Most of the time Idle temps would be aroung 40s - low 50s.

if idle 65F then really wOW..

The butt is look like a big exhaust that improve alot in temp..help reduce temp and bla bla..
but seem like the temp not that nice for me..

Overall ur temp for after gaming is good but not the idle..

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 >.<

too difficult for us to refer, would u mind upload it in photobucket and post it here?

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.

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 @.@

May you give me the link of the eBay? How much did you pay in sum?

http://cgi.ebay.com.my/ASUS-G73JH-A2-17-3-...=item3caa89be5e

there's a worldwide shortage so you might have to preorder.

You mean stock Alienware M17x R2 with 5870 and i720QM? That would retail at about 7999 i think..

Thanks for the link.

where can we've the backpack?

im opted to buying the X3 model from amazon...

You mean Asus R.O.G backpack?

yeap. been searching it.

Maybe it only comes with A1 or A2? or you can try to e-mail Asus and ask them.

yeah correct..i was looking the one good on amazon.com..coz i think paying for 1.8k usd is just too much..perhaps paying for the mouse and backpack

I dont think u can buy the backpack and mouse separately though

yep. wasn't it is custom made for this laptop? with logo of Republic of Games and everything, i doubt you can buy exactly the same model that come with this package.
