What about the 5870m on the g73jh from ASUS. Any thoughts in that one?? Obviously it's pretty powerful but can it compare to the GTX 280m or even the 260m??

http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/278396-15-280m-5870-mobilityGTX 280m:
-Best gaming performance
5870m:
-Similar gaming performance
-Uses MUCH less power so more battery life.
-Has DirectX 11, and since you cannot upgrade the GPU in a laptop the GPU will have to last you awhile so DX11 is important.
-Runs far cooler. This can ensure that no damage comes to your laptop with improper maintenance.
-No SLI drivers, which were pretty bad on the laptops not too long ago. Research this one yourself as it might have changed.
