Almost 4am here... but I can't stop refreshing this thread every 5 min...

 

is it just me or is anyone else curious about the backpack that comes with it. For one, it looked really cool and less flashy then the old ROG bags, but also, as we have seen with the mouse. They are not sticking too closely to the picture.
HP Voodoo Mouse == Razer Abyssus
Awesome Bag == .........
pics please(ill settle for iphone snaps)

 

Hey resellers, how about the 2 vs 3 antannae question?
not to be rude, i know your all busy shipping them out as fast as you can.

 

The bag is another reason I'm interested in this laptop. (Aside from the mouse.)

It's either this + ROG backpack = perfect match or
ASUS G51JX + ROG backpack = perfect match.

So far the mouse is a letdown for me. MMORPG + no thumb button(s) = fail.

And I don't want a generic Targus or Swiss Gear. I want one that ASUS has specifically matched up with their notebook.

 

I like the black design of the backpack...looks legit for a freebie.

 

I did Crysis Very high which was 17fps but forgot to get a screen cap but here is a high run... Going to throw in my SSD and do a fresh install to get rid of all this bloatware etc... There is 83 processes running out of the box and a TON of stuff installed in Add/Remove....

 

Would someboday who already got the baby tell me something about the LCD.How does it looks like?
what is the manufcturer of the LCD on the G73? Samsung?LG? or some other manufacturers in Taiwan, China?

 

Uploading pictures now, will take a bit.

 

Tethering with my iPhone right now, but will be at school soon to upload all the pics. Here are a couple, and if I can manage the pic with the drivers and stuff, I'll up that too

The G73 is under the wife's Toshiba 15.4 Satellite. Not much bigger really

 

The German version from amazon.de DOES have Bluetooth, too! It's an typing error of the webpage. There are no accessoires, indeed, But I preordered mine from them, it might be $200 cheaper from the US (shipping ought to be 140$, not 450$ as you mentioned), but I prefer the German keyboard without the hassle of changing it, And I wouldn't even know where. Besides, warranty issues might be easier.

 

when I first saw the Toshiba I panicked thinking that the inside was actually glossy... untill I read the little AMD sticker,
I really need to stop and actually read the contents of the posts sometime... if any of you could upload pictures of the bag, that would be great...

 

Hmm, if I am in the shipment next week I may have to get it overnighted Thanks for all the pics and info so far to everyone that has received one. I can't wait to see how high the GPU will OC stable, 30fps in Crysis on High steady would be nice. Keep it coming!

 

Same here. Scared me for a sec.

 

now that is funny

 

Hello everyone! i have read pretty much all 552 pages of this thread (so far xD) and I really want this lappy. I do not have enough money yet... but wish me luck! Anyway.. I would greatly appreciate videos of this laptop that include the mouse and bag as well as (of course) the laptop with games and heavy threaded applications. Thank you and it is an honor to join the forum.

 

I did the same

I gotta say this machine is VERY powerful for a single GPU machine...

 

..................................

 

About what I was expecting, very very similar score to a stock 5750. I think 2 of those in crossfire, with some overclocking will turn out very very nicely, as the desktop cards hit 5850 performance regions
Quad, can you run the test again with the settings at Extreme or Extreme settings at 1080p (4xAA, 16xAF, Extreme settings), for comparison purposes?

The DX10 Crysis results are actually very good for a mobile card.

 

Just not in th G73

 

Need Pictures... need videos!!! NEED MONEY!!

 

ahhh just woke up! SO STOKED to follow this thread ALL day : ) I should be getting my A2 in a couple days!

 

REP++;

and thanks ASUS for not gimping on the backpack and giving us something generic. this bag acually looks good. is it just me or does the bag look a little leathery. lol, I know it isnt but its funny to think about a leather bag...
sorry for going OT; G73>sleep

 

For those wondering about ram.
It is 4 X 2 GB @ 1333 Mhz. There are 3 reachable slots. One is underneath can't reach, but I confirm it is the same as the other three.

 

Can any g73jh owners test speakers? quality, volume, etc. How's the integrated microphone?

 

Even though I'm not receiving one today, it's a great day!

 

it sure is. I'm glad I waited for more than a month.

 

Good call. I saw the "SUBWOOFER" label on the bottom of the case, which I forgot about, and wondered the same thing. They've gotta sound pretty good.

 

Nice Quad. Have you tried to see if any of the ATI OC tools work?

 

In the owners thread, there's a picture of the intel wireless 1000 card with only 2 antennae attached...

 

so how is this stacking up to the 280m?

 

Any updates on expresscard, or lack thereof?

 

Quite a bit better. About 25% faster so far from the looks of it, either way we need to see more extensive benchmarks.
A single GTX280m would expect to hit about 5000-5500 in Vantage, this has hit 7450, SLI GTX280 only hits about 10k, so this is 3/4 of the speed of the dual card setup.
That Crysis result is also pretty decent for a single laptop card, as DX10 mode slows everything down, even with high settings.

 

Total lack thereof. Disappointing. Needed for gaming or not is irrelevant. Gamers normally want all they can get, regardless if they'll use it. I guess ASUS realized they probably won't use it, and left it out.

 

MMmmmm Is it just me or were the specs 2*4GB originally when pre-ordering? (saw the label info in the other thread you mentioned stating 2G*4 and I'm pretty sure I read 4G*2 ordering lol)

 

According to the order, it is 2GBx4

 

Ordered mine on the 17th from xoticpc and have been stalking all of you on this forums since then. Cannot wait till it gets here.

ps. NEED MORE BENCHMARKS AND PICS

 

I didnt .. I am going to format and do a fresh install of Windows on the SSD first because of all the bloatware...

Also i have 0 way of monitoring temps... Everest nor GPU-Z are reporting anything at all... So until i know whats what i dont want to get to crazy...

 

I just wanna see the GPU temperature after running Furmark xtreme burning mode.

 

can we get some pictures of the insides Quad? to see the cooling and layout
