M Series M17x R3 by LaptopMag (Jun, 2011)The system's speedy Core i5 CPU and Nvidia GT540M graphics chip are more than adequate for playing full HD movies; both a 1080p YouTube trailer for Cowboys and Aliens and a 1080p QuickTime video of the same clip were sharp, noise-free, and smooth.
G53 Series G53Jw by Jeremy (Apr, 2011)PROS: Screen size is not to small for 15.6 inch monitor.-Great CPU and GPU.-Backlit keyboard with adjustable settings.-System cooling design.
