Hey guys, I have just bought the Asus K53SD on e-bay brand new for £670.

It has been delivered from United States.

Specs:

Intel 2nd Generation Quad Core i7-2670QM (2.20GHz) Processor

15.6" HD 16:9 (1366 x 768) LED Display

6GB DDR3 1333MHz Memory

750GB Hard Drive

DVD Super Multi Drive

NVIDIA GeForce GT 610M 2GB GDDR3 Graphics Card

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit

HDMI & USB 3.0 Ready


I just wanted to know for sure if i can play all of the latest games in either ultra or high settings?

Also, because i bought it from USA is it only the plug that will be different? Or will i have to change anything else?
 
Keyboard will be different I think. I guess you will need to pay import duty as well. Warranty may be an issue also.

Looks a nice spec laptop though.

Edit:

You can buy this laptop for less from UK suppliers. Why ebay and from the US?

Be lucky if you can play the latest games on low with that card (effectively a GT520m)

Having the @ and " keys physically in different locations is hardly a PITA especially when you can still set it to UK layout and keep things normal.


GFX though, sucky bum bum

Wow! That will be approximately £850 with customs. You could get hell of a lot better laptop in the UK for that.

Exactly.

Infact from a certain manufacturer's outlet, you could have had an XPS L702x, with a full 3D 1080p display (yes, 3D, including glasses).

Have you actually got it at your home now, delivered and duty paid?

$670 is about £422 but depending on your CC or PayPal charge could end up being £450?
