I found the the G73JW-A1 for $1667. The G73JW-XT1 is $1499. As far as I can see, the only difference is that the XT1 doesn't come with the mouse, backpack and one 500GB HD (and the associated bracket). Does anyone else see a difference? If not, then the TD one is $167 savings to drop the...

What updates do you think are coming to the M15/17 line? Adding the 480m to the lineup? Any idea of when they updates will happen?

I actually haven't bought anything yet. The detective is still investigating the case, and while I HIGHLY doubt i will get my computer back, I don't want to spend the money on a new computer until I know i wont recover my old one.

That looks like a better one for me. With respect to the XA1, I don't need the BR player (i dont buy them), the downgrade from 750GB to 500Gb kinda sucks, and the ram is (4x2) instead of (2x4), but it DOES come with the two year warranty, which is attractive.

Just for clarity's sake, you mean G73JW-A1, correct? Where did you order from, Amazon? Or, did you order from some place like xoticpc so you could add upgrades, and if so, what did you get? Price? Just curious.

Can you link me? I haven't seen a 16GB model on Amazon. I didn't realize that the 15" had the same video card. I'll check it out, as 15" probably makes more sense. Like you said, more portability, and for now I want to hook it up to a 22" monitor for gaming anyway. Do you game on a 15" screen...

Someone over in another forum said they ordered a laptop from these guys. IDK if he actually did, since he didn't replay to my question about it in the thread or PM, but anyway, we'll see. I'll probably just end up buying the G73JH-X1 from Newegg or the G73JW-X1a with 3-year warranty from Amazon.

I'm talking to the people in Indonesia currently. I got this email from them: "Dear, Mr User Usington Thank you for your email Asus G73JW-A1 Notebook i7-840QM 16GB Yes, It is the specification of this laptop, or we can upgraded to core i7 940XM (+41.00 US$) Asus G73JW-A1 Notebook i7-840QM...

UPDATE: I found this "incredible deal" at a website which seems to wholesale from China: http://www.alibaba.com/product-free/112242949/Asus_G73JW_A1_Notebook_i7_840QM.html Standard G73Jw-A1, but with 840QM processor and 16GB RAM. Neither of those two "upgrades" seem to matter; 16GB RAM =...

Whoa, I just noticed that the G73JW-XA1 only comes with a 1-year warranty vs 2 year with with the other two. The G73JW-A1 also comes with a razor mouse and backpack; does anyone know if the other two do?

Hello all! My apartment was recently robbed, and they stole my ******* computer! Anyway, it's time for me to try to find a new one and I'm going to get a laptop as a replacement for a desktop gaming computer (there are various reasons for this). I know all about how with laptops you get a lot...
