rafaelltp Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Anyone here already have the asus g46vw ? is it really smaller than the asus g55 ?it runs cooler ?I'm thinking in sell my m14x r1 and buy a g46vw or a g55vw. My unique fear of buying the g55vw is that it is very big and very heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iShox Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Hey, I've been looking at the G46 as well. The dimensions are 348 x 261 x 22 mm (WxDxH) and it weighs 2.5KG The dimensions of the G55 are 384 x 299 x 20 ~51 mm (WxDxH) and it weights 3.8KG So the G55 is 1.4" wider, 1.55" deeper and a bit thicker overall. Personally the 2.9lbs difference is the deal breaker for me. They are essentially the same laptop just the G46 is smaller. This shows how difficult it is to get to the HDD/mSata. If I do end up purchasing I will be going with HIDEvolution for 2 reasons. 1: I live in Ireland so Best Buy isn't an option and 2: They can do the upgrades for me.The only thing thats turning me away from it is the warranty. Its a 1 year US warranty so its useless over here (unless I want to bay the $100 shipping + $100 returning shipping + 21% tax). If you're in the US you have nothing to worry about from a warranty stand point. One thing that might turn someone away from it as well is the 720p screen. Personally I've never used anything above 720p on a laptop so I'm not worried. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not in the USA, I'm in Brazil I'm a little afraid of buying another 720p screen laptop since my m14x have a 720p screen and it doesn't look nice.
