Title: Feedback on the Ibm w520 or the Asus g73?
Post by: YetAnotherDeveloper on Mon, 02 May 2011, 09:50:41

I'm thinking about getting a new work laptop and the w520 (http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:category.details?current-catalog-id=12F0696583E04D86B9B79B0FEC01C087¤t-category-id=F2A3EC7C45634AE8AB0F26CCAC867854) and the asus g73 (http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Gaming_Powerhouse/G73Jw/) are in the running.  

anyone have any feedback on these? in the past i heard bad things about the screen on the w500's but that was a bit ago and i'm dont remember the source so...  

If you have other suggestions i would like to hear em, i just want an i7 and raid 0/1 options.

As an owner of a G73JH-A1 (1tb no blueray) I have nothing bad to say about this laptop. You get premium parts and incredible build quality especially the ventilation (thing is a ****ing JET, but quiet). Almost every review Ive seen said that it was a very good quality/price. I don't know a lot about computers but I don't regret my purchase.
