From what I heard it is not worth it, The new Asus runs very hot and has issues. Just wait til things are updated and fixed...

Your CPU is pulling up your GPU, but honestly, I would say maybe wait another year before upgrading, unless you really feel like you want a new laptop, or really feel that you can get the G51 for around 300 to 400 bucks. The only reason I suggest waiting is because, assuming you're a gamer, you will want a new GPU for DX 11, and will then want to buy another laptop soon after anyway. But again, if you really feel like you want a new system, then by all means.
If performance is the issues, it is my opinion that while the GTX 260m is more powerful than the 9800mGS, its not powerful enough to suggests an upgrade. -
I got my upgrade free from Best Buy: I used my ADH warranty because I broke my G50. Asus authorized me to get an exchange, but they stopped making the G50 - but they had started to make the G51.
All in all, I think it's an all-around better laptop. Wait a little while to upgrade unless you really want to get more FPSs out of Crysis.
From an ergonomic standpoint, however, I think it's more than worth the upgrade. -
*wonders how he can break his laptop*
-
If you have the ADH warranty, just... break it. I punched the center of the keyboard and it shattered the insides.
Then I told Best Buy that I just, you know, "dropped it." -
And noooow we wait for the thread to be shut for fraud.
-
It's not fraud.
It was accidental damage.
From handling. -
Too bad the mods don't think so.
But I completely understand, those pesky accidentally damages. -
It's not like I meant to punch it.
It just happened. -
G50 to G51 worth it?
