    i'd say the GTS360M is better than envy 15 5830 as it has GDDR5 and 128bit bus while envy has 128bit bus and GDDR3...so asus would play better at high res.. but have u looked at best buy Asus G73? Comes with similar specs but 8GB RAM (expandable to 16GB ) and full HD screen and ATI 5870 , fastest mobile card for $1499... the extra cost is worth it... i would consider that too..

    i went to bb and played with them both and for me I am going envy cause I like the design and the size more, the asus was nice, just to big for me and its to flashy, I hate the republic of gamers crap, and the blue / red colors. Utherwise its nice.
