Review submitted for Asus G73JH-A1 Intel i7-720QM, 17.3-inch Notebook (ASG73JHA1)
Pros: Comfortable Keyboard, Fast, Adequate Storage
Cons: Lacks External Ports
Other Comments: It was time to upgrade from my 2005 Dell Precision M70, and I wanted to play games. I do not have much experience with which to compare this laptop to other than my research, and in my research, this was the best bang for the buck if you want to play games. The only thing I feel I sacrificed was eSATA or USB 3.0 ports. But at the moment I don't have any external devices that use those cables anyway. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the package to find that the aesthetics of this thing in real life are much better than in the pictures, and I thought it looked cool in the pictures. The keyboard is taking a little getting used to, and I definitely agree with reviews that state that the keyboard is more cramped than necessary, but that's not to say that it is overly cramped. With ample HDD space, ample memory, a smart processor, and a ATI Radeon Mobility HD 5870, you can take comfort in the fact that this laptop can take anything you throw at it. And you can take that literally too, since it has a 1 year Accidental Damage Warranty. You can spend loads more trying to configure an alienware or whatever else to similar specs, but it's not going to give you the same value (obviously). You can't even get a 17 inch macbook for this price. In my opinion, this is THE answer for portable gaming.

Review submitted for Asus G73JH-A1 Intel i7-720QM, 17.3-inch Notebook (ASG73JHA1)
Pros: Adequate Storage, Comfortable Keyboard, Fast
Cons: Poor Battery Life
Other Comments: While some may poke fun at this laptops look as being a bit gimmicky, the looks perform their function well which is to keep this great performaning laptop quite and cool. The palm rest never gets warm. I never hear the fans. The only part that gets a bit loud is the blu-ray drive. The display is wonderful. The only real all junk you should uninstall once you receive it.

5 out of 5 stars   Great Computer
By Wenge on July 23, 2010

Review submitted for Asus G73JH-A1 Intel i7-720QM, 17.3-inch Notebook (ASG73JHA1)
Pros: Fast, Lightweight, Adequate Storage, Comfortable Keyboard
Cons: Poor Battery Life
Other Comments: This computer lived up to my expectations and is lighter in weight than I expected. I did some upgrades as soon as I received the computer and these went without a hitch. I removed the primary hard drive, cloned it to a 256 GB high speed SSD, and then upgraded from Windows 7 Home to Windows 7 Ultimate. With the upgrades and out of a current maximum of 7.9, this computer has the following Windows Experience Ratings: 7.1 Processor, 7.4 Memory, 7.2 Graphics, 7.2 3D, and 7.6 Disk. With the SSD installed, the computer cycles from power on to windows in 15 seconds and shutdowns in 5 seconds. Just keep in mind that you will not get this high performance out of the box as the disk speed and start/stop times are directly related to the SSD drive. The display is crystal clear and the keyboard and mouse are very comfortable to use. The only downside I see is the battery life. It would be very hard to get much use from this computer without an external power source but it does run on batteries for over an hour. That said, this is an excellent computer and is meeting the heavy demands I put on it.
