ASUS G73JW-A1 Republic of Gamers Review

ASUS G73JW-A1
Fast, quiet, cool and aesthetically. I bought this machine primarily for gaming, and to use every day job. This is a champ on two jobs.

Some highlights:
- Fast: This machine has never bogged down, and has a great video card. I can play Champions Online Fallen Earth and the highest resolution with details inflated, and it's smooth as butter. It can also rip and code video quickly.
- Silent: The most amazing thing of this machine is the optical drive, and also work in a whisper. My MacBook Pro fan and optical drive are both stronger than sin. And that drive was almost two times more expensive than that!
- Cool: run this machine as hard as you want - it is always fresh, thanks to the rear exhaust. My MacBook Pro constantly running so hot it almost burned my hands! I had an external keyboard to use all the time.
- Aesthetics: Chiclet keyboard is easy to use and feels good. The rest of the rubber keypad is also very relaxing. The machine is dead sexy to watch. The keypad backlighting and other lighting are fantastic.

Other bonuses:
- Blu-ray: Yes!
- Free Backpack: This is a beautiful bag, and you put the laptop and (if narrow).
- Gaming Mouse Free: ditto for the mouse: dang not bad for a make-a-way!

NOTE:
If you have any problems with the keyboard type (eg, missing keys and you know what hit them, especially when typing quickly), remove the Synaptics touchpad / mouse drivers. This solved the problem for me and for others. This was the only problem I had with this machine.
