hi dude, i've replied you on the sager thread but now I feel obliged to point out your promoting is useless. clubehub is not cheaper than gentech/xoticpc, even with a backlight keyboard or shipping.

i'm afraid this sort of false advertisement will only hurt the/your company.

I guess he never learns by ppl advice.

I've made the comparison... yeap Gentech is still way cheaper....
dude people only need to log in to your website to compare...
since now USD conversion rates is lower @ 3.08 GENTECH is CHEAPER!!!

but... I'll hold on to my purchase since I'll be goin to taiwan soon... wanted to compare between GENTECH and Taiwan price before committing it

Dell Vostro 3400 not good enuf?

If possible, get from Gentech.

It's a shame i didnt get from them in the end. I want my 1CD thermal paste.

Vostro is pretty good... since it has nvidia 310m... but thats company PC cant install 3rd party (ahem**) application on it...

need a power notebook for personal gaming and photo editin use... it is to replace my Compaq V3222

Yeap thinkin gentech too but since goin to taiwan might as well wait for it...

So what is the price import from gentech with keyboard and wasd backlight with blue color,And ship with UPS expedited Insured.So i can compare with cubehub price.Now i abit blur ......Need advice

Go to the Gentechpc and customize one. Then, click check out. Also, dont forget to add the shipping fees which is 129USD. Thats what i got quoted last time.

Adding coloured WASD keys are easy. Just remove the keyboard and put the coloured transparent paper under the keyboard. Gentech could do it in a range of colours for 15USD. Pretty nice, but useless as if you are a gamer, you can find the WASD keys with your eyes closed on any keyboard.

You can see the final price of the notebook.

Oh.... My company laptop is Vostro 3300 lol. Same Nvidia 310m as urs.

Follow cheesenium advice on customization.

One more thing i like to point out, if possible, try to get from Gentech as Gentech could upgrade your BIOS and vBIOS for you before they ship to you. Saves you a lot of trouble when you get your laptop and got GSOD the first time.

I did request Ken last time, and Ken happily told me they could do that for you.

If i havent found a similarly priced G73JH-FHD with dual Momentus XT and im not in Australia, i will still go back to Gentech. No fun getting taxed when im getting my laptop delivered to me from US as i might need to spend RM1000 to get my laptop back. Or the customs probably gonna have lots of fun gaming time on my G73.

Another plus point is, go for custom thermal paste as stock G73JH paste are quite bad in most cases. Im considered lucky to have Fur Mark running lower than 90C, or maybe i didnt push it far enough.

Lastly, if you are getting a G73, i think G73JW would be a better choice. nVidia have better driver support and you dont get weird GSOD with nVidia. Forget about the infamous 8600M GT or 8400M GS problem, as it's probably wont happen again. Heard JW runs slightly cooler too due to better stock pasting, despite losing about 5fps to 5870.

well, SGD just went up to 2.39 (2.39MYR = 1 SGD) and if you convert ur money at money changer its 2.45 MYR to 1 SGD
(all time record btw, highest last time was 2.38 MYR to 1 SGD)

So cubehub is not cheaper anymore.

Conclusion, just get it from US via comgateway.

Just go whichever cheaper option.

Affirmative! Join us riku2replica A.S.A.P.

@Cheesenium
Thanks for updating us with the vBIOS.

To all possible buyers, you guys can try to e-mail Ken Lee of GenTechPC if you guys have any doubts in mind. I can assure to you guys that he offers a really GREAT customer service. You guys can try to mention my name: Jeffrey or Mark (Viperion) when you e-mail him.

so JW is slower than JH.... hmmm.....

In terms of gaming benchmarks, NVidia GTX460M has a lower score than ATi HD5870 if I'm not mistaken.

Slightly, about 5 fps in most games, but a huge performance boost if you play DX11 games.

Give it some time, and it will improve as nVidia is insane with drivers.

in that case JW mostlikely for me 1 more thing do we need custom paste for JW or Asus rectify the louzy paste...

GentechPC or XoticPC, both have very good representatives, i prefer xoticpc though, they seemed.. more professional. but alas, the deliver was slightly more expensive so I opted for Gentech.

yes it is indeed cheaper to get from US rather than SGD, even at conversion rate of 3.14, you'll most likely get that number nowadays when doing TT. Delivery will cost you around 100+ USD.

when i calculated my total cost, it came down to RM5.7k, which is cheaper than SGD 2500 = approx. RM6k.
