Hey all,
I'm new here, and this is my first post.
I have an ASUS G73JH that I bought brand new back in the fall of 2010. It's over 3 years old now and has really started to slow down. Some of this may be due to the amount of software that's been installed on it over the years. Also, it seems like the wireless / ethernet card doesn't work too well anymore.
I have a few questions:
1. Does anyone else have experience with this laptop and has run into similar issues?
2. If so, were you able to resolve them?
3. What are some common things I can look for / do to speed up my computer cheaply (I could take it to a PC repair shop, but I'd like to try learning on and doing it on my own first).
4. Specifically with the wireless / ethernet card, how would I diagnose that to see if it has, in fact, gone bad?
5. (I know I'll need to provide more specifics for this) - Is it worth my time to try to get this old dog running, or should I invest in a new computer at this point, and if so, which one would you recommend? I'm looking for something I can use for gaming as well as game development.
Thanks so much for any and all responses/help/feedback.
