    Check out page 11 of this document from Computex 2010:
    Computex 2010

    From what I can tell it will have:
    -Intel's Calpella platform
    - GTS 350m GDDR5 Nvidia graphics (still 96 shaders @40nm, like the 360m, but with DX11 it seems. Perhaps higher clocks than the 360m?)
    -120Hz 3D screen
    -Max 16GB RAM (does this mean only one HDD slot?)


    The style is definitely similar to the G73, but it seems to lack a few buttons. Looks like perhaps OC + something buttons up top, and then power. That's it.

    Also found more details here: http://techinstyle.tv/products/laptops-netbooks/game-on-the-go-with-the-asus-rog-g53/. Looks to be a bit of a letdown, but its style looks awesome.

    I wonder how cooling works? The 350m can't generate that much more heat than a 360m... is it just one fan?

    EDIT: Crap, I totally skipped over page 6 in the G53 thread... Sorry: http://forum.notebookreview.com/asus/475808-asus-g53-smaller-version-g73jh-6.html#post6304044
