Idle Temps



After one hour + of borderlands

Not sure bout u guys . . but those temps looks pretty good to me heh
Compared to some in NBR who has gaming temps of up to 90+celcius

*hrmm..i've found that photobucket automatically resize my pics. can't find anything on photobucket which will allow me to post with the original sizing. if someone do know how . . do tell *

haha for now..i am pretty satisfied with the temps and also the "Exhaust system" as my whole laptop is not hot even when im gaming. This is very much different from my previous laptops, namely Acer and HP which gets hot after awhile just doing normal stuff like surfing >.<

i did post in photobucket lolz. that is direct from photobucket. . not too sure why the size is so small though. it ain't small on my A2 heh. must be some auto resizing either from photobucket or LYN. will try to get bigger pics @.@

If you're getting it delivered with USPS International, it is a definite that your package will be stopped by Custom for inspection. Since you're in Kedah, you can appoint Pos Malaysia to be your agent in clearing the package and sending it to your place. I am not sure how it works if you choose UPS from Xotic but be prepared to pay USD200+ for the UPS shipping.

Fedex/DHL should be acting as your customs clearance agent . . but you should contact your shipping company of choice and confirm with them.
As for the temp . . that is actually cooler then what i got last night which is around 60+ celcius idle. If you think those are hot . . then its best you avoid purchasing this laptop. However, either the temp sensors are deceiving or the cooling system is good. Most over here are saying that those temps are high, however . . I can't sense heat anywhere when I am using my laptop unless I put my hands behind the 2 huge vents . . even so . . the air being pushed out are warm . . can't call them hot at all.

The power cords that comes with the G73JH are generally for the US. You can use an adapter, or buy another power cord with local connector :



As for getting from Amazon . . damn . . those are around 200USD more than resellers >.<"

C L I C K H E R E ! ! !

Scroll all the way down. I got mine from Xotic.

LOL . . bank wire charges are definitely much less than what extra cost Amazon is charging heh. From what I see in the link given for Amazon, it's a USD200-300+ difference from resellers and bank wire charges are at most 30-40USD heh

Ok the new prices seems good. However there are only 2 stock left . . so if you really want it . . you better ask your bro to grab it now. As for it being a good deal or not . .that's up to you to decide. For me, I got it based on the Spec/Price ratio.

And how many times do one need an answer to a question that have already been acknowledged by oneself? Go back a page.

Does me posting about my experience with the laptop and all meant nothing to you?
Hehe in short . . the power brick works. It is rated 100-240v. You either get an adapter or the power cord.

You're one lucky b*****d

Or

I am just unlucky

Yes it got stopped by customs. And yes there are no import duties or tax for laptops in Malaysia.

As for clearing customs, you can either appoint Pos Malaysia as your agent and pay them a fee or go collect it by yourself. It's a simple task which if needed, you will have to pay RM18 for the custom clearance fee and you're set to go

Sent April 20th ---> Into Customs 26th April.
Collected myself 27th April

Pos Malaysia will call you to inform you that your item is held by Customs and whether you will like to collect yourself or appoint them as an agent for a fee.

Depends on when you mail them. There is a time difference (around 12 hours) . Chill dude

From what hatshepsut has said, the US resellers aren't like the one from our neighbouring country . . so I am sure they will reply you in due time

Don't ask me that sort of question ler . . . scary you know lolz. So far everything has been alright Has been having a great time on LAN with bro with Borderlands . . fun fun fun Haven't installed other games yet as won't have time to play them lolz. Have only installed COD:MW and MW2 but has only opened them and played 1 mission before adjourning to Borderlands

I am seeing alot of 1 line questions in this thread. Seriously, if you're gonna make an expensive purchase (at least for me) . . then do take some initiative and go do a research for yourself instead of sitting on your comfy chair and waiting/demanding people to spoonfeed you with information. If I can go through 1700+ forum pages and read countless reviews looking for info . . I don't see why you can't. Yes it may take some time, but at least you will be educated and not rely on people when *touchwood* something goes wrong. * end of Personal rant *

LOL dude..I certainly wasn't directing the lower part message at you lolz.

Added on May 12, 2010, 2:48 pmUpdates on cooling: I've noticed that the keyboard area gets warm after a substantial period. This made me wonder about the argument of where does the airflow for cooling for the G73JH goes through. The rest of the laptop remains cool even after a few hours of gaming and only under the GPU area will it get hot.

Don't think need specific pictures lol. It's just the are under where the GPU is situated which would be on the upper most bottom right side of the laptop if you're facing the screen. However, I only gauge this when I am using it on my lap placing the notebook on my pillow or my blanket which isn't so good for cooling. Didn't check it while on the table top. Might just do it this weekend if I have the time.

Not sure about the Sillypore option . . but I do believe they prefer bank wire as well. But if you need assurance of customer service then I'll say go with the US Resellers. The sillypore one *I ain't Mentioning nAmes* has barely no customer service if you aren't a paying customer. So you will get no assurance or replies whatsoever if you want to find out about a prospective purchase

I will keep that in mind. Looking for a cooler or a bed table in the near future heh.

Gosh . . there are more than one US reseller ><"

Why can't people order them personally? What more , US Resellers are asking for wire transfer and not credit card. I am sure, those who wants to purchase these have some money in some bank which they can wire rite? LOL . . Malaysians and their spoonfeeding . . soo boleh
