www.dell.com/outlet they have super bargain laptops sometimes if ur lucky. But problem is shipping, I had to arrange a friend to collect on my behalf and post it over.

Weight I think both almost same, maybe the M15X slightly heavier, but size wise I think both also same. I can't resist getting one and thinking I left out on a nice bargain. Luckily one is with 5870 another is with GTX260. I won't want to get the 5850 for M15X as it seems pointless. No doubt I will still be craving for a M17X with 4870 X 2 or 5870 X 2.

You are certainly a rich guy! I'm contented with my Asus G73Jh-A2 as I do not have the extra penny to spend on getting other toys. Quite "bankrupt" already . . .

I am getting high interest loans from loan sharks, so I must get rid of one unit after I have them within 1 month else the sharks will swim around my dead body.

Seriously I can't speak much edi really good job from Ken Lee at Gentech. Just check the status and it's out of US edi. OMG I can't wait edi since it went out of US mebe I might be getting it this week. I think best is to give them more time but based on the progress I am really having my hopes up too much.

Why in your Detailed Results, there are a "bullet" word in every single sentence? Mine does not have that.

The bullet is like a symbol. duno how long it will take to arrive. Calculating on the time zone, mebe this week might b arriving. But duno how long it will take for customs to clear it.
Customs Malaysia Tariff Mebe I need to do a printout of this website, computers r non taxable and non sales taxable.

OIC. My worry is same as yours as I afraid it will take time for the local customs to clear it before it is sent to me.

Wow, impressed that Gentech has stocks on hand while almost every single online retailer out of stock!

I am prepared to self collect at sepang if they do call me. Else I might be calling them once I see the status is arrived at KLIA.

Yea. They do have A2 in stock. Most importantly, Ken Lee at GenTechPC is such a great guy to deal with. Anyway, it is my pleasure to deal with him.

Added on May 24, 2010, 8:19 amThat will be a great idea. I can't do that as I don't have a car here and have to wait for the forwarder to deliver it to my door step. If not, I will certainly do it like what you have mentioned above!

Seriously I highly recommend Gentech fast n superb service. Once my lappie arrives I will post up pics or even videos of their packaging. Hopefully everything goes smoothly.

I will make an unboxing video and post it to YouTube too. Furthermore, I will snap some pictures to share with you guys. As usual, I pray that it will come to me ASAP. Can't stop thinking of it now.

guys, it will take maybe half a day for Customs to put in their records that your item have arrived. At the end of the day, Pos Malaysia will call you

. . Well at least thats my experience heh.

hopefuly it will arrive this week.

Added on May 24, 2010, 9:52 amSeeing the status change within a day, really hoping it will arrive at malaysia within a day or 2. But according to usps and gentech it might take 3-5 days, then another 2-3 days at customs. This is if there's any delay.

Ahh...the thread has fallen silent as Jeffrey and EvilDevil awaits with high anticipation the arrival of their G73JH hehe.

For the new owners or future owners, I found a problem with the upkeep of my laptop. The mesh grill for the speaker area is a magnet for dust/dirt keeping. And it's hell trying to clean them afterwards. I am not so inclined on trying to take it apart yet . . maybe when the dust/dirt becomes too overbearing for my eyes and ears (if they block the speakers)

I've also installed Dirt 2 and played a few games. To my surprise . . it actually is smoother than my desktop.

My desktop rig :

Intel C2D E8400
Asus P5KPL-AM
Kingston PC-6400 DDR2-800 *2
Seagate 1TB HDD
Silverstone ST56F
Asus HD4850 512MB

So for now, you could say I am pretty happy camper

Indeed, I'm really anxious on getting my Asus G73Jh-A2.

As for the mesh grill above the keyboard, have you tried before to vacuum it using the USB powered vacuum or the ordinary household vacuum? I hate to see if there are a lot of dust stuck inside the mesh grill and the current measurement of getting rid of them which I can think of is the USB powered vacuum. Maybe you can try to use one and tell us the result?

Funny thing it seems like either not many owners are takin part in the forums, or too bz playing with their new laptop ? Last week when I went shopping for lappies, one shop at sunway with big big "ASUS" logo and havin all "ASUS" laptops claim the G51J model is selling for RM 7999. Seriously I wonder how much they will sell it locally later once it is official. The guy offered me another model not sure if it's G72 or N series he mention RM 9999+ and he added, "I think u won't be buying that as well one" Forking out RM 7999 I would rather go for M17X edi,
Good news is the G73JH have been shipped out from US, bad news is the M15X I order haven't ship out yet. Hopefully by today they can ship it out as they need further verifications. One is being ship by Fedex another is By USPS. I got a feeling USPS might deliver 1st.

Btw, G73JH-A2 don't have support for Raid ?

Added on May 24, 2010, 7:40 pmI believe this unit will be dust magnet, need to standby long soft brush, mini vacuum to keep the lappie as good as new.

Do you have any recommendation for the mini vacuum? The mini vacuum is USB powered?

Those cheap ones around RM 9.90 or 12.90 or more will do I guess. I got tons of them. The suction of the vacuum is not that good but it does it's job well I guess.

I got a list of games wanna try out on the Asus and also will be running on the M15X as well. Actually I believe both might have almost the same size and weight. Then it will be harder to choose. I guess might be putting either one up for sale then.

How about Cyber Clean, the cleaning compound? Probably will work...
