  • So, it can't use wifi?

  • @TheSpamKing27 - ASUS no longer manufacturers this model, this model has been replaced by the G74 line of laptops...

  • how much does this cost in British pounds?

  • I have this comp. Make sure to buy a mouse cuz if you use mousepad ur friggin screen will zoom in and out and it's annoying as fuck. Other than that it's a great laptop haha.

  • That's a cool temperature tool you have.  What's that called?

  • i find these G73 series looks way more better than the G74, ( Currently owned an G74sx-a1 ) the model of G73 is awesome, especially it's keyboard, but about the back, i liked the G74 better

  • @Syredisa057 How exactly does the keyboard on the G73 compare to the G74's?

  • @panzerkiller13 well it's looked very different? i mean the G74 Keyboard is Wider than the G73 has.. but i never seen a G73 at a closer look myself...

  • @panzerkiller13 and also the Keyboard of G74 is close to the edge =)

  • What's the price?!?!!!?!?

  • @hackpod94 standard price is 1,075.00 AUD that is 8GB RAM, HD 5870, i7. it can go up to 2000+ for highest build

  • @udayaai is that on ebay or aussie retailers?? :D

  • @trevine33 its on ebay.com.au. might have more exp postage for overseas i am not sure cuz its free within Australia. had it for one month now, extremely pleased except for the lousy touchpad, but I use a mouse anyway.

  • someone can tell me its price?in dollars.

  • That's a really, REALLY cool thermometer.

  • damn

  • what is the express card slot and all that u sed is it important please answer?

  • i got mine 2 weeks ago on craigslist from this guy for only 700 bucks good deal and he even threw in 3 free games lol

  • im getting this laptop tomorrow :) for 650 cant wait

  • @3HaloPlayers Where are you getting it?

  • @3HaloPlayers WHERE?

  • @3HaloPlayers

    Where did you find this laptop for 650?

  • @Pilkanozna4 i found it on craigslist....... lol im on it right now :) i think the battery is gone though cause it only lasts about an hour

  • @Pilkanozna4 ooo and i also saw one for 500 for the 6 gb lower resolution screen a couple of weeks ago but it was gone within a day the guy said

  • @3HaloPlayers WUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

  • @mohdhmg lol yep :) runs crysis 2 smoothly :) ill try to upload some gameplay videos........ but the mousepad honestly sucks............ ended up getting the g9x

  • sadly mine doesnt come with bluetooth but thanks though..

  • just called the tech supportfor my comp and mg g73gh doesn't have bluetooth

  • I'm a console gamer entering pc gaming i started checking out alienware cuz it was the only one i knew but my friend told me this was better and cheaper he was right ...

  • I was looking for a nice gaming laptop and I was told alienware was good now I might get an asus

  • how much does it cost?

  • @tavo91x $1,500-$1,750

  • does the g73jh-a1 come with bluetooth?

  • @702hacker yes. most laptops come with blutooth.

  • Alienware is way over priced... have had both and I love the ASUS. Great machine.

  • price?

    

  • is this video card 3d?

  • @ptmww3 i dont know about the video card but the display is not.

  • how do you turn on the blue light under the screen display??? i own a g73 but my light wont go on.

  • what does it mean when people say "will it blend?" please tell i feel stupid

  • @narutoduck Go search "Will it blend" on youtube. Trippy stuff, man.

  • Will this Laptop run steam well? please respond because i need to know before I buy it since if not then i will get another machine.

  • @alphadelta45 sure i have a asus x52d its not themost ideal gaming laptop in the world and it costed £499 and can run just cause 2 (steam version) all medium settings at 30 fps and team fortress 2 most high and some medium at 60fps

    so i dont think the asus g73 will have a problem with steam

  • Reminds Me Of A Car Like A Bonnet

  • @IBobLee This model of G73's is good. I bought this one and at the time it was the best one on the market that ASUS produced. Now they have the new models out with the new Nvidia graphics card. I recomend if your going to be running Crysis 2 or other FPS genre games to get the New G73 model. This one plays Crysis on very high settings accross the board, but I decided to get crysis 2 for my PS3 due to the preference of the PS3 controller. Alienware is good for people that can afford 3 or 4,000

  • @Killerwalrus234 If that's the only reason you can find to get an Alienware, then i'm just not buying it.

  • i have this computer, the most evident problem with it is the touchpad is faulty. And i've heard on many other asus users who had the same problem. It teleports the cursor to other places randomly, or interprets regular movements as multi touch, like zooming in and out. But it's not to the point of being unusable. Also, a few times when watching movies, it started sort of lagging, glitching about halfway. I had to restart the computer in order to finish.

  • @WilliamAztech buy a gaming mouse!

  • @ShasOJeffrey I knew someone would give me this amazing, unthinkable advice!!!

    So having the choice of using a mouse is now an excuse for producing a shitty touchpad? So if I buy a tv that has shitty speakers it's ok also, cause i can just buy some external speakers... I want every feature of my damn product to work properly, god damn it.

  • @WilliamAztech haha i was just trying to help man. honestly, if u hav a shitty touchpad, either u return it or get a good mouse. :P

    I personally cant stand ALL touchpads, so an epic mouse is like essential for me. :)

  • @ShasOJeffrey I think WilliamAztech is working for the other side.. My touchpad works great! I do like my handy little cordless mouse though;-)

  • Hows the Battery life on this laptop ? :) please tell cause im thinking of getting one

  • @anotherstories like any other notebook... can't watch a full HD movie on it at once.

  • @anotherstories ahh its crap..i have this awesome pc but my only and i mean only bitch is that the battery is only maybe 2 hrs if it runs on the battery saving and doesnt run games well at all..but you can get a bigger battery from the website..but other than that this computer is badass..mine is a year old already and still running like brand new

  • I heard you need to clean the exhaust pipes daily for dust. Is this true?

  • can you do eyefinity display on that? since it has a ATI card

  • I just bought this laptop for $300. I love it except I think one of the speakers inside is blown. Guess I'll have to get an external sub woofer. This thing is as fast as the Dell I just spent $4000 on. I love it.

  • @MrCivichatchback where did u buy for that much?

  • @TheZorseWhisperer you can get it for free at many stores. just have to run pretty fast.

  • Does this laptop have overheating problems?

  • @emin257 nope :)

  • @MansikkaPelaaja hey m8 wich laptop should i get for gaming Samsung RF710-S03BE (17.3"/I7-720/6GB/1TB/VGA GT420 2GB) Or Sony VAIO F13S8E (16,4"/i7-740QM/4GB/500GB/Blu Ray/GT425M1g)

    both are 1300 euro, please reply.

  • @emin257 i would go with sony vaio :)

  • @emin257 I know someone who has this laptop and it does not overheat . He plays all types of games at the highest quality also he is able to do high quality rendering on this laptop

  • hello a question, I'll buy one of these, could you help me telling me if any of the information below or something to tell me if my laptop is factory original and has not been opened by other people! Thanks! Subscribe!

  • i want this laptop but my family isnt rich sooooo i might not be gettin it yu wnt believe the shitty peice of shit im using right now but i really want this for myself i will jus go anywhere with it especially now that my psp 1000 broke and theres very little chance im gettin a new one

  • @hiscibus I bought mine from a crackhead for $300! Good luck!

  • Stay away from this model. My system worked for < 100 days and has been in & out of repair (mostly in) for 3 months now.

  • 19 people got the m17x then realised this is cheaper and just as good

  • @saznoozalot Not really the alienware has dual video cards this doesnt and this doesnt have esata or fireware or media controls.

  • missing usb 3.0 at this stage is a serious disadvantage

  • I got this computer run at 60 fps in wow everything on ultra except shadow quality is at good love this computer multisapling 8x

  • I'm so excited! i just placed my order with Best Buy.com and am currently awaiting for the awesomeness. I've been watching videos and reviews on both the asus g73 and the alienware m17x and though the alienware looks cool, i'm a little too old for all that flash. I am going to unwrap my asus g73JH like a big womanly ass in tight jeans. slow and savoring.

  • Just got the XR1

    Worth it, it's amazing

  • Do want.

  • @Str82YourFace

    actually pc graphics are so much better on high or maxed out settings.

    i have ps3 and xbox running through Hdmi on a 37 inch VIZIO full 1080 and when i hook my pc up through hdmi it looks crazy so STFU you can notice it you just cant afford a good gaming computer assfuck

  • I like the design, like a jet fighter. And I really like the fact it's not glossy and shinny. I like it more rugged. I think im going to get this laptop.

  • i still dont understand why would someone play games on a pc when u can play the same game for only $199 xbox or ps3?? who gives a fuck about an extra pixel on the screen or 10 fps more ? which u cant even notice by naked eyes !!

  • @Str82YourFace Xbox you pay an annual fee, Ps3 and xbox you pay for DLC and games while I pirate crap.

    So as time progresses I'm saving more money then you.

  • @Str82YourFace

    You don't understand why people would play games on the PC? What don't you understand? How about that PC gamers get far better visuals (consoles are DX9, PCs are DX11)? How about that PC gamers get full keyboard/mouse use with optional joystick/gamepad use? If you're telling me games look the same maxed out on PC as they do on consoles you're just a bad troll. I have PS3/Xbox and a gaming PC. I payed more, but guess what? I can play every game worth playing.

  • @FRAGNUB4FUN go suck your moms cock and stfu!

  • great

  • This laptop is a beast. Only problemI have with it is the mouse bug which is ATI's fault not ASUS.

  • daiiiiimn its ugly. buy Acer 5943g like me(:

  • @magn1017 Haha...AHAHAHAHA

  • @SilkyMuggs What do u mean? mine got it same as that ugly baserd(:

  • will it blend?

  • @thenunez96 im sure will do that to with ease

  • @thenunez96 sorry for my stupidness but wats plending

  • @mrfizch blending.will it blend is a show on youtube that blends alot of things.phones expensive devises.bricks.ipads.laptops.a­lot of differnt things.

  • @thenunez96 will 1200$ blend?

  • @thenunez96 XD

  • I own this comp and I must say it's great for gaming. I get so heated when Alienware fanboys gay bash other PC's. The only thing Alienware has different is the it's design, flashy lights, and the nvidia graphics card. The ATI brand holds it's own against others and I am more than pleased at what the 5870 can do. I don't need a flashy PC, just a high perfomance comp and this one pulls it off with ease. I know i'm gonna catch heat for this one, but I think Alienware is overpriced and overrated.

  • @nolarolla87 dude your right this computer competes with the top of the line alienware models and is almost half the price, alienware computers are very over priced just because they have the name alienware on them

  • @nolarolla87 i too own this beast....i've had it for nearly a year now and i must say i love it. i run all my online games at full maxed out graphics and there is no lag, no skipping, and it eats other laptops for breakfast - alienware included. the only problem i've had with it is gpu overheating so badly that it would shut down. i had to RMA it and asus took their sweet time gettting it fixed. but other than that, the g73jh-a2 is well worth the money spent on it.

  • @nolarolla87 al1enware is more goodlooking n better performance with nvidia graphics , the latest version is also in 3d so PWND !

  • @gamingchaos17 I will give Alienware that one thumbs up for getting on the 3D capablities. But there comps are still over priced for what you get. Your just paying for a name. To me when I hear the name Alienware I think "Dude, your getting a DELL"

  • @nolarolla87 I own an alienware m11x and I couldn't agree more with you.

  • @nolarolla87 No heat from me, I COMPLETELY agree.

  • @nolarolla87 WAYYYYYYY OVERPRICED i can get a area 51 alx from my cousin for like $900 for i7 980x cpu and crossfirex 5990's hit mw up if your intersted

  • @aurangzib well there's nothing in the world such as 5990? unless you lie

  • @nolarolla87 It is and when you go to your friends if you have an alienware they go like "WOW an Alienware" and think "Its not that special, Most gamers have one" But with this crazy thing they go like "Holy Shit thats a awesome PC what is it called?"

  • @nolarolla87 but but but.... they glow :(

  • @nolarolla87 I`m thinking about buying this one or Alienware M14x, I want it to do upcoming games easy, which one would you recommend?

  • @nolarolla87 alienware #1

  • @nolarolla87 thats literally exactly what i say too, overpriced and overrated. :)

  • @nolarolla87

    I admit, your right, but alienware cases are just really amazing, But this case is sooo HOOOT

  • @nolarolla87 yea and i still dont get why dell keeps having the vents on the front it does look good but it means all the heat is comming against the user witch makes no sense (sorry for english)

  • @nolarolla87 I do agree with you that alienware is overpriced...almost. I own the alienware m11x and I must say I love it. The issue I have with the asus is its size, seriously that is one hell of a hunkin computer. When compared with the same sized alienware computers it does beat them ou,t but because I didn't want fractured femurs everytime I used my computer (I usually have it in my lap) I opted for the smaller m11x which will handle most games you thow at it with ease for the same price.

  • @nolarolla87 Yeh, I always thought ASUS was cheaper, but that is not the case anymore now. Alienware you can get a 6970m for $1750 in the M17x. ASUS is still rolling the weak 460m and the mediocre 5870 for around $1500+. Not only that but the Alienware laptops are upgradable, unlike the ASUS ones and they also have an aluminum shell, unlike ASUS. Now lets now even mention the G53xSW and the G74 with it's crippled 560m....

    I always wanted a ASUS and love their design, but their GPU's are old.

  • @NateN34 Don't know what site you got your price information from, but I got mine for $1,300 brand new. Must be on a resale site or something. The M17x that you can get for $1,750 is just about bare bones. Maybe add 6gb of ram instead of the stock 4gb, up the graphics card from the stock radeon to the Nvidia GTX 460M, and you're still going to be paying a bit over $1,750. I do like the simple fact that you can upgrade your alienware laptop though.

    I couldn't agree more on the GPU's being old.

  • @nolarolla87 of course you'd say that.. when your watching a video showing an Asus G73.. but when you have an Alienware right in front of you.. Your opinion changes dramatically, Believe me.

  • @nolarolla87 alienware is not considerable over priced until u go buy the 18 inch 1, but people customize it at a point that it just becomes over priced. for a laptop.

  • @10barcelona19 Every alienware is overpriced.

    Alienware are shockingly bad. Laptops fall apart, customer service is shit, software coding is shit.

  • @nolarolla87 Why would you catch a lot of heat? Lol, it's common knowledge that Alienware is way overpriced.

  • @nolarolla87 Sager is even less flashy and cheaper too.

  • Dude, I know what keyboards, trackpads and screens look like. What I'm really interested in this type of video is actual performance. Could you please show it playing Crysis or better yet ARMA II so we can really see what it can do? Thanks!!

  • how come this weigh 1 lbs more than the g53jw, when g53 is thicker than this one? :O

  • wuts under the pc? like this round thing..? i thought the battery pack wuz there

  • GIVE IT TO ME !!!!

  • ATI mobility = NO DRIVERS UPDATE = lol games an blue-rays

    Nvidia > Ati

  • @Spectrosypher I don't know where you get your information from, Catalyst drivers were updated just last month. I used to be a complete Nvidia fan and despised ATI for really no reason at all. Now that I'm using one of ATI's cards I realize they're just as capable, if not more capable than anything Nvidia can pump out. It's really just a back an forth battle between the big boys like ATI vs Nvidia and AMD vs Intel, really your best bet nowadays is to just jump on board which is currently best.

  • @schnzberries Thank you, I actually installed the new drivers (10/12 for HD 4670)

    => ATI takes back now support for Mobility Radeon.

    However, I met less trouble with Nvidia.

    (And then: no cuda, no PhysX.)

  • Hey man, i have a big question that is important to me...is there 2 hard drive slots? because i want to put my SSD in it for windows and use the hard drive for everything else. Thanks man and nice review.

  • @EBA170 read description, it has two but both of them are taken up by 500gb hardrives

  • @EBA170 Comes with two 500GB standard disk drives. First drive is where the OS comes pre-installed and the second drive is partitioned in half and is just for extra storage. Everything can be upgraded/customized with this laptop without voiding the warranty except the GPU, but even that is upgradeable technically, so as long as your SSD is the same dimensions as the default drives, it's a simple matter to replace the stock drives with your SSDs

  • One more thing... as with any PC no matter the flavor of the operating system or the hardware it's running on, it can take a little tinkering to get the most out of your system. Many would argue, and I would agree that this laptop is subject to more problems than usual but nearly all of them are not without a fix. To some, having to tinker around a little bit to get the most out of their PC is a nuisance. To others, like me, it can be a blast... as long as you don't end up bricking it anyway...

  • All in all, this is a pretty good deal for the price. What really takes the cake for me is doing a comparison of hardware between this laptop I spent $1600+ on, and a MacShit Pro a friend spent over $2500 on (still can't figure out why he decided that would be a good idea, he still tries to defend his honor by having installed Windows 7 on it in place of OS X). Only improvement his laptop has over mine is an unnecessarily overpowered 2.6GHz i7, while sacrificing heavily on everything else.

  • I'm actually selling one of these for $800 if anyone might be interested in it send me a message I got it in September it's still in good condition :)

  • Repeat 3:32 I think that's his real voice haha

  • Ew, why the fuck would you buy a pc with an ATI card?

  • On the xoticpc site, the standard build is now with a GeForce GTX 460QM. But I agree with you, its like buying a very expensive paperweight.

  • @clanpsi uuuuhh why wouldnt u...

  • @TheThatguyoverthere Because ATI is horrible with consistent compatibility issues and no PhysX..

  • @clanpsi the only card to compare to this is the 460 (for price ofcourse) which the 5870 soundly beats in most benches

  • @clanpsi Yes ATI may have had compatibility issues at times but so has Nvidia. Its impossible to go without any sort of problems at all when you're trying to write drivers that are supposed to function flawlessly with hundreds of different brands of hardware. And PhysX is a complete joke. It is entirely a marketing gimmick used by Nvidia to help them sell their cards. Most games already have their own physics engines, and rarely does physics processing not occur on the CPU, PhysX engine included

  • only a few days, only a few days....

    ;)

  • @freakyzocker19961 i feel your pain. ive been waiting for 2 weeks.

  • got this laptop the other day holy hell can this laptop game. BioShock2 no problem max settings left for dead 2 the game died and went to heaven lol

  • I have this for 2 days and it's awesome! I have the newest version tho version 7 I believe or not I do not know

  • I have this laptop for when i travel and want to game, the only problem i had was under a load it would get rly hot

  • I want this sooo bad.

  • i have the asus republic of gamers g51jx-x3 laptop n when i watch videos full screen theres always break in the image at the top of the screen. im wondering if the screen itself is damaged or can it be fixed by changing the settings of some sort.... i dont know much about computers so if anyone knows what the problem is please reply back thanks!

  • @xoticpc dont u think the laptop's case a little bit cheapy ?

  • @U3bElive just look at the asus N61Jq (i got one with 8GB ram), is an outstanding laptop better than this one for most parts, with usb 3

  • @nos676 no... i mean the case of laptop ......fully plastic

  • @U3bElive its meant to be subtle, some people just dont like flashy blue LEDs and vibrant colours on their laptop. if u like flashy and show-offish, u could check out alienware laptops

  • my shit of asus its not working, when i play its off the computer :(

  • @abaddario because shit suppose to go down the toilet!! but you are different... instead of flushing it down the toilet, you decided to play with it... yes to take that piece of shit and throwe it in the air, and catch it with your mouth. that just crazy,, just flush it already.

  • where did u get this

  • looks very sturdy and stealthy. Very nice.

  • plz help me decide i wanna buy this laptop but i've seen lots of problems like the Psychedelic Screen of Death ,LCD stripes , not being able to update the GPU card driver , high pitched noise from speakers, overheating and shutting down and many others yet it still has one of the most powerful graphic card out there ,,also gonna sell my macbook pro 13 2.4GHz 'cause it cant game for shit !

  • I WANT THAT LAPTOP!

  • Does anybody know if this has multi-touch support? Just curious.

  • @Muso992 Yes, the touchpad does support multi-touch. So far I've just used it for zooming by pinching your fingers similar to the iPod Touch, and you can also slide your finger along the edges of the mouse pad to scroll. Of course options like this are customizable and can be turned off.

  • Comment removed

  • A few of questions for anyone willing to answer:

    1: Should I go for the JH or JW, I guess to summarize, the radeon 5870 or the gtx460?

    2:Is the A1 or B1 more preferred for optimal gaming?

    3:I hear all of the G73jh product lines are now discontinued...is this true?!

  • @SilkyMuggs 1. i have the jw with the gtx 460 for 2 reasons its better for fps and 3D but i have heard the the readeon 5870 is faster running windows 7 but it doesn't help on gameplay very much. 2 not sure 3. also not sure

  • it looked like your are hunting ghost at the end is the laptop haunted

  • Ish, that thing is fugly.

  • @NateN34 I think it looks nice. Case looks very sturdy.

  • I haven't seen anything obvious about it so far. can someone tell me the difference between the A2 and the BST7?

  • Does this laptop overheat?

  • @xXFL4WL3Ss never

  • @xXFL4WL3Ss did you watch the video? he spent like 5 minutes on the heat...

  • what the difference between the A2 and X1?

  • Comment removed

  • This is a really nice laptop how much is it and is it good for gaming!
