bro the bag is for 15" or 17" laptop? cause i know G5 is kinda huge just want to know, cause i may want to get a backpack.

Alright thanks. May want to get a backpack for this. Materials doesnt look strong enough to hold the G55 along with other things. But i guess i cant complain

haha, yes. I'm just waiting for my G55 to arrive. And btw, i just checked with Asus rog site. G55 does come with a built in subwoofer.

G55VW specs

haha, dont know la. Just waiting for it to arrive first. Will see what kinda mouse and bag they provide.

*built in* mah unlike the g75, where you can see the subwoofer outside.

i did enquire about G53 from him before but decided to wait for G55 instead. And lurking around the mobile computing section just make me realize how bad Asus warranty is damn, i seriously hope they dont screw up with my G55.

I guess i have to spend on a new backpack as well..

there are a few owners of G55, not including two (if i recalled correctly) in LYN. So far, no review yet. But the second batch of stock is on the way.

64bit window can basically hold more than 4gb ram.

congrats to those who already got their G55

which alienware are you planning to get?

post it along with the specs pleaseee. haha

blardy hell asus..

so if i want to put an SSD inside, i have to ask Asus to do it? since it'll void the warranty

am still patiently waiting for my laptop.....

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?

watching it now

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.

exactly, pretty hard to get a backpack that i want. Or maybe i should just wait till i get my G55 and compare.. which is still nowhere to be seen........

The brand i want is either Gravis or Incase backpacks. I know incase is selling in Apple stores but not sure about gravis

Not yet, he only said stock will be available soon. If i get my laptop at the end of the month, then i really dont have to do my portfolio already need to submit to apply for unis

i'm not too keen on targus or swiss backpacks design price range should be similar to targus/swiss. Around rm300? This is a problem we'll face when buying a laptop that is too big for everything else.

Any G53 users here that can offer their advice?

My previous laptop couldnt stand my architectural softwares. Even after ram upgrades i wasnt really familiar with laptop specs at that time. Not until i joined a few forums and start researching about them. After almost 2years of toleration with lags, crash and even overheat issues. I've decided to get something that is strong to support all my softwares.

and yes, SSD really makes a huge difference but asus just decide to screw us over by putting the mSATA slot deep inside the G55. Upgrading a SSD on your own is impossible without voiding the warranty. but if your softwares can run perfectly fine on your current laptop, i dont see a reason to upgrade.

well, he did mention that stock will come this week.. not sure by how many units though.

Same here, i was looking at crumpler too. Then moved on to Incase and Gravis. I think they're reliable, just spent a few days reading all the reviews. Should be good enough to hold the G55. Materials they used were pretty good. Just worry about whether can fit or not only. hahaha
