An alternative and slightly cheaper g73jh

do notice, the spec, the only difference of it with a1/a2 batch is it comes with non full-HD 1080 LCD. its resolution is 1600x900 not 1920x1080.

I need a powerful GPU for my laptop meh... ATi Mobility X2300 choking on 1080p videos. can't play smooth 23/24fps... but keep jumping from 15fps to 23fps...

we're straying off topic. Seems like Local Asus haven't got any in stock?
I sense price war Asus G73JH with Sager with the same spec.

Asus G73JH is win in design wise, maybe ventilation.

But sager NP8690 offers better cooling solution with the x oz of copper for their cooling solution. Anyway, Both asus and sager did a better job compared to Alienware All Powerful M15x with gt240m(pricing rm6k) but gtx260m will cost around rm6.6k already.

I think its going to be hard for Asus Malaysia since outside malaysia is suffering from stocks shortage.
Still, alienware is getting most attentions.

well, there's one thing about asus g series. The price drops really low when the graphic card hardware is outdating. Let's take 8600m GT. Most Graphic especially HD4570/HD5470 in market is on par with it now.

Previously opting for this...
I'd happy to get this spec however dell Malaysia can't get it though.

From Mucro Asia

For sager N8690 same spec as Asus G73JH will custom up to MYR7787.79 (include 0% tax).

While Asus G73JH MYR5,502.22 (including 0 % tax).

Yes, cheaper than alienware for the least. Good thing about Asus warranty compare to Sager is their international warranty which makes it valid anywhere but RMA in malaysia will be a long wait for Malaysia asus to order the parts to arrive in our land.

laptop hardware such as CPU and GPU is expensive. Go calculate how much before u splatter nonsense.

Damn, now i have to hunt for X3 batch.
Lower pricing.

tek, mind to share the default wallpaper for g73jh? Having hard time to hunt those wallpaper. Don't use lowyat upload, use photobucket or imageshack hosting. I dun wan lowyat.net watermark.

Anyway, Asus Releasing G73JW/G73JW 3D soon. It's probably based on Nvidia GPU this time.

Yup, seems like they've planned the timeline.
Can't wait to see Asus release ROG G53 with ATi GPU.

100-240v la... btw, most forumer will be enquire that upon purchasing.

Anyway, for those who wanted to get the A1 batch laptop in melbourne. Well, there's one store i confirmed they're having stock but they're selling at Aus$ 2443 which is rather expensive if u convert it to myr. Getting it from US is way cheaper.

My suggestion for now, wait for g53 release. LoL.

Holy smoke, that pricing is imba.
