Asus G73JH Reviews
Asus G73Jh Gaming Notebook Review
Earlier this year, we attended the Asus 2010 CES Event in Las Vegas. While there, we caught a glimpse of several upcoming notebooks the hardware giant had in store. One of the most anticipated products we saw was in the Republic of Gamers line up. Dubbed the G73JH, it possessed a list of impressive specifications and an aggressive, stealth fighter design that spoke directly to enthusiasts. Thankfully, this powerhouse of a notebook made it to our lab and we had a chance to put it through our own testing. Ever since CES, we've been waiting to find out if the G73JH performed as good as it looked. Equally important, we aimed to determine where it fits in a market bursting at the seams with gaming laptops and desktop replacement notebooks. We mentioned that the G73 had killer specs and here they are. At the heart of this monster is an Intel Core i7 720QM quad-core processor, clocked at 1.6GHz with Turbo Boost technology for increased single core performance (up to 2.8GHz) and Hyper-Threading for multitasking situations. We find 8GB of DDR3 RAM installed, along with 1TB of total storage, consisting of two 500GB Seagate hard drives. But the real draw is ATI's Mobility HD 5870 graphics card with 1GB of GDDR5 memory and enough pixel pushing power to feed a 17.3" screen.
Asus G73JH review
The Asus G73JH is an aggressively and uniquely styled machine that looks fantastic and boasts great performance for gamers. The laptop's striking design – with angular lines and tactile matt finish – is inspired by the F-117 Nighthawk Stealth Bomber, but there's more purpose to the design than looks alone. The large exhausts at the rear of the chassis draw hot air away from the internal components and deposit it comfortably from the chassis' rear, making this one of the quietest gaming machines we've ever tested. The angled design also means that the backlit keyboard is angled slightly towards you, improving user comfort. Unfortunately, the isolated-key style board is disappointingly spongy and the large touchpad means we were constantly brushing it while typing, leading to erratic cursor behaviour and spelling errors. The latest and greatest components have been used, including a very powerful quad-core processor from Intel's Core i7 range, alongside 8192MB of DDR3 memory. Everyday performance is truly stunning and you can flawlessly run pretty much any conceivable application, including high-end photo and video editing software. This is largely thanks to the fact the processor is capable of automatically overclocking itself to an impressive 2.8GHz, providing extra power when it senses you most need it.
Product Survey: Laptops
With the G73Jh and its design inspired by the "legendary F-177 stealth plane," you'll have no trouble hunting down your enemies, according to Asus. With high performance, it uses latest gen components but Asus have managed to hold the price at a relatively attractive level. It should allow you to fly a lot higher than most of the competition PC laptops. In spite of its design inspired by a stealth plane, the G73Jh can't really be said to be stealthy because of its imposing size. It is nevertheless sober overall in comparison to what you often see in the small world of PC gaming. We like the fact that it's discreet and not too garish. It will no doubt be too neutral for some, too austere. There is however a nice blue lighting under the screen (you can disactivate this) which breaks up the massive feel of the G73Jh. Entirely in black, the G73Jh is made with matte plastics that are soft to the touch. The wrist rest area and the hood of the screen have a rubber stype finish which is also nice in texture. Overall it gives an impression of robustness and the screen hinges seem designed to last. The wide is very comfortable to use and the keys separated (15 x 15 mm).
ASUS G73JH Review
The G73 is the latest gaming notebook in ASUS' successful G-series product line. This 17.3-inch monster has a Core i7 processor, 8GB of RAM, and the most powerful mobile video card available, the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870. Read on for our take.Special thanks go out to Justin at XoticPC.com for sending us this unit. Our ASUS G73JH-A2 has the following specifications: The ASUS G73JH is available as a pre-configured notebook only, though some dealers including XoticPC offer limited customization. Those looking for Blu-ray should check out the G73JH-A1 model, which has the same specifications as our test unit plus a Blu-ray drive for $1,699. Build and DesignThe ASUS G73 is has a "stealth” look, with non-traditional shape with angled surfaces and sharp lines that is clearly influenced by modern stealth aircraft. . The protruding rear end is especially aggressive with its angled exhaust vents. The physical size of the G73 is intimidating, even compared to other 17-inch notebooks. The chassis is actually angled upward 5 degrees, which gives the notebook a more assertive feel and helps with ergonomics. The notebook has a rubberized shell, which has a pleasant touch and adds a measure of durability. The G73 has strong build quality; it feels very solid (and heavy) when being held.
