    Are there any G53's with a 1.5gb 560m instead of the 2gb which supposedly doesn't do as well as the 1.5gb would? I really like the looks of the G53sx but if it doesn't come in a model that works as well as what you paid for it then I will get a Sager NP8150 or an MSI GT683 instead. So any thoughts? Thanks again all.

    All the G53SX models use the 128bit bus version. The G53SW which uses the GTX 460M does have the 192bit. It is a better performer. If you like the looks the the SX the SW looks the same. The Sager uses a 192bit GTX 560M and the MSI is even available with the GTX 570M

    Ahh I see, well thank you. I suppose I will go with the NP8150 or the MSI with the GTX570m then. Then again, I could just wait until the Sager has a backlit keyboard as long as it's not going to take too long. The looks of the G53 aren't enough to warrant not getting a 560m, at least for me.
