    Hello,

    Former Asus G73jh user (see sig). Just purchased a NP9170 w/7970.

    I have to say the purchase at powernotebooks.com has to be one of the best customer experiences I have ever had. Had to do it over the phone to figure out shipping options and was taken care of perfectly. Rep was extremely courteous and helpful beyond belief. First time buyer from here, and will be at the top of my list for future purchases.

    Can't wait to get my hands on the new laptop!

    Regards,

    SStaged

    update: Laptop arrived 7/11. I can't thank PowerNotebooks enough. I ordered it on the 5th, and since I was going out of town to visit my family, needed it shipped there. Maybe an hour after I arrived, UPS knocked on the door. I received prompt email responses along the way as well as a follow up email after I received it! Talk about service.

    Hehe, good choice SStaged instead of wasting endless time an money and looking like a fool trying to upgrade the G73JH to a 7970M. I also still have my G73JH. I'm thinking of just using it as a network hub for media or just leaving it at work as a work machine.

    Don't know about the 9170EM, but while just browsing net etc, while the fan is still on, I don't hear it much. It's surprisingly quiet. Though when gaming, it does ramp up quick, but whatever, that's what headphones are for!

    I plan on buying my 9170 from PowerNotebooks (working on those posts!), and even so far as I've talked to them I am extremely happy already with the service. They went out of their way to let me know of discounts, easy money transfers (shocker there, they want money fast too), and product information. From what I hear they have very quick turnarounds on this laptop with the specs I want, so we'll see how it is after ordering!

    If you go for cash discount, I recommend making sure you send your check by certified mail or just do bank transfer or whatever they have. Instant what not.

    Good luck with PowerNotebook. I love the enthusiasm and help Paladin provides on this forum.

    I also have just placed an order with Powernotebooks for an NP9170, so far the experience has been nothing short of stellar, lets hope the laptop reaches me all the way to the Middle East in one piece and then I can write a full review.
