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.

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.

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. sweat.gif

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.

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. laugh.gif

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

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.

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.
