Its a G73S. has the 17" (or so) screen with the 1gb dedicated GTX460M video card.. i constantly have it on a laptop pad with the fans running under it.. i never feel heat coming from it . neither on keyboard or under... it was nice.. has 8gb ddr3 as well.. so for gaming and other stuff, works well.. hell played my vid game same if not better than my desktop
also been nice due to having the HDMI out since DL'd some of my movies and then just watch it on the tv from the laptop
the ONLY thing this thing lacks that my other laptop had was the Blu-Ray player, but i honestly never used it, so isn't really missed
the vid card crashing seems to happen if i leave the laptop on for a day or two and then when i would open Firefox, game, sometimes just even plugging in my external HDD, the system would come up with thte "Nvidia display driver stopped working" and my laptop would restart etc.. but problem is it would keep recycling the reboot.. only way to "correct" the issue was to physically shut the laptop down and then reboot.. and all would be fine
.. i have a feeling its a driver issue.. least that is what I am hoping and keep updating to newest to hopefully eventually correct.. the only other thing i could think of is that the vid card is some how overheating after being on.. then that would be a cooling issue.. or jsut a defect on this model of vid card.. and well i cant totally fix that without sending it for repair.. and want to avoid that since last time i didnt get a laptop bac :P
