Title: My new laptop
Post by: ZWarrior on September 11, 2010, 10:11:48 PM

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.

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.

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