1.) Any gaming laptop will get hot due to the dedicated gaming card. What is important is the card is stable and bug free. Most of the G73 owners are plague with the defective ATI 5870 card which causes Gray Screen Of Death (GSOD) while running any graphic intensive applications. Check forum like Notebookreview forums or google G53+problems to find out for any issues with this particular model.

2.) I also would recommend GentechPC to you. Yes their web site doesn't look like much but I've went to other online resellers which website looks great and really professional but when you call them their staff provieds sub-par service and is not knowledgeable. GentechPC staff is quick and efficient giving the best service I've experienced thus far. Get Ken Lee as your sales person and let him know you were introduced by the TS and me (Mark Lee). He will handle your case with extra diligence then 

3.) All PC/Notebooks is tax free so no duties.

4.)If you use the shipping option from GentechPC, they will ship with USPS. USPS will then forward the parcel to Pos Laju Malaysia when it arrives. Pos Laju will sometimes refuse to deliver the package to your house probably because they are lazy or the rates USPS pays them is too low. They will then call you and tell you to come pick up at the nearest Pos Laju branch. The other option is you can use Comgateway a freight forwarder in the USA. The shipping option is cheaper compared to what GentechPC is offering and they use DHL to deliver the parcel. This will guarantee the package will reach to your doorstep 

5.) The adapter is universal 110~240v. The only problem is the pin heads which are US standard and can be easily resolved by purchasing a RM 5 travel adapter converter.

They don't accept credit cards but you can pay by credit card through Paypal. However if you do that you will not receive the 3% cash back discount. In order to qualify for the 3% discount, you must pay by wire transfer. I've written a guide in the previous thread on how to pay by wire transfer. Do a search or go through my post to find it 

May I know which gaming notebook that you plan to buy? 

Thanks everybody ,
I appreciate all the detailed response , I think I am fully decided to go get G53.

one more last question , how long does it take for them to deliever to my house?

also I have Maybank Visa Debit Card , I also activated for online shopping do they accept it for payment?

2: G53JW hasn't been release yet, if payment is completed we can ship with 2 business days once G53JW has been released, once it shipped it'll take 6~10 days to deliver.

I was just looking at the GenTechPC website
there is a option called Thermal Compound , do you guys recommend getting the IC Diamond 24 Carat Thermal Compound on both CPU/GPU ?

does it help alot ? Why would you need it , sorry for asking a noob question?

No.. he's probably referring to USPS delivery (US postal service) which they use for international orders.

If you use comgateway, you need to tell Ken to deliver to the US address which the comgateway website gives you. In this case, GentechPC will ship using UPS since it is within USA. In my case, it took 4 days for UPS to deliver to comgateway.
Then you have to wait for comgateway to inform you they received it, then you pay comgateway, after which they will ship to you via DHL (4 days for me).
For me it took 11 days (incl weekend) from the time GentechPC shipped it out until it reached my door.

It is probably faster if you ask gentechpc to send directly to you via USPS, but its bit more expensive and there is risk of you not getting it delivered to your doorstep (either held up by poslaju or kastam)

You can get Ken to check the unit for you before shipping. Just mention what are your concerns and he will try his best to get the techies in the warehouse to inspect your unit before shipment. It's heavy around 5~7KG, I haven't actually weight my fully loaded backpack but it feels like nearly 10 KG with my accessories listed below minus the printer of course

For my laptop, it was calculated as volumetric (10.5 kg), and total comgateway shipping cost was USD 96.87.

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.

I have checked out other brands. Alienware could not offer the performance of a G73, and MSI, Sager doesnt have warranty support in Malaysia. Just that now, im a bit stuck on whether to get G73JH or G73JW. Decisions, decisions and decisions.

Asus seem to be the best option, as i could get warranty support internationally. At the same time, G73 offer the best performance for the least bucks. Looks sleek too. Decent temps.

The only thing i dont like is the GSOD crap, and thats all.

I guess i'll email Ken about this.

@thxxht you said ur using comgateway to ship into malaysia... is that better than gentech's USPS shipping service?

Still, it sucks to buy a new laptop with shitty driver initially.

I know that my old M1530's nVidia driver was damn crappy initially, with the stock ancient driver that cant even run UT3. After updating the drivers, i was able to run on Medium.

Well, from what i see G73JW seem to have better pasting, while the old model G73JH didnt.

Not surprised if your temps are good, IMO.

How is it so far?

Damn, now you tempt me to buy JW instead.
