@ Travis: Thanks just going to throw a 64GB SSD into it along with the standard 500GB HDD so use for booting and a few games. Mostly going to play EVE Online and some flight sims. thanks for the help.

@Tech_Lovin_OD: I’d say it should be just fine as-is… I mean an SSD will drastically increase the load times for everything, but that’s all I would do to it. Very very few games will use 6GB or 8GB of RAM, so the HDD would be your bottleneck.

all your reviews have been helpful in deciding on this model. although I’m going with the X3 and am ordering it from AVADirect.com as I can have them add some modifications for me. Normally i’d mod it myself, but as I’m in Afghanistan… I’d rather not crack it open… Are there any components that i should consider upgrading… other than the HDD’s? and would upgrading the wireless card even be worth it? 5 days till I order…

Just got this laptop for Christmas and am SUPER Happy with it. I got it from Best Buy first though and was disappointed.

The Best Buy version is much worse than the one you can get from other retailers.
The Best Buy version has slower RPM HDD’s, has a native resolution of 1600 x 900 instead of 1920 x 1080 and has no built in Bluetooth. Top that off with no Asus ADW and 360 Warranty (and Best Buys “Protection Plan” costs a LOT and doesn’t cover accidental damage) makes Best Buy the worst choice to get this computer from.

Returned it to them and ordered it online from Tiger Direct. Have not been letdown at all. Just waiting to get a nice sized SSD and then I’ll load a fresh Windows 7 install on it.

My AC-adapter recently blew. My question is : does anyone know if there is an universal one that fits the G73JH-A1. I went to a few stores and could not find one powerful enough. I called Asus to get a replacement (under warranty), but they are out of stock and can not even give me an ETA for the piece in question. Thanks.

Can I use this G73Jh for both gaming and PC DJing application or in music production as well? Thanks.

vishakhnag: The backpack and mouse only comes with the A1 and A2 models. It could possibly come with the A3 model, but I don’t have the details for that.

just so everyone knows if you dont register your warranty within 60 days you wont have the ADW and asus will not work with you at all. also if you mailed your warranty card in it will just come back with undeliverable …..
