    Subscribed for interest.

    I hope they have switchable graphics on G53/G73!

    Son of a gun, please don't tell me they redesigned the already perfect N53/N73 series. :mad:

    I'd hope so too, that's the significance of Sandy Bridge.

    The price is high due to the taxes in those countries being higher... a G73 in the UK costs about $2400-2500 now so in the US i expect it to be $1800.

    Boy does this new design on the N53 look aweful. Quite a downgrade from the current N series design. The keyboard... wow.

    I certainly hope that's the new G53. I was planning to pick up the Sandy Bridge N53 refresh.

    edit:

    Guess what? Looks like that's the N70..

    Hey you are right. So is this bogus (the pics not the specs)?
