    More precisely, N71VG:
    http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=7KwyhKMnOmRQZyba


    1. 2x audio out, listed 5.1 support, HDMI... I take it that means HD audio card (Realtek)?

    2. Is laptop powerful enough to play blue-ray movies without lag? With 4 GB RAM, Win7 64-bit, and else stated up there.

    3. Since this laptop is 17,3'' does that mean I need to choose bags from 17-18, or when bag is for "up to 17" this one will fit in? For instance, is Caselogic BNA-17 going to be big enough?

    4. Anything else I should know before buying, or perhaps should not buy this model? Support for 5.1 is important for me. Then again, I see there are some tricks to get 5.1 even without 2 audio out? Oh well.

    Regarding bag: Asus supplies one, as well as a mouse.

    Does the N71VN real come with bag and mouse?

    I ordered N71JQ, but it does not come with a bag.

    Asus may have different policies according to countries; it does come with a basic bag (Targus) and corded mouse (Asus) on the french market.
