Sounds like Domination
G73 gamers get the upper hand thanks to EAX 4.0 3D surround that makes every morsel of audio come to life in vivid detail for complete spatial awareness. Great gaming deserves great sound – not the tinny output other notebooks have.
Stylish Supremacy
Inspired by the F117 stealth bomber, the matte-finished G73 is an ergonomic feast of gamer-centric features – a huge keyboard that lights up for night time ops and can be turned off instantly for stealth, ample handrest real estate and rubberized surface areas for comfort during prolonged sessions.
Ready for Take Off
Twin rear exhausts draw heat away from the action with some of the best cooling around. This afterburner effect doesn’t come with a noise penalty – G73 is a formidable performer, but it's deadly silent.
