the Z71V is definitely a better laptop compare it to the R50e, but one thing i have to point out is that the keyboard(feel and touch) of the ibm beats Asus by far. No wonder everyones saying the ibm has the best keyboard for laptops, its a fact.
Played BF2 and GTA SA both run very nice on the z71v, with BF2 i had to customize it to medium coz it lags abit when verything is set high, resolution is set on highest, its looking very sharp. i'll post some pic of the game later.
