    They were sold out most of the week and they've just received a fresh new batch, so get it before it's gone.

    11 left as of right now.

    This is a budget gaming laptop that can handle all titles both past and present.

    I've owned this model (well, the K53SV with the same GPU) and found it exceptional for the price. I'm pretty sure it has the same build as the K53SV where the palm rest area has a aluminium finish which keeps it cool during high loads rather than plastic found in the K53TA version.

    Edit: Confirmed through Google search that the X53SV has in-fact the aluminium finish.

    Sold out already. Wow ...

    Check back daily for restock if you want one. I'm not certain if they will restock it since today's restock was the second wave.
