B1 is expensive by A1 around 100++ USD.
And yeah i did hope they roll out B2 batch.

Still, is there any major problem with B1?

Uh... just the vbios only i think. U need to update urself if u face GSOD.

Ah, so could i ask Ken from Gentech to update for me? Along with a whole list of stuff?

It would be better if u ask Ken about it. He's the supplier afterall.

Bro, G73Jh-A2 was discontinued already...just get the G73Jw...stock ready at GenTech PC.

Just sent him an email.

Hopefully he will reply soon.

Tax? May I know what tax are you referring here?

Anyway, which model is your choice now?

Yeah G73JH-A2 discontinued....
Oh well time to aim for G53JW then since its cheaper!

Import tax.

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

Yeap, australia charges tax for computer parts. So , best if u get it shipped to malaysia lol.

Then, i probably dont see my laptop till July then.

Ken say they can try to evade tax.

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.

just a slight update, my package is at comgateway and they are preparing to ship it to malaysia. I used express delivery, the fee was USD 114. Don't know how fast it will be delivered, but i probably don't expect to get it this week.

weight was bout 8.6kg, pretty heavy.

The experience was quite tense as GenTech was unable to give me a proper tracking for my delivery and further more, they used FedEX instead of UPS 3 day as originally stated in my invoice.
They say it's faster but when i finally looked at the tracking, it was no difference (still 3 days, 5 days to be exact, was sent on last friday), maybe they're cutting cost by using the cheaper fedex, i don't know but I was not too pleased.

another thing is that i wanted them to check for dead pixels and any other abnormalies before sending. I doubt they've done it since they delivered on last friday. We'll see when i get my package.

also, can anyone that used comgateway confirm if they use DHL to deliver? it was not stated in my comgateway invoice.

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!

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.

Yes Comgateway uses DHL

Hello there! How was your notebook doing?

yups..congateway uses DHL..

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. 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.

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.
