Asus G50Vt-X5 15.6" laptop $899 at best buy

[A5]

1080i is 1920*1080, but only half of the horizontal lines (540) are updated in each refresh (60hz, or 30hz for the the full frame).

That's what I was thinking.

Oh..., yeah..., that's what I was thinking, also.... Yeah right. I really do learn a lot from the ATers by just reading the threads. Thanks for the info.

1366 x 768 is counted as 720p.

Still on, I guess. Maybe this is the new regular price.

i just realized that there is another drive slot for this laptop so you can have 2 HDs in this thing. I ordered another 320 GB HD to throw in since I like lots of storage.

Do you have an extra hd cage?

My laptop did not have a second hard drive cage for the second HD.

got my drive yesterday and opened up the laptop today and mine didn't have one either. asus doesn't have it in stock either. i saw on another forum where people said they haven't been in stock for a long time.

i sent an email to asus to see if they will be getting some in. no response yet.


i didn't see any other sites that sold them except for one in Belgium, i think, and they were out of stock also.

one of the other models has a bracket that looks similar to the one for the G50 but I can't tell for sure.


seems expensive too, $18.50 for 1 bracket.

you think thats bad, my friend had to $40.00 for the second hard drive bracket for his HP laptop, so feel lucky you have to pay less than $20.00.

1440x900 would be much better. 768 is just way too little height...
