Is anyone boxing or have experience with the ASUS gaming laptops. Was looking the model with the SSD, i7-2630QM processor, 16Gb ram, GTX 560M 3GB video card. Where does the 560M rank, is it a decent card? Thanks.

I 5-box on my ASUS G74SX laptop, and it has performed swimmingly for everything I need it for. Especially compared to my old ASUS G73JHs (more than one), which broke routinely in so many ways. I'm quite happy with the G74 though, having had two of them for a few months now.

I am in the market for a gaming laptop. My old Dell barely plays Swtor on the lowest settings. Any recommendations on what to get?

They're basically HP laptops, so it should be solid hardware.

1.5TB 7200HD is pretty impressive for a laptop, that's one hell of an all around machine. I'd like to hear how well it handles cooling.

My gaming xps dell from 2005 just does not cut it anymore. It would be nice to have a ssd in it but the raid 0 1.5t will be fine. Can't wait to see how it performs. It's much faster than my desktop pc.
