Several new ASUS laptops are now available for purchase with the latest 2nd Generation Intel Core i series processors, often referred to as Sandy Bridge. The [amazon_link id=”B004I1J80K” target=”_blank” ]ASUS N53SV-A1[/amazon_link] and [amazon_link id=”B004I1J864″ target=”_blank” ]G73SW-A1[/amazon_link] are both currently available from Amazon.com with the latest Intel processors.

The new Intel processors offer more than the standard year over year increase in performance or speed thanks to a new design that puts the GPU and the CPU on the same piece of silicon allowing for a much greater graphics performance for the end user. It’s still not enough to do away with the need for discrete graphics for heavy gamers, but it will provide improvements in graphically intensive operations.

Both the ASUS N53SV-A1 and ASUS G73SW-A1 come with NVIDIA discrete graphics options and can be used for gaming or other graphically intensive projects.
