    Both Laptops on sale Sunday Jan 10

    I got my $100 back for G60VX-RBBX05 at Best Buy. Keep in mind this laptop does not have 4 speakers , it only has 2 speakers with low sound regardless if you raise the volume to 8 in the bios. The round thing that looks like a subwoofer at the bottom of the laptop is not a speaker, it is a suction for the fan. There are also to more speaker looking things at the front of the laptop and these are just mics. The Best Buy staff does not know this so they will say it has 4 speakers, i think even in their ad it says 4 speakers. It is being sold with EAX Advance HD but no point unless you use a headphone or speaker system. This laptop scores around 9000 on 3DMark06. Very Awesome for the money. Play crysis on all high settings. This laptop can only do 720p.

    Asus G72GX RBBX05 is not much different other then 2 gig more memory and more Hard drive space and more bulky. They both score about the same on 3DMark06.

    Both Laptops are 64 bit. Have no Bluetooth and come with no mouse.
