    I'm seriously considering purchasing either the G53 or G73 within the next week, but I'm a bit concerned about those jet-sized vents shooting at the back-end of the machine--namely, how to make sure they're always clean. Those two gaping holes seem like easy access points for all sorts of dust, wind-blown particles and maybe even bugs.

    Anyone with a G53/G73 faced any of these problems so far? Anyone have any ideas as to how to avoid these problems in the first place?

    Thanks in advance.

    those 2 giant vents keep the dust out for me lol.. you just blow compressed air into them to remove dust if you want to.. but for 3 months so far since i've had mine , didn't need to..

    Perhaps a can of compressed air will do?

    These are Ehuast vents. So nothing goes in, just comes out.

    So if they do get dusty, then just blow then with canned Air.
    So say yo prevent the Fan from over spinning when doing this.
