Intel 7450 CPU
4 gb DDR2
DVD-RW
Nvidia 260GTX
15.6" WXGA (same as previous G50vt)

Basically the same as the previous G50, but with the new GPU. Best Buy has yet to update their website, but from what I gathered from the geek squad and in store sales folks a whole slew of new laptops come out tomorrow. The debut coincides with the new Windows 7 upgrade vouchers. New laptops from Asus, Hp, and Sony should find their way to store shelves tomorrow at some point. If you want the updated G51, call you local Best Buy and ask them to check their inventory and not the website.

Oh, and the price for the G51vt is $999.99 before tax and warranty.

The G50 has something called direct console that lets you overclock the processor instantly (even mid game) and change the exterior lights. I asked about it at bestbuy and they said that the model did not support over clocking like the others did. I think thats false info, but in my 15 minute search through the computer I couldn't find any asus program that lets you over clock.
The processor runs at 2.0 ghz, instead of 2.24 ghz that the G50 runs at. The one at bestbuy had a gt 230m which does not outmatch the 9800m GTS at all. Kinda glad I didn't wait a month for this one. ]]>Jun 26th 2009 3:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/25/asus-g60-gaming-laptop-rolls-out-gets-examined/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/25/asus-g60-gaming-laptop-rolls-out-gets-examined/Jul 2nd 2009 6:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/25/asus-g60-gaming-laptop-rolls-out-gets-examined/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/25/asus-g60-gaming-laptop-rolls-out-gets-examined/Jun 25th 2009 8:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/25/asus-g60-gaming-laptop-rolls-out-gets-examined/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/25/asus-g60-gaming-laptop-rolls-out-gets-examined/Wheres the news about N81VP-D1??? :) The C1 models are discontinued for D1, anyone have news?]]>Jun 25th 2009 8:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/25/asus-g60-gaming-laptop-rolls-out-gets-examined/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/25/asus-g60-gaming-laptop-rolls-out-gets-examined/Jun 25th 2009 9:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/25/asus-g60-gaming-laptop-rolls-out-gets-examined/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/25/asus-g60-gaming-laptop-rolls-out-gets-examined/Jun 25th 2009 9:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/25/asus-g60-gaming-laptop-rolls-out-gets-examined/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/25/asus-g60-gaming-laptop-rolls-out-gets-examined/Jun 25th 2009 9:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/25/asus-g60-gaming-laptop-rolls-out-gets-examined/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/25/asus-g60-gaming-laptop-rolls-out-gets-examined/Jun 25th 2009 9:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/25/asus-g60-gaming-laptop-rolls-out-gets-examined/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/25/asus-g60-gaming-laptop-rolls-out-gets-examined/Jun 25th 2009 11:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/25/asus-g60-gaming-laptop-rolls-out-gets-examined/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/25/asus-g60-gaming-laptop-rolls-out-gets-examined/

If they had those specs but at 1280 x 800 you would see much better results.]]>Jun 26th 2009 3:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/25/asus-g60-gaming-laptop-rolls-out-gets-examined/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/25/asus-g60-gaming-laptop-rolls-out-gets-examined/Jun 27th 2009 11:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/25/asus-g60-gaming-laptop-rolls-out-gets-examined/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/25/asus-g60-gaming-laptop-rolls-out-gets-examined/http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9366651&st=G51&lp=1&type=product&cp=1&id=1218092150636
