    I don't prefer coolers that require AC adapters. If you can run the fans w/o the AC adapter that would be a plus. I care not for the additional USB ports.

    I suppose. But it has two 140mm giant fans that spin faster than the single fan in a USB powered. Don't think G73 ATi or Nvidia need this, but for the paranoid might be fine and for maybe those that use MacBook Pro which cooling is nearly non-existent except for high screaming ineffective fan, and possibly monsters like X7200 from Clevo.

    For the same price, a cooler designed for massive high performance laptops 18" or bigger with customizable fans, underneath you can place the fans exactly where you want for best cooling, 2 140mm fans that spin faster than Cryo?

    No way. And looks weird? How is that even relevant? the laptop will be ON TOP OF THE COOLER, can't even see it then.

    I have a Q. The built in USB 3.0 can achieved the designated speed even though my G73Jh only has USB 2.0?

    No. The USB 3.0 hub can do 3.0 speeds IF connected to a 3.0 port on your laptop. Connecting it to a 2.0 port will only give 2.0 speeds.

    Looks nice but the G73 doesn't need a cooler. I've never had to use one, ever. This thing remains really cool on it's lonesome.
