One of the reviews mentioned that the Lenovo Y580 would be available in June. That would be about the same time as the 2nd batch of the Asus G55VW.
I just talked to Gadgetzone Andrew & he too doesn't know when the 2nd batch will be in but will email me as soon as they are. I'll update here as soon as he confirms the date.

Please share the information with us once you get it!

thank you! now i'm wondering about the heat would be a perfect laptop for my gf to do her work.

I got a reply on a similar question I asked Asus regarding their specs.

My questions was
"
Hi,
I am planning to purchase a G55VW-S1095V laptop & would like some additional
information.
1. On your website, the RAM is described as 1600MHz type. However some of the
shops here in Penang say that this is 1333MHz. Are these shops replacing your pre
installed RAM?
2. I believe that this Laptop comes with a free laptop bag. Could you send me a photo
of the bag. Does this bag have some sort of padding to keep the laptop safe?
3. What is the speed of the Hard disk provided for the G55VW-S1095V? 5400rpm?
"

I don't think I need to let them know the serial number for my current HP laptop. lol.

Hahahaha, I kinda give up asking Asus about stuff. I remember when i was worried whether the Alienware that i'm gonna purchase (this is before i ordered my G55) was refurbished or not, i actually called Dell to ask to check for my service tag. Man, the way Dell handle my questions are just superb la. I ended up asking from "service tag" to incoming Alienware models and what kinda service upgrade that they provide. Such a big gap in terms of quality service by Dell and Asus seriously.

Or maybe that guy just happened to be a Alienware fanboy..

Lol true also. Every 2 hours I refresh this page and hopefully get a pm from devour. Haih..

fanboy or not they should know their shit.. lol.. i mean come on.. asus ppl are just like typical malaysian government servant.. keep pushing around eventually you end up where u started.

So in total, how many weeks already since you ordered the laptop?

SO FOR THE 4TH WEEK AND STILL COUNTING, I AM STILL THE UNDISPUTED NO. 1 IN THE PENDING LIST FOR G55

bow to me

Everytime I give Asus a call. They don't sound like they know a lot about their own product. It feels like I'm on a phone with a trainee who just graduated from SPM and currently working at Asus hotline for part time.

But jokes aside, that Dell guy I mentioned was seriously seriously passionate about Alienware.

Ya, true story, Asus got bad technical support, last time i called to asked about the blocked vent on G55, the guy keep repeating same sentence 'Actually it is hard for me to imagine how the G55's vents looks like because we got no G55 with us to check' . :/

next time, you paused for a MINUTE. Then you whisper "girugaga girugaga.." about 5-6 times. Each time your chant gets louder and louder. Then you hung up.

that'll mindfukk him.

i think chant asus... asus... assus...asshus..asshsuol...ass.hole!!! better

wahhh. Good idea also leh

waiting king

THOU SHALL NOT DISRESPECT ME, MORTAL.

bow to me, and with the grace of gods for when I have obtained my beloved G55. My followers will then be blessed with the same gift. Hence, this will be the actual rise of the G-Armies.

ask your gf to buy the y580, you buy the g55..reason is the g55 has superb cooling solution...


....hope you accept me in your g-army.

edit: also, dont forget that fussylogic and me are the pioneer owners of the g55 army
