Most Favorable Review

Perfect

BIOSTAR TA770 A2+ AM2+/AM2 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard
BIOSTAR TA770 A2+ AM2+/AM2 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Nice Motherboard, it went in my case really smooth. No problems. CPU, Memory, all connections are working great. Every connector work out great USB, Audio Front & Back, Zero issuse

Cons: None

Overall Review: Upgrade from a Single core 2.6 processor to the AMD 2.3 Quad core, work out great. A little time and a little money and it was all worth it. Newegg is the best number one in my book.

Most Critical Review

I EXPECTED THIS

HighPoint RocketRAID 1820A 64bit, 66/100/133Mhz PCI-X SATA Controller Card
HighPoint RocketRAID 1820A 64bit, 66/100/133Mhz PCI-X SATA Controller Card

Pros: Nice Controller Card, It supports 8 Hard Drive, Yes boys and girls, only Hard Drives I found this out the hard way. But I was still in the game on the Grand Scheme of things. Backwards compatible will work in PCI slot. Port are easy to get too. And it really does support 8 Hard Disk, SATA of course.

Cons: Make sure you download the latest drivers for this card you are going to need them. Was a pain, setup this card really took hrs. Warning if you plan to hook up say the old SATA CD Roms then dont buy this card it only work with SATA Hard Disk. I almost had to choose, between the Hard Disk and my CD roms. But I had an other options and it work, so now I can use all of them.

Overall Review: Learn all you can about RAID Tech. Wish I did, Would have made life so much better. I just wish the setup, was easy but it not, How about plug and play? Didnt know anything about RAID Tech. But now did crash course and now I know a little. Newegg Rocks

The Best I have owned

Corsair H2100 USB Connector Circumaural Dolby 7.1 Wireless Gaming Headset
Corsair H2100 USB Connector Circumaural Dolby 7.1 Wireless Gaming Headset

Pros: When I first got these, I hooked them up to my PC in like 30 sec. Right off the bat they work great, with zero problems. But my PC were wired to the internet and I didn't have a wireless problem, However I am using my laptop for a job site, and I some problems in hooking up them to my laptop, I just tried the wired and charge them, but it didn't take. Well I got smart and plug in the dongle and now work great again. Also I am wireless and have no problems on both my laptop and and the headset. Now I know these are not the best on the market, but for the price you can't go wrong. I would buy again, but I hope not for awhile. I use this playing COD all of the games and coop missions with my brother on Skype at the same time, I hear him clearly both ways.

Cons: Well if any cons I would say longer battery life, you get about 10hrs so far, but I would use them way beyond that. However you can use the cable to take over operations. Volume is great, but when I am listen to my metal. I like it louder. I guess they set it up so you don't blow the speakers smart.

Overall Review: ASUS G73 JH 2.13GHZ laptop, 32GB memory 2TB. Corsair H2100 and a Netgear D6200 Modem/Router Wireless. All wireless all the way. Zero Issues.

Update to my other review

ASUS Laptop G Series Intel Core i7-720QM 8GB Memory 1TB HDD ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 17.3" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit G73JH-A2
ASUS Laptop G Series Intel Core i7-720QM 8GB Memory 1TB HDD ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 17.3" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit G73JH-A2

Pros: Great laptop, like it said on my other review.

Cons: LCD Monitor took a dump, thought it was the video card. But it not I plug in another monitor and it looks fine, So it the LCD.

Overall Review: Well I will have to turn in back in for repair, Great right before my vacation. Hard to say why LCD took a dump, closed lid good, like I done many time before and then never a problem until now. Great.... When it rains it pours. I downgrade the egg, due to LCD failure within 6 month. My old Dell I had for 5 years and it ran great. But need some thing faster. So I went with this one. Still ASUS rocks and things break. But right before my vacation, come on....

Update

ASUS Laptop G Series Intel Core i7-720QM 8GB Memory 1TB HDD ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 17.3" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit G73JH-A2
ASUS Laptop G Series Intel Core i7-720QM 8GB Memory 1TB HDD ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 17.3" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit G73JH-A2

Pros: People, this is an update, I been wanting to write a updated reviewer on the G73 A2, Still great, I finally loaded Battlefield Bad Company 2. I max this game out all the way baby. How did it play well better than my two 3.0 Quads I built. No St. No Lag, or anything. It seems at the time of this writing everything I thrown at this laptop, and it looks at me, and says is that it?

Cons: None, really I am very happy with my purchase. Serious. and I know you will be too. Of course It is from New Egg, it rocks TD yeah right.

Overall Review: Now i know we as American down grade China products. Well ASUS should have been an American company. Why you say because they got there *&^% together? This is the baddest laptop on the planet period. Ok this is the deal, I have over 400 PC games after purchasing games I like. Now not all of them run Win 7 64 Bit, but the baddest ones do. So get into the game.

Is there anything better?

ASUS Laptop G Series Intel Core i7-720QM 8GB Memory 1TB HDD ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 17.3" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit G73JH-A2

Pros: Love the design, it runs really cool, so far I have not had any issues on this. Nice feel of the laptop with the rubber covering. No finger prints on it. The speed is awsome, now I read a few reviews, now either I got luckly or it the standard on this. First my laptop came with the 1333mhz memory chips, not the 1066mhz like some people said they were getting. Also I read some about you can disable the touch pad. Well on min you can. Just use the FN key and the F key. Touchpad off. I got my laptop and the first thing I did was format both hard drives after I back it up. Once clean I reprogram it the way I wanted it. I am still program it as of now. I just loaded Fuel of War, and wow it plays better on this puppy. I have heard that Bad Company 2 is pushing it, I dont know yet, not there yet. Crysis rocks, COD WAW too. Graphics is a little dark, but look great. Sound is nice, but can be louder. Memory and HD rock, SD card slot work great. Lots of features on this puppy. Battery good.

Cons: Well my frist problem is when I formated the 500GB HD both of them, I really wanted to go with a dual boot Winxp and Win7 64 bit. Yeah right dream on. So I tried to load just Win 7 32bit, NOT. So Win7 64 Bit went back on it. That is all that will work on it. So I was a little mad on that issuse. A dual boot would have been perfect on this. Graphics a little dark, and you can't do anything about it once you max it out. Again, sound too low. That is about it on the cons.

Overall Review: Well it does come with a back pack, nice, but I got an Alien one from Ama. Works better I think, If you are a gamer and for the price on this laptop you cant beat it. I am a hard core gamer and this is the dream machine I been waiting for. Not a gamer you say, no problem if you can game then you can do everything eles. Wireless work great, bluetooth, awsome. I was worried my old Palm software would not work, under Win7 but thank a higher power it did. That was was my biggest concern. Not all software will run under Win7, You will just have to get a feel for the old girl, I have plans to replace the HD once the 1TB Hard Drves come out in 7200RPM Speed. I will get two of them. And 2 more batteries then I will be complete. My XPS M170 served me well, but she cant handle the latest and greatest. This puppy can and wants more. So get this puppy, you will be happy. I am :)
