    hmn in the states the G1S has an 8600GT, but oh well.
    The difference between the two is that the G1 is for gamers and the v1 is for business.

    The best quality notebook asus has is the vx2 lamborghini.

    V1 and VX2 (lamborghini series) have the exact same quality - they're essentially the same machines. The VX2 chassis is built upon the V1, just with more aesthetic frills (leather palm rests, lambo wheel, etc, and of course, the GPU difference inside).

    That said, if you want DX10 support and SR, the G1S is the way to go for now, even though it's not built as well as the V1Jp and doesn't have as many security features.

    If you wait a month or two, the SR/DX10 refresh of the V1jp, the V1s, should be out.

    Well the config you have there is not the G1s, it is the G1. The G1 does not have DX10 support. Also, I don't know if you have specs mixed up, but the G1 usually comes with the Geforce Go 7700, which is more powerful than the Radeon X1700.

    I think he just copied and pasted the V1Jp specs twice by accident.

    In that case, the G1s is more powerful than the V1jp, but if you want better build quality go with the V1jp.

    Or, you can wait for the V1 refresh. But, overall V1 has better quality.
