I think you're right. For years I was waiting for 
the Asus to crap out and then go buy me a Lenovo 
because people were impressed with their keyboards.
Just checked-in on their lineup, it's done for too.

it does look a little more than just a 'surface' :-)

I live on the coast so cooling is seldom an issue,
the g73 was actually a good machine performancewise, 
what I didn't/don't like is the 17" size and that 
really is only my fault for not having tried it 
first, the all-black, the flimsy (BUT BACKLIT!) 
keyboard, and the battery life so short that I
never replaced the origional one when it went.

Not only that, but the desktop itself could be headed
for oblivion; it's a new world we live in
