G73JH-RBBX05

 

 

 

Your opponents won’t know what hit ‘em.

The ASUS ROG G73Jh is like no other gaming notebook. Instead of a gaudy chassis laden with gimmicks, the G73Jh instead boasts an understated yet striking design inspired by the iconic F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter. Far from being merely cosmetic, the G73Jh’s angular design actually improves your gaming experience. All the heat and noise-generating components have been grouped together at the rear of the notebook, allowing you to game in cool and quiet comfort. The tapering of the chassis also enables the keyboard plane to be inclined by 5 degrees—improving ergonomics so that you can game for hours on end without any strain.

As real as it gets.

With its DirectX 11-capable graphics and 8-channel HD audio with EAX 4.0 compatibility, the G73Jh delivers next-generation, ultra-realistic gaming on the go. Character models and textures look so incredibly lifelike, you’ll forget you’re playing a game. And the in-game sound effects and positional audio are so true-to-life, each bullet zing and explosion will send you scurrying for cover.


Maximum overkill.

The G73Jh is so aggressively spec’ed, it’ll exceed the requirements of the most demanding games for a long time to come. At its heart lies the latest Intel® Core™ i7 processor, DirectX 11-capable ATI® Radeon™ HD5870 graphics, up to 8GB of DDR3 system memory, and 1TB of storage space. So crank up those game settings to the max—the G73Jh will make easy work of them. And if things do get a little jittery, simply overclock the system on the fly to smooth the performance out again.

Since I am a student, I was looking for a very powerful laptop for a very long time. It had to be a real desktop replacement. First, I was thinking about G60VX-RBBX05 for 650. But it is an old model. Then I found G60JX-RBBX05 for 760 which has newer hardware. Then I found this one. I bought it immediately, because I had looked all gaming laptops, such as Toshiba Qosmio, Dell Alienware, Asus N series, Lenovo Ideapads...Some of them were more powerful than this one, but their price...
Actually, I didn't buy this laptop on amazon, but I bought it on bestbuy for 903 dollars (849+tax). It is also refurbished. The package is simplest - laptop, battery and charger. Nothing more and nothing more was needed. It has 500 gb hard drive which is sufficient for me because I have external 1 TB hard drive. 6 gb of ram is more than needed :)

I could say that comparing to other gaming laptops this laptop has the best ratio of performance/money. Really, 903 dollars to almost fastest quad-core processor (820qm, 840qm, 920xm, 940xm, and Sandy Bridge processors are better) and almost fastest Mobility Radeon 5870 (GTX 460M, GTX 480M, GTX 285M, and future Radeon 6970M are better)!
Also, I chose Asus because I trust this company. But other people complain but it's support. I haven't tried to use it yet.

Pros:
1) performance
2) backlight on keyboard. Good to play during nights.
3) big screen (enough for me, 1600x900)
4) two places for drives. You can make a good combination of ssd+hdd.
5) powerful speakers+subwoofer.
6) aggressive design. However, girls, I think, won't like it. (it's not pro, actually, but it's what I like in the laptop)
7) Remarkably silent. Even if I put your hands in front for radiators, it is not hot. The bottom doesn't heat up at all.

I hadn't found cons for me. Nevertheless, I would like to enlist some aspects that you might not like:
1) Battery. Yes, it lasts short, but since the laptop is desktop replacement and gaming laptop, I don't care about this.
2) Set of ports and their arrangement. Because of rear cooling system, there are no ports and they are on sides. This makes mess of cables. Also, set of ports is poor. No DVI, no eSATA, no USB 3.0, no FireWire, no ExpressCard port, no dial-up modem (maybe not important nowadays).
3) Huge charger. Yes, it's huge and heavy, but it's desktop replacement. I don't move it at all.
4) Transportability. The laptop is huge and heavy, but again, it's desktop replacement. I don't move it from my table.
5) No multimedia or additional like quick launch keys. Actually, there are some, such as FN+arrows for media players.
6) No Blu-Ray.
7) No Bluetooth.
8) Small screen resolution. There are other g73jh laptops with 1920x1080 resolution.
9) Touchpad button are tough. But I got used to it for a while and moreover I use external mouse.

So, this is my review. Best laptop I ever had. All games run. For students-gamers it is one of the best deals.
