    I am trying to buy a laptop with high performance. I almost decided to buy G73SW-XN2 from Newegg ( Newegg.com - ASUS G Series G73SW-XN2 Notebook Intel Core i7 2630QM(2.00GHz) 17.3" 8GB Memory DDR3 1333 500GB HDD 7200rpm DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M).
    Then, I found a cheaper G73. It was G73-XN1. This is not G73-XR1 or G73-XT1. You can check it in here ( Buy.com - G73SW-XN1 CI7/2.0 17.3 8G-500GB DVDR CAM W7HP 64).
    I could find most of specifications for this laptop on the sale page of some online retailer. But I can not find the display resolution and hard drive speed (rpm). Can any one help me on these?

    Thank you ;)

    The screen is definitely 1920 x 1080, since the smaller 1680 x 1050 is 16:10, not 16:9.

    The HDD speed is probably 7200RPM. ASUS usually doesn't put low capacity drive in a high priced laptop like this without increasing its performance.

    EDIT:
    Correction, the screen is more likely to be 1600 x 900, and the HDD is more likely to be 500GB w/ 5400RPM.
