    Hello..

    I currently have a G55vw. Asus has finally agreed to replace it due to dozens of random power offs. They have offered in its place, a N56JK-MB71 with the following specs...Should I try for the G551 instead? Would it be a better option?

    Thanks

    For gaming the G551 is better with GTX 860m

    As above the 860m is faster but the 850m is a fair replacement and is faster than your current system.
