    Hi i got my g73jh-bst7 refurbished from circuit city for 759$
    and the lappy is almost brand new no scratches or any sign of wear.
    and first thing i did is updated bios and vbios to latest
    then decided to put the gpu and cpu to max

    results are:

    cpu test by prime95 on twin turbo is 79/81/82/81 after 4 hours of stress in 28c room.

    GPU maxed at 84 running furmark for 3:30 hours.

    no problems in the laptop so far

    I use a cheap cooler just for test and will get a decent one soon + a 120gb ssd.

    so far i get more than i was expected for my buck.

    I think Skyrim is a better game than BF3 is. Personally don't understand how people never get tired of just shooting people on the same maps over and over. They already know all the common routes other players run, where they will spawn and just camp.

    Lucily, G73jh I think chews through Skyrim well.

    gaming is a matter of player taste on games some like to shoot others no matter if they use the same map again and again all day and others like to play mmorpg games and others.

    just want to add another thing after a fresh windows install and updated drivers this laptop just rocks and run any game on high to maxed out with decent framerates.

    Hi there ramy911us :)
