[citation][nom]WarraWarra[/nom]Looks nice, just did not like the "NVidia GX" label so will not buy one.Thought this was a new GX740 Nvidia video card article.Own the Asus G73JH-X1 for several months now and very happy @$1500.Replaced the samsung hd crap with 2x 128gb SSD in raid0 and love it.Had issues upgrading from Win7 to XP64 SP2 drivers and all but works fine now.[/citation]

Why on earth would you downgrade to XP64?

[citation][nom]kuharski[/nom]Actually for some reason I hightly doubt they do to sites like this get info from a bunch a people like this when they can go to people in the actual industry that are up close with their customers, sites like hpinfolab.com, retailedge.intel.com, retailaccess.com provide much better infromation then a bunch of people that like to point out faults why they shouldn't buy something they can't even afford. Why I'm sure this is a source of info they use... it's very low on the list of actual usefull information. Most comments on Toms are way to extreme either this sucks or this is awesome. Considering most have not even experience the technology or even used it but relied on putting articles they read from the internet. So needless to say I don't take your work for it, most of the customer feedback I recieve at the company I work at is garbage, not cause I don't value it but cause it's useless. If this was an actual focus group and they product was offered free everyone would take it, the product is not bad cause it's 1399. That's very competative for what the market offers. Maybe they don't agree with it, but that's cause it affects their product. The computer market is so competitive that most retailers/online don't make any money on the front end of a PC/Laptop sale but make it back in vendor support in order to avoid controlable erossion and messing with the vendor prices. Apple is a perfect example of this and same with consoles too. People have a bad experience they tell 100 people, they have a good one and tell 1 person.[/citation]

Bla bla i deal with MSI products at my work that customers bring in, MSI makes half assed garbage, all there products are rubbish i would never buy something made by them in my life.

Some places don't have room for large setups, replacements work well in this situation (great for LAN parties too).

Screw 1080p, if it aint 1920x1200 (wuxga as stated above) I aint buying it I don't understand why PC monitors had to dumb themselves down to TV standards.
