Hi guys..anyone know the best Asus laptop below RM2500? Can I have Intel Core i3, 4GB RAM for that price?

Wrong place dude, this is ROG/Gaming Performance ones. There's another Asus thread.

to G73SW owners , is the G73sw currently a stable laptop or does it have quite a number of problems like g73jh ?

Sorry mate..thanks..

hi..erm is this the right place for me to ask where can i buy the asus g53jw with the most reasonable price?

sorry but ive tried searching for it but couldnt find one..

sort of, you want new or used? new then you can import it from america or check with putochip123 whether he's importing any units soon. Used then erm.... not really, maybe give you an idea what the price range should be.

erm back to back order? i think he means he got no stock unless you order from him, then he order from USA.

RM5.4k for the new sandy bridge? if you don't want the the bag and mouse stuff you can try asking putochip for a slightly better price (maybe RM100-200 off)

but ultimately the best price you can get is if you order from USA (reseller like Gentechpc) yourself. I think it should be around RM5k or just under that, including shipping from comgateway.

The thing is that if you order from putochip, you dun need to trouble yourself with the shipping stuff, so its sort of a luxury. But I'll recommending getting it from USA yourself if you can.

i see...mybe ill try take a look at the xotocpc first. i read that they cn even customise the backlit keyboard colour! about buying from US company, will there be any problem regarding the custom or tax?

may i know where do u get urs?

DoubleU got it from GenTechPC(Ken), No tax imposable to computer parts/laptop.

yea.... change the backlit? follow the guide on the front page. Dun waste money imo.

and if you use congateway they use DHL to send their stuff, so pros
1) its cheaper
2) it arrives at your doorstep

ok..so hearing a lot from u guys, it is cheaper buying it from US company, i think ill take ur advice.

so comgateway (its coMgateway, right?) will serve as a 'delivery man' and buy the laptop from gentechpc. is that how it goes?

p/s: yea...for about $50, i guess it is a waste just to change the backlit colour of the keyboard

It just a delivery man, you still the one buying the notebook and send it to comgateway..

aha..nice to know that . putting the comgateway aside for a while, what is the best website (easiest way to pay/communicate n cheap) to buy this laptop from? xoticpc or gentechpc?

Anyone using the sandy bridge unit yet? any difference? going to sell my current one...may grab the G53 or may swap camps

ure selling ur core i7 740qm solely for 2630qm/2720qm ?
i'd say it is not worth it ;/

So no additional extras apart from just the Sandy Bridge proc eh, thought so. I need a laptop which i can carry around. Trying to move the G73 around will give me a back ache for life...so gotta let go my precious

the differnece between the weight of g53 and g73 is roughly 100-200 grams only...

Hi guys,

Humbly requesting your help here.
I'm thinking of selling off my G73JH soon because of no more time to play games. It was bought from Singapore in Apr/May '10.
Its original box (plus contents) and backpack is still with me.
What should be an acceptable price for me to let it go?

I have to agree with Pewufod. Performance gap is not big. G73 weight is considerately better than alienware.

It depends on how long has it been used and condition. Usually would be 4k to 4.5k for 1 year usage. Its up to u to put the price though.
