    I hope someone can help me.

    I am interested in this laptop

    http://www.asuslaptop.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=G50V-AK089C

    When i searched this laptop on google not much came up, but from what i have seen the laptop model number listed above looks like this one

    http://www.asuslaptop.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=G50V-EP048C

    The silver and blue model number is not a G50V but a G50VT.

    My question is, is the laptop that im interested in look like the picture or does it look like the other one? Also are asuslaptop a reputable retailer?

    Thanks

    Those both look like older models since they have the 9700GT video cards.

    The first one (blue & silver) is similar to a "BestBuy Only" model here in the states, while the second is a standard Asus model.

    Unless you get a retailer specific model, it will look like the second one. I purchased from BTOtech.com via their ebay store. I'm not sure if they ship internationally but you might want to check. I do know that several of the Asus vendors will ship internationally.

    Hope this helps

    Thanks for replying, how will i know if the laptop is reailer specific? I will probably go to asuslaptop and check it out in person anyway, but i just like the silver and blue one alot more and would prefer it over the orange colour.

    Hi "ItZ FiNaL"

    M394byt3--does that info have anything to do with a processor upgrade by chance?

    G50 v = 9700M GT.
