Another Review of Asus G73Jw:

Review of Asus G73Jw
quote from notebookcheck.net:

Now, whether to choose a model with Radeon HD 5870 or with GeForce GTX 460M,  is a question of personal preferences.  Those looking for relatively unrestricted (gaming) performance are better off with the G73JH (HD 5870).  For users that, however, want supported features like PhysX, the G73JW (GTX 460M) might be a better match.
*
Hmmm, seems like JH suits me more then. :/

PhysX is just a gimmick, and i would turn it off for more frame rates.

My Asus A8jr still breathing hot fires. laugh.gif

Its up to u, but most of us would recommend GenTechPC for superb customer service.

So, i can assume that none of us here actually have problems with Gentech? Things like they scam your money,bad handling or late delivery.

just bought from GenTech. They are alright, i really prefer Xoticpc's Justin, he seems very professional but I went to GenTech because the delivery is much cheaper, USD 28 vs USD 50+ for UPS 3 days ground delivery.

anyway, my model is G73JW, standard settings. RM5528 including TT fees from both banks.

The delivery fee from comgateway will most likely cost me bout 100+ USD. Will update as soon as possible.

if you have any enquiry, i recommend emailing their Sales representative directly, Ken lee from Gentech or Justin from Xoticpc. Check out notebookreview's forums for more info on ASUS as well as other brands
*
I have checked out other brands. Alienware could not offer the performance of a G73, and MSI, Sager doesnt have warranty support in Malaysia. Just that now, im a bit stuck on whether to get G73JH or G73JW. Decisions, decisions and decisions.

Asus seem to be the best option, as i could get warranty support internationally. At the same time, G73 offer the best performance for the least bucks. Looks sleek too. Decent temps.

The only thing i dont like is the GSOD crap, and thats all.

I guess i'll email Ken about this.

I'm planning to purchase a Asus G51JX real soon. But i still cant decide whether to get the one with 720qm or 820qm.

820qm cost about $300 AUD more than 720qm.

Is the significant different with those two? Worth getting the 820qm?

Really appreciate some replies.

Thanks

Which ebay seller are you planning to buy from?

GTS 360M i s a far better preformer. HD5730m has been reveiwed and its complained due to horrible performance.
Desktop graphic are usually stronger than Notebook Graphic. Their naming is slightly lower than the desktop ones.
So, u shouldn't expect GTX 460m to perform exactly/close to GTX 460(desktop).
*
Still, does that mean that 460M is slower than 5870 Mobility?

Or their performance is roughly equal.

i wouldn't say its slower or whatever but nvidia could've pumped up gtx 460m performance with more mature driver.

Still, it sucks to buy a new laptop with shitty driver initially.

I know that my old M1530's nVidia driver was damn crappy initially, with the stock ancient driver that cant even run UT3. After updating the drivers, i was able to run on Medium.

U could try to see if ken can avoid taxation from aussie gov.
But if ur seeing it in june .... why dun buy later? There might be refresh.

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.

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

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.
