Comments about ASUS G73JH-A1 17.3-in Gaming NB EN Notebook:

This purchase was by far one of the best I've made in a long while. I mostly use my laptop for computer gaming. Ex: Medal of Honor Beta, World of Warcraft, Aion, Grand Theft Auto 4, etc. I love the quality of the video and the speed I can browse the web or play my games. The only downside I've found is the weight of the device, but the pro's far exceed the con's.

This laptop is blazing fast with an awesome LED display. The backlit keyboard along with the rear facing dual fan cooling ports and angled chassis allow for hours of game play. Abe's of Maine had the best price [...] ASUS includes a carry bag with the laptop from the factory.

Comments about ASUS G73JH-A1 17.3-in Gaming NB EN Notebook:

I use this product for working with Maya 2011 and some gaming like Starcraft 2. The ATI 5870 card is the best you can get for a laptop other than expensive pro cards. Both my games and Maya run smooth sometimes the graphics card seems slower if the laptop is not plugged in. The HDMI out is handy for hooking up to the TV with full sound. The screen is top notch and very bright for a laptop. There are two hard drives, I am contemplating switching one out to SSD but that voids the amazing warranty according to Asus. To top it off this came with a great backpack for carrying the laptop and a great mouse.[...]

Comments about ASUS G73JH-A1 17.3-in Gaming NB EN Notebook:

Definately love the speed, power, and storage capability of this machine. Its got a great screen, blu-ray capability, and t is so light, quiet, and cd for its class. The only time you wil ever hear significant noise out of the thing is during startup. The fans are facing out the back, so you can place it on the bed no problem. It comes with a backpack, so this normally bulky laptop becomes alot easier to transport. However, it has a short battery life, and I do not ig the kyboard, I'm used to a different key spacing, so expect a number of typos until your fingers adjust.

Comments about ASUS G73JH-A1 17.3-in Gaming NB EN Notebook:

Any review online of this laptop you find will give this raving reviews. Personally, this has been the best laptop I ever owned. For the price and spec, it just cannot be beat. At the time of my review there are few laptops that sport the Radeon 5870. There is minimal heat and since the air is sucked from the keyboard compared the traditional bottom of the laptop, this can be on your lap and not burn.

I am a gamer and and played the latest games on the default resolution at great frame rates, 30fps minimum. Highly recommend.

Comments about ASUS G73JH-A1 17.3-in Gaming NB EN Notebook:

I use this console for gaming, watching movies, and for work. It's a great console that accomplishes all tasks required, and would also make a good desktop replacement. The battery life can go really quickly, however, there are settings you can use in the console to extend the life; depending on what functions you need at the time. I had some trouble with the computer freezing at first; however, after a call with ASUS Tech support and a few adjustments - I've had no further problems with it. Overall I would give this product a 4 to 4.5 out of 5 stars. [...] Thank you for your time and help.
