Re: Asus G53SW Owners' Lounge
I got my computer earlier today! I have been spending my day uninstalling bloatware and configuring and installing programs to my liking. I made a set of restore disks right after I booted the laptop for the first time, but I was wondering if I use AI Recovery Burner (the software that comes with the laptop) to burn another set of recovery disks, will this set include all of the programs I have installed? Ideally, I'd like to set up a recovery set that will include some games and other software, so I won't have to reinstall everything should something happen to my computer. Also, was everyone's G53SW configured to have 2 hard drive partitions? On my computer, the C partition is 116 GB, while the D partition is 327 GB. I wasn't expecting that, but it doesn't cause any problems for me.

Re: Asus G53SW Owners' Lounge
Just found out the sound of G53sw not really that bad, if u like more bass for the headphone when u plug it in, turn on the THX Trustudio, change to the one u like, or can turn it off if u want. i picked external speaker, the build-in one is the worst one
Btw if i burn the set of recovery disk now, will i have the programs in that set, or its just gonna have the default setting.

Re: Asus G53SW Owners' Lounge
On my old laptop, if you pressed both touchpad buttons at the same time, it registered as a middle-click. Can this be set up on the touchpad in the G53SW? I haven't found an option for it yet. Also, can you set up the touchpad be disabled if an external mouse is plugged in? My other laptop can also do that. I know you can disable the touchpad using Fn F9, but I'd like it to be automatic when a mouse is plugged in.

I am not sure about the back up things with AI Recovery Burner, if it is limit to only 4 disk of DVDs then it cannot include all you install in the computer. If you would like to backup all in drive C: and program then it is better to use the other commercial software.
I think that cleaned installation and chose the bloatware you want is better. (just my thought which is already post in this web-board., which cleans registry and the fraction of HDD)

Re: Asus G53SW Owners' Lounge
Hey,
I was thinking about purchasing this notebook and I had some questions for you guys.
Does this notebook support dual HDD? What % performance increase should I expect in gaming over the 8800m GTX that my old Sager has? What do you guys feel about the build quality (I assume it's better than the MSI alternative)? Are any one of you having the temperature problems that were common in previous Asus Gaming notebooks?
Thanks for all your help.

Re: Asus G53SW Owners' Lounge
Quick question (not sure if it was answered, and sorry if it has been), but the hard drive that the G53sw-xn1 comes with, is it a hybrid drive or just a normal hard drive?
