Ok here is the thing...
The only main difference is...
G73sw
- GTX460m, Sub-Woofer
G74sx
-GTX560m (Average 10% faster than the GTX460m), No Sub-Woofer
The optional difference is...
G73sw (A1 and 3DE)
- 8GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM (32 GB Max)
- 2x500GB 7200rpm Seagate Hybrid HDD
G74sx (A1 and 3DE)
- 12GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM (32 GB Max)
- 2x750GB 7200rpm HDD
Chipsets for both are exactly the same...the A1's are Glossy HD 60hz screen...The 3DE are 120Hz Matte Screen with 3D emiiter...For the Most part the 10% increase in the GPU will not be that noticable in most cases, The G73 can run anything the G74 can...But the G74 has a more efficient Video Card, The RAM for the most part 8GB is already overkill, most programs will be limited to run on 4GB RAM since a lot of them still run on 32-Bit environment...so the difference between 8GB and 12GB is negligeble...But thats still extra if you want to consider it.
Basically you cant go wrong with eaither one...If you want the latest go with the G74sx...if lower price is your target then get the G73sw

Which one did you end up choosing? I am in the same boat and can't really decide which one to choose from. I am wondering why the g73sw has a 2 year warranty, but the g74sx only has a 1 year warranty. the price difference between the two is about 400 dollars for me, but i just cant decide if the g74 really is much of an improvement from the g73. the audio was quite on the display version i tried out in the store for the g74. Can anyone from trying the both really give me any advice why i should choose one over the other? Thanks for the help
