ASUS G73SW - True Portable Power

Bringing the breathtaking performance of a desktop gaming PC to a compact notebook has been a challenge, but this is exactly what the G73SW achieves. It’s full high definition gaming and multimedia packed into a sleek form with the latest technology.


Processing muscle

The popular G73 series has been updated with the recent release of Intel’s® 2nd generation Core™ i3/i5/i7 for an even faster notebook. With performance rivaling that of a desktop computer, the G73SW is ready for anything that you throw at it, from office applications to video encoding and gaming.

Always cool
With its eye-catching design, the G73SW deploys unique cooling and noise dampening, with two huge rear venting exhausts that push both heat and noise away from users. This results in a cool and quiet environment.
 
Awesome audio

EAX and THX surround audio boosts game enjoyment and immersion with realistic effects and enveloping sound, while redefining sonic performance in music and movies.

Comfort first

The ergonomic illuminated keyboard sits at a 5 degree angle to increase usability even during long gaming sessions, plus surfaces come wrapped in a rubberized material for even greater ease of use.

Gorgeous graphics

The G73SW utilizes the brand new NVIDIA GTX 460M with a massive 1.5GB GDDR5. Based on Fermi technology, this new graphics processor offers native DirectX11 for a huge graphics gain in high definition gaming, plus dedicated video acceleration.Bundled with the G73SW is 3DTV Play from NVIDIA, which projects the high definition graphics of this notebook onto any compatible 3DTV via HDMI 1.4. This includes 3D video, games and photos, taking the experience into the living room.
