I was 100% sold on the new NP700Z7CH from Samsung, but Asus just released this :

Store:
ASUS N76VZ-DS71 17.3" Notebook. ASUS N76VZ-DS71

Very Very similar specs. Looks like the Asus will be cheaper a bit, but a little thicker. It's hard to find reviews on the new Asus.

Any opinions?

Asus:
16.3" x 11.0" x 1.3"
7.6 lbs
runs on gddr3 650m,
6 cell battery
i7 3610QM

Samsung:
15.9 x 10.3 inches x 1
6.3 pounds
Gddr5 650m,
8 cell
i7 3615QM

So the samsung is not only lighter, but smaller, faster and has better battery life.

Also the samesung is $1400 on amazon.com. Not bad for $50 more^_-

Hmm, I just noticed the diff numbers in the Proc. How is the 3615QM different than the 3610? I noticed they both run at 2.3

The IGP runs at a slightly higher stock speed on the 3615QM.
That's the only difference, difference is minimal.
