    I have recently bought the Asus G53 JW-A1. My previous laptop was a G50 Vt-x1 Bestbuy model which is a somewhat big upgrade to go from but i'm having a few concerns with my new machine, First of all the responsiveness is not as quick as i was expecting. I know the G53 JW has the i7-740QM 1.7GHz but on my previous laptop i always used to have it on turbo mode which was 2.5GHz which is why i guess i can see the difference between responsiveness since my new machine does not have an over clock method always on. Another thing i've seen is a keyboard problem when typing too fast it sometimes does not read some of the letters i type. thanks in advance.

    P.S i have seen that the majority of the posts are regarding the G73, not many on the G53s

    Core i7 740QM is more than enough for next 2 years. so don't worry about it.

    I don't have KB issue. BTW issue is very common with G73. update your touch pad drivers & BIOS (211)

    BTW read the G53 owners thread. Do a clean install.

    To avoid the tering use the following method:

    - Go to Regedit
    - Select Edit > Find... and find this key: " 0cc5b647-c1df-4637-891a-dec35c318583 "
    UPDATE: Try searching instead for "Specify the minimum number of unparked cores/packages allowed (in percentage)." (WITHOUT QUOTES)
    - Within this key, there is a value called: " ValueMax " This value represents the % number of cores the system will park
    - Change the value of " ValueMax" to 0 so that, it matches " ValueMin "
    - You will have to find the key a few times and repeat the process for each time it is found - the number of instances will depend on the number of power profiles in your system. To do this go back up to Edit > Find Next. (I had 3 instances of this key in my registry.)
    - Do a full shutdown and power-off and cold-re-start.

    To test that your cores are fully unparked:

    The easiest way to check the Core parking behaviour, especially after you have made changes is to run the built in Windows 7 Resource Manager. You can do that from the Start, Run Menu. Resource Manager is similar to the standard TaskManager but it will show you exactly which Cores are parked and which ones are not. Cores will have a label near them saying ''Parked'' for example.

    This is very useful because you can observe the behavior of Cores while idle and under load to see whether your settings are correct or not.
