ASUS G73 Laptop - Republic of Gamers

The ASUS G73 Republic of Gamers Laptop, one bad ass gaming laptop. This is my baby and what I have been using for almost two years now. This bad boy replaced my desktop computer that I build from the ground up back in 2005. It is kind of my hobby to build computers. I just love the whole searching for the best parts and finally putting them together to make one bad ass machine. Back in 2005 I put together a desktop with, at the time, an AMD FX-55 CPU (worth about $999 back in 2005), 2GB of RAM, Nvidia 680 Ultra GPU, ASUS Deluxe mother board, and two DVD Burners. At the time this gaming PC cost me about $2500 and lasted me till 2010 when I needed an upgrade.



I didn't have $2000+ dollars in 2010 to build a new replacement to my gaming PC. So I searched high and low for the best gaming laptop for my buck. At the time the ASUS G73 just started to come out and I took a chance at a $1600 laptop. Boy was I happy, this thing has been awesome. The ASUS G73 so far has been able to handle anything I have thrown at it. Any game I have played on it in the last two years, I had the graphics settings turned way up and that didn't bother my ASUS G73 one bit. Of course it is not a AlienWare or other high end laptop, and does have one or two issues with it. For example, ASUS put a Creative sound card in it, but use Realtek drivers that cause issues with Windows 7. Because of this, a load high pitched scratching noise comes out of the speakers every now and again. But recently it hasn't been to bad and only last less then a second and rarely pops up now. The strange thing about this noise it only shows up in windows.....not once has it ever happened while playing games(which is a good thing).



The system stats of my ASUS G73:



i7 - 720QM CPU

8GB of RAM

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 (VRAM 1GB)

17.3 HD LCD Screen (1080P)

DVD Multi Burner

500GB of HDD space

**Added a 120GB SSD on my own**

Windows 7 Home Premium

Back-lit Keyboard



I am still very impressed by the ASUS G73 gaming laptop, and I can't wait to play all the amazing games coming out this Fall on this machine. Though, since it is a laptop and a gaming laptop at that, the battery only lasts about an hour. But what do you expect with all that power under the hood. So if you do get one, expect it to be more of a desktop replacement then a true mobile laptop. I still prefer a desktop built my self, but I just don't have the money to make my next big gaming PC project. I am hoping the ASUS G73 will last another three years before I have to upgrade.



Here is what mine looks like on my desk....isn't she beautiful? :-D
