be left and right (2.1) So that won't be surround sound since you can't arrange the 2 speakers to be behind you. You ned the 5.1 channel soundcard to do so.

So no sound card mean you waste money to get quantity > quality

latest as in, can play bf3? then i'm using that. lol

Will it be release as G55 or G54?

looks the same as the G74 to me, only the sides abit different

at least they are not integrating the battery... yet...

@jeffery, yea good to see redesign of keyboard layout, but i wonder if the casing is bigger. I only have about one half cm on either side of my keyboard... and the keys on the video look about the same size...

also since hardware tread quite dead, need ask sifu here. AMD HD6850 (desktop de) what level is it ah? on par with GTX570? also, AMD A6 processor + HD6850 should be enough to game a max, on fullHD, for most games? Or nearly max?

lol, so penang people, call up asus to arrange pickup service to send to kl center hahaha. JB technician is fine, just takes like forever...

+1 for the U3, not so much the cooling, but the elevation very good. Makes it easier to see the monitor.

I'm giving up my G53Jw... can't switch to another laptop, went browsing today, no other laptop that caught my eye and stole my heart like the G53...

Gonna build a desktop...

not selling, blessing my younger bro with many temptations hahha. Cause my unit quite headache. sent service center 3 times, when I'm in sydney if i want to claim warranty ma fan, like seriously ma fan... like so dam ma fan

So decided its time to change....

Now considering an xbox360 + cheap desktop or just power through with desktop hahaha....

weak ass gpu, high price...

lol bro, after my G53jw... i went on to buy the Asus 1215B... then gonna get the Asus HD6950 and a Asus motherboard.. hm....

Added on January 21, 2012, 3:47 pmits not auto so you gotta either judge with your eye, or use an external camera to sample the white value to see what to adjust

hm yea... tricky hhaha. Set your white balance to a fix temperature (i think florensence lighting is erm.. 5000K?)... then take a photo? then use photoshop see what value? use a piece of white paper to let the camera's auto white balance set itself?

i notice my screen was slightly blue so i changed it using the windows calibrate color.

@perfect10, the windows one couldn't work?
