which one it the better choice???
Could you guys recommend any other notebook in the R7000-R7500 price range that offer a better bang for the buck???
 
One of my buddies has the Asus - he's pretty happy with it! And it's got better graphics than the GB... and I'd trust a Asus more than a GB...

If you want to you can strip out the 250GB and replace it with a 500GB & sell the 250GB in an external casing!

im also pretty keen on the ASUS seeing as it has a full keaboard as well. Just wondering if i would miss that HDMI input and the esata port?!
 
eSATA plus a 500GB external 2.5" will be sweet.

Come to think of it, will the eSATA power the external unit??
 
Depends on what u need it for...the gigabyte has better specs except for gfx, but that gfx aint so great...

for 7.4k u can get the levono on special! it'll whip both these lappies, and originally 12k its the best special I've seen this year
