Asus g60vx...

i just found out that asus have a new g60vx model, i dont know if someone has covered this but im going to anyway.
the g60vx now has dd3 ram and bluray combo drive, the only letdown that i read is that it has a 1tb hard drive tats 5400 rpm but im sure this can be updated.

Does this mean the the asus g60vx can be fitted with sli's?

 

No, this means that the CHIPSET in the G60Vx supports SLI. A useful analogy would be "XYZ Tires are certified for Ferraris". Doesn't mean any car with XYZ tires is a Ferrari.

 

so why cant it be added?

 

It only has 1 MXM slot.

 

I wonder how much the new G60Vx will cost compared to the G51Vx-A1.

I wanted to wait for the G60 but couldn't hold out. Also I didn't know if it would have a 1080p screen.

I've seen that site before while deciding on my G51, are you sure its accurate?

 

I can't find any info on this besides the g60 that was release this past summer. Is there a release date.

 

Oh I didn't see that arcticle... Man I'm really not a fan of the white asus lid kind of a deal breaker for me and the price on that one? $2500! Not sure what I believe there anyway look at the poor grammer. " 4 GB DDR3 RAM is a factor that make this a more faster laptop computer than laptop that use DDR2 " Haha who wrote this a fourth grader? Either way for $2500 you could get a much better system, probably even one sporting an SLI version of the same gpu.

 

That's already been released in Australia...

Except our version only has DDR2 and a 640GB HDD.

 

so the australian version of the g60vx only has ddr2?

 

if so id rather save $700 and get the g51vx a1

 

The australian version's screen resolution is 1366 x 768. Some sites I've seen DDR3 ram and others DDR2. I think it's DDR2. The new G60vx for north america could have DDR3.

You can get the bluray player as well but I'd really prefer a 1080p screen for that.

I think it remains to be seen what the north american g60 will truly be packing. There's been no official info out yet as far as I know.

My guess that compared to the g51vx the only differences will be the 16" screen size, the white lid with no side-lights, a bluray player, maybe the hard drives and possibly DDR3 ram. That could really boost the price. If so, then I feel I made a good decision getting the g51vx. Although I do actually like the white lid but this one is still great,

I've seen pics of it with a 9 cell battery too. All in all that could really boost the price. If so, then I feel I made a good decision getting the g51vx.

Argh! sorry for the double post! What did I hit? :\

 

You can delete one of your posts if you want.

Yeah, the Australian version only has a 1366 x 768 screen, as far as I know, but some sites have listed 1920 x 1080. Maybe they want to trick people into buying it?

Anyway, I'm probably going to get a G71 soon, so it won't matter to me any more.
