ASUS G73SW-A1 Intel® Core™ Mobile i7 Sandy Bridge Quad Core Mobile Processors

Power through any Challenge

Nothing fazes the G73SW – it runs the latest releases in high detail, no more watered down versions. This beast has Intel® Core™ i7 processors that handle all comers with on demand overclocking through Turbo Boost, hurtling CPU speeds up to 3.33GHz. All it takes is one key press and extra power becomes available..

Stylish Supremacy

Inspired by the F117 stealth bomber, the matte-finished G73SW is an ergonomic feast of gamer-centric features – a huge keyboard that lights up for night time ops and can be turned off instantly for stealth, ample handrest real estate and rubberized surface areas for comfort during prolonged sessions..

Unsurpassed Hardware Package

Memory goes up to a formidable 16GB – run smoothly and relentlessly since nothing needs to be left out. The new G73SW signifies a move towards uncompromised notebooks, so we packed it to the gills with hardware.

Ready for Take Off

Twin rear exhausts draw heat away from the action with some of the best cooling around. This afterburner effect doesn’t come with a noise penalty – G73SW is a formidable performer, but it’s deadly silent.

View to a Thrill

Visuals look awesome on the 15.6” full HD screen, and made even better by the nVIDIA with 1.5GB GDDR5 – an overkill GPU taking notebook gaming beyond the edge so you no longer have to switch graphic details off in options menus. G73SW is 100% DX11 compliant – offering all the benefits of the latest graphics standard. Future proofing never had this much firepower. Even the built-in rises above the norm – offering 2 megapixels so gamers can stay in visual contact with one another in style.
