Cant blame the seller, they also blur. Haha. Yes, i am looking for the G53sx non 3D as well. A guy told me that the G53 needs to be preorder la. Most stores dont have available models for the non 3D now. So if order then maybe will take about a week or two for it to arrive. But right now i'm waiting for the G55. Not sure whats the price range, hopefully it wont go over 4.2k if not, i'll just get the G53. But i'm just waiting for the actual release to check the specs. lol.

and i want to ask you guys, how much improvement will the GTX 660m be over the current GTX 560m? since the new gpu = kepler

and what if i get a laptop bag that can fit a 15" Macbook. Will it be able to fit the G53/55 as well? Its kinda huge, scared wont fit

much improvemant bro, you can check the specs too..im too waiting for the g55..dont know how long can i wait for it..and the price too cause gtx660m is gonna be expensive. theres another msi laptop that caught my eyes the msi ge60 release at may.. specs below:

GE60 (GE60 0NC-008MY)

> 15.6" FULL HD Anti-Glare (1920 x 1080) LED Display
> Intel® Core™ i7-3610QM (2.3Ghz-3.3Ghz, 6MB Cache)
> NVIDIA® GeForce® GT650 2G DDR5
> 8GB DDR3
> 750GB (SATA) 7200rpm
> HD webcam (30fps)
> HDMI, card reader
> DVD Super Multi ODD
> Intel Jackson Peak N2230 (2*2 b/g/n)+BT4.0
> Steel Series Gaming Keyboard with backlight
> Exclusive TDE Technology
> Exclusive Cooler Boost Technology
> Exclusive ECO Engine (Smart Power Management System)
> Exclusive Cinema Pro Technology
> 2 Years Warranty with 1st Year International Warranty

do you think i should wait for the ge55, buy this msi laptop at may, or buy the asus g53 at may? im so confused now.

I dont know man. Besides a new gpu, and probably a slightly better processor. Dont know if its worth the wait, if lets say the release date for Asus G55/75 in Malaysia is really that slow (july/august). I seriously doubt i can wait till that long. Cause i also hope that i can get a new laptop by May. But since the newer laptops are releasing soon, just wait? can get better price estimation also. Maybe can get better deals for the current models as well. But the G53 is already sufficient for my needs - architecture programs, games, movies etc. Im just waiting for the later model to get a better deal.

Any sifus here know the exact price for G53 when it first came out?

and i got to admit, thats a pretty sweet deal for the msi laptop. Saw someone putting them up for preorder here already, GE60 (RM4200) and GE70 (RM4500). I hope G55 will be cheaper, although i highly doubt it. But i got to admit, i am getting the G series because of its look but GE60 looks pretty sweet too imo

edit: but if you in a hurry for a laptop and really can't wait already, and the new ivy bridge/gpu wont really affect you. Just get it now. They will always be new things releasing soon all the time. And either Ge60 or G53sx, its up to you.

yes bro, the g55 will surely be higher than the ge60 and the current g53..im going to college in may 17..so i can wait till then although im pretty sure the g55 still wont come out by that day..so the msi ge60 will most probably be my choice, consider if the g55 still delays..the msi ge60 is much more powerful than the current g53..alot of things to consider bro but the main point is that the g53 is slightly outdated with 2nd generation processor and fermi graphics card..so for me, it is either the ge60 or the g55..when g53 come out, the price is rm 4199(starting price)

so..what is your decision bro, r u going to buy the g53sx? thank you

What will you be using your laptop for? besides gaming I've always wanted an Asus G series. So i guess i'll probably stick with the G53. Like i say, the current model is already sufficient enough for my needs. And i'm not entirely happy with the new gpu for G55 either. Sure, it is an upgrade. But with the price they about to offer, maybe im better off with a Sager or Msi that provides better gpu. But honestly bro, if its too long for me to wait for the G55, i'll just get the G53. Will try to bargain to get around 3.7-3.8k. lowest i found so far is 3.8k

but i will strongly consider Sager and Msi as well. Just patiently waiting for the new processor to release now

G55VW up for pre-order!

Comes with i7-3610QM and GTX660M with 12GB RAM and 15.6" FHD display.

Spec doesn't seems right, there shouldn't be any usb 2.0 in g55vw.

Probably copied the specs which are unaltered from the G53-series.

Though I am surprised they only listed 1 USB 3.0 in it.

Not to mention, G55VW manual only shows one hard disk drive bay, still this needs further rectification.

besides gaming ,i will use for normal things la..like, typing documents.movies,music..just as you, the g53 is already sufficent for me..but only thing that worries me is the processor and the graphics card will become outdated..i too will wait for the g55 to come out.but it all depends on time..where to get sager laptop in malaysia bro? please reply, thanks

He's a exisiting user since last year. G53SX has a 2.0 speaker. It would support 2.1 easily. 5.1 will needed 5.1 soundcard.

I dont know where to get Sager. I only have one friend who is using Sager. Hell, at that time, i thought it was some fake china's laptop (cause never heard of it before ma ) Hahahahaha. Maybe i'll ask him. But he's studying abroad now, so will leave him a fb msg.

So i heard the speaker for G53 is pretty bad? but is it really thaaat bad?

PM PrinceJ or visit www.illegear.com to look for Sager laptop. G53 speaker is just soft.
