I'm hoping for a little more help. I was all set to order the G51j-A1
however it just hasn't been available. I went to BB and they have the
G60vx-Rbbx05 right in stock and show the x09 model avail to ship online.
The G60 seemed like a sweet machine, costs much less and is avail either
for pickup or I could just grab the upgraded model online. The warranty
from BB is of course no where near as ...

has the higher resolution of the G51j, faster processor of the RX09. oh and it has the much better Asus warranty, bluetooth, and a better webcam. (in comparison with the G60)
Well as far as screen resolution is concerned I have the 1920x1080 on my g51vx. In games I don't use the full res. I usually play at 1280x720 or 1366x768 so I can have a very smooth 60 fps and above. Just my preference. Only older games like COD UO or Battlefield vietnam or even sports games I will use full res but lower still looks good with AA.
For normal things like using windows, web ...
for me, I like gaming on native resolution.
MW2 looks very nice on 1920x1080 and the gameplay is smooth. I just turn off AA.
I would say get g51j. I like watching HD movies on this machine. It looks pretty nice at full 1080.

They stretch it, but it still looks nice with full screen. the videos source ...
I was kind of wondering the same thing....should I order the G51VX-X3A because I know it's in stock or wait for the G51J-A1. Well I decided I would be kicking myself in the rear if I didn't get the G51J with the i7 cpu. So I went ahead and ordered it today from newegg. Although....zipzoomfly is selling it for $1409 right now if you want to go that route...it's on backorder there too though. I...
Having the exact same debate here!
Saw the G60 at Best buy and that is what go tme thinking about an Asus to begine with...I woudl prob go with teh 09 online vs the 05 at BB though.
Is it the new i7 G51aj that people are having difficulty with the "Grey Soup" and heating problems or the older G51 models!?

That is a tough choice. I think it depends a lot on what your going to use it for mostly and what you can afford. I believe the i7 will run faster for dual core applications and definitely single core apps.
1366x768 compared to 1920x1080 is quite a leap. I needed the space for software I run so 1080 was better. It is hard decision and I know because this is exactly where I was a couple of ...
By all indications, the G51J's AUO screen sucks. I don't doubt it, after owning previous AUOs... those displays are pure garbage.
My G60Vx's HannStarr is pretty good for a Laptop display.

G51J screen is pretty good, not as bad as everyone claiming to be.

I don't know, maybe the Canadian version is different when it comes quality control. Mine is the same. The colors are fine on my screen too.
