Is it faster if i buy in singapore compare to in Malaysia ?

becoz now i got my xps 16 oredi and i found that its hot after gaming .. so i plan to refund it and get this g73jh .. please tell me where to get one ..

guys i wish to buy from xoticpc.. those who bought from xoticpc can u guide me, i need to know the method of payment.. i only have bank cimb card.

If you're in the states and are updated through the forums, you can practically get the A1s and A2s from some resellers who aren't so well known but could ship them out to you ASAP. And then you have the choice of the other stripped down versions mainly the X1 and X2 and the BB version.

As for us in good ol' "boleh" land . . we have no choice but to pre-order. I ordered mine on the 31/3/2010 and as of 10AM this morning, it has arrived in "boleh" land. I am not so sure who is it that is gonna post it to my house since I took the USPS International Mail Express option . . but am praying I can unbox tomorrow

As for those who are thinking of waiting to get them from shops over here, I would say its better you don't. The word I get from resellers in Taiwan (Asus HQ) is that the G73JH line is only for export purposes to the western countries. They would not even stock it in Taiwan. Go figure 

And there ofcourse you could also take the direction of others who opt for other brands but you definitely won't be paying the same for the exact spec

*oops edited the order date

wow... nice photos!
congratz on ur new laptop man

hd5870 somemore~ woohoo..

can list down the specs and what r the difference between a1 and a2?

if, u interested, kindly take a look my thread, im taking in G73JH within 2 weeks u will get ur laptop

lol Putochip123 have connection worldwide yo!

well both of us student too right?

/back to G73JH discussion please.

Jeffrey, ASUS comes with standard 2 Year Global Warranty. You could check out the price for an extension with resellers like Xotic PC which would give you an option when you're customizing your notebook on their website.

will it void the warranty if change HDD my self ??
and can i open and maintenance the dust myself ?? will this void the warranty also ! ???

as long as you have will, you will find the way

Well, if it allows you to sleep peacefully at night knowing that your USD1600 laptop is protected for 3 years, and you have no problem paying the extra . . I don't see why not

If you were to search around, there is a good guide on disassembling the G73JH. 

Update: I have not gamed on my A2 yet as I am just trying to clean bloatwares and install drivers and security software first. Maybe I'll start gaming this weekend . . and after that will have a review on my new Lappy . . MAYBE is the keyword 

Just got it today. Awesome machine and completely bang for the buck.

I bought my Asus G73-A2 off ebay because I wanted to use paypal.

It took around 2 weeks to arrive in total, pretty fast considering it was sent via USPS.

Make sure you get your tracking, it's extremely useful when ordering such an item of high value. It allowed me to know exactly when it arrived in Malaysia and whether or not it cleared customs. It should clear customs since notebooks are free from custom duties.

Unless it's shipped via FedEx or some other specialised courier company, don't expect poslaju to deliver it to your home. If you want you can easily collect it without waiting for their notification letter. Just call them up and give them your tracking no. and they'll tell you which post office it is at. Bring your IC or passport + the tracking no. and you can go ahead and take it home.

All in all, this laptop is way cheaper than it would be in Malaysia. Got it for around 5.5k including shipping whereas I'm pretty sure when it retails locally it will be over 7k minimum. Specs are almost as good as the Alienware m17x for nearly half the price.

If you haven't seen a 17.3 inch laptop before, like me, you will be in for a HUGE suprise.

I would post some performance tests, but it seems that people have already posted plenty of that.

Good luck fellow Asus G73 owners and future owners.
