On order Asus G73…

Looks like this will be the replacement for my XPS1710. Should definitely see some speed improvements in graphics and hard drive access times. I pre-ordered with the following, HD5870 and Intel SSD with 500GB data drive. Has latest Intel® Core™ Mobile i7 Quad Core. Can this thing boot to Windows 7 in under 10 seconds, stay tuned.

Check out the Stealth cooling on this bad boy named Asus G73! Even more stealth is the SmartLogon and Virtual Camera.

Here are the two main reasons for me to get this laptop:

1) Video Controller
* ATi Mobility Radeon HD 5870 GDDR5 1024MB
* Microsoft® DirectX® 11 Compatible
* Dual-View capable Supports two different applications open at one time; one on the External Monitor, and one on the Laptop Screen. Multi-tasking has never been more convenient.

2) Storage & Drives
* 2 Detachable 2.5″ 9.5mm (H) SATA Hard Disk Drives – 1 160GB Intel SSD and 1 500GB 7200RPM SATA
