ASUS G73Jh DX11 Gaming Notebook Review

Posted on 2010-03-22 15:18:05 by Thomas De Maesschalck

Today we take an in-depth look at the ASUS G73Jh. Featuring the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 mobile GPU, mobile gamers once again have an offering of top-of-the-line graphics performance in a notebook. Paired with an Intel Core i7 720QM mobile CPU, the G73Jh offers some serious performance both for gamers and video encoders. Throw in a 17.3" Full HD display and you are probably wondering what the price tag is... That's the best part!

Quote: "ASUS has once again produced a solid mobile system with the G73Jh. With the size and weight of a gaming notebook with a 17.3" screen, solid construction is a must in order for the consumer to feel confident their investment is going to last. ASUS has constantly excelled in this arena and the G73Jh is no exception. We are very impressed with the price versus performance of the ASUS G73Jh. For $1599 at the time of writing, you get a top-of-the-line ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 GPU, an Intel Core i7 720QM CPU and a 17.3" Full HD 1920x1080 resolution display for on-the-go gaming. Paired with a Blu-Ray combo drive, 8GB RAM and large storage, not only is this a gaming notebook, but it is a video transcoding power house, especially when using applications that utilize ATI's Stream technology to do the encoding. While this Republic of Gamers notebook did not come with a carrying case or the Eee Stick, we feel excluding those items is probably when helped keep the price point iden tical to that of the G51Vx which came in a 15" screen package..."

AMD has MOBILE and very low power DX11 chips probably a year or so before Nvidia. Credit where credit is due, this is a fantastic feat. Back to school will be AMD. Holiday 2010, will be AMD.

Only thing AMD has to worry about is the meager 2 chips (NONE of them capable of becoming mobile chips) that Nvidia could manage to dredge up after a year.
