    Alright I did have the new G73SW-A1 but had to send it back to amazon yesterday for a full refund. When I called Asus they recommended to send it back since I only had it for two days and they said it won't be until April 1st till the lineup comes out with the fixed chip set. Now here is my dilemma.

    While waiting for Amazon to receive my laptop and get my refund I am doing some research. I am looking at the G73JW-3DE. They have it on amazon for $1899 which is not bad for the high end screen and 3D support. Pretty much everything is the same as the SW except the processor and chipset. Still has the hybrid hard drives, same memory and video card. Also has the blue ray burner which is nice a feature. Now I'm trying to figure out if I should wait till April for the new SW model with the fixed chipset and pay a lot since it will be new or get the G73JW-3DE instead. If anyone has either the JW-A1 or 3DE let me know how it is with the latest drivers. From my research there pretty good models and not much different from the SW.
