Conclusion: The G74SX is a good laptop marred by painful concessions — namely the awful trackpad, cheap speakers and droves of crapware. All of these things can be overcome by the user spending more time and money, but we sure wish this wasn't the case.

Pro : High level performance ; More RAM than you can poke a stick at ; 3GB on a video card? Is that even necessary ; Easy access panel for upgrading

Cons : Terrible Sentelic touch pad makes a return ; Bad quality speakers considering the size of the laptop ; Voluminous amounts of crapware
