Asus G53, the smaller version of the G73jh

So I was looking at youtube reviews of the Asus g73jh when I came across the designers of the G73 doing a review. At one of the youtube comments below the video, they hint a smaller version.

Here is the video:

Xenoni one question
is there gonna be 15'' product of this babe ?

techinstyle (uploader) @Xenoni
Yes, it is around July 2010. G53, it is called.
Stay tuned for more details Thanks.

Does anybody have any info on this? A 15inch version would be killer with a 5870. I already have a beast desktop so a 15inch would be more suitable for me to carry around than a g73.

 

would be awesome if it has the same specs as the 73.

 

It would be surprising to see a new G5x laptop since the G51JX was recently updated. Still... that would be pretty sweet.

I doubt it would have the same spec as the G73 since it would hurt G73's sales but I guess something similar to the MSI GX740/GX640 relation would be possible with an ATI 5850, which would still be pretty good.

 

Anyone hear anything recently about this? I would be all over a G53 even if it had the ATI 5850 with an i5.

 

its called the g61jx

 

Well, if they put an HD 5850 and an i5 in it they'd have a nice competitor to the MSI GX640.

 

Only if this is true and releasing soon... (daydreaming)

 

I wish they should continue with Full HD as its in G73 and do not care which graphics card they use (low price / onboard graphics will do for me )

 

There is talk on new models but the last we heard was late Q3/Q4 for ETA. G53 and G63 designed similar to the G73 and similar specs. From what has been speculated so far is when this model comes out it will have a NVIDIA GPU. The G73 will be going away from ATi also.

 

I wonder why asus would choose to go with an inferior card in a gaming laptop - fermi cards have the "right stuff" on paper performance wise but in realworld use they are going to end up cooking some laps (sup 8xxx series). Especially after the whole bit about designing the g73 to run cool...

 

G53? They're skipping G52?

 

I think it all has to do with ASUS embracing Optimus and wishing to make it standard throughout their whole line. Personally I would prefer DX11 and manual switching to Optimus.

 

Although ATI is the top dog right now, Nvidea has more driver support and more features such as CUDA. And the MR 5870 isn't even that much cooler than its Nvidea counterpart.

If you think about it, the whole time ATI was playing catchup, Nvidea made their own programming code.

I for one would prefer Optimus because it will lead to cooler temps and longer battery life. Optimus would be the successor to PowerMizer, instead of downclocking the GPU how about switching the GPU to integrated?

 

If you REALLY think about it, ATI is the smart one (building better chips and letting 3rd party internet coders fix up their drivers for them). NVidia certainly does have optimus and cuda going for them, but since cuda is NV exclusive game programmers would be foolish to fully take advantage of cuda.

And I'd say the 5870 is a fair bit cooler than the fermi cards we've heard of so far... a 5870 in a g73 will top out at 90-95 under furmark loads, while the fermis supposedly idle at those temps

Optimus is definitely cool though

 

I think ATI has a huge leg up. NVIDIA cards have not really innovated since the 8000 series, and they have had their fair share of reliability issues.

NVIDIA seems to be in survival mode right now, and while their driver support for games is better, their chips themselves seem to be lacking in any real forward-thinking.

FERMI might change the game, but in the end, they will only really catch up to ATI, who will still be a few steps ahead...

I think the big indicator will be what card sony and microsoft decide to use in their next gaming systems. I'm not convinced either company will go with NVIDIA due to RMA issues.

 

It might also depend on who is quickest to bring cost effective 3d gaming to the masses. From the reviews that I've heard of people playing Metro 2033 with 3d it is a considerable game changer. Nvidia has the edge here, already making 3d gaming available while ATI is still working on their 3d technology.

I agree though with the power and heat generated by the FERMI cards it's quite easy to see a repeat of the RROD issues that plagued early Xbox360s
if they chose Nvidia.

 

I've tried 3d gaming and I have to say, it's quite gimmicky. I don't know why it's so popular. As for movie though, its pretty bad azz. but only worth using when your watching something beautiful, like avatar. Okay movie, only thing that wowed me was the visuals.

 

I was on youtube and I found this YouTube - CeBIT2010: Asus G73JH und Asus G51Jx gesichtet

the one on the far left seems to look like a g53.

I'm really debating as to whether I should wait for this or get the gx640.

 

Hmm I guess if you like ATi, best to with the G73jh now. And then hope when the 6xxx series is released Asus will release a notebook with that also at a later point.

 

It would be interesting to see if the new cooling design can actually manage and tame a Fermi MGPU. At 100W load usage, it may be a bit tough.

 

The issues with 5870 should have disturbed Asus. Of course they are %100 right about it, sad for ATi.

The thing I want to say is that, if Asus is going to use almost the same specifications of a 17" laptop in a 15" laptop, we, as customers should be careful before buying such a thing. I've been using a Qosmio F50 for like 1.5 years - which has similar specs to 17" x300 - and it just takes like 15 minutes for the GPU to warm up to 100 degrees. As far as I know, this issue does not exist on x300's as they have 1 more fan. So the main point is cooling. Toshiba failed on this on F50's, I hope Asus won't.

 

I am very excited about the G53. I wish it would come out sooner. I love the G73, but cannot I think it is it too big and a bit of overkill in terms of portability.

 

Yes it would awesome to see how Asus would tame the GTX480 100W, they perfected this already with this machine, amazing cooling. But time will only tell. See why sometimes it just better to buy things like the G73JH than buy expensive stuff. I don't like Optimus too much It is not that exciting, sometimes we all prefer the switch but it does make it easier with the drivers, when it comes to switchable graphics. CUDA is going to die eventually, CL is going to lead the charge with ATI, its really unfair not to have the support for Phys x with certain games. Sometimes i also want to go back to Nvidia but i am enjoying so much power and fun with this amazing single GPU.

 

So Freedom16, U haven't experienced any GSODs with the 10.3 or 10.4 drivers I take it?

 

If they are going to make a G53, they better fix the cooling problems or add a faster fan. My G51Jx-A1 at stock is getting the GPU to around 90 degrees. They should really consider people living in tropical climates. I live in Singapore, where temperatures stay constant at 30-31 with humidity at around 85%!

 

Not all FERMI MGPU's are going to be rated at 100w, that's just the 480GTX and I doubt we will see that in a 15" laptop anytime soon.
Some sites have listed a another GTX 360/380 now those will most likely be in a smaller notebook and use less power.
I could see the G53 using one of those and that would be awseome!

 

Most likely not as awesome as an HD 5870, though.

 

Nice to see that asus will go green again. Im looking foward for refresh of their 15'' G chasis, i would love to see a dual cooler setup on 15'', probably wont see a pure GTX480m on it, but as with 260m and underclocked version, but im fine with that, as long as it can compete with 5870.

I guess time to start saving for Q3 upgrade.... but.... i kinda would like to get sandy bridge in also

 

Totaly agree the G series chasis while good needs a refresh and this would be a good direction to go in.

 

Enjoy your terrible cooling.

 

Optimus/Switchable might open a chance for a high powered demanding fermi version, i mean if there are dual gpu (one bieng a intel low powered), then it could be fine to have high demanding gpu just resting for when you go into gaming. Then just gona be a matter of delaing with the heat... but more agresive fan thresholds and dual coolers might work, either way fun time are coming, and my wallet is gona suffer

 

Thanks!
If the G53 is anything like it's bigger brother I see no problems with the cooling.

 

Good news, as this provides an upgrade path for g73jh users ... if asus continues the chassis and adds nvidia, perhaps we can do our own video card upgrades in 2-3 years.

 

Upgrading is not easy in the G73, hopefully the G53 is a little more upgradable without having to take the whole laptop apart.

 

Any source to prove that the G53 will be release in the near future?

 

You won't find any. Wait for Computex or E3 2010 is my advice.

 

Heh, I live in southern canada, and it was the same for my g51(s)...

Yeah, but it's also a 17 inch laptop; LOTS of room to work with, much easier to disassemble/reassemble than the HP netbooks...

 

The longer ASUS waits to release any details, the more customers they lose to Alienware and Clevo.

 

Maybe they are awaiting to fix all the G73 quirks first

 

Nothing set in stone but if XoticPC says there were rumblings of a newer model there must be something to it.

 

I doubt that. The reason is because the people that typically buy Asus machines are already on a budget and Alienware is out of their spending range. Though there's something a lot of people aren't aware of and that is Dell offers significant discounts on it's products (up to 20% or more), just gotta know how to play the bargaining game.

 

Looks like vikingrinn found some more news about some smaller versions of the g73

Interesting!
Not sold on 3D gaming yet, seems to gimmicky.
Nice find.

 

Asus Gearing 3D Mini-Laptop Gamer at Alienware 11x | My Laptop

Asus looks set to launch a smaller version of the Asus ROG G73JH gaming laptop and add a little more to its gaming process by packing in a 3D screen? Read on to find out more about the Asus Republic of Gamers (ROG) mini-laptop with 3D display.

Asus looks set to cause a gaming stir over the next few days as it’s set to announce a host of new laptops as part of Computex 2010. However, it looks like ‘gaming on the go’ is high on the agenda as the photo above can attest to.

Posted on TechInStyle, the Asus UK official blog, is a rather tantalising (read blurry) image of an as yet unannounced gaming laptop. Asus isn’t giving too much away other than it will have the same Stealth Fighter styling as its current Republic of Gamers (ROG) laptop, the 17.3-inch Asus ROG G73JH but will come with a smaller screen, making it far more portable.

So far so expected. However, there is another little twist to the story as they’ve posted ‘you’ll see a new side to games and movies on this display, if you know what we mean’, which can only be a reference to 3D coming to the ROG line-up as already seen on the 15.6-inch Asus G51J 3D laptop.

Now, this could make the Asus 3D mini-laptop a real game changer. For Asus to make a real impact with a new 3D mini-laptop it will need to go head-to-head with the Alienware 11x, which is currently the world’s smallest fully-fledged gaming laptop.

There are no other details of the new Asus 3D mini-laptop at this time other than all will be revealed on the 31st May as Asus will officially unveil this mini-marvel at Computex 2010. What do you think, will Asus launched a laptop to rival the Alienware 11x and if so, what do you want to see powering it? Let us know what you think in the Comments below.

Will be interested to see this new 15 inch G73. I would definatly be interested in a powerful more mobile version of the g73. I guess we will find out on May 31 whats going to be comeing out.

 

Smaller version, yes.
3D on a small screen, no.
I still think 3D gaming is just a gimmick and is poorly done, people will go blind on a much smaller screen.

 

do ppl have to buy 3d specific games??? or will everything you play be in 3d mode??? If so, i dont think there are that many 3d games out.. Also will it be able to play those new 3d movies that are starting to come out?

Also I think those glasses probably cost an arm and a leg.

 

From what I understand you can play any game and movie in 3D, you just need the glasses to get the 3D effect.
And if you already were glasses.... well you understand.

 

You also need a monitor that supports 120Hz refresh rate. I've tried running COD4 on 3D on my Samsung HDTV (60Hz) and it was just a complete mess.

 

I actually send my feedback/suggest/request to asus about the smaller g73. 3 weeks ago.

With that said, I'm looking forward to it. I hope they have the low-tech 2d version instead of the gimmicky 3D.

 

I agree I hope they have the 2d version,, and they make it look the same as its bigger brother, with the stealth look and the rubberized matte black.

I love the g73, but I think I would love a more portable version even better.

Actually I was thinking, would they still be able to squeeze two HD's in there, the ati 5870 and still maintain efficient cooling?? with a 15" model?

as much as I love the 17" model, I would love the 15" even more, 15"ers are just more practical for hanging out on the patio web browsing etc.... I just like the fact the 15" is more portable and I will be willing to bring it more places. a 17" i just dont have the desire to even unplug it from the desk.
