    anyone know if we get this model configuration in the US? It's called ASUS N53SN-S1280V in the UK:

    configuration:
    15.6" Non-Glare Matte (1920 x1080) (not glossy)
    Intel Core i7 2630QM
    750GB Hard Drive (7200RPM)
    Blu-Ray Combo
    8GB DDR3 memory
    GeForce GT 550M with 2GB DDR3 ram


    I look high and low and the closest is the N53sn-xr2 which is missing the BlueRay, 1080 matte screen and has only 4gb ram.... :(

    I also looked into the old N53sv-A2 but the glossy screen is the deal breaker...

    hi

    i'll pass on the N55SF-A1 because the N55 series has downsized to 2 memory slots from 4 memory slots in the N53 series.

    btw, there' re updated models with the new i7 cpu:

    N53sv-DH72 (540m, 2670qm, 1920x1080 glossy?)
    N53sn-RH72 (550m, 2670qm, 1366x768)
    N55sf-DH71 (555m, 2670qm, 1920x1080 matte)


    so i guess we dont get the best combination in the US... (550m + 1920x1080 FHD).

    much appreciated if anyone has the n53sv-dh72 can confirm whether the screen is matte or not.
