Hi

I am buying a laptop from the U.S. I need to decide between these two configs only due to shipping issues.. primary usage is working on programs like CATIA,ANSYS etc .. and also Gaming

1. ASUS G53SX-XT1 SPECS:

Intel Core i7-2630QM 2.0GHz, 8GB DDR3, 640GB HDD, BD-ROM Combo, 2GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M, 15.6" Full HD, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, 1-Yr Warr. / 1-Yr Acc. Damage

for 930$ ? I got its baby for 1000$ :facepalm:

Asus FTW man. 560M is way better than 6770 plus rendering apps do better with nVidia plus better switchable graphics. Though this 560M is 128 bit instead of originally 192, still I think its gonna outperform 6770. About battrey back up, Asus is providing 8 cell battery, so of course more battery back up.
 
Get the ASUS laptop. I was very tempted to get it myself, but then I looked at my old trusty rust bucket Acer which still runs super fast, and I left that deal alone. Its surely a killer deal, specially with the $ Vs Rupee conversion these days.
