Then get a Dell M6500, those look nicer, same specs but with your Quadro and have been out for months. And in case you didn't notice this is a GAMING laptop so stop spewing your shill and go elsewhere.]]>Feb 10th 2010 10:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/Feb 10th 2010 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/Feb 10th 2010 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/

I was a click away from preordering this two weeks ago (the A1 version), but I opted for a more portable alternative. After reading a review online confirming that this notebook is powerful but at a heavy expense in portability, I think I made a good choice.]]>Feb 10th 2010 2:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/Feb 10th 2010 11:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/
I certainly has power but falls flat on it's face with connectivity wish it had a DVI or Displayport out instead of a VGA and an E-SATA and it would be solid. ]]>Feb 10th 2010 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/They pimp out their G series laptops every 5 months!!!!

wow! that's an amazing price for what you get. And finally ASUS has realized how to make a laptop not look like ass!]]>Feb 10th 2010 1:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/Feb 10th 2010 1:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/

The Mobility HD5870 is roughly as fast as a desktop HD5770/HD4870, which can just barely max out Crysis at 1680x1050. Two of these things in Crossfire would def make Crysis its bitch, though!]]>Feb 10th 2010 1:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/Feb 10th 2010 2:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/
I'm selling my Macbook Pro right now, with a Core 2 Duo in it. Don't get me wrong its a great computer but all this for the same price. Holy Crap!!]]>Feb 10th 2010 1:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/
Yea, it wasn't such a smart move on your part to buy a MBP as a gaming rig, was it?]]>Feb 10th 2010 1:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/
I don't have any interest in games but power and bang for buck is something that I can appreciate regardless]]>Feb 10th 2010 1:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/
Ok, so where are you going to see any power from that graphics card for what you do?]]>Feb 10th 2010 1:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/

I have a G50, which only has a 9800 GTX+ and a dual core @ 2.2 4gb ram etc..
My battery would seem to be much smaller (still pokes out behind the screen though) than this one. Cell wise as well, and I can get a good 3 hours of watching hulu, or netflix.
Or I can play mass effect 2 on it for about an hour and a half before it dies.

p.s. thinner dont always translate well in a high end piece of hardware. occasionally there are heat issues in general for long hour use.]]>Feb 10th 2010 10:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/Feb 10th 2010 1:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/Feb 10th 2010 1:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/Feb 10th 2010 1:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/Feb 10th 2010 1:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/whaaaatttt]]>Feb 10th 2010 1:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/

I thought the i7 720QM was a quad core, actually I'm pretty sure of that. Anything including and above the 720QM in the i7 range is quad core, the only mobile dual core i7 i can think of is the 620QM. ]]>Feb 10th 2010 2:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/Feb 10th 2010 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/Feb 10th 2010 3:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/this isnt 5 years ago, there are plenty of CPU intensive games out that need all the power and cores they can get.]]>Feb 10th 2010 8:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/

I would also have trouble justifying this, because a similarily specced desktop can be had for $500 or less. Maybe as a desktop replacement, and if I was working as a games programmer or 3d artist.]]>Feb 10th 2010 2:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/asus-g73jh-x1-gaming-laptop-hits-the-us/
