I just wanted to add in for whoever may be interested, that Asus laptop rocks. My gf got one and loves it. It rocks starcraft II and many other games without any hesitation, very clean design on the laptop, awesome sound and the illuminated keys makes for more pleasant late nights doing homework or whatever you do. It is definitely a desktop replacement, that bad boy is a beast to lug around all day unless you leave it stationary in the car or just do one trip to and from the office.
Free bump!
1600x900 on a 17" screen. i don't have cataracts yet; so mega-SIZED pixels aren't necessary.
It really is a nice laptop. I bought a few one of which was going to replace my Gateway laptop and I'm glad I did. :) I still haven't gotten my games on here yet, but I know it'll handle anything I can throw at it. I'm very pleased with it and Asus makes very good computers.Quote:

Whoah, I had no idea that laptop was able to be modified. Bitchin feature!
I have an Asus G60vx with the same CPU and video card and it's a fantastic laptop. Very solid and plays the games I like to play without any hesitation - Battlefield 2 and Star Trek Online. The card is basically a 9800GT with dedicated memory. I've had my Asus for a little over a year and it still seems very fast. This is coming from someone who will upgrade the second it seems even marginally slow.
Good luck with the sale!
Thanks! I need to get them up on ebay. I added some pics. These both have a glossy finish so it does attract fingerprints, but they're easily cleaned. :)Quote:

$650 plus shipping for each. I'd like to move this since I won't be using them.

Any update on these? I just heard from a buddy that he will be in the market for a gaming laptop in the very near future. Were you able to determine whether or not the wireless issue on the gateway was hardware or drivers?
I can get a second opinion, but I think it's the wireless card that failed. They're cheap to replace: http://www.mundocorp.com/shopexd.asp?id=21494. If I get around to it I may order one to replace it to see if it solves the problem. I used a usb wireless dongle so it never bothered me. Both laptops are still available.Quote:

Yeah that was the biggest reason why I bought it in the first place. If the video card was upgradable I would have just upgraded everything on the laptop. Instead, I came across a good deal on some G72 laptops. I do like the Gateway laptop better when it comes to feel, noise, stability, etc. I just didn't want to upgrade the processor, hard drive, ram, optical drive, and still be stuck with the same 8800M GTS video card which works well for games still. It wasn't much more money to get another used laptop with slightly better specs. I'll probably continue going that route instead of upgrading laptop components since I'm a casual gamer anymore due to the lack of time for it. PSN being down for this long is very frustrating since I couldn't even get Netflix to work the last few days, but I've been gaming more on my laptop with a few friends so I haven't missed it too much.Quote:
