Darn it... Why did they go ahead and make such a pretty laptop with great specs and then go ahead and shove a crappy 4500MHD in there? For 50 dollars more, I'll take a slight design hit and HD space hit for a(n AMAZING) discrete video card in the refurb Asus G50vt-x5. Darn it...

What happened to the free Windows 7 upgrade this was sold with a few days ago?Toshiba Satellite A505-S6973 16.0-Inch Laptop - Black/Grey

To keep heat and noise at minimum... plus shave a few ounces of the final weight... plus save you (and them, too) a few precious dollars in this crappy economic environment.

Can you still return it? That was one in a long list of problems I experienced (overheating, random shut downs, sound cutting out, programs crashing...) Luckily I was able to return it before 30 days. Consider a touch screen laptop. Way cheaper, more memory, less bugs and hassle. Good luck!

I cannot, I'm sorry. I purchased this for resale. It's a pretty basic laptop, not a lot of bells and whistles. Large HDD, space for up to 8GB RAM, and a nice i5, but it's not a gaming rig. I want to say the graphics are by NVidea, but I wouldn't count on that.

They told me that the boards are either refurbished or pulled out of units that didn't sell. The one they sent me worked for about 5 minutes before it crashed. I could never get the laptop to stay running with it so I sent it back. I ended up buying a new laptop and scrapped the hp, which sucked because those were expensive computers when they were new. As far as whether it will work in your model, you can probably e-mail the sell with that question if you're still interested. They were okay to work with and were willing to refund my money.

It has been out of stock since July. There were some noticeable problems with these laptops (in design). Customer complaints about really bad backlight leaking, bent keyboards (in the middle), and the USB slots do not align with the outside shell. Hopefully ASUS tries to fix these issues for a second revision of this laptop. They are coming out with another line of ultrabooks with dedicated graphics minus the IPS screen (:-/). ASUS S Series (this month or next month will be the "official release")

this makes me feel better as I seen a number of comments that say that it wasn't after buyers checked the asus support website for the recall "http://vip.asus.com/eservice/changeSandybridge_NB.aspx?slanguage=en-us"I also have seen a number of negative comments on the perfroamnce of the laptop.I am praying that these comments are 1 in a thousand sold. I also pray that I won't be one of those "1"'s.thanks for your response

I have this computer; the Lenovo S10. I enjoy it very much. But this is not a new machine, and shouldn't be something you are waiting to receive. I would suggest that you cancel your order and order again through another supplier. It's there on newegg.com for the same price and free shipping.If you can get by with a HDD of 80 Gb, you can even save some money. If you order the model with 512 Mb of RAM, or even 1Gb, it's easily upgraded to the maximum of 2 Gb by investing an additional $20 in a 2Gb RAM stick. Installing it takes under 5 minutes.Finally, if money is not an issue, and you would like something similar with a 6-cell battery, take a look at the Samsung NC-10.

i agree with matthew and i think they sold out of their limited number of pre-orders until asus allows them extra units. they want to keep demand up and they can only pre-sell what they know they will be recieving.

Hello there ! I didnt really check that but i can say surely this laptop is the Best ! It can handle all the latest games on highest resolution !

No, me personally I've owned this laptop for about a year now, and haven't had any problems. If you do, you can send it back to Asus and they have amazing customer service imo.

I am sure many are asking the same question! @Amazon PLEASE ANSWER...btw, did you purchase the laptop??

Thanks, dude, and BTW there are laptops that don't have an HDMI port, all at the lower price range of course. Which at $369, I would include this Asus in that catergory.

Will you really notice the difference in gaming with the 6 cores? I mean, most of the games are really taking advantage of the gpus at this point. Plus, you're talking more money and it may not even be until Q3 or later this year before they appear in laptops. Just some things to consider.

That's not the same model. That's the single GPU version of it. There's a second page of models of this laptop.

I am also quite curious. Especially in comparison to the UL50vt, as you mentioned. The specs are incrementally better in the UL50vt, such as DDR3 instead of DDR2, 500 GB instead of 320 GB, and of course the Nvidida G210 switchable graphics. With the rebate on the UL50AG-A2, it appears there is a significant price difference, though. The UL50vt costs around one twenty five more. So, are these incremental improvements worth the eighteen percent increase in price? I'm not sure. Last week I didn't think so. This week, I'm on the fence, but leaning slightly towards the UL50vt. I also included the Dell 15z in my comparision, since the form factor and weight were very similar, and it had the same processor. But options can bump the price up fast, and the Dell only had a 1 year warranty.

Th laptop is fast runs fairly cool under full load considering its a laptop, never got concerned about the temp. Screen quality was fine too. All this considered i sent it back because the overall build quality felt very poor and it was just a lot bigger then i was willing to put up with.

Loooks like Asus is coming back to earth.With competitin fro Acer Aspire one they first tried $50.00 rebate on 901 which probably did not work now they dropped price by $100 on 900 and 1000 series and $50 on 16 G linux 900.They had priced these things unreasonably high.But still Acer aspire one 160 gb XP is still a better deal.
