how does gt 540m compare to radeon 6770m? Trying to decide between asus and hp.
It doesn't…
the 540 is about 15 % to 35 % slower depending on how intense the game you're playing is.

That seems like a very nice deal! 16Gb of ram? Dang is it even possible to use half of that?
Is the hard drive 7200?
my wife uses 16gig in her machine for photoshop, if she needed a laptop it would also have 16gig, depends on what you are doing with the machine if its overkill or not. Personally Id enjoy having all the extra ram to run VMs when I am on site to test patches or changes or just ideas I have at the time.
i'd use it to run a minecraft server :D
Ram is food for minecraft….but even then, theoretically 16GB of ram would accomodate over 100 people…
I'm looking for a desktop machine with similar specs & price.
any ideas?
Damn thats a good price!
No USB 3.0 in the specs sheet, im pretty sure it does though, I have the Asus N53SV-SX581V which is very similar and it has USB 3
i dont think that chipset has any
Far out that's great.
Pity about the 540M…
I wonder if it is possible to upgrade the GPU?
Trololololol!
no usb3
Thats nice! I paid nearly just as much for my desktop and has about the same specs
awesome deal for such good specifications that includes a 1080p screen
Called up yesterday at 1pm and they didn't have stock. Maybe they only had 1 machine per store? Hate it when companies offer specials but only have 1 in stock!
wow they picked up your call?!
just count yourself lucky you didnt have to travel to the store to find that out =P
we do have in stock sir, which store did you called? try to organise for you.
Do you still have this laptop at this price in Sydney?
No stock in Perth
Nice Specs Laptop.
and very nice price.
Is there USB3.0 on this laptop? Have read some reviews saying it does and some saying it doesn't. Can anyone please confirm?
if you want a faster graphics card - look at the G74SX for around $1299 refurbished - $1699 brand new with the ozbargain discount code. They have free shipping in Perth - Access Antennas.
The 3gb DDR5 GTX 560 kicks ass - just do a search on g74sx and it comes up in the ozbargain search.
15" is smaller, but i guess you cant fit such a high end card in the 15" models.
thats pretty good, +'ve for the gt 540m,
here is the online version, but doesnt have new price on it:

it does pop up in a banner add tho, so i assume the price is legit
