I just have to laugh at some of these comments, its hilarious... ASUS offers almost identical software on their gaming laptops, look at the g71 and models similar. They all have over clocking technology. The laptops run at a standard configuration that would come just like in a desktop pc you build yourself. The overclocking is increasing the frequencies that the transistors can handle, most hardware is capable of some overclocking with minimal damage, in the case of the new I7 chips they can actually overclock a chip fairly high with out premature ware. If any of you people know anything about msi is that they have always offered amazingly fast graphics cards with overclocking on them and still cover it under warranty, Asus offers very similar features on their cards as well. Two companies that don't cheap out on their products like dell, hp, sony, acer, and many others. To all the people building gaming desktops for around $1200-$1600 im going to laugh again... that must be a very cheap low end gaming pc then... a decent gaming rig should range about 2200-3000 with good case and high end overclockable parts and fast ram and cpu.
