Looking to get a new laptop to replace the HP I am using now. I plan to use it for work and play.

It has the power to do VMWare and Wow. Z likey!
Asus actually has a newer model, the G73JH-B1, coming soon that I may get instead, we'll see.

Get one with a large SSD drive and it will be oh so much faster.
-
And WAAAAY more expensive!
-
But worth it........

Ordered today. Different model though:

So....how did you customize it? What options did you go for?
-
Just upgraded the thermal compound. I will upgrade the RAM later. It can go up to 16G, and it has 4 slots, only 2 are used for the 8G. They wanted $400+ to upgrade the RAM to 16G, but I can do it on NewEgg for $250. that may be my Christmas present.
-
So when should I stop by to pick up my new laptop?
-
When you buy it. :P

Looks a lot like what mine could be if I had taken all the upgrades. Nice DTR though.
