The review has to wait, wont be back until september. But i will most probably post some benchmarks from the games i bought. Cant wait to get my hands on it. Pjil welcome to the house. Hehehe. Sorry if i didnt type ur name rite, im using phone to go online.

Oh yea, Ken Lee had confirmed the G53 has 2 HDD bays.

mine cleared customs in 21 mins....

You have received yours? Congratz yea . . .

That's the thing though, it cleared on Aug 4th..... I waited whole day today.... nothing

how long is the battery life for g73? When its idle and gaming. Thx for the info.

Below was some reviews on G73JH particularly about battery life comments:

1. Hothardware

2. In our battery rundown tests, the ASUS G73Jh lasted for 87 minutes. Annoyingly, this means it will conk out at the pivotal moment in most feature-length
movies. That said, it would be unfair to expect anything more from a desktop replacement model. Our advice is to use a wall outlet. [source: Good Gear Guide

Hope it helps.

The problem with battery life lies in the power consumption of the GPU. The stock vbios doesn't down clock the GPU & Mem speeds leaving it idle at a ridiculous 700/1000mhz thus draining the battery like crazy. There is a modded vbios in NBR that lowers the speed of the clocks and increasing the battery life to 2~4 hours depending on the battery saving mode you are using. Flashing your vbios does not break your warranty however be sure to keep the stock bios just in case you need to flash back for RMA purposes. WARNING! Please note there is a risk factor in flashing the vbios and you might end up bricking your entire unit

I just got payment for last month part time job. Some extra cash to spend. HOHOHOHO

Any review for the mouse that come with the laptop. If not good I'm going to ask my friend to get me razer death adder from pc fair. Or anyone suggest good mouse under RM 200. And should I get gaming keyboard or the laptop keyboard is fine.

For the time being, I never heard of anyone here at LYN who use the R.O.G mouse including me :

As for the mouse, I plan to get myself a Logitech G700. It looks cool . . . . Currently, I'm using Roccat Pyra Wireless mouse but not really recommend you to buy it as it is kinda small and poor battery life.

@Jeffrey1987

74 pounds for a mouse is too expensive for me. I cant bring myself to justify the purchase. I'm very cheap person.

Hi guys, a quick question, why aren't you guys getting it from Mucro Asia ? it's only 5.6 k + for g73jh A1 including shipping ? Or am I missing something here? I even saw a guy selling for RM 6800 in another thread for the A2 model !?

Either ways is way better than u buy it from Malaysia Asus. SERIOUSLY.

I'm well aware of that, just curious about the HUGE difference in the prices

My last correspondence with Mucro Asia, they said they don't have ready stock for this unit (I wanted G73JH-A1) I have to wait for sometime (maybe a week or more), but Gentech PC had this unit in stock and ready to be shipped(once payments are confirmed). Besides, with Gentech Pc, i spent total RM5583.60 (Unit cost plus Shipping and all..) so for me it's about the same. The diffrence is Mucro Asia don't have ready stock available.

I personally believe that MucroAsia offers a BAD customer service which I have experienced it last time . . . Ken Lee from GenTechPC is a totally different story . . .

yups..i can vouch for that...it took them (Mucro Asia) a few days sometime a week, to respond to my emails.. unlike Mr Ken from Gentech Pc, he responded to my emails a.s.a.p...

In my case, it was even worst! NEVER replied my e-mails . . .

well, i can just say, too bad for them...lost several customers already....heehehehe...all goes to Gentech Pc I think...kekekekeke..I did...kekekeke

I have to admit that I'm one of the lOST one too . . .
