ASUS has announced that its high-end ROG G73Jh gaming notebook - first seen back at CES in January - will be making its way to UK retail early in April priced at £1,899.

The 17.3in behemoth, pictured above, is the latest addition to ASUS's extreme Republic of Gamers line and claims to be "inspired by the iconic and unsurpassed stealth fighter itself,  the F-117 Nighthawk".

You're either going to love it or hate it aesthetically, but if you fall into the former category, here's what you can look forward to. ASUS's £1,899 specification consists of a 2GHz Intel Core i7 920QM processor, 8GB of DDR3 memory running at 1,066MHz and a 1GB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 discrete graphics card.

That's a combination that will beat out most desktops in terms of gaming performance, and it's complimented nicely by a pair of 500GB 2.5in hard drives (both of which are of the quicker 7,200rpm variety, of course), a Blu-ray combo drive and a full-HD 1,920x1,080 LED-backlit display.

According to ASUS, it isn't just designed to look like a stealth fighter for the sake of aesthetics, as the manufacturer has positioned all the hot-and-bothered internal components toward the rear of the chassis, where a "unique twin rear venting system" helps keep the system cool.

Measuring 320mm x 415mm x 18.9-56.89mm, it's a chunky beast at its thickest point, and it weighs a noticeable 3.85kg. There's no mention of how long the battery is likely to last, but you'd be best advised not to stray too far from a power outlet.

me gunna save and me gunna get

Wow, I'd love to have something like that… £1800 is a lot but it beats the MacBooks in pricing AFAIK.

I wonder what the battery life is though.

I think it's time for a Hexus.competition where they're giving one of these away for free and I'm the default winner? In my dreams perhaps :D
Please DO NOT buy this laptop in the UK!!!!

£1899 is an absolute rip off when it costs $1699 in the US.

Rather import from US and you'll land it in UK all payed for, shipping, duties + vat for around £1300.

Buy it from Amazon.com (Current price Price: $1,648.03) who ship internationally or Newegg and use a 3rd party company to hand shipping.

STOP ASUS and other companies from raping UK gamers!!!
