    I was wondering if there were any consistent issues that appear that owners have come across.

    1.7k is a lot to sink in :/

    Some encounter GSOD or any kinds of SODs.. you need to update all drivers... clean install is the good thing to do first before you use it... skip downloading all the bloatwares...

    Look in my sig for a more detailed list of problems and solutions.
    But you have to take into account the vocal minority rule; mostly the ones with problems post, the ones that have a 100% working system as myself do not post that on the forum. The chances of getting a defect one are pretty much the same as buying any other laptop.

    Yea, the g73 has no issues really. The only real issue is fn + esc which was fixed with the latest bios release. Gsod, bsod may or may not occur after updating your ati drivers. if it does occur, its an easy fix.
