by Calie, 2010-07-29

I love this computer!!!!!!! Its the best Gaming Laptop that I ever owned. I would highly recommend this computer to anybody who is thinking of buying it. It is well worth the money!!!!!!!

 

This is the TOTAL GAMING PACKAGE!! AWESOME,
by Erfan223, 2010-07-28

I was about to build my own gaming desktop for around 2300. My freind told me about this gaming laptop and how it'd be a better investment. I goto high school so this is a perfect use of my money for a high performance laptop. I have this A1 vesion and it is loaded with good stuff.

Pros: Processor is Intel 720Q at 1.6Ghz
AMazing graphics
HD audio
Bluray
Two hdds
BIG sCREEN
nice big touchpad
easy to type keyboard
ASUS ROG GAMING MOUSE
WEBCAM is okay not bad

CONS: Battery drains in about 2 hours. This isnt a problem for me because ill ha it plugged in most of the timebut for those who are on the go be cautios of this.


SHIPPING was okay, I paid $50 for 2 day shipping and got it. THE UPS GUY DELIVERED IT TO MY NEYBORs house by accident and they werent home, so I had to chase his ass down with my car until he stopped and tell him he had missed my delivery. (To the right home at least). These UPS guys need to be careful and not such bums. Other than that everything seems good.

 

Purely Awesome,
by Joe, 2010-07-25

This is my first laptop and after owning it for a week I'm genuinely impressed.

Pros:
Redonkulous speed.
Very Stylish
Good Warranty
The touch-pad/keyboard/mouse are awesome and take very little getting used to.
HDMI out is plug and play; plus there's a hotkey to display: only hdmi out, only screen, or both. Pretty handy. 1080p looks gorgeous.
Windows 7 is pretty slick. Connecting to a wireless network/printer was very easy even for someone who's only done it once before.
I really like the illuminated keys.
Plenty of hard-drive.
Very large screen, but the computer is overall thinner than I had imagined.
A well put together computer physically speaking. (No wiggles, squeaks, etc.)
Damn-near silent.
The backpack is pretty nice, lots of padding and decently stylish.


Cons:
I had the cyberlink powerdvd software die the first couple of times I tried to use it. With a fresh install it plays blu-ray discs smooth.
Lots of bloatware. I had to remove like 12 or 13 garbage programs.
No microsoft office.
This thing is a power-hog. The battery lasts maybe ~1 hour with average (non-gaming, non-movie, etc.) use. I'm assuming considerably less if you're gaming.
There's no flash-player for the 64bit internet explorer (I'm sure there's some better option out there, I haven't done much research yet)


Overall it's an excellent computer and the warranty(don't forget to send in your warranty card!) is really solid. I would buy this again in a heart beat.

 

The Best of the Best,
by Buzz, 2010-07-24

The Asus G73JH-A1 is the best value you can find. The G73 is simply a dream laptop; it has insane performance times infinity. I've tested it on games like Anno 1404 and Aliens vs Predator. The graphics are a quantum leap above the previous systems! No slowdowns, no choppiness, just smooth super high-end performance. The quality of the screen that comes with the G73 is incredible, you'd have to see it to believe it. The 1650$ G73 is equivalent to a $3000 Alienware computer. Unless you have 1400$ free dollars to give to Michal Dell for Brand recognition, you should save your money and buy an Asus G73. The G73 is the most insane machine you'll ever see.

 

Worst Keyboard Ever,
by J. Bjork, 2010-07-24

I purchased this laptop, used it for about 8 weeks, and then had to sell it on Ebay for a $400 loss. The keyboard is absolutely terrible. Not only is the keyboard uncomfortable, but it misses about 1 out of every 5 keystrokes. If you never need to type anything, this unit might be good for you.
