I didnt just buy a game to play nade spam on one map.

Man, G74 looks much nicer.

I actually like the new keyboard layout. The keys are more spaced while the current G73 keyboard is very crammed. I tend to press the wrong button sometimes, especially near the numpad. I remember once i was playing NFS Shift, i was holding the Shift key instead of the the accelerate key when the race starts.

Larger vents, i think it's good, as you get more space to dissipate heat, but more chance for dust to settle inside too.

I also like the new speaker grill, as the old dust magnet speaker grill is gone. Mine is pretty much trapped with lots of dust particle. Not that pretty, but not really a big complain.

The new screen hinge is good too, as the old one is difficult to clean.

All i care is it can take the games i play well, im happy.

G74 looks cooler overall, but it lost the Stealth Fighter look.

I just hope Asus make G74 easier to dissemble, and also better cooling. Specs will be juicy as usual. If it has 2TB HDD space with Sandy Bridge and 560 for 6k sounds, it does sounds really good.

Looks a bit like a Zonda's back.

I love Zonda, maybe i should get this too?

The dust trap speaker grill is back.

Expect to spend like 5k and above for a G-Series laptop.

My G73 is having thermal issues now.

Tried running Furmark, it reach 98C in an air con room.

I have to repaste soon.

3D is just so overrated. It desaturates the colour and lose details on the screen. I don't see anyone wants to get a 3D able laptop.

Thats normal temp for 460GTX, as the idle clock is much lower than 5870.

5870 should be getting something like 53 to 60C on idle.

\Nope, cant find the time to get it done.

Nice, how was the repasting process?

Are those idle temps?

What browser are you currently using?

Holy crap, my G73JH price drop till like that. :/

Thats true.

Advantages:
- Biggest bang for buck.
- Decent LCD.
- Decent hardware.
- Good heat dissipation design, in general.
- Cool palm rest at high load.
- I like the design. Black low profile with angular shapes.
- 2 years warranty standard

Disadvantages:
- Some earlier batches have thermal paste issue
- Difficult to disassemble
- The keyboard is a bit crappy, especially for assignments and RTS games.
- No on site warranty
- Some QC complained from some people, like missing rubber feet
- Pretty expensive for the price you have to spend if you want to compare to desktop.

IMO, 3D as a whole is just a gimmick. Its not worth spending even a cent for it.

The image quality is worse, due to all the fancy 3D effects and it actually require your monitor to be 120Hz to pump out enough fps to run the game smoothly.

Just a video on DiRT 3 on my PC. Using the in game youtube uploader.

The maximum length is only 30 seconds.

It took me like 10 times to try to upload this video.

Dont know, and its pretty meaningless for me to upload more, cause it is so short till it showed nothing.

My GPU temps just keep going higher now.

Playing BC2 at 91C now.

Looks like the day i'll send it for repair will be coming soon.
