I wound up canceling my order on Friday because of this. Ken expressed that there has been a shortage of WUXGA panels (sorry if I spelled wrong, half asleep) and that they're having difficulty gathering them.
I'm thinking of a Sager right now and upgrading it which will bring it past the performance of the G71GX. Although, I'm still disappointed in the fact I waited for something this long and had to throw in the towel.
-
I think I'm gonna stick it out. I've waited this long for it, what's another 3 weeks? My old gateway will hold out until then, I just hope it's worth the wait *crosses fingers*.
-
-
interesting. why are so many people buying it? i;m sure there are some similar tops, no?
-
I just can't afford to be slapped in the face in the first week because I didnt have my laptop..I'm really disappointed but I guess I'll get over it -
I can do all the modeling I want right from my dorm room, while I torrent, blast my music, browse the web, and maybe even encode some video.
-
I got tired of waiting as well, and cancelled my order. Instead, I took the plunge on a W90VP. I wanted one more, but was hesitant because of the issues some people were having.
-
I was also interested in Alienware M17x, because it looks sooooooo damn cool, so I compared this 2 laptop.
The minimum set up of M17x is only duel core, 4 gb ddr2 ram, 1440x900 resolution(not full HD), 250gb hard disk and a normal DVD-RW. And it is $2199 CAD, ($1799USD I think) If i customize M17x's hardware to exactly the same as G71Gx-A1, it will be like $3600 CAD.
So...I suggest that if you can wait, then wait for the G71Gx-A1.
As for me, I travle a lot for business and I like games a lot. Plus my old laptop had been broken for 2 month, I now share a desktop with my wife and it's really a pain in the . I can't wait another 3 weeks for it, so I am thinking of ordering the M17x and since I dont care about Quard core and blu-ray and full HD screen so much, im just gonna upgrade it to a 500gb hard disk.
I will also keep an eye on G71Gx-A1 because i can get much more for the same price -
So word on the street (from XoticPC forums) is that ASUS got a shipment of G51s (and therefore possibly G71s) in late today (Monday), so the low down is that they'll be shipping them out to the resellers tomorrow (Tuesday). I've been told to take this information with a grain of salt, and so I shall. I just thought I would let everyone else in on the info.

I did stumble onto this review today. I apologize if it has been previously posted.

According to Justin@XoticPC the G71Gx-A1 was delayed again. Here is his post:

Ok what is QA? I hope that the Q in QA doesn't stand for Quality and the A Acceptance.......If so whats wrong.
Usually we would say QC i.e. Quality Control. -
-
-
Oh wow, that's an awful review. Asus really needs to hit the mark on something soon.
I don't understand what they are doing with their product line. Seems the company is pushing to main stream commercial businesses like Best Buy and the quality is suffering . If I were a reseller, I'd be downright disgusted with it. As a consumer, my options become limited again. -
A1 is not out yet, dont know what is difference between this two. -

I was wondering, if 75008K is out already, why not A1? -

However, the T9550 has 6MB for it's dual-core. Both cores can access the full 6MB of cache. It's not a big difference, but it can help in some areas.
Yup: only multi-threaded applications.

Yup. When quads come to eMachines, that will be the day when quads are now the norm.
We just need some applications to push people to buy them, but, of course, now you have chicken-egg problem.

Anyone heard anything about the G71Gx-A1? Seems like it has been crickets for the last 2-3 weeks. I thought we were supposed to hear something mid-August. Just wondering...
