I do not have a site preference but this site has good reviews and low prices. I am also open to other recommendations, there two are simply two laptops with good reviews and specs I like.
10_How long do you want to keep your laptop?
I would like to keep it at least 3 years but longer would be better.
11_What kind of Optical drive do you need? DVD ROM/Writer,Bluray ROM/Writer,Etc ?
Both of my laptop choices come with DVDRW, Bluray is not a necessity.
12_Please tell us about the brands that you prefer to buy from them and the brands that you don't like and explain the reasons.
I do not have a brand preference as long as the build quality is good.
13_What country do you live in?
United States of America.
14_Please tell us any additional information if needed.
What I would like to know is if either or both of these laptops will likely be able to play modern games at Medium, or even Low, settings in 3 or 4 years. I have also heard of some driver problems with the G73 and would like to know if anyone has any experience with this? The concern I have with the GX640 is the keyboard, is it really that terrible? I've had my current laptop for 4-5 years and it is barely able to run Firefox and play media at the same time, so my last concern is still being able to multitask at the end of the laptops life.
