    Here are the specs and stuff, stolen from Engadget:

    Eye-catching paint job aside, ASUS's new G60 "Republic of Gamers" gaming laptop may not seem all that different from the company's previous G50 model at first (or second) glance, but there are indeed a few somewhat notable differences both inside and out. Perhaps the most significant is a new 16-inch screen which, in addition to being ever so slightly larger than the previous 15.4-incher, also packs a full 1,920 x 1,080 resolution. Otherwise, you can expect to get a Core 2 Quad processor, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, up to 1TB of storage from the dual hard drives, GeForce GTX 260M graphics, and a Blu-ray drive, to name but a few expectedly high-end specs. Still no official word on a release over here, but it looks like folks in the UK will be able to pick this one up in September for £1,500, or just under $2,500. In the meantime, you can hit up the links below for a closer look.

    (I think this stuff has been posted somewhere else on this forum too)

    It'll be really cool if the Autobots logo light up. But that will make it an AW. :p

    Looks exactly like a G51...

    Yes, in the G71 thread, people say the issue was completely solved.
