Personally I really want to get the G73Jh... it's the perfect or ideal machine for my needs and I don't need to shell out for the windows OS software, the wireless card nor card reader
ANYWAYS, do give me your feedback on what I have listed and if you have a better recommendation please let me know as well but give me a reason as to why it is better...
128 GB ssd is nice and read/write faster than 64 GB version but I don't think I am willing to pay $350 for 128 GB? The SSD will be for OS + primary applications and only those. Games will be installed on the samsung 1tb drive (i heard it's faster than WD Black, but have not verified that yet).
