    Than should not happen. The g72gx has a more powerful GPU and should definetely run Black Ops better. Perhaps it's just a driver issue?
    What are the CPUs in the g72gx and g60jx?

    i guess it is a cpu problem , however , the cpu in the g72gx is intel core 2 duo 2.53 oced to 2.9 , and cpu in the g60jx is intel core i5 with extreme turbo up to 2.6.

    and now i overclocked the gpu for the g60jx gts360m to 630/1800/1600

    and it runs even better now :) max gpu temprature is 85c and the cpu 76c :)

    Well the i5 is about 30% faster than the c2d. But the GPU is 15-20% slower. There still should not be stuttering, unless Black Ops is VERY CPU bound. You should try running another game to be sure.

    I still think your G72 only has a driver issue.

    My g73 is for games only and I use external keyboard and mouse because I dont want my system to have shiney keys and palm rest from overuse and I can't game wo a decent mouse.

    My g72 is for work that requires windows and a gaming station for guests. I've used the keyboard on it but I'm a slow typist and probably wouldn't notice lag if I had it. I hate trackpads so I use a mouse.

    Cheers,

    Something everyone has overlooked here that I experienced immediately upon heavy testing of the G60JX is that when you get a heavy load on the processor, any load on the gpu is going to skyrocket the temps. When you hit 91, it's going to start thermally throttling the gpu. This means it's going to turn your performance down to keep heat down. I didn't run into this while gaming unless I was also Folding SMP work units at the same time :p Furmark will also show this as you can watch the live FPS counter float in the 100s till your temp starts getting near 92 and then bam, thermal throttling kicks in.

    Yes of course you can use aftermarket coolers to keep the heat down. Also some people get laptops which have a bad application of the Thermal Interface Material between the heatsink and the GPU/CPU. You can RMA or try to fix yourself in this case.

    The G60JX gets around 10,000 points in 3dmark 06 with the default resolution of 1280x720 (NOT the default 3dmark resolution used normally, our laptop cannot display enough vertical lines without a secondary monitor). For comparison, an old socket 939 Opteron 165 at 2.3 GHz with 2gb of ddr1 with a GTS 250 gets 9334 (these are my scores). The G60 has a very new, very fast core i5 dual core with hyperthreading. The old Operton is just dual core. Video cards are the real factor here, and if fact the two cards (360m and GTS 250) are 9800GTX+ if I recall correctly.

    The G60 can play games quite well, given that the default resolution is 1366x768, which is middle of the road as far as display resolutions go. If you crank that up to 1600 or 1920 with and external monitor, Frames/Second is going to suffer.

    One more thought: Running on battery power, the GTS 360 never clocks fully loaded as it would on AC power. The core only hits 405 vs 550 and the shaders are in line with this. The memory especially doesn't clock high at all, being something like 300 vs. 1800 of AC full load.
