I am looking to replace my Sony Vaio CR120 which recently had a HDD failure. I am looking at the ASUS G53JW right now. I am a full time student who games and does some music production and mixing. The problem with the Asus that I forsee is the weight and the battery life; Otherwise it is a perfect match. Any suggestions or guidence on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
