2.0 out of 5 starsOverheated

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2017

Verified Purchase

I brought this computer last year, hoping to find something I can use for gaming and for college. After about two weeks, it began having issues, and started to freeze after about 30 minutes of using it.
I won't lie - for a week, it worked perfectly, and it was a great computer. The speaker was great, the specs were fantastic for being an older model, and it was a good computer for the price. However, because of the overheating issue, it is unusable now.

This is an awesome gaming laptop.Runs well, plays games smoothly, and importantly, service/responsiveness from the seller was good.

There was a windows update that was a little hairy, but that’s Windows for you.Once I got that figured out the laptop has been running ike a champ ever since.

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2013

I bought this laptop refurbished, but it has been excellent. No major issues so far (bought in Jan 2011).

Pros:
i7 processor and radeon 5870 = plays most games on high graphics
big screen
backlit keyboard
fans on back of the computer make it so the bottom of the computer doesn't get hot

Cons:
Big laptop, not super portable
kinda loud
battery doesn't last long (I don't really use it without plugging it in though)

I installed windows 8 on it and it works well too.

I ordered a laptop g73jh-rbbx05, first laptop came and had dead pixels. Exchanged it for a different one. Having trouble returning the original. Got the new one before the old one got picked up. Here's the amazing part.. the new one won't load windows... amazing how amazon have terrible quality control. I called ASUS for assistance and the only thing they can do is for me to send my laptop to them to get fixed (which is gonna cost money) and yet again do the dreaded waiting game... I expected so so much more from Amazon. What a mess.. Now I yet again have to do another waiting game just to return the 2nd broken laptop. So i have 2 laptops waiting to get picked up for return. Days of waiting for them and in the end nothing to show for it but contempt. If this isn't enough to deter you maybe you were just like me. I too read the bad reviews and thought maybe it was an isolated event or this could not possibly happen to me, or maybe you were thinking Amazon or ASUS would never give out bad products. I just hope no one has to go thru what i went thru. TLDR: Refurbished products by amazon will waste your time and give you nothing but problems.

3.0 out of 5 starsWarning: buy this and you might not see your son again

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2012

Verified Purchase

I say you might not see your son again because this not-so-little "notebook" is clearly made with video games in mind. Too big to be a "laptop," don't fall for the "I can use it for school" line. Hah! It's got loads of video processing power and speed, and a fine CPU for whatever the CPU is supposed to do, I suppose, though all ours is ever called on to do is Starcraft.
In other words, the vendor delivered what he promised: a powerful notebook computer aimed at the video game market.

1.0 out of 5 starsLooks Durable, But Is Not

Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2011

Verified Purchase

We received this laptop near the beginning of April.By the beginning of September, it was no longer functional.The charger started developing issues almost immediately, because it is one of those badly-designed chargers that sticks out too far from the body of the laptop.Then, the non-skid pads came off the bottom.Then, the vent on the back broke.Today, I have received a replacement charger from Amazon, in the assumption that it would work with a new charger.No dice!The problem was not the charger, and now I have to figure out how to get my needed files off the machine before I need them in less than two days for a meeting.It is very heavy and large, and looks as if you could throw it down the stairs, but I wanted a durable laptop.Unfortunately, I did not get one.

This machine has had issues from the start with the touch pad, which is extremely unreliable.I had to attach an external mouse to it just to use it without frustration.Also, the video has always had issues, because it shows a blue haze around areas on the screen where there is a lot of movement.I was just trying to put up with all these issues, in the assumption that no more would develop.I was wrong!Do not buy this laptop!

5.0 out of 5 starsLaptop of my dreams!

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2012

Verified Purchase

I researched laptops for a month before I bought my ASUS G75VW-DS72.I'm a video shooter/editor and I was tired of the lags and skips on hi-def AVI files.I ordered the ASUS from Amazon and hoped for the best. I received it it the mail five days before I expected it.

WOW did I do some awesome research.This laptop is SCREAMING FAST. My previous laptop was pretty fast, it rendered a 10 minute DV-AVI in about 20 minutes.My new ASUS renders the same 10 minute video in less than 2 minutes!POW!

I won't miss the bluescreen of death once a month that I'd come to expect with my previous model (VAIO).No disrespect, my VAIO was a real pal, a trooper that got me through MANY edits, but its newest reviews didn't impress me.

I am so happy with my new ASUS that I render movies I don't even need...just to watch the progress bar fly to the right.This laptop was clearly designed for gamers, but it's perfect for my video productions.

I have found all pros and no cons with my new ASUS.There is much joy in my heart each time I lift the lid.

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat laptop....but!!!!....SEE UPDATE!

Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2012

Verified Purchase

I received this laptop yesterday and was drooling to get it out of the box and fired up.I was immediately impressed with the looks and feel of this machine.I got the battery loaded, plugged it in and turned it on.I then went through all the new startup menus and got to my desktop, so far so good as I was loving everything about it.Then, once I started playing with all the cool programs preloaded by ASUS, the trouble started.I kept getting a screen blanking and message saying that my video driver recovered from a failure or something along those lines.So, I thought, I probably need to update the drivers and all that normal new computer stuff.Once I got to NVIDIA's web site, I come to learn that the graphics card in this machine doesn't have any drivers out for it yet!!!HUH?Yep, NVIDIA put out the GTX 670M graphics card with no extablished drivers for it.After reading the forums, there is still no date given for when the drivers will be available.They have the drivers for the Linux OS but not for Win 7/XP. So, those of you that are wanting a "turnkey" system right out of the box will be dissapointed as I was to discover that you will have to wait an undetermined amount of time for drivers to support the card in this laptop.As it sits now, can't even play the current games on the lowest video settings without screen blanking and even blue-screen/system restarts.I'm sure that once the drivers are out, this system will be a gamer's dream but till then.......I'm keeping my finger's crossed.

UPDATE:Today is 6/28/2012 and I just got my laptop back from ASUS after sending it to them on the 19th.IT IS A FREAKING BEAST !!!!.They replaced the GPU in the system as the original one was obviously bad.Now it is running great with none of the issues I was having before with the screen blanking and driver recovery popup notices.I have only run the Windows Experience Index so far as I haven't downloaded a benchmark tool yet but it gave me 7.4's on both of the graphics tests where before it was only giving me 1.0's.I'm currently installing SWTOR on here and am excited to see how the game plays on maxed settings.So far everything about this system now seems to be exactly as I had hoped it would be when I ordered it.I now can only hope that the ssue I had with the GPU was a limited fluke in just a few of those cards and the rest of the machines out there are just fine.I'll post a new update once I've run some different games with maxed setting and let you games know how it performs....but so far it looks like it will be just as all the other reviews are that you can find on YouTube for this system.

4.0 out of 5 starsReviews scared me

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2012

Verified Purchase

I read a great deal on this laptop and most reviews were negative with freeze-ups, bluescreens of death and no drivers for the vidio card....Awsome machine, well constructed, chicklet back lit keyboard, sounds good (not great) more memeory on the vidiocard than most laptops have period. I have played games with no slow down or freezing. I have streamed movies not only on the laptop but through the laptop to the TV. No connection problems with my wireless Netgear router nor my bluray player. Wish the battery lasted a bit longer but in game mode with back lighting on dosen't last more than 2 hours. (buy a 2nd btry). Overall if you are not into the laptop for gaming you need much less than this for alot less bucks but if you want THE machine and do not want to spend the bucks on aleinware, or MSI then you may want to consider the ASUS.
This is my 7 month update, Still impressed with this monster. The fans remain quiet even after all this time. Glad I ignored the initial reviews I would buy this again with no hesitatation what-so-ever!

1.0 out of 5 starsNice if it works

Reviewed in Canada on February 2, 2014

Verified Purchase

I bought one of these in Oct 2012.It can me in two days instead of the 4 they said it would take (nice) and was left sitting on my doorstep in plain view, with a shipping label attached that actually listed the entire package contents!I'm amazed that it was still there when I got home!What would have happened if it was just gone and I never got it?No signature to receive a $2K item?Ok.

Out of the box it worked well.In fact, for exactly one year, it worked well.The only issue with it was that the "subwoofer" is notoriously difficult to use.The sound is greatly enhanced with it active, but it is not controlled by the main system volume control.If you plug in headphones, the subwoofer still plays sound, so you have to go into your sound device settings and manually turn it down.Super annoying when you want to rip out the headphones to show something to someone.You have to go reset the subwoofer volume EVERY TIME.

In Sept 2013 the real fun began.The laptop now just freezes up randomly.It doesn't matter what it is being used for.It isn't reliable.Safe mode is the only reliable way to use the laptop, which is useless because you can't use sound or video drivers in safe mode.When I was first researching this laptop I didn't find anything about this issue.Now that I am experiencing it, I am seeing forum posts everywhere about this issue with ASUS laptops, though most don't seem to have the extreme problem that I am having.

The laptop will freeze up during the boot process, making recovery impossible.Every attempt to reinstall windows is met with failure.Restore isn't able to finish because the crap machine won't run for more that a couple minutes (which is a long time) without just locking up.The four recovery discs the machine demands you burn don't do anything at all no matter how I try to use them; pre boot, triggered from menu,

When I first got it, I would have recommended it to anyone.Now that I've had the pleasure of using it for a while, I would never buy another ASUS product, nor would I suggest anyone else to even consider it.Search google for "ASUS laptop freezes randomly" and you will see thread after thread of people having these problems with ASUS machines.

TL;DR - Piece of crap machine that is going back to the factory

Reviewed in Canada on October 17, 2012

Verified Purchase

This purchase through Amazon was a first for me because of all the 'bad knocks' about being stuck with junk purchased on/through the Net,in general. Purchasing through Amazon was a GREAT experience and 'yes' I would do it again.

The product. What can I say,ASUS (in my mind is GREAT)and they certainly didn't let me down with this one. The wieght of it made me adapt an 'apposing corners' handling/lifting the Laptop. When I picked it up by the sides I popped the gard off the DVD player but managed to pop that back in place.
The only other thing I have noticed,to date,is the installation of five(5) Control Active X programs,all the same Product Version from MS Corp. BUT none of them in English. MS Corp. should be able to answer this question.

I'm off to visit family and friends in AB & SK for a week or so and I'm quite sure it will be tested when my Grandson gets his mits on it.

Have a GREAT day and give it your 'all',unless you have to go to the Bank for a loan to do it.
