ASUS G53SW: $799.99 [Expired]
I ran a poll a while back, asking the readers at what price they considered an “affordable gaming laptop” to actually be affordable?

ASUS G53SX Review
The ASUS Republic of Gamers G53SX is the sequel to the G53SW and very little (if anything) has changed compared to the previous model except for the GPU, which has been upgraded from an Nvidia GTX 460M to its replacement the GTX 560M.
