1. Where to buy these Asus G-Series gaming notebooks? For instance: Asus G73.
A = You have two alternatives to get yourself a R.O.G gaming notebook. First, you can buy it via local resellers around Malaysia. Click here for more information. Second, you can buy it via other countries resellers. For example, GenTechPC from US. Please refer to *** Where to Buy? *** section.


2. Any difference in price if I buy from Malaysia resellers or US resellers?
A = Yeah. For instance, the price difference of Asus G73Jh in Malaysia and US is astonishing. Malaysia one may cost you around RM10000.00 and the US one may cost you around RM6000.00 in relative (dependent on the currency exchange).
3. How much is the shipping/ delivery fee if I import the notebook from US?
A= The shipping/ delivery fee will vary from different freight forwarders and resellers. For instance, the USPS (freight forwarder) of GenTechPC (reseller) will cost you 149 USD.

4. How to do the wire transfer? Is it safe?
A = You can do it at any local bank but the most ideal one is Maybank as the transfer fee is the lowest of all, that is, around RM25. Nevertheless, you guys must bear in mind that the US bank will charge you some money for the transaction as well. For instance, 30 USD for the assigned bank of GenTechPC. As for the safety level, it is safe as long as you buy from a reputable reseller and follow the TT procedures.

5. May I use PayPal, PayPal eCheck or credits card to make the payment?
A = Usually, the resellers from US only accept wire transfer for international transaction. However, there are some members who manage to do their payment besides of TT. Thus, my advice is to ask the resellers first before making your payment.

6. How about the warranty of Asus notebook?
A = All Asus notebooks come with 2 years global warranty which means that you can claim the warranty wherever you are as long as that particular city has Asus service center. As for the 1 year accidental warranty, it only applies to North America.

with SSD it becomes more awesome.

Mech HDD can't beat SSD in anyways. Hybrid HDD still have a long way to beat its SSD brother.

The biggest plus of a SSD for me is, even when it's faulty, you can still clone the entire drive. Nothing's more important than your data.

Guys, any idea where to get that Keyboard TPU for G53 ? Thanks..

guys just want to confirm with u all
those who bought g53 s1208v will get logitech mouse right?
nt gaming mouse from asus?

ian913: G53SX non 3D - Logitech G300

So I've got myself a 24" LCD monitor that does 1920x1080. And I've finally got the chance to run the my g53sx at full hd. I've got to say, the crip still performs it's gaming duty admirably even at full hd. I'm not talking abt minecraft or dota at 1080p, im talking dem gpu killer games like metro 2033. I was always under the impression that it won't perform well cuz of the crippled memory bus.

Here are some results. Gaming was done with overclock and resolution at 1080p

The witcher 2 - med settings - some features disabled - avg 30-35 fps
Crysis 1 - med to high - 30 to 40 fps
Crysis 2 - high settings - 35 to 45 fps
Metro 2033 - med+dx11 - 35 to 45fps
battlefield 3 - medium preset - 35 to 40fps

The crip really struggles when I try to push things to all high, as it limited by the smaller bus width. But tune the details down abit to medium, and ull see good fps in ur gaming , as the smaller bus width is able to cope with the moderate flow of data coming from d gpu . And don't forget to overclock it to maximize ur gpus performance

Cripple GTX560M peforms well in High setting on FHD. Ultra will actually killed by the bus width limitation.

damn brah... now that ive tired gaming at full hd on a bigger screen, anything less than full hd is ugly to me..

Sorry to hear that but seems like GTX 570M is more suitable for G53SX 3DE performance.

It's all good brah. The 560m is good enuf for 3D gaming for all the gpu killer games given the screens low resolution.

Now I'm dreaming about 3D gaming on a big screen at full HD. Probaly have to built a desktop and SLI gpus to handle all that jazz at full hd

I'm still gonna stick to my QX6800 for the meantime. It still good for gaming.

but qx6800 is not a fully gaming gpu, more toward workstation

Its still a processor, depending on what usage will u be using. I did use it for processing my parents videos, game and rendering. Most of the time gaming before i got my G53SX.

u sure is g300?
why mine is logitech g400???

Mine one is also G400.

Hey trustmeiamlegit, what are your temps during idle and full load? I was kinda worried about mine...

chill man..

idle , sometimes higher 40s sometimes lower 50s

gaming when gpu usage at 99% .. 81C ... peaks at 82C...

how much u get??

i play with OC btw...

ahh~

Idle the lowest i got with cooler is 40c, but usually around 50c

For gaming, some games peaks at 82C too, like BF2, MW3. ( Without cooler and without OC )

Mind sharing your OC numbers? You use Afterburner or the Nvidia tool?

my clocks r shown in the links in my siggy... just click on the link haha... its stable for the witcher 2.. but not stable for crysis2.. need to downclock abit for crysis 2


i use afterburner !! .... cuz its so nice.. can see temps, gpu usage.. clocks freq.. and can make log file...

but the memory clock is limited to 1625mhz.. if u use nvidia inspector.. u can go more than 1625mhz for the memory clock

This post has been edited by trustmeiamlegit: Dec 2 2011, 05:14 PM

I see Are you on any cooler? Planning to get the SF19, haha. My current cooler is made for 14" only ._.

The black metallic mesh on the right vent is super hot while gaming, haha, cant put my finger on it for more then 5 seconds

yes.. i use cap ayam cooler pad.. lol.... i feel my temps still the same...!!

my finger can stand for 10 secs !

Cooler i feel got difference, some games peak 82c, but running around 73-82, not constant 80+. Even considered repaste, but the system is still quite new, rather wait till it hit 90+c first.

Lololol, must be dead skin, haha

calm dude, just switch off it totally, unplug the power cable from the lappy and press the start button few times to discharge any electric in you lappy. then plug back power cable to your lappy, switch on the plug then power on your lappy: now it should boot normally. dude this happened few times with my G53SW, I thinks is normal maybe due to cold boot or something else.

if forever unable to boot the you r done haha , warranty claim ASAP!

what nvidia driver are u on??

285.62

should be on the latest verde 285.62

fantastic.. did u play crysis 2 with this driver using overclock ??

Noo, i dare not attempt overclocking from my current temp yet, lol. I think I got *30-60 fps on Advanced. I didnt use any special patches to it

This post has been edited by Bluzzy-: Dec 2 2011, 05:47 PM

i c... ure on the 3d version rite?? u shud be able to play all the games out the at high to ultra settings at 1366x768 at stock clocks... since the stock core clock is quite high alredy.. 775mhz..

the reason im asking is, the 258.62 driver made my stable OC unstable in crysis 2 n mafia 2.. screen flashed... clocks were reset to stock... my OC was rock solid on 280.26 ... can game for 2 hours straight wihtout crashing..

hopefully someone here can confirm this..

so now im back to 280.26...

good thing abt 258.62 is that u get fps boost on certain games and battlefield 3 doenst crash// lol

Kudos on the new thread !!!

I think I read something like this before. What causes it is the magnetic sensor on the screen which tells the computer when the lid is closed or open...

If I'm not mistaken.. What you will wanna do is, use a small, mild-strength magnet, and rub it at the spot to the right of your touchpad where it would touch the lid when it is close.

Here is where you should do it



Rub on it with magnet for around 20-30 seconds while power is off and everything unplugged.. Do at own risk and goodluck

P.S: If this doesn't solve it, then the culprit is not the magnetic sensor

after seeing your symptoms i recall when i 1st get my laptop and switch it on. it was blank screen for more than 5 mins. for the moment i thought i got a defective unit . i switch it off and power on again and voila finally the display show sth for me. seem like this is common in this laptop right??

The power button issue very common on d g53sw . Seems like sx also. But ive never encountered it . Touch wood. I'm more concerned abt the brokened power connector pin . Heard alot of stories regarding this on the g53sw over the asusrog forums . It will be a nitemare if that happens

His issue wont be the power button ._. Coz it did turn on...

Probably the sensor got magnetized and thought the the lid was always closed, thus turning off the display

Well can he hear the start up sound?

Yeah. it starts like normal but blank screen from the moment i on it. Weird thing is all fn. buttons can be used ( i increase the keyboard light) but when i plug into external monitor it wont work even after pressing the switching monitor fn. button.

where did you guys bought your ROG

can i ask at here????
guys~can I know where can buy G53sx with best price?
yesterday I go Pc-fair ask for this, but it totally fixed the price...no discount at all...3999...even RM9 oso no discount....==

Malaysia Asus are selling old models...

The newer model has 2670 CPU and 1.5TB SSH while old model is 2630 and only 1TB non-ssh

Dude, give my method on Page 2 a try.. Nothing to lose

---

Added on December 3, 2011, 6:20 pmI got the 2670... But not the 1.5TB SSH. Only the 640GB

This post has been edited by Bluzzy-: Dec 3 2011, 06:20 PM

i gt saw the 2670....but nt hv 1.5tb ne....

Lucky me I got mine for RM3989 with free extra wireless mouse. Bought it at PC3 lowyat.
Stuff in pc fair are usually over price and old stock/model. I dont bother buying hardware at that place.

free wireless mouse??wat is the free mouse given for G53??normal mouse like other ASUS laptop?
he told me the 1208v gt 2 model....1 is 1920x1080....1 is 1366x768 one....his one is 1920x1080 one...so tat is why expensiv....wonder the lowyat guy sell me one is which model...becos i gt ask one promoter he can gv me with 3850 wif 8GB ram...scare it is 1366x768 one....

you gonna do much more than that to get this baby dude..

btw i got mine from lowyat plaza......

this one also need to do more research to get your baby, its not simply point and ask sometimes.


this one also the same, there is plenty version of G series, + got Malaysian version summore.

tat is why i ask all of u....since u all are G-series user now...

Its all written on the first page. Duh!

Ok, i just got back my laptop from my dealer, and they taught me a way to get my screen back on ; pull out the plug and press the power button and and switch power on again, something like that. apparently he said it is a BIOS problem and i have to wait for the update as the problem might occur again. According to him, it is related to hibernation mode where the laptop fails to recover from that and remains in hibernation. Weird thing is i managed to hear the startup sound when it first happened. Oh well, i guess ill keep using it till *touchwood* my screen blacks out again lol.

On the other note, i got my laptop for RM3790. Together with RAM upgrade to 16gb - RM5000. (including installing charges)

well said! hahaha esp the "duh" part!

Like i said earlier, that wireless mouse is just an extra item. Of course you will get the gaming mouse, just that in my case i got 2 mouse instead of 1
Lol theres nothing to scared about, its your money. Just ask them if the screen is FHD or just HD. Plus, you can confirm it yourself at the side of the box. It will state the resolution of the screen.
Here in lowyat.net, the cheapest I got offered is RM3850 but you have to booked first. If you cant wait like me, just buy it at the SRP RM3999 in any retailer shop.

@Kalist0
wow nice price but how come you ram upgrades is so freaking expensive?

This post has been edited by Volt: Dec 4 2011, 06:08 AM

I think he meant RM4k instead of RM5k??

my friend get the best offered is RM3700..

hmm sorry i got mine for 4790 not 3790 -.-" cause mine is 3D

This post has been edited by xxxcriminal: Dec 4 2011, 12:57 PM

Haha, now that make more senses. Kinda wonder WTH you willing to pay RM1k just for a ram upgrade

dissapointed on KLCC PCfair, the asus din show the G-Series lappy...><

lol g series -not for casual users. you need to dig deeper..

Thats true. Usually they dont display the G Series out. You can see the model being offered in their price listing.

G series also hard to see in public hahahah only seen 4 in my life (including mine)

got mine from lowyat for rm 3850, 1080 version, went over to SRI to get extra 4gb ram, installed for free. theres an extra goodie bag which comes with mouse, pad, cooler, screen cleaner, all sorts of funny stuffs with it.

shops name PRO-Action ICT, 2nd or 3rd floor, cant really remember. come up of escalator, towards the left, with a big Toshiba banner

but there a NVIDIA booth there, if u buy a lappy that day with gtx560 or 570 or 580m, u will get batman arkham city for free

Need to perform "Inception"!

kahtsin : Maybe thats why the model is categorized along with the F-117.

yeah, they are stealth

haha...this pc is stealth

yup but still no G series.... so no gtx560 and no no batman AC

lol very deep this one.

stealth fighter!

lol they knew F-117

yup, so sad...batman AC...hope to get this game..

Actually there are G Series display in PC Fair KLCC, just that no body realize its actually hovering across exhibition halls. Many ppl failed to overlook it as the crowd are flooding the paths.

I still like it when they did the pc fair at the pwtc. Viewing there is easy cos you can see your targeted booth from a far

agreed haha last time can climb the stairs and see from above

LYP totally out of stock....just left 3D model....

because the non 3d version is selling at a reasonable price and better than the alienware 15.

ya...tat is why i so urge to buy it....hear the promoter said...re-stock nid 2 week...walao eh...

Good luck with that waiting period. 2 weeks is not accurate. Pretty sure it'll drag longer. *touchwood*

Alternatively u could've go for Qosmio X775 with the same price range.
