FORCE 16F2 / MSI 16F2
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
why MSi cheaper asus, please help me choose which is better

 

Actually, I'll save you the trouble.

Both screens are unrated by the manufacturer, so unfortunately I don't have any hard numbers, but I would suspect they are both around 50-60% color gamut. An article from About.com says that most standard LCD screens range up to 70%. If you're worried about the color gamut I'd suggest grabbing the 95% color gamut matte screen offered for the MSI.

 

thank a lot, I will choose msi 16F2 and screems LCD

 

There is also the clevo p151hm coming standard with a matte screen at 799$.

 

Prices are actually a bit similar once you take into account that the MSI comes without an operating system - take note of that. If you already own a copy of Windows 7 it is cheaper, but if you need one then it balances out to be pretty even = $1175 for the MSI. Otherwise, the specs are surprisingly identical - except the Asus has a better warranty (accidental coverage, which is pretty important and expensive to buy as an extra, and which MSI does not have) along with a backlit keyboard on the Asus which the MSI lacks.

 

I order mine from XoticPC.com and I get a really good deal:

I paid $1265.00 including the shipping and 30 days display warranty
(except for the RAM and the wireless card.)
I bought the 16GB of RAM in Newegg for $151.00 (Samsung MV-3T4G4/US)
and the wireless card from excaliberPC for $46.00 (Intel N6300)
And I sold the original memory that comes with the original purchase (6gb 2gbx3) for $55.00 on Ebay

 

I'm looking at a very similar configuration (except 12gb is enough for me) at the moment, but could not get the same price as yours.
Also, did you get the diamond thermal compound as a free upgrade?
I am not sure, but until a few days ago, there was a cheaper CPU offered as default with the 16F2, hence by upgrading to the 2630QM you would get the diamond for free. Or maybe this was available for a different model? I don't remember; I have been checking a few systems so I may be confusing another system with the 16F2...

 

How is the quality of the 16F2? good? bad?

 

MSI makes good laptops...But design... IT TERRIBLE, Designer's Nightmare ; )
Build quality is good: ) but imo ASUS is better

 

They change their prices recently. They charge more for the second hard drive. And also they remove the i5 option (default processor when I was about to buy it) and the nvidia 460 gtx. And yes I got a free thermal compound for free because I got the 2630QM for $106 more. But I think its a little cheaper now with the configuration I have. With out the 16gb and the intel N6300.

 

I'm going to post some detailed pics this week and you can judge by your self. But for me is its excellent for the next 5 years. You can compare any else where and for this configuration you pay at least 3 or 4 hundreds more plus taxes. Check Dell web page or HP even ASUS are more expensive. I love ASUS too I have a ASUS WorkStation but I cant travel with that monster. My opinion is right here right now the most powerful and cheapest is the 16F2.

I have 16gb RAM, 1.5TB HHD with 4GB SSD, 1080 HD LED Display, 1.5GB GDDR5 Graphic Card, USB 3.0, one of the fastest wireless cards available Intel N6300, second generation processor i7 2630QM for $1461.00, Check prices at least this cost $1800 in other brand.

 

Yeah, so I was right then. Gotta track the changes
I don't care about the second drive much, but I hope the diamond thermal is going down a bit more (though it was suggested that it is not really that necessary). $20-25 should be reasonable. Other good thing about this laptop is that the bluray is just $49 extra rather than $80-ish offered for other models.
I'm waiting for your review

 

Here's the pics I promise so you can convince yourself
