ASUS is ready to release five new laptops using Intel’s latest. The first is a gaming rig, the G73SW. It has an Intel Core i7-2630QM processor, 8GB of DDR3, Geforce GTX 460M graphics, USB 3.0, dual storage bays, and a 17.3-inch LCD with 1920 x 1080 resolution. It should start around $2,500.

Then there are the four less gamer-oriented models in the N53SV and N73SV series. All feature the same 2GHz processor and all have the new GeForce GT 540M processor and either a 15.6-inch, 1366 x 768 display or the larger 17.3-inch, 1080p display depending on the model.

Prices are said to start at just $1,200 and go way up from there. They will ship in January.
