[citation][nom]ray-ng[/nom]Woah, did I read the last lines correctly? It says the Asus g73jh will have a price drop from $1600 to $1200? At the end of the month?![/citation]

Haha, if only...It's saying that the G73Jh is getting updated, and the old stock is getting cleared out. Some places are selling the old units for as low as $1200, but it's only for the remaining stock, which is likely running out fast. The new version of the G73 (possibly with the new GTX480M) will probably cost $1799.

It used to be at BestBuy for that price, but I think they ran out of stock for that model. You can still find a similarly spec'd G73Jh from BestBuy for $1300 though: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+Laptop+/+Intel%26%23174;+Core%26%23153;+i7+Processor+/+17.3%22+Display+/+6GB+Memory+/+500GB+Hard+Drive+-+Black/9741729.p?skuId=9741729&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=9741729&ref=06&loc=01&id=1218165344675

Is there any way of finding out what the actual specs of the updated G73 will be?

How did Tom's know that an update was happening this month?

From what I can tell, the new G73 will not be a huge overhaul. It sounds like it'll probably be getting a new Fermi GPU and a 120Hz screen for optimized stereoscopic 3D gaming (a concept I personally think is stupid and far from being mature enough for real use).

I think the G53 sounds pretty interesting though. It'll be fun to see what kind of features and power Asus can pack into a 15 inch laptop.
