I was looking at the Clevo M860ETU, but I might hold out for this now and see how it stacks up... I personally like the look

Just picked up a Asus G51 at Best Buy today. I was shopping for a do-it-all laptop and this thing more than fits the bill. Specs are different than the announcements - 1366 X 768 LED screen, 2.0GHz dual core CPU. I swapped out the CPU with a 2.4GHz T8300 and installed Crysis Warhead and Bioshock. Bioshock runs maxed out beautifully, Crysis runs at 'Gamer' settings extremely well, a little stuttering that can be fixed by setting physics and shadows to medium.
I know the screen seems low res, but personally I like it. I can plug into my 25" 1200P LCS if I want something higher res - and I bet the GT 260M in here will run that well too -
How much does it cost? You'd have to add Blu Ray like I did for my N80, but a good GPU and LED screen...
