Asus G73jh in India?

Hi guys, has anyone bought the G73jh in India? and if someone has, can u tell me u got it? I really want to buy one!

 

well it isn't in india .. u need to import from US.. u can buy from US online reseller called www.xotipc.com or www.gentechpc.com... or u can buy from ebay... but i doubt it's in india.. knowing india , since i'm from there too , stuff takes a year to go there..

 

Try your local Chroma store. If they don't have them you can also ask Asus India where they have them for sale in your area.

If you still can't get a definitive answer, your next best option would to probably get one from a US reseller like gentechpc and have them ship it to you.

 

Why would you want a Laptop like this
when the Net Speed in India is not even 1Mbps

When will they get 10Mbps Internet
i think by 2015

thats sad, really wish they get better speed

 

There's more to a laptop than just going on the internet

 

too true... and trust me , even with the crapiest internet plan in india , i still got 1Mb/s +... that is on a lousy plan... better plans are available and don't think india is backward... it might not be as modern was US but still , its still better than other countries around it... and don't critise india like that.. this indian will shoot u down..

 

Its not available in India. Even though you will manage to buy from USA, then what about warranty ? If you had some problem with the unit, again you have to send it to the reseller with the burden of highly costly postal charges for to and fro. So think before buying an Asus laptop in India. They have to go a long long way here.

 

So, do you think a person will buy a gaming laptop like this primarily for internet ? For internet a Rs 20,000/- laptop will also do.

Again who told you that you do not have option of even 1 MBPS in India ??? I'm having 2 MBPS line at home from BSNL with a monthly rental of Rs 500/- with additional other free goodies. BSNL even offers 24 MBPS plans. Yes, you can say its not cheap like USA in India yet.

 

Asus has repair facilities in India and any Asus laptop purchased from a US reseller comes with a 2 year global warranty. So you shouldn't have any problems sending your US bought G73 to the Asus India repair center. The only problem is that the repair center may not have an inventory of G73 parts and would have to order them from Taiwan. This may potentially lengthen the turnaround time for the repair.

 

The broadband penetration in the USA is pitiful, it's as bad as it is in india - sure, great speeds if you're in a city and can afford it ... but most of the USA isn't in a city.

And 1mbps isn't bad for transfer speeds, considering I grew up with a 14.4 and thought 56k modems were FAST...

 

UNLESS YOU GET IT FROM BEST BUY... and the -x models (at regular resellers) have only 1 year.

 

I'd consider Best Buy more as a retailer, but either way, some Asus Best Buy units do have 2 year warranties. Although most of the time they are only 1 year.

 

That should read:

I think any USA reseller is not offering FREE shipping to India. The shipping cost has to paid by the consumer. Correct me, If I'm wrong.

 

Just to clarify, I didn't write the original post and the URL was corrected for the purpose of accuracy. I have no idea what would be involved shipping a G73 to India from the USA. I would presume if the seller was going to make the transaction, that the buyer would also be responsible for the shipping.

 

Most of the seller will not ship free of cost to other countries outside the US.

I myself ordered N71JQ-A1 from Gentech PC.
The shipping cost with USPS from USA to Germany was 149$.

 

how long did it take for it to reach u with clearing customs etc?

 

From USA to Germany with clearing the customs the N71JQ took around 14 days.

 

ooh... that's quite short time... maybe i'll buy from a US reseller... but i'll have to wait for 14 days.. can't wait that long lol.. i can get off ebay quickly but more expensive.. decisions , decisions.

 

I bought is from Gentech PC in USA.

There were two reasons why I ordered it from a seller in USA .
Fisrt, it was not available in Germany when I ordered it back at start of February.
Second, the seller is very good and trustworthy. Ken Lee from Gentech PC is among the best.
I don't like to buy something so expensive from eBay outside European Union.

 

I stay in India and I bought one from the US and got a friend who was coming back from there to get it along with him...
But the screen failed after 3 weeks and now i'm waiting for asus to send a replacement display..

 

Do you have to send the laptop back? I'm worried, since I'm having it brought to Nepal. (To previous posters: ADSL internet here is even slower. I'd kill for 1mpbs. lol)

 

mine is in EU so good more me.. actually it is in UK...

 

usually, these notebooks are world class and nothing really should happen to them.

However, if it DOES go wrong, asus will repair for you in your country. If they dont have spares available, they are supposed to import it for you and repair your machine, the downside of this being increased turnaround times usually 30 days.

 

Hi guys even am planning to buy the best buy model and i live in india.. Will ask my friend in US to bring it here.. What about best buy warranty am really confused

 

I wouldn't mention to Best Buy that you are taking it overseas

 

Bhai
get it from Dubai
u can get warranty too
which they will support in India

also E mail Asus & ask them
they might be able to sell u extended world wide warranty
try that

 

@DCx : LOL....same here too, grew up 56Ks. Just imagine my reaction when my 56K was replaced by a 2Mbps the next day somewhat a year ago. (the internal modem, successfully 'dismantled' ha ha) !!

 

Is it cheaper in Dubai than USA ? Most of Asus laptops ve 2 yrs of global warranty, so it does not matter from where you buy. But careful if Asus have adequate service centers in India and the relevant parts of ur model available in India

 

Like i mentioned before, i stay in India and i bought a G73 from the US. My screen had failed(PSOD) and Asus service center in Delhi got the replacement shipped in from Taiwan and replaced it w/o any hassles..
it took 24 days though :/

 

56K? You were spoiled.

The first "modem" I used involved putting the phone's handset into an acoustic coupler. I've seen nearly every iteration since then and could open my own museum.

 

My first modem was a 300 baud unit for my Commodore 64.

 

Yep, had one of those too.

Was it a black box with the switch on the side to go "on-line"?

 

I just came by this thread as happenstance and would like to tell the OP that G73Jh is not available in dubai or UAE anywhere, as I have spoken to the Asus Customer service here myself! The best thing you can do, if you have not already purchased it by now as the last post was over 2 months ago is to buy it from xoticpc or gentech and the shipping will cost you $150, which I have confirmed with Ken Lee at gentech.

 

well since someone brought this thread back from the depths,
for the OP and all Indian Asus fans, the G73JH-TZ128V is now retailing in India for ~Rs92,000
still cheaper to have a friend bring it in from the US if possible

 

Live with your luck as Asus does not sell the model in India its again too difficult to get their service with a finger count Asus centers in India. If you live in India then you must have know the brand value of Asus here. People even never heard of its name ! Still lets hope you will not have any problem with your G53JW, then go for it as its a good laptop with FHD screen.

 

What happened to your SXPS 1645 ???
CPU throttling and more heat ?
If its in warranty ask Dell to replace it with a new SXPS 1647 along with a 130watt adapter and to send a coolingpad

 

Whts the Internet speed in India now
I hear its getting better ?

Are you get 10Mbps or lower ?

Thanks

 

If you have money to spend you can get upto 24 MBPS. Still broadband is in its infant stage here. In future there will be more speed with less price.

But if you ask me, I have budget 2 MBPS plan for monthly Rs 500/- (approx $11.5) and its sufficient for me.

 

How much would the 24 MBPS
or can get less 10/15 MBPS be for ?

Rs 5000 or .....

thxs

 

Is this unlimited ? what part of the country are you residing ?

I am in pune...have a airtel connection 512 day / 1 Mbps Night unlimited and i pay 1100 monthly.

I don't think anybody's still able to get the JW version (In India) yet.. I prefer ATI 5870 over Nvidia 460m anyways.

Somethings u must know..
--------------------------------
# ATI Mobility 5870 > Nvidia 460m
# ATI 5xxx is present best cards available in laptops, though Nvidia 460m will handle futuregames better! (Dx-11)
# The JW models came wid some awesome changes..hopefully with less troubles though.
# Nvidia has tessellation advantage over ATI.

 

^change it to smartshoppers.in... the .com is some shady fake site..

 

Anyone in Mumbai sell Clevo Laptops ?
NP8850 or NP7280 ?

Wonder how that would do

 

i myself got an internet connection of 2mbps.(FOR OVER MORE THAN 4 YEARS)
and here in india connection speed of 24mbps is also available.....

 

Done so! Thnx man..

 

I guess so! U may get any laptop u want.. it'll go in preorder though! They'll add ur piece with the others being imported too..

 

@URPradhan where do you live 2mbps just Rs.500 O_O . i bet its not unlimited

I have " BSNL Home 500 C" plan which perfectly suits me and the quick snapshot is as ....

1. Monthly rental Rs 500/-
2. No (zero) rental for land line phone
3. 175 free monthly calls
4. After 175 free calls, all calls of Re 1/- (one India plan)
5. 2 MBPS line

7. Night unlimited (2AM-8AM): THIS IS THE BEAUTY. Din main browse karo, raat ko download (use OS schedulers). You can download approx 4+ GB per night
