Terrible

I looked for a gaming laptop for 2 years and was very excited when I found this one. I was quickly very disappointed when it performed as poorly as my very old desktop PC. It would bog down, stutter images, and lock up, just like the old one. I was astounded and extremely disappointed. I had it worked on by several computer experts who tried to fix the problems. Even after spending several hundred dollars, installing a new solid state hard drive, wiping the hard drive and reinstalling all the software, and much more; it did not improve it's gaming performance. I started using my X-Box 360 for playing games. On Asus behalf, they did ask me to send it in to be looked at, but I refused.

Simply awsome laptop...

Have had this g73sw for 9 months now and I would recomend ASUS and this website to anyone looking for an incredible computer and an awsome company to order it from. PS. I researched laptops for 6 months and arrived at ASUS as the best laptop on the market, yes I love ALIENWARE, but they are nothing more then remanufactured CLEVO's now

Still Loving it!

I've had this thing for just over a year now. Still enjoy the mess out of it. Easy to work on and easy to upgrade. Asus did an awesome job with this one. If one con could be mentioned..... it could come with a larger HD. But hey - they give you an expansion bay for another.

Great Developers Laptop

As a software developer, I really appreciate the speed and capacity of this laptop. I can open and run multiple virtual machines that I could not do on my last laptop. It runs all of my coding tools without failure. I did upgrade the OS from Home Premium to the Pro version. My only complaint is that the 500 GB harddrive was split into 2 250GB partitions and I would have preferred one large partition, but that's just me. OVERALL - 5 STARS!!!
