The stock Atheros card has bad wireless range and limited to 150Mbps wireless transfers rate. I will be carrying this notebook around so might need to use some WiFi spots sometimes. I want to make sure my unit have decent wireless capability. Anyway the upgrade is not too expensive, around RM 70 - 80  wink.gif  biggrin.gif

Stock is ahteros? I didn't know that. I have Intel 3945ABG and 4965AGN spare lol.

That's not the scary part. Mine is out of foreign customs and I can't track in anywhere is POS Malaysia! I called them and they told me the USPS CV tracking number should be E-parcel rclxub.gif

Hence my question earlier to owners who previously got their units from Gentech or other companies using USPS Priority Mail International Parcels. Which delivery service delivered your unit to your homes? For the USPS Global Express it's confirmed Pos Laju will deliver and once you get the out of foreign customs you can track your package with the Pos Laju system. I can't find my unit anywhere in any of the Pos Malaysia services sad.gif

I've been reading feedback from owners on NBR forums. However I've been downloading all the drivers for the G73JH at Asus support site and the Intel 6200 drivers are listed there. They could be installing the wireless by batches and some units might be shipping with the Intel cards instead. I won't know till my unit arrives but I will check and report back here smile.gif

I'm suspecting G73Jw will be getting Nvidia Gtx480m installed. Since AVADirect’s W880CU has got it installed and running like a mad portable desktop replacement.

The rumors are the GTX480m will be installed but a lot of NBR forum members says it's still too early to confirm. Asus needs to weigh the possibility of overheating and additional cost for cooling down the laptop due the heat generated by this card. If they need to do major revamps to the chassis, I highly doubt they will go with the GTX480m for the G73JW. It would be more cost effective to launch this card on a higher newer model to attract new potential buyers.

This just in from Pos Laju:

Parcel No Date Time Process Office

06-Jul-2010 16:22 Item to be collected at Counter Delivery PPL

rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif

I should receive it by tomorrow thumbup.gif rclxms.gif rclxm9.gif icon_idea.gif

Further information, the unit will be delivered to my home. Pos Malaysia uses Pos Laju to pick up your unit from KLIA customs and deliver it to the nearest Pos Laju branch. I'm not sure which service they will use to dispatch my parcel but from what I gathered it will be either the E-Parcel service or Pos Laju. I will report back once they deliver my unit hopefully by tomorrow biggrin.gif

Congratulations for your notebook's arrival at Malaysia. I'm sure that you can't sleep well these 1- 2 days before you actually receive your babe. laugh.gif

Nevertheless, the heat generated by the GPU is the most apparent concerns for the time being. hmm.gif

Actually, you can ask Ken Lee to reserve 1 for you. How many days more to wait? If it is only few days, I think Ken Lee can do that. Just try to mention my name and said you are my friend from MYS. laugh.gif

Yup, my Lord & Master pointed to Ken Lee at Gentech and I did his bidding tongue.gif I've actually called him several times and once to assist Satchi who hopefully will get his unit today. Overall he is very helpful and I love his service. However there are some conflicting reports in the NBR forums. Some members said he is very knowledgeable and a techie but when I asked him about the issues with this laptop he was very general. I think he started the account in NBR forums and at times a tech from Gentech answers on that account tongue.gif

You should order from him, mentioned both our names and tell he to send some freebies to Jeffrey & Mark Lee (Viperion) brows.gif tongue.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

LOL! I'm not 100% sure that the person (GenTechPC) in NBR is Ken Lee himself but I did order mine via "Ken Lee" of NBR.

As for the names, just mention both of our names and don't forget to ask Ken send us some freebies just like what Viperion had said at previous post. thumbup.gif

Actually, there are quite a numbers of resellers out there but I do recommend you to buy from Ken Lee of GenTechPC. Superb service from him. Just try to google GenTechPC & you will notice it. All the best! Just ask us if you have any further Q.

They only accept USD.

As for the money matter, they will only accept bank wire for international transactions. But don't worry as it is really easy to do the TT. nod.gif

hey JanqEs,
well its actually pretty simple.
before you order send an email to Ken Lee and tell him you are making an international order (i.e from Malaysia).
The shipping charge to malaysia will be USD149.

They accept bank transfer only for international orders and here is the instructions:

1: Add to cart and proceed to checkout.
2: Choose Pay by Check and just enter 1234 as check number.
3: Once they received your order confirmation they will email you the bank transfer instruction.

The bank transfer email will contain information all the details you will need, I.E, swift code /accnt number/ bank addr/ etc. to make the wire transfer /TT.

After you have sent the wire transfer, you will need to fax / scan a copy of the receipt to gentechPC's billing department. They will be quick to clear it as the case for Viperion and Jef. but for me it took a while to clear.

I guess thats the gist of the process you need to go through.
