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.

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.

is it fine for me to use malaysia power socket without problem?

Fedex/DHL should be acting as your customs clearance agent . . but you should contact your shipping company of choice and confirm with them.

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 >.<"

Where can i buy the G73jh A2 in malaysia ???

where can i order ??
is it comes with the TARGUS ROG beg and ROG mouse ???

but where can i order it ??

Just bear in mind that Bank Wire will be charged by the local bank some transfer fee.

right. seems amazon price has decreased

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

yeah. i knw the drill. but well, my brother to snap me in..but is it really a good deal or should i go to other gaming laptop..
