i Have an asus G73JH, paid +1800$ for it when it was brand spanking new.
Verdict:
- best bang for your buck, hands down
- mouepad was utter crap, they saved money on that part
- materials were flimsy and felt cheap, when i picked up the laptop ( ok it's a bulky 17" thing ) with on hand i always feared it was gonna break in half. On a sidenote, i always had problems getting it in my handluggage when flying, max weight is 5kg for most companies and this thing with adaptor is close to 6kg.
Final verdict:
if you want the best possible hardware for your money go asus 'repulblic of gamers',
just know they save money on everything that isn't directly related to performance 🙂
Note: i never regretted my purchase, i would buy it again if i...
