MSI GT780r or wait for Asus G74

    Okay so I'm in the market for a new laptop, looking for quite a high specced one.

    I had originally been thinking of getting an Asus G73 a few months back but I ended putting the whole idea on hold, in part due to the fact the new sandybridge processors were coming out and availability was limited.

    Now, a few months later things have changed slightly.

    MSI have released a great laptop, http://www3.hardwareversand.de/articledetail.jsp?aid=47319&agid=729 the GT780r, the main improvement being it has the new NVIDIA GTX560m

    It ticks all the boxes for me, and totally trumps the Asus G73 which is at the same price point http://www3.hardwareversand.de/articledetail.jsp?aid=44023&agid=729

    However, Asus are soon to be releasing the G74, which will have the new NVIDIA card but will also have a 3d capable screen (120Hz refresh rate) and in my opinion is better styled in comparison to the MSI.

    So my question is, should I buy the MSI now, or wait another month for the G74... also does anyone know what price the G74 is likely to be? Will it be around the €1800 mark or will it possibly be above €2k, which is a little more than I'm willing to pay.
