You do not need to do that as every Asus notebooks carry 2 years international warranty. smile.gif Just send it to the service center.

Hey guys, im planning to get a G53 or G73 as i just got my funding. biggrin.gif

Which one do you guys recommend to get? G53 or G73? I dont really carry my laptop around and even if i need to, i have my dying M1530.

Are there any heat issue with G73? How severe is it?

Also, which online store is the best place to get based on your experience? Mucro Asia or gentech PC?

It's all depends on your preference whether you are leaned to size factor or not? 15" is easier for you to move around. Less weight for sure. laugh.gif It's your call though.

If you asked me which resellers I'm going to get my gaming notebook, I will certainly will order it from GenTechPC. Greatest CS I have ever received. icon_rolleyes.gif Just try to mention my name and Mark (Viperion) as Viperion had mentioned at previous post. He'll assist you as best as he can.

Oh yea, where do you plan to ship the notebook? Australia?

i'm pretty much locked on the G53, i'm gonna wait for it to release and see if there are any common problems with the first batch. Hopefully, it's nothing major.

If you still can play the waiting game, it is not a big prob. as you can observe the performance of 1st batch G53 1st. biggrin.gif

hey guys , normally u all get from gentechpc , ship with usps priority mail or express international? if with USPS priority mail international service , how long it will be arriving? will it be stuck at stupid malaysia kastam?? this is my first time using USPS service , all this while i been using UPS but UPS damn expensive now..
*
Most of the Malaysia customers ordered from GenTechPC used USPS as their freight forwarder. However, there are some of us who are also using comGateway (not under GenTechPC) as their freight forwarder. They got mentioned that they will guarantee your package to arrive in front of your door steps if you use comGateway.

If you use USPS, there will be a probability that your notebook stuck at your local customs. laugh.gif The shipping duration of USPS will probably takes up 7 - 10 days including weekends.

There seems to be a clear winner for G73 debuts between HD5870m and GTX 460m. I just check some eurocom benchmark with HD5870m and GTX 480m performance. GTX480m is performing slightly ahead of HD5870m.

Which could actually discuss GTX 460m will be weaker or slightly weak than HD5870m.

Games which are optimized for Nvidia with PhysX will be an advantage. But without PhysX, it could perform almost the same as HD5870m or +/- frames.

Anyway, which G-Series notebook that capture your attention now? G53 or G73Jw? biggrin.gif

You must consider of customs tax too. smile.gif As for the order and purchase procedure, perhaps you can read through this thread. I believe that there are several posts on this matter. thumbup.gif

Import tax.

I am in Australia, and things works quite differently here.

I think you have to figure it out clearly as last time I really have a difficult time dealing with the Germany customs. Bad experience! vmad.gif

You have to make sure 2 things:
1. Customs tax
2. Import tax.

Ask the Aussie customs about these 2 matters in order to avoid unwanted scenario to happen. If you hate of dealing this kind of things, just import it to M'sia. As easy as ABC. thumbup.gif

They say, if you put the price on the box less than 1000AUD, you wont get taxed.

Ken said they can help you to do that.

I pretty much need the com now. My M1530 is gonna boil water sooner or later. Now about 100 celcius+ while playing TF2. Thats way too abnormal, as i have force the game to run with very low shaders and dx8. It still lags. doh.gif Idling now at about 60 to 77,even when the ambiance temp is 20 celsius.

I really hope G73 dont have this issue.
Ah, whats the difference?

Im thinking of declaring it as 888AUD, under PC Warranty, as suggested by Ken. Not too cheap for the laptop,and also auspicious at the same time. laugh.gif

Any advise on how to evade tax? No way im paying another RM1k on top of what im paying to Gentech.
*
Just like Ken Lee has said, declare the item under RMA. You are under the right track now. thumbup.gif

Asus G53 is a newer 15" R.O.G gaming notebook. Besides that, the price of importing a whole new G53 is cheaper than G51 which is bought locally. thumbup.gif

G-series Asus in Malaysia is way overpriced compared to importing it + delivery fee, you could save more than RM1K...

Yeap. It is better for you to save the RM1K to buy some accessories for your notebook although G53 includes a gaming mouse and backpack. brows.gif

how much will g53 cost?
how long will it take for shipment?

You can refer to GenTechPC as they offer great customer service. Most of this thread's members bought their Asus G73 notebooks from GenTechPC too. Try click on this.

As for the duration of shipment, it will take around 10 days after you have transferred the money. If you are really interested, you can ask the members at this thread including me about the procedures of purchase. icon_rolleyes.gif

how bout asus customer service and their support?
are they good?


Added on October 14, 2010, 3:02 amthe g53 only comes with nvidia GC only is it?

Asus notebooks are equipped with 2 years global warranty. As for warranty service, so far so good from some of the thread members response. But you must bear in mind that Asus doesn't offer In-Home Service. You have to send it in when it comes to RMA. smile.gif

Yeap. For the time being, Asus G53 only equips with NVidia. Asus G73Jh is equipped with DDR5 ATi 5870 (1 GB VRAM).

Actually, I'm kinda forgot already. I used USPS as my freight forwarder last time. It cost me around 149 USD if I'm not mistaken. Some of the thread members here who hired comGateway as their freight forwarder which is cheaper.

You can ask Ken Lee from GenTechPC about the doubts you have. He is one of my friend. Just try to mention my name: Jeffrey or Mark and he will try his best to assist you.
