ASUS G73JH-A1 Review

From Cnet, “Other than some niggling design complaints, the Asus G73JH-A1 is an excellent high-performance desktop replacement for gaming or other demanding tasks. When word of the Asus G73JH first came out at CES 2010 it definitely left an impression. A giant, all-black 17-inch full HD wide-screen gaming laptop with a Core i7 processor, 8GB of memory, dual 7,200rpm 500GB hard drives, a Blu-ray combo drive, and a 1GB ATI Radeon HD5870 graphics card for $1,700 is tough to ignore.”

“The Asus G73Jh-A1 offers good performance for a gaming notebook and has a price that given its performance isn’t out of line. If you want a unique gaming notebook, the Asus G73Jh-A1 is certainly worth a look”

ASUS G73JH-A1 Gaming Notebook Review on Burnedin

“Yes, yes they did (hey, if you’re looking for suspense, fire up Netflix and flip through the ‘Thriller’ section, the cat’s already out of the bag on this one). Equipped with a Core i7 processor, the fastest mobile graphics chip in the known universe, and a unique cooling solution, the G73Jh-A1 races along at breakneck speeds while remaining surprisingly quiet. It’s also not without a few faults (alright, so there’s a smidgen of suspense), but you’ll have to click through to find out if any of them are deal killers. “

ASUS G73JH-A1 Gaming Notebook Review  on Netbookshopper

“It clearly is not a big deal, but we would have appreciated separate mute/volume keys. The keyboard here is backlit keyboard with the intensity of lights being adjustable. Even though the keyboard here is sufficiently sized, when you compare it with the size of the system it looks a bit cramped. The Asus G73JH-A1’s 2.1 speaker system offers decent performance and sufficiently loud without causing any distortion. Though, the speakers sounded loud and clear, still its better you get headphones or desktop speakers for enjoying the media or gaming completely”
