ASUS G73JH-A1 with ATi Mobility Radeon HD 5870 1GB GDDR5

a while ago I saw a presentation, engadget I think, where they said the airflow would go through the keyboard to the two fans.

Cant find the damn presentation now :-(

 

Wow, that Intel touch is pretty dam sweet. Looks like something out of iRobot or something haha. I wonder how this would compare with the HP Envy 15 and the AW m17x

 

Oh well that may be the case!

To be honest I didn't think of that option, that would be cool (pardon the pun).

I wonder how I could test it - take a tub a talc powder

 

notebook runnin eyeinfinity



Looks life Acer Aspire One Ferrari Ed, but whats that big box connecting all the monitors together?? external GPU??

 

Hmmmm 135 MB, the wireless was quite slow so not sure I will be able to get away with a download that large.

Can you think of something smaller?

 

Most likely an external video card.

 

why not dl it now and install it via a USB device? =P

 

thats a thin n' light running a flight sim via ATI's XGP.

 

Yeah I thought about that earlier today but I don't think it would go down too well. Is that a good benchie to run then?

 

for detailed system specs, this is the smallest app i know of

http://www.piriform.com/speccy

 

iirc, speccy relies on a database so it'd not have any real good info on the G73. unigen is probably the smallest benchmark I know of that we can actually use to compare GPUs somewhat well

 

Ok I'll see what I can do.

Oh by the way did anyone do anything with those PCMark Vantage Gaming results I uploaded?

 

I'll have to dl PCMark vantage tomorrow and test what res again?

 

Well I don't know what the results were - it didn't tell me.

All it would allow me to do is upload them or save as pcr file.

(Remove .txt extension)

 

What camera do you have?

 

Panasonic GF1 with 20mm f/1.7 pancake lens - beautiful little thing it is, I'm just a crap photographer.

 

that box is what is necessary to split the signal

lik,e i said they need a adapter for the notebook for eyefinity

 

eh? that box is an XGP, I saw a video about it. its like vidock but made by ATI. it had a 5830.

 

You could take a paper and hold it next to the central base vents to see if it experiences any suction, pref while runnin furmark to make sure fans are at full speed

 

I'd like to see temperatures for this thing. GPU-Z combined with Furmark should be very small and should give us a good picture on the cooling.

I'm a bit skeptical about the twin fans not having their own intake other than the big grill in the middle. They're going to be choking like the previous G laptops.

 

He did do that but hwmonitor didn't sense gpu temp. check his previous posts

 

it just came out so the program cant pick up the sensor because it doesnt know where to look,

 

Wow, finally read the posts of today, this thread is on fire!
Very informative and even entertaining
Want to thank iaTA for his great contribution to the thread, please keep it up man!
I was thinking about figuring out where the air intakes are in this lappy, perhaps a hair or a thin slice of soft paper ran across potential places, one of those fuzzy feathers that are in pillow? lol!
You sure had me laughing at the (visual) thought of using talcum powder lmao! That would with no doubt loose us our CES insider , anyways, txs again man, rep added!
Also thank to the mods for being cool and keeping this thread open, would be a shame if it would get closed, this thread prompted me to sign up and become an avid reader here
So gang,lets keep it on topic and enjoy the ride, threads like this don't come everyday!
On a quick note, my resolve to wait for a while longer to preorder is fast weakening, the value here is simply incredible, a lot of machine as a whole for the money!
Here is hoping for Asus to become a gaming powerhouse!!
(downs his chocolate milk glass)
Jose.
PS: hey, I sure wouldn't mind those CES booth babes videos uploaded

 

I too have just spent the better part of the past 2 hours reading through this very long but informative thread -thus prompting me to register. I was on the verge of pulling the trigger on the G51 laptop as I've been glued to newegg.com and reading the new reviews that keep coming in...having little to no experience with laptops thus far and having not gamed for ...oh, about 10 years, I felt extremely rusty and timid about actually spending 1000+ for a new rig - especially a laptop (never bought one before). however, like another poster on this thread, i too am headed for iraq in a few short months and would like to have a gaming laptop to destress with.

the whole BSOD thing with the G51s have me worried, and I am wondering if this could potentially be a problem with this G73 coming out soon. with little to no experience mucking around with computers and being stuck in the middle of the desert, i'd hate to spend 1600+ dollars and get stuck with problems and not have the ability to fix them while deployed...

TIA for whomever has thoughts and appreciate the wealth of information that has already gone into the past 168 pages worth (though i admit i skipped a few pages here and there...and here and there some more to make it to the end...)

Jon

 

IMO the G51J was a quickly implented and poorly done job of adding i7 to their line up as quick as possible. The G73 is the flagship of their new gaming line (as stated by their reps) and while there might be issues, I don't think BSODing will be one of them.

 

Can you beat a laptop which was based on the Stealth Bomber if you're going to Iraq

Seriously though do you not need something a little more portable? If size isn't a concern you probably can't beat this thing. As I said before it looks and feels incredibly robust, front line worthy

 

do you have any suggestions for portability without compromising gameplay?

 

New M11x by alienware i guess.. that their key market

 

The HP Envy 15 might work.

 

both of those compromise gameplay .....

Sager 8662? Its a oldie but goodie

 

I think I'm gonna buy Moo's M17x instead of waiting for this Asus. I'm thinking a P8600/4GB/260M SLI will outperform this ASUS for gaming purposes.

I'll get bragging rights for having two 260's in my desktop and two 260m's in my laptop.

 

1 260 scores 6297 overclocked .... 2x 260's scores .... 11,500 .....

the ATI is at 7xxx

But yea, The 5870m is not what it was hyped to be. But its still decent

 

As not to double post, here is a new little tid-bit!

 

Gentech doesnt ship to sweden do they? i saw some1 writing that it would be more cheap for ppl in europe to order from their website

 

this thread has been extremely helpful in convincing myself to get this laptop. while I may not have too much tech knowledge to add to the debate, I can post results all day...

Windows Experience Index (i recall someone asking for it)

Description Windows Experience Index : Unrated
Rating 5.8 (wow gaming score is bottleneck, how?? btw how much does 280m get?)

Sub Indices Name Description Title Score
Memory 8.00 GB Memory (RAM): 7.3
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU Q 720 @ 1.60GHz Processor: 6.9
HDD 38GB Free (75GB Total) Primary hard disk: 5.9
Gaming Graphics 4091 MB Total available graphics memory Gaming graphics: 5.8
Graphics ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 Graphics: 5.9

(i think it says unrated on top, coz results must not have been refreshed after installing proper drivers, 5.8 gaming graphics score just not possible otherwise, my 8700mGT gets 5.5!)

 

1. that WEI score is off by a large margin because it doesn't have proper drivers yet. secondly, its 4x2GB because it has 4 slots, giving you the ability to upgrade to 8GB of ram cost effectively while maintaining dual channel ram speed gains.

 

For those pre-ordering did you go with Intel Pro Wireless or the standard Wireless-N that comes with the laptop? Typically I upgrade to Pro because N isn't available in standard, but I see the Asus comes with standard Wireless-N.

 

I think the differences are from Intel 5100 to intel 5300

 

Thanks, I hated the 5100 in my last laptop so I will go with the 5300.

 

iaTa, can you please run 3dMark06 on the G73 today at CES. Thanks, thanks and more thanks. ^^

Oh, another thing, I don't see any multimedia key to easily skip and pause music. Why that?

EDIT: they use the arrow keys to do it... crap. >.>

 

New Europa price in the Netherlands: 2040 euro.
http://www.castle-e.nl/Shop/?CategoryId=453057438

 

LOL...the asus g73 costs 2000 euros, I bet the 'lucky' americans will probably pay like 1700 dollars (= 1400€?) for exactly the same machine. I might aswell buy a plain ticket to the usa and buy it there.

 

Then take 1 with you for me

 

It seems from the pics and videos that there is very little ground clearance.

 

Zarok, is there an ETA as January 22nd, still, or did lightening not strike twice?

 

YES!!

Good news for everyone in europa, found a new shop that looks trustable!

Belgium: http://asus.hardware.be/p/ASUS/90NY8A344D1213VT350
1750 euro inc tax.

Netherlands: http://asus.hardware.nl/p/ASUS/90NY8A344D1213VT350
1820 euro inc tax. Seems like NL has more tax then Beglium. Also an other site:
http://www.castlebusiness.nl/Shop/Default.aspx?ProductId=453477880 for 1710 euro.
Prices changes from 1710 to 2200 now here...

And, on both pages it says that the laptop will be in stock in 2 weeks. So no march

 

Good.

I still can't see any price here in Italy.
