HIS Radeon HD 6870 IceQ X Turbo X 1 GB (256bit) GDDR5 Eyefinity 2x Mini-DisplayPort HDMI 2x DVI PCIe X16 2.1 Video Card, H687QNX1G2M Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Amazing card. Thought I was going to have trouble fitting it into my case, but it slipped in with ease. Runs Witcher 2 at a steady 40-60 FPS @ 1680x1050 @ everything on the highest specs w/ ubersampling turned off. Runs Metro 2033, Crysis Warhead, Shogun II Total War, Dead Space 2, and Starcraft II extremely smooth with high or highest settings. Extremely impressed with this card. Getting better benchmarks than I've seen in reviews of this card. Will probably buy another one of these soon to run in crossfire.

ASUS G73SW-A1 Republic of Gamers 17.3-Inch Gaming Laptop (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First things first. This is the REVISED version of the Sandy Bridge chip-set. For all of you who are worried about the recall you don't have to worry when buying this laptop.
I purchased this laptop as a replacement for my old HP G60. I have been wanting to buy a new computer for some time now but had never looked too deeply into it. I originally wanted to build a custom pc and never thought that a laptop could keep up with a desktop. That is until I saw this computer. This computer is an amazing piece of hardware which manages to stay cool to the touch after hours of operation. Never would I have thought that I could find a laptop this powerful, let alone for under $1800.
PROS:
It has the new i7 Sandy Bridge which can tear through any task you throw at it.
The nvidia GTX 460M with 1.5 GB of DDR5. Windows tells me this card has 4GB total memory
Great speakers for a laptop. Never have I heard such sound come from a laptop.
The screen which as far as I can tell has about the same contrast as my 40 inch LED TV.
Can output 3D onto a 3DTV through HDMI
The keyboard has a great feel and the back light looks great every time I see it
The finish feels great to touch and does not show fingerprints.
This computer has BY FAR the best cooling I have seen on a laptop. It stays cooler than my old G60 which would power off if left sitting on a flat surface and would burn my hands.
CONS:
Honestly I dont have any cons that I can find. Just some problems that I am sure most people wont experience. After I installed virpe antivirus i got a BSOD and had to do a system restore to fix. However after the system restore I had to uninstall the drivers for the back lit keyboard and re-install them so they would work again. That and this computer came with Google chrome pre-installed. It would not open or uninstall. I had to install a new copy of chrome for it to work and now on my add/remove programs i have 2 copies of Google chrome.
Overall this laptop far exceeds my expectations for what a laptop can do. Most desktops will have a hard time keeping up with it. If you are in the market for a desktop replacement I honestly cant think of a much better way to spend $1800.
