    after researching for a gaming laptop between the asus g55vw or the msi gt60
    i got my mind set on the asus g55vw. i like that its quiet and has one of, if not the best cooling system. although the msi gt60 might be a little better, it seems like asus are more durable.

    im just wondering if you guys had a choice between the asus g55vw or the msi gt60 which would you choose and why?

    I also debated between the two laptops. The MSI GT60 packs a lot more punch and has 2 HDD bays, but the design didn't sit well with me.

    I chose the Asus G55 because of the 2-year global warranty and 1-year accidental damange warranty since I live outside the US. Plus I like how it looks, your mileage may vary. If I lived in the US, I'd choose the Sager/Clevo though due to the power and durability for the price.

    I haven't yet, I just recently ordered mine ;) Some of the others were able to get their G55's a bit earlier (seems the European ones get out first). If you're not pressed for time to buy right away, I expect a review to be up.
