    I checked to see when the G51J pre-order was going to start and I saw that all win7 models were up already! Some of the new models look interesting in spec/price but more importantly it seems I can add the G51J to the cart and buy it... I think I will buy it right now (though most probably that means preorder heh) :rolleyes:

    $1449 dlrs, not bad at all for a gaming laptop. :) And I just noticed it comes with a free copy of batman Arkham asylum for download. I loved that game when I tried on my ps3, now I get it for free? Damm this notebook just keeps getting better haha.

    I will be making a review of this unit when it ships, I will even overnight the shipping if necesary, to get it asap! I have been too long without an awesome laptop!

    October 18th is the date retailers/dealers can put up Windows7 units for pre-order. They'll ship by the 21st/22nd of the month.

    Wow, $200 cheaper than my G71GX-A1 that just came in. Looks like the same specs. Guess I should have waited but I'm very happy with mine so far.

    Yeah, nothing wrong with your machine. You still got a powerful performer even if a new model came out and the difference is not that great anyways. At least not like the change from G50v to G50vt which was kinda big in gaming performance.

    So yeah, until 21/22 of October they will be shipping the laptop. I can't wait to test it out myself :D

    Well, I already have it preordered with blu-ray drive change.

    And thanks to the review on the front page, I am excited to get the machine :D It doesn't seem to be that better than previous G51vx, but it is cheaper and with newer technology.

    Can't wait to get it and bench all my games haha.

    Yeah! I got my tracking number ready, and the computer is ready to ship today! I should be receiving it tomorrow as I paid the fastest shipping possible haha :D

    GentechPC is awesome keeping me informed about this! I can't wait to test this new beast out.

    I will be making a review, so look forward to it! :eek:

    Gentech has the best customer service out of most companies I've dealt with, everything from their laptops down to the smallest things they sell on their ebay store. I'll be buying my Clevo from them sometime next year. Can't wait to see that review Ryzeki!

    Thanks EIement!

    Yeah I agree, GentechPC has the best customer service ever. I have been buying from them since come years ago and I have never been disappointed the least!

    Man I gotta get all the benches ready.... time to start downloading whatever is missing to test and then pass it to the new monster :D
