    Dont have a ETA for these two models presently. Today they just released a ETA for the G70S-A1 for this week and the G70S-B1 for around the 24th of July. You will probably see pre orders starting for this model at a number of places today.

    Any ideas or guestimates of the price of the g50? The g70 is much more than i need at a price i cant afford. Im hoping it will be around 2.2 grand tops.

    Are the full specs of the G50V and G71V known? because I'd like to know what screen resolution they have and if they have bluray or dvd.

    Sorry, new here, not trying to hijack your thread, but it is the same general topic.....With the release of the G50, G70 and G71, should there be an expected price drop for existing Asus laptops soon? shortly before or shortly after the release of the new systems?

    I really want the g71v but newegg is having a sale on the g1s b2, if they restock while the sale is still going I think I will buy a g1s b2 still not sure.
