Got my G73jh that I bought on ebay today :)

Wow, I love it! Way better than the g51 I had. Runs super cool as well. This thing pretty much looks brand new. Got if for 825 bux with an original receipt. I also got the 1333mhz ram on the rbbx05 model. Now I'm having fun setting it up and playing. There's not really anything I don't like about this laptop. Just thought I would share the celebration!

 

Congrats! Now change your signature since it's not accurate anymore :

"Current laptop: G51VX - T9600 upgrade
Soon to be: G73JH-RBBX05"

 

oh yeah, lol! There, got it!

 

Congrats man. I hope you enjoy yours like I did mine. I love this thing. I have a few upgrades planned for it like adding a second and 3rd hard drive and maybe even 4 more gigs of ram. You got anything lined up for yours?

 

lol 2nd hard drive in the HD bay, what about the 3rd drive? DVD bay?

 

Yup, going to an 128gb SSD in bay 1, 500gb in bay 2, and a 1tb in the dvd bay. its gonna cost me right at 300 for everything I want to do, ram included.

 

I would recommend you upgrade the screen if you can aquire one from a good seller. I have yet to do so, but I'm on the path. After seeing what a good screen can look like in this puppy, there's no way I can just give up. I will find THE screen. One with no bright green spots or anything.

 

Congrats d00d! For $825, thats a steal. I got mine for $860 on newegg back in early Nov and it was hands down the best purchase I made last year...it even came with Dragon Age origins in the DVD drive lol. I love this thing to death and it always delivers.

Since you got it for a fairly low price, I would use the saved cash towards an SSD or a better screen.

 

Nice. I picked mine up new, from a reseller, at 2x the price. And I'm still quite happy with it

 

Yeah I want to do the screen upgrade one day too and maybe a 940xm if I can find one for the right price.

 

My G73 has one issue.. lcd bleed.. but I am willing to live with it coz i simply love it.... it is the most awesome lappy on the planet .. looks .. power .. you name it .. the only upgrade i ll go for is SSD and then 2 yrs down the line upgrade to the latest G series at that time

 

You know, maybe I'm not too picky, but I don't see anything wrong with the screen. I mean it's not full hd but I have full HD on a 26 inch screen on my desktop computer and b/c this is a 17 inch, it looks about the same. Wouldn't full hd make the text and icons a bit on the smallish size? I don't have any upgrades planned soon. I barely talked the wife into saying yes to this. I have six gigs of ram in my desktop beast so why whould I have more in my lappy? One main reason I got this is b/c my wife is a graphic designer and hoggs my desktop with the 26 inch screen. This laptop is my lifeboat and works great when she kicks me off my beast. My desktop has a core i7 930 processor overclocked to 3.8, 6 gigs ddr3 ram @ 1800mhz, and 2 GTX 480s running in sli. I use that beast for when I'm playing a "pretty" game and turn all the eye candy up. The laptop is mainly for mulitplayer GTA 4, Left 4 dead, and others when I get booted to the "life boat". But I have already fallen in love with it. Twice as good as my g51vx!
