I'm agree with you too that I still prefer Asus plain design compared to AW bling bling design.

As Far as i can say is, Asus ROG is only Comparable to AW M15x. G73 is deadly, silent killer towards M15x if u ask me... but there's no league in ROG line could defeat AW M17x. That's for sure.

The bling bling lights is nice man.

G series's stealth fighter looks is even better.

I would say G73 is more like the cheaper version of a 17 inch gaming laptop. M17x is only worth buying if you can max out the specs, provided you have the budget.

G73 is more like budget single GPU laptop. They rarely do dual GPU configuration like Clevo/Sager/Alienware.

I wont say G73 is a budget high end laptop. It's cheaper but it's still quite decent.

Comparing to car industry, G73 is like a Lamborghini, while AW is like Ferrari. Both are good, just offer different looks and specs.

Clevo, Sager are the car industry's equivalent independent small exotic manufacturer like Pagani Or Koenigsegg.

I'm just glad that Asus is serious about their gaming line while keeping the price reasonable It's what the XPS from Dell should have been.

True, XPS have dropped to the point of just a multimedia laptop. A far cry from the days of M1330, M1530 and M1730.

u could wait and configure the 2nd HDD with the proper bracket. They're currently out of bracket for G53.

It depends on your urgency as now G53Jw is lacking of HDD brackets and have to wait till Nov. If you really need to get some serious jobs ( or games ) done, then go for G73Jh/Jw. Both are decent machines.

Ken told me they're receiving a new shipment this friday, so might be faster than end of november... haha... maybe mid november? anyways, if you book now (compared to earlier booking) you get 20 USD off, cheaper bluray player, and free upgrade to 8GB ram....

Great news! Perhaps you can get your unit earlier and review it for us.

not very likely... there's another guy... thxxth was it? i know someone placed their pre order in september.... so he should get his first.

Nope. thxxht had bought G73Jw. I think it should be Corad.

shouldn't Ferrari = Acer + AMD???

afterall, they are two of the sponsors of Team Ferrari in Formula One...

anyway, imho G53Jw is worth the wait... juz loves the performance it packs...

i would say the ROG is more like the Nissan GTR... budget, but the performance is there

+1

Damn true.

Viperion did.

How about you? No?

Nope. At that moment, my budget was quite tight. If I have the spare money, I will consider of extending it.
