    I hear it will be priced to compete with Asus' G1s. I actually like its looks better than the G1 (it looks more customized, unique).

    The GX600's screen resolution is disappointing, only WXGA, not even WXGA+.

    I would go with the G1S because of the higher resolution. The turbo button on the GX600 can be achieved on the G1S via software.

    What the heck was MSI thinking. Get the perfect spec and then ruin it by using the lowest resolution 15.4 LCD. That like building a Porsche with a 3cylinder diesel inside. 15.4inch should never build with WXGA resolution. WXGA+ should be the min for such a LCD.

    Both MSI and Acer are big let down. Both ruined their machine for any consideration for comparison to G1S by using the crappy resolution.
