can you install mac osx or leopard? i dont really like windows
whats the difference between the a1 and the x3? Can the x3 handle most games? I see that its a cheaper deal.
is it good for design and editing? what program do u recommend?
@XystanceX187 Yeah true. But all I was trying to say is that GTS360M got smaller percentage of occurrence of overheating in difference of Nvidia GTS260M
@SilenII All laptop graphic cards get hot. Its a normal occurrence, due to the tight enclosed space and all the components heat. The Graphics card gets hot, but, be aware that both ATI/Nvidia make die and heatsink/radiator solutions to combat the extra heat.
Bill~ATI~
@kapucino79 no, this version G51JX doesn’t have any probelms with temperature, Nvidia GTS360M in difference of Nvidia GTX260M got no problems. This is playing laptop it is constructed to be hotter than normal not-playing laptop
@Arnarz if i got money for buy one o them I’ll chose this one. I think this one is cheaper than alienware and I like G51JX design. Alienware have design disgusting for me, but still it’s awesome playing laptop
how does this compare to a Sager NP8690? Does anyone know?
I used the 330m, I wonder if their performance are significantly difference.
@shiggityx2 where did you order it from?
This one vs Alienware M15X – Witch one is a better for gaming and multitasking ?
Live outside the US so I am thinking of what to buy when I visit NY in next month
All advise well appreciated.
Just ordered one for $787 after 30% bing cashback, $100 rebate, 5% club overstock credit, and 2% from my credit card.
@BToTech1 You miss read my post. My inquiry is: does it run hot when you are NOT playing games?
Anyway it does not matter now as I already decide and bought ASUS G73JH – RBBX05. Its not full HD, does not come with cool backpack and gaming mouse. But it is a very good laptop in par with those of much higher price. so far I’m very satisfied with it.
@BToTech1 Well first of all, its too expansive for what it is, i choosed every part of a desktop with a full HD screen : 1700€ with shipping UPS and for that i have Intel i7 930, 6Go 1600Mhz RAM, Ati 5850 2Gb Toxic, 21″5 Full HD screen, HAF 922 Pc case
U can overclock a Desktop and i got disspointed by my Alienware M17 notebook, i got bugs for example i shut down the notebook and when i restart it , it lags for no reasons etc … and big disspointment with the battery time not even 1h15
@kapucino79 they all run hot when playing games. that is a given
@vioLence777 there are many reasons not to buy it. there are many reasons to buy it. you are welcome to list your reasoning here
Can you make the leds blink? to cpu speed and something similar like other versions of the computer?
@darkbladegamer666 honestly, dont if u want the reasons why i wouldnt buy it PM me
where can i buy the one that comes with the 3d glasses and blue ray
does it run hot when you are not playing games? I’m planning to use it as a desktop replacement. So it gonna be run plugged for more than 12 hour a day.
@XenoPredator The aussie version has 8gig ram and blue ray and I’m getting that for $1980 tomorrow
