    nVidia GeForce GT 130M 1,024MB PCI-Express DDR2 DX10

    is it worth to buy this with so low a card as compared to the gt 260 and 280 that is offer by other gaming laptops???

    Lol @ first line, O RLY?!

    Anyways, DDR2 i think was a bit of a dissapointment for this model especially since it probably has the cooling to not only hold a DDR3 version but a more higher end card.

    The answer for the gaming thing is no, what are your needs/What are you going to do with this laptop?

    IMO, it's pretty much underpowered considering its relatively large size.

    Asus has always appealed to every type of segment there is out there. With the gaming front they Have the G51/G60/G71 and the W series 18" gaming ntoebook.

    this particular notebook here is really for the person that wants mutlimedia with a nice and big screen.

    I am looking to order new notebook ASAP and am considering this N90Sv B1 or the G71Gx A1. Anyone seen both in the flesh so to speak. Which screen is the nicest for brightness contrast etc. Photoshopping. I like the idea of the Q9000 and GTX260m of the G71 for future proofing and performance.
