Seems nice. I could do without the backlit keyboard and would prefer nvidia. How much does it weigh?

Also, where can I learn more about this turbo mode? Is it just rebranded speedstep?

Well, the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 is the fastest single mobile graphics card available right now.

Some idea about the turbo mode:

As all Asus gaming notebooks, the G73Jh has a turbo mode that is called Twin Turbo and is supposed to overclock the graphic card as well as the Intel Core i7. Asus even starts with the lower clockrate of 1.6 GHz that is used when all four processor cores are used and increases them.

The G73Jh reaches 12872 points in 3DMark06 with enabled Twin Turbo mode, as opposed to 11990 without Turbo enabled.


It weighs 3.85 kg with the 8-cell battery attached.
