Hi all,

I was thinking of buying the G53SW from newegg.
Newegg.com - ASUS G Series G53SW-XN1 Notebook Intel Core i7 2630QM(2.00GHz) 15.6" 6GB Memory 500GB HDD 7200rpm DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M

A lot of the reviews say that the laptop has a power button probem, and also some mention that the computer won't turn on immediately if you close the lid.

How common are these problems, and do you think I should still buy the computer?

This price seemed a little too good to be true, and I'm wondering if this is why.

On a side note, any other reccomendations for computers in the same price range with approximately the same specifications?

Thank you!

i have a g53sw-3de and i have not had an issue with the power button.
As for closing the lid there is some setting that determin wether it goes in to sleep mode or not. And it take the pc about 5-10 seconds to come out of sleep mode.

I Wouldnt call it a power button issue.
