Asus, the leading developer of notebooks, has launched the replacement to the extremely popular G73JH-TZ008Z in the South African market. The NEW Asus Republic of Gamers 17.3 inch G73JW has been upgraded with the latest NVIDIA mobile Fermi graphics cards. It already has great specs included like the Quad Core i7 CPU, 8 GB of DDR3 RAM, two hard drives of 500GB each, Blu-ray ROM optical drive and an 8 cell battery, but it is the 3D capability that is attracting the attention of the serious gaming community.

For the first time, Asus Republic of Gamers (ROG) are using the new NVIDIA GTX 460M graphics engine that comes with the huge 1.5 GB of GDDR5 memory and these machines are going to need it. For the G53 and G73 will be running the NVIDIA GTX 460M which is great for rendering 3D visuals, which indicates that the G73 notebooks will be offering the user 3D gaming.

Make sure your name is on the list for the first shipment arriving at WebAntics Online.

ASUS introduced its G73JH-TZ008Z gaming laptop right at the start of this year, but unfortunately getting it locally as been as difficult as finding a Bafana Bafana soccer jersey with a Protea logo. That’s now changed however, as the laptop will be arriving at the beggining of June in bigger shipments and is already available right now for advance orders (at WebAntics.co.za, at least) for the not-so-crazy price of R20,541.59 incl. That will get you a 17.3″ HD 1920×1080 display, a Core i7 1.6Hz Quad Processor, 8GB of DDR3 RAM, 2 x 500GB hard drives, 1GB of ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 graphics, and a Blu-Ray ROM/DVD-RW Drive, among other more standard offerings — all in a suitably awe-inspiring, 3.85 kg package. All this plus the Asus Gaming Backpack, Gaming Mouse & Asus Headset, and we’d say you’re pretty good-to-go! See the promo video here
