G73JH-A1 by Albert-Churba--Enthusiast (Jun, 2010)Just be aware that it is a large screen and finding a case is difficult but Asus does include a backpack.
G73JH-A1 by Matthew-A.-Baer--Matthew-B (Jul, 2011)The screen had these bogus lines running through the computer and Asus wouldn't do anything about it until I made such a big stink about it!
screen resolution
G73JH-A1 by Nate (Jun, 2010)It is a sturdy machine with a beautiful display full 1080p and is plug and play with my LCD television.
G73JH-A1 by DB-Robinson (Sep, 2010)The 1080p display is visually beautiful and a perfect compliment to gaming.

G73JH-A1 by AdamMB91I was quite excited to learn that this laptop runs better than my desktop computer which has a GTX260 and AMD Phenom II X4 960.
G73JH-A1 by games-are-great (Sep, 2010)It has a i7- 1.6 cpu, it could use 1.9 or 2.0 to give it a little better push but the 1.6 does fine.
processor
G73JH-A1 by J.-Bryant (Mar, 2010)In fact, as I understand it PCMCIA and Firewire actually take CPU cycles that would otherwise be spent on better things like graphics.

G73JH-A1 by asianguy (Apr, 2010)My laptop came with 8 gigs of Kingston 1333mhz rams so that will probably last for the life of the laptop without a need for upgrade even though you could take it up to 16 gigs.
G73JH-A1 by asianguy (Apr, 2010)The bottom side do however have easy access if you want to upgrade rams and hard drives.
