    G73 will be way better.. it has ATI HD 5870 which can run games at full HD res easily but the BB version is only 1600X900.. i recommend u get the X1 version at least which is $1499... it will have i7-720qm , 8GB RAM , ATI HD5870 and full HD screen... IMO , BB version kills G73 by not putting a full HD screen.

    Opinion..

    I have the RBBX05 - 1600x900 - and I love it - Besides the random stuff like an extra HD. blu ray and 2 extra GB of RAM (Which you will NEVER utilize) the screen is the only "bigger" factor between the two ;) So go with what res you want rather than the other useless things like "more ram"
