Just wanted to give you all alittle first impression on the new ASUS G75 with 3rd generation i7 Ivy-Bridge!!!!, it came out may 1st, i picked it up at best buy its a gaming specific laptop so far I am very impressed, the laptop runs very cool even after playing world of warcraft and diablo 3 for SEVERAL hours. I was turned off of laptops for gaming until this one came out, they use the Kepler chip which makes the graphics card run very cool! and use less energy! I do have it on a zalman laptop cooler as well though. for those that dont know these are the specs...

•Long battery life
Of up to 4 hours and 36 minutes to give you more time away from an outlet.
From a gaming aspect, it has a matte screen (YAY!) It rocks skyrim on "recommended" ULTRA settings. Diablo 3 maxed out sits pretty at around 150fps, world of warcraft on ultra at 170-230fps(even in SW & Org), has a fan under the case that you can open up take the filter off and clean it, mega cool! also has a timer on the laptop to remind you to check the fan filter.
Has a subwoofer on the bottom as well! I've never seen a laptop with a subwoofer LOL its awesome, so awesome sometimes i get scared when i kill a beast and it vibrates haha!!! people have complained about the speakers but i love them so far.
Has a backlit keyboard which is great since I have a night schedule and am always playing in the dark! I did get the 2 year black tie plan plus the tech support (they give u a new battery and ac adaptor after the first year free!!) for a great deal also includes accidental protection!
The laptop is blazing fast, not too heavy, and the track pad is multi touch!! I honestly dont know how they are selling the laptop at best buy for $1249.00 that is a killer deal for this laptop, so if you game check this bad boy out! I am LOVING it.
