where are you getting yours

 

I purchased my LG 65W 2 weeks ago, I love it .
I spent weeks researching for a laptop that would suit my gaming needs and also to replace my desktop. This one does it, and for a reasonable price. The unit is very quiet, plays Counter strike source no problems and is giving me better FPS compared to my desktop.
Battery life from the standard 6 cell is around 3 1/2 hours with default display and system setting + one brightness for me. Mind you that is standard web browsing and system saves, pics and words docs etc.
I paid $2750 with the 3 year warranty and shipping from Adelaide (I live in N.T) 12 months interest free from my mate in the local Harvey Norman there. Prices up here in the N.T suck the big one. Sorry, I live in the Northern Territory (Australia)
The LG rocks and I love it. I will never look back.
*Must disable the standard Wireless utitlity if using wireless network. Mine kept dropping out. I installed the intel (network card manuafacturer) wireless utility and it works a treat. (PM me for more info).
I will write a review sometime in the next day or so.

 

WRITE A REVIEW!!!! plus, what are the specs you got?

and where are you located?? N.T??? where's that?? North West Territories?? me confoozled lol

Thanks,

Anyone know what kinda competition the lw65 is up against ? I'm wondering how well this thing compares to the ever-popular z70va.

 

I have spent the past couple of days writing a review on this laptop, hopefully I will have it finished tomorrow and then submit it. So stay tuned. Keep in mind this is the LG 65W-R4ZA I am reviewing - the Australian version.

 

Take your sweet time! too bad LG isn't that popular on this forum hehe

 

Does anyone have info. or experience with this notebook?(lw65) Theres also 2 that are very similar lw65-RDZA and lw65-R4ZA. Does anyone know the differences and as asked b4 by WuHT, how this notebook compares with others in its class?

 

O all right i'll try!

Check this out pal..

I believe that the RDZA is actually for the LG LW75 model..a 17 inch widescreen with simliar specs to the LW65.

The difference between the two LW65 models (B2MA and R4ZA) is probably the video card (integrated vs x700).

I actually wanted a LW65 ..but got suckered by the V6Va....

 

oh, lolz. Thanks for the help dude. I already got myself an LW65-RDZA tho hehe xD and so far its sweet.

Oh yeh, the one that i wanted a comparison of was the R"D"ZA and R"4"ZA, they're almost identical o.o

Hows the V6Va?? have u made any threads about it .. link me to it =D

 

I wish i could write a review. Im' a notebook newbie so whatever i say is pretty much covered by the MANY other v6va reviews.

Just wondering : was there a good price drop on the lw65 due to the new duo core LG's being pushed ?

 

Hmm, i honestly dont kno.lol. I got mine off ebay brand new though. $1845

I saw it retailing for $2.4k+ at harvey normans before.
[this is in australia btw]
