G53 Series G53SX by Mr-Orpheus (Dec, 2011)I don't know about performance as not pushed it at all yet, but from the index score its pretty good, I am mainly using it for graphic's work so its more important to be fast processor and memory than graphics, but I am tempted to buy and try some of the latest games cos this beast is designed for them.

ASUS G53 Series G53SX 15.6", 2 GHz, 12 GB, 750 GB HDD | Rated 40% by by David-Naugler (Mar, 2012)The laptop itself was very nice, and most of the pro's that people mentioned were true, (powerful gaming experience, being practically silent, effectivly cooling itself down, etc.) but that didn't last long.
