@G_Force

I paid using paypal eCheck. But its going to take like a week for the payment to be cleared. Its better if u verified u bank and ur card. The payment will cleared starght away. But this only from my experience using paypal from uk.

As for extra payment, I dont pay any surcharge. Ken Lee didnt  say anything and I just paid using their webpage. Hope this help.

@Jeffrey1987

I paid 1706.08 usd and I chose USPS express mail shipping option.

1549 (laptop) + 15 (burn recovery DVD) - 46.92 (discount eCheck) + 189 (USPS express shipping)

- Gentech only burn the os dvd. In the end, I burn my own recovery dvd. 
- For USPS express shipping is awesome, unless u unlucky and ur laptop stuck at custom. My G73 arrived to UK in 5 days but stuck at custom for 4 days. 

That's all I need for now, thx for the links..... 

@Jeffrey1987

I'm not sure. But I think the discount applied to everything excluding shipping.

I just place an order for B1 Spec! going to pay next monday

battery charger is included with the laptop right? cause... in the order list.. they didn mention battery charger included... only the battery and ac adapter...

icic... hahaha thanks

*sigh*

my 2 unit of stealth bomber got sold out and no more in-stock. i end up getting the msi gx660r.. i wonder how much will the g73jw will cost..the B1 is 1.7k .. if jw is a lil cheaper..will definitely get it..though need to save up 1st

Wonder if there is B2...

Well, u could stick to GX660R. I heard from the NBR, it doesn't have GSOD issue.
They should be releasing B2 or else i'll wait for the Sep 3rd annoucement from Asus on G53/73jw.

New Catalyst driver is out. According to the Asus Tech Manager in the NBR forums, this update should fix the GSOD issue. I've just updated and will run some test. I will report here tomorrow after I try some GPU intensive games. For those who are adventurous, you can try the beta vBios from Asus from the link below:

Beta vBIOS update from ASUS

**WARNING**
Not for not technical people and this update will brick your GPU or laptop. If you are not sure what to do then do not attempt this at all. For those who have done vBIOS updates before please try it and report the results here. Thank You.

Could you report your temps when your GPU is under load. I've noticed the weather has been getting rather hot lately & my temps have risen about 10c since I first got the notebook. It used to idle around 54c but now it's idling around 64-70c. I smell a TIM re-paste coming 

I honestly do not know but most probably I will let the service center re-paste my TIM because I want to try my luck for the LCD. I currently have one dead pixel and if I'm smart enough I could get them to replace the LCD, re-paste my GPU and CPU as well     

Today was a public holiday for me. Went to Mid Valley to jln jln..... stumble upon ASUS store.

Chatted w the manager, he say G73 haven't come in yet (as in to Msia).
Intro me to the G53 (3D) for RM 8888 

I told him I imported G73 for RM 6k..... he walked away to serve another customer......

received my A1 unit today
p.s. I used comgateway

i think he meant he used comgateway freight forwarding service

jeffery knows what's he asking. dun worry. i think most prolly GenTech or BTO Tech?
