    Asus makes some really weird decisions on their gaming laptops.

    Here is the G71-Q1, basically a G71g with a 9700gt and a quad core cpu.

    -They are basically charging $800 more than the G71g-A2 for a quad and a crappier gpu, doesn't add up.

    Here is the G70sg which really makes me scratch my head.

    -This one is also $800 more than the G71g-A2, and all you get is a better cpu and a 9800 GTS instead of a GS. It's not even SLI with dual cards, i don't get it.

    I noticed that yesterday , I didn't get it too. But you don't have to wait 1 month for the G71g
