This 17-inch notebook by Asus is looking to be a pretty solid gaming laptop — an Asus Republic of Gamers (ROG) G73Jh. Announced back in January during CES 2011, the Asus G73Jh is said to be inspired by the Lockheed F117A stealth fighter. See our unboxing photos below and judge for yourself.

When the system is set to Performance mode, the 8-cell battery only lasts about 1 hour after a full charge — that’s how much power this rig eats up easily. Of course, notebooks like this one aren’t recommended to be unplugged from the power outlet.
Suggested retail price of this rig is Php99,995. Been running SC2 and DOTA at highest settings without any problems. Expect the full review of the unit next week.
