    anyone know of any sites or any forum members that have pictures of both the asus g73jh and alienware m17x together. I would just like a comparison shot of the size between both since I saw the asus g73jh today at best buy. Made me wonderer how the m17x compaires in physical size. I didnt like the shape of the asus g73jh.... and the bezel around the LCD is quite thick compared to the pictures I have seen of the m17x. The asus g73jh was quite a bit larger width wise to other 17 inch laptops due to the bezel.

    The M17x may not be as long but it dwarfs the G73 in overall size. I can take a comparison pic but I'm still waiting for the M17x.

    u already have a g73? how do you like it?

    is the overall thickness of the m17x about the thickness of the G73 exhaust? The pictures look like the alienware is smaller but double the thickness in the front. If you get yours soon post some side by side pics of the different angles. Im torn between the two.

    Not as well built as the M17x and I don't like the chiclet keyboard but it is a lot more portable and quieter.

    the asus certainly looks more restrained, and more portable. but i can't see myself holding the edge of the asus and not fearing the thing will break in two.

    the alienware screen looks very red to me. and how many mice does one guy need?

    The G73 has a built in handle to carry it around. lol

    It's very easy to handle from the back.

    Further discussion/questions on the G73 can be made in the ASUS forum.

    Thanks.
