hm, using usb receiver now, probably not changing anytime soon, maybe in january... but i'm reluctant to give to service centre... after they damage my baby

@jeffery, i did not expect the glossy plastic.... and speakers? lol this one really to show off only...

nope, the G73 series has the rubberize lid, while the G53 series has a matte surface...

Added on December 8, 2010, 2:10 pmbtw, this is my opinion.. but matte surfaces are much cooler... which explains my choice of gadgets... the roccat kave is matte the G700 is matte

The only down side is, it's quite hard to clean, you cant just grab any random piece of tissue like what i did with M1530. The tissue actually leave small pieces on the rubberised surface with is even hard to clean.

Other than that, i think it's comfortable, and it wont be too cold for comfort if your room is cold.

lol you want to change ur laptop too?

come, join me for SB batch.
Maybe it'll drop a bit but we'll see how long it takes for Asus to refresh it first.

Meh, i wish there's ppl would accompany buy the sandy Bridge refresh.

Well your idle seems acceptable. If you're in Malaysia then we just have to accept we can't compare temps with those overseas. For me if on load and its around the high 70s to mid 80s I won't panic. But if it can hit 90c then to me the alarm bells start ringing. I was running my lappie withe the GTX 260M as high as 92-93 even and that was when I decided something had to be done. Good luck with the disassembly. Hope you get it back to cooler readings. You don't use a cooler pad? The air intake is in the front for the G73?

As you have the old version of G73, i think that wud be a great replacement for it jeffrey
But ur JH still can kick ass though 

I would love to share my experience of purchasing G53JW from gentechpc as I saw many questions in this thread asking "how can i get this", "how can i pay" etc

If you dont want to pay via wire transfer, there is still one alternative which is paypal. Top notch US notebook resellers would never accept PayPal unless u live in US, Canada and UK. But gentechpc still can consider it and that is why Ken Lee is a top class seller. I paid via PayPal and I believe jeffrey did use the same method as well.

One good thing about PayPal is that the instant payment would make ur order processed instantly. But please do remember the 3% cash discount cannot be applied this way. Plus you have to add 1.5% surcharge fee of the total price(notebook price+shipping)

The total price I paid for the A1 model is 1546.87(notebook+shipping+surcharge fee) around RM4800, but if you think its still not a great deal, dont hesitate to proceed via wire transfer as long as the resellers are reputable. For me I would never ever use wire transfer, you know why, but that is just me 

The currency rates is getting down at this moment but the SB version will be worth waiting 

Yes mate, arrived yesterday..I would appreciate it if you do so 

Was a long wait but I am happy now I have it

Good thing it is in stock now at gentechpc 

Just to make u feel positive mate..be happy with what you have now..its technology..we can never keep up with it..i7-740qm is still a high end what 
and hopefully the SB version will be on the market with expensive tag price lol..we ll be happy with our g53jw purchase then..

Thanks mate 

Didnt expect it to come out so fast.

Well, whatever la.

I got mine already, and i would miss out some fun gaming sessions if i wait for it.

Playing BC2, L4D2, BO with friends is priceless. Except for the poor Macbook that is in front of my vents.

when you all know the SB news ady?...since octorber or November?
