I’ve said it over and over. The 9700m GT is an OK gaming graphics card, but it is only OK. It is by no means top of the line. You can imagine what I’d say about the 9600m! And with gaming laptops as expensive as these, Asus has made a mistake. They really should have used at least a 9800m GTS on the G71, which is much faster and would hold itself to a gaming laptop much better.
A good example of gaming laptops that have high powered graphics cards and processors is FactorGaming.com
I especially like their X-91 model. That baby can be configured with a 3.33GHz Core 2 Duo and TWO 9800m GTX graphics cards. That’s 2GB of GDDR3! They’re not really well known, but I found them on google and have been drooling ever since. Can’t wait until it’s time for me to upgrade! (aka, when my budget will allow it lol)
