United Kingdom G73 HELP

Hey, right my question is can you buy the G73 in 3D in the united kingdom ? i can only see it on American sites which is no use to me

I could get the G53 but I really would like to have a bigger screen anyone with advice or any info related please comment

MUCH LOVE

 

Amazon have them by the looks: ASUS G73JW 17.3" 1080p Full HD Notebook, Intel Core i7-740QM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M 1.5GB GDDR5, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, Blu-ray Combo Drive, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

 

Yh but that doesnt mention it is the 3D one ? also does not say its got a 120hz screen ? does it I cant seem to find it ?

 

I'm from London and I just ordered my laptop, exact same model, from GenTech @ GenTech PC Store. They are fantastic to deal with, great at communicating with you, and their prices are brilliant.

Even once you add tax and stuff to get it to your door, it's still far cheaper than anything over here.

I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Hope that helps.

 

The 3D model is on Amazon UK:

ASUS G73JW-3DE 17.3" 1080p Full HD 3D 120Hz Notebook, Intel Core i7-740QM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M 1.5GB GDDR5 With 3D Vision Glasses, 8GB RAM, 1TB Hybrid Drives (4GB SSD x2), Blu-ray Writer, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & A

I'm seriously thinking about upgrading

 

I paid only 200 more in DOLLARS with some upgraded parts. That means you are paying around £600 more for a basic stock version, without any frills.

Trust me, ordering from the US is the only logical option.

 

Totally agree. I am in UK and bought mine from Powernotebooks.com - They were excellent to deal with.. Im suprised to see the 3DE on Amazon as the standard JW has only just become available (in stock and not preorder) over here.

Still, I paid just over £1250 for mine from US and on Amazon its over £2100.. I know which I'd go for! Global Warranty 2yrs so no worries on that front either.

 

Yeah I see what you're saying but on top of that you'll have 20% VAT to pay plus brokerage fees so not far off an extra £300. Then you have the long wait and if anything is wrong with the laptop when it arrives you have to pay for expensive shipping back to the US. Ordering in the UK you also have a local point of contact who will deal with any issues. It all adds up and in the end I much prefer ordering from home.

 

I brought G53 form US(HIDEvolution) I choose FedEx express option which is around $200. Total cost is $1510+$200. Arrived within 3 days. Choose seller who understand customs charges.

 

Thanks guys for the responses and WOW yes the difference in price from ordering from america is more then huge, im almost sold on going with powernotebooks.com

But as well as the shipping what about our own custom tax ? did you get charged an extra duty charge ? how much was it ?

Much love guys

 

Order from GenTech.

Email [email protected] regarding your questions to do with shipping. He can answer everything.

It's the cheapest and most reliable method of getting one.

Having Amazon UK support isn't an issue, ad the warranty is global, and Ken is such a great guy, he basically gives every customer one-to-one support on any problems or queries they have.

Literally can't stress enough that if you want this laptop, this is the most hassle free way of doing it.

And yeah I guess shipping is (ofc) longer but what 4-5 days difference when you are saving a huge sum of money. You would be fool hardy to do anything else.

Hope this helps.

 

LOL geting abit controversial up in here ? well im gonna consider all these options and see what sounds the best let me know if anyone knows of other sites that could help me out

Thanks guys and no fighting ! > : [

 

I deleted some posts, if you suspect a post violates the forum rules, just report it, don't get into arguments please.

 

The price of the 3DE is now under £2k on Amazon so I've placed an order.

Should be here tomorrow!

 

that the G73 ? let me know how it is Im thinking i will get the G53 more in my price range

 

Well the laptop arrived a couple of days ago and all I can say is wow!

Amazing machine and I love portable 3D. The Full HD 3D screen is amazing.

Can't go wrong with Amazon UK either.
