Acer Aspire 8942G vs Asus G73JH

hi, new member here.

I am deciding to buy either Acer Aspire 8942G or Asus G73JH.

I have some questions in regard to this and would greatly appreciate if people can give me some advice/information/opinions on these:

1) When will either of these 2 models be available for general sale? Especially Taiwan since I plan to buy a laptop with traditional Chinese keyboard / TC Windows 7

2)How much will either of these cost approximately?

3)From the info I gathered, the only difference between these 2 is just the monitor size. Is there any other hidden difference that I missed?

4)Any other opinions on how they stack against each other?

Thanks!

 

Hey, welcome to the forums.

1) g73jh will be shipped around mid-late feb, and I believe Acer Aspire 8942G will be shipped soon also.
2) http://1toppc.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=G73JH-A1&Category_Code= go to the link and customize and see how much it comes out for you. 8942G will cost around 1457.19 EUR (~ 2092 dollars). more information here (you can customize 8942g also)
3) GPU is different. more detail on #4.
4) http://translate.google.com/transla...owpost.php?p=134637&postcount=238&sl=de&tl=en
go to this link. it has a Mobility Radeon 5850 with 1024MB GDDR3 (Core Clock: 625MHz, Memory Clock: 800MHz)
this means G73jh will outperform the 8942g.
g73jh is included with Mobility Radeon 5870 with 1024MB GDDR5, and it'll be better than GTX 280M (well, that's what people are expecting we gotta wait and see the real-world benchmarks.)

 

allanh,

Your creation of this thread is somewhat a double posting. Since you began this discussion in the G73JH Crew Members Lounge ( here), and so that I am not double posting, I have more appropriately replied to your original post.
