    The only 15.4" Asus notebook that has a great video card for gaming is the Asus G50. It has a 9700M GT which is a decent card but it's not really a high performance GPU, it's more of the higher end mid range card.

    well not an asus for gaming, their all pretty much mid ranged.

    i suggest taking a gander over to the clevo forums and looking into the 860Tu, which is a 15" notebook with a 9800M GT.

    Yah, what doc said, go into the review forum and check out Vicious's review of the laptop, he thoroughly went through...pretty much every little thing about it. And there is the g70 that's coming out soon with the 9800, possibly sli...no1's for sure yet though

    JHL90 seems to be a better value than the Asus G50 FWIW
