The unboxing starts with Linus introducing the ASUS G73JH-A2 as a high-end gaming notebook powered by an Intel Core i7 processor and a Radeon HD 5870 graphics card, highlighting its scale and heft. He compares different versions of the line, notes the lack of Blu-ray in the G2 variant, and begins the reveal by pulling out the included accessories such as a Targus backpack, a heavy AC adapter, and the large power brick. The packaging contents also include a gaming mouse and a cable tie, while he remarks on the absence of printed documentation, suggesting software and drivers live on a preinstalled partition. As the box is emptied, he installs the battery, demonstrates the chassis finish and branding, and discusses cooling airflow around the chassis while pointing out the impressive ventilation design. The first hands-on look focuses on the sturdy hinge, the matte black finish, and the prominent Republic of Gamers branding, before he boots Windows to show the 17.3 inch display, the keyboard layout with chiclet keys, and the expansive touchpad. In closing, he highlights warranty details, such as a two-year global warranty, accidental damage coverage, and 24/7 technical support, and shares initial impressions of the overall user experience with the G73 series, calling it a comfortable, capable desktop-replacement notebook for its era.
