I was going to get a gateway with a 9800m gts, but I saw this for about the same price and now i want this because the 260m gtx is better than the 9800m gts right? but i heard about the heating problem…and i just want to update it once not have to have a flash drive plugged in or anything to make it work…has asus fixed it? and will there be better laptops out by christmas for the same price? THANK you very much!!

Where do you get the BIOS to patch it?

So what’s the price and clock speed for the CPU? And di d you get it online? I can’t find the g71 online… I think I played with g71 at store. It was 2.5 ghz, 6 gb ram, 500 gb HD. Just asking if it’s the same one, because it was about $1300-1400. Also, lastly, a slightly more detailed explanation of heat problem fixing would be appreciated. (sorry, not trying to be harsh, but I’m in a hurry so I apologise).

This laptop is a monster to me. I hardly do anything on it. I really want to try out some hardcore games on it though.

if you bought one of these recently you got screwed…. i bought one and it broke after 1 month.. like 2 days ago.. and so i went to bestbuy and the brand new G72 came out and it has windows 7 preinstalled.. i got it for free since my g71 broke after one month.. and it has a better processor and it doesnt have the lights on the side.. plus BACKLIT keyboard.!!! so yeah…

As with anything man there is always something better coming out. No one got screwed for buying one of these recently. If you had bad luck with yours than that sucks but it doesn’t automatically mean that everyone will.. I have had good and bad units with a lot of brands so there you go its really just hit or miss =).
PhilipintheFlesch on October 25, 2009 at 9:52 pm
yea i know.. im just saying it kinda sucks if you did.. but oh well.. that laptop was amzing while it worked

How much does this thing cost?? Please reply.

Does this machine pump out meaty surround sound in games – such that its own speakers are sufficient ?
TheOregonRedneck on November 5, 2009 at 3:49 pm
Well good news and bad news.. took this beast into be fixed and well… it needs a new keyboard booo hiss 200+ to fix =( i’ll make a video once its back from the shop..

I’ve been pretty happy with my G71 although I haven’t been gaming much on it recently (got bitten by the car tuning bug) but once I get back from Afghanistan this time I am probably gonna sell my xbox and convert back over to PC gaming!

My asus p6t deluxe is quite happy with its core i7 and ATI 5970 2gb =) always did like gaming on a desktop better anyway hehe

Well desktops you can upgrade and it’s more powerful and customizable, but it’s not like laptops can’t do everything desktops can these days.

you gotta admit alienware looks badass. and they have good quality. but yes, the bad thing is there prices are quite steep in my opinion.
