    i am very seriously considering buying an ASUS G73JH-A1. does anyone own this yet? or is it really that new? what do you guys know about the temps of this beast? seems like it will run hot but it does have really good ventilation and i would definitely be purchasing the IC Diamond thermal compound for as much cooling as i can get.

    other than that does anyone know of any problems with this machine? i just purchased a dell studio XPS 1645 and its driving me crazy! so i am returning it. and this will be its replacement. is this machine reliable?

    good luck returning the dell without being smacked with a restocking fee...

    The first shipment of the ASUS G73JH-A1 won't be in the US until February so you won't find anyone with hands on experience with it yet.

    However there is one HUGE thread about it, and an Crew Members lounge in the Owner's Lounge section. You can check them out for the available information on this model.
