I bought this Laptop about 2months ago now and run all my games on ultra mode with no problems.
Trying to get hold of one in the UK for less than £2000 was a mission but eventually found one G73A1 for Just shy of £1600 incl delivery.
Only issue with the laptop is that the keyboard can miss keystrokes if your a fast typer. Other than that it's the best machine i've ever owned and I recommend it to anyone from gamers to AUTOCAD users
@KHESEDjou I hear the newer ones have improved, but the one that I own has a very poor touch-pad. From what I have heard, they fixed a lot of the little issues from the older ones (the type I am currently using...) and reissued the G73's.
@kingfullmetal I used canned air to clean my fans. Take off the bottom cover and (using the red plastic straw that comes with the can) blow air into each upper corner of the laptop; there are two fans with each fan residing in each corner (one for the GPU and one for the CPU). This method works great for me and I am able to blow out all the dust. I blow out the dust once a month. I hope this helps.
@Mrkingbighead I never take the charging cord out, but the card at best buy and the info deal that came with it said about 2 hours or something like that.
just uninstall the driver from ASUS and then install the one from the company and you can do a lot more with it like 2 finger scroll

@wyliecoyote Can you actually play games with the touchscreen? Is the experience good?

@KHESEDjou I've never use the touchpad. The laptop came with a really good gaming mouse from Asus which I use instead.

@wyliecoyote Oh... I tought it was actually the screen that was multi-touch, not the touchpad. That's ok. Thank you!
