Colorful backlit keyboard is a trend but still it can't beat alienware in multi-color.

And yet the missing keystokes issues still haven't resolved till now.

Happy b'day dude. I never celebrated b'day since i attended uni.

That would depends on ur own preference, G53jw and G73jw shares same gpu.

Well, u can tell it from GTX 260m. It stood in the market for its outstanding performance. Assuming GTX 460m will do the same thing. But still i can't find any G73jw benchmark nor review yet.

If u want less weigth smaller FHD screen go for G53.

PS: I'm expecting G53 to weight less than G73.

maybe, the copper oz in g73 will be much more compared to g53.

The adapter should be about the same.

this is something i really sweat of.... high end mobile graphic play dota.

i saw the alienware seller playing dota on m15x before.

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.

Prolly still G73JH. I'll wait and see if there's B2 batch or i'll be waiting for sandy bridge. My parents found out my G73 purchasing plan.

The problem actually lies within the nvidia Fermi. GTX 470m and 480m are consuming more watts compared to GTX 460m. Even there are ppl asking in alienware thread about upgrading it, new monster power adapter will be needed for it. Even Eurocom has the GTX 480m laptop comes with 220 watt powerbrick to keep the hot and power consuming GTX 480m. And Eurocom has to place 2 copper cooler to cool off the GTX 480m instead of 1 cooper slot.

Here is the simple guide to mod the keyboard backlight for G73/G51/G53:

I can't be too sure... but their initial report about G53 is equipped with GTS 360m instead of GTX 460m.

tried eliminate the component, like use earphone to check if there's still firework? If there's no hearing of firework on ur earphone, then it could be ur speaker ribbon problem.

Maybe, but the minor 3-5fps difference won't be noticed so easily. However, with PhysX optimized game it should perform better.

yes, turning on physx will reduce ur fps, but u'll get better gaming experience than letting the physX bear by ur cpu.

Ram speed doesn't affect much actually. Keyboard color is up to u actually.

the price ain't that bad, just that u'll have more hassle to find a suitable bag for u lappy.

hmm looks like stock shortage issue.

I wanting to buy it around nov... but I'm see how technology expands for now.

Yeah, i'm surprise they state that in Cons.

3D is just a gaming experience gimmick actually. Asus ROG will be rolling out bundled 3D glasses with laptop(G53jw,g73jw) in future batches.
However, it is a warning that Playing game with nVidia 3D vision activated will reduce ur frames.
As for the gpu, gtx 460m itself is just play fairly average under 3d vision, maybe in future games could be below 30 fps.
