My previous laptop was several years old, and while still pretty functional, my work and personal demands called for something new. After a great deal of research and comparison shopping, I went to amazon.com and purchased the Asus G73JW-A1 laptop. So far, it's awesome, and will run my music production software as well as the eye tracking suites I need for work very smoothly. If I can be arsed to do it, I'll post a full review once I've had more time to play with it.
