    One post was for the ASUS laptop group to let everyone know about the ASUS US debut for the Republic of Gamer G70 SLI gaming laptop.

    The other was just to general laptop users because the event will features a BYOL area. Bring your own laptop and get some perks that other BYOC games will not.

    My bad, should have clarified.

    Come on down to ROGCon and see the G50 for yourself. The G50 is a gamers dream laptop. With all the power you need and more than enough good looks to blow away the competition.

    One thread is enough, we all know about the G50vm.
    Are you referring to something other than the G-series?

    Asus will be showing off other laptops and systems but the main focus of the event is the Republic of Gamers line of products and more specifically the ROG laptops.

    I am just trying to figure out what you are referring to as the fastest gaming laptop on the market is all. Because the G-series, 50 or 70, are not.

    The G70 SLI will be the fastest ASUS laptop on the market. So I guess that should be changed to refer to ASUS products. There is always something faster from someone. My bad.
