Final thoughts and rating
Available for just under £1,650, ASUS's G73JH notebook isn't cheap, but you do get a lot of bang for your buck.
The ability to run the latest games with little sacrifices in image quality is a huge boon, and ASUS's Republic of Gamers bundle - which includes a gaming mouse, a SteelSeries Siberia headset and a RoG backpack - makes it a complete mobile gaming solution.
An enjoyable 17.3in display provides vivid Blu-ray visuals, and the internal triumvirate - a Core i7 processor, Mobility Radeon HD 5870 graphics and 8GB of DDR3 memory - ensures there's plenty of power on tap for most usage scenarios.
If there's a chink in the notebook's admittedly-awesome armour, it's the hard-to-press trackpad buttons and the short-lived battery life.
The Good
- Few notebooks offer so much for under £1,650
- Can run the latest DX11 games in full-HD
- 17.3in display provides excellent Blu-ray visuals
- Keeps cool and quiet under the hood
- Bundle includes a gaming mouse, headset and backpack

The Bad
- Trackpad buttons are frustratingly firm
- Poor battery life
- Pre-loaded with a lot of bloatware
- Looks like a stealth fighter?
