glaufan - thanks a lot for the screenshot and information. I'll update the top post.

I just sent question to ASUS about N53SN notebooks and AES-NI support on 2630QM processors, so let's wait for the outcome

I've sent a report to asus about g73sw AES-NI support, feels like a waste of time tbh. But Im sure it helps at least a little.

Local TSD informed me that the BIOS for the K53E was a beta version and the AES-NI will not be available in the final version. I tried to obtain a beta for G73SW.

I think the only thing that can sum that up is "what the ***?" It doesn't exactly cost them anything to have it enabled.

Hopefully you can get us a G73SW beta version with it enabled - it really is the last thing needed for it to be the perfect laptop for me.

Or somebody should try to find the right CMOS modification by himself - I remember, how was I solving similar issue with enabling HW virtualization on my old notebook - editing CMOS helped and it worked since then
Hardware Virtualization on HEL80/81

Show me a tool that lets me edit the bios on my G73SW to enable it, and I'll do it. It uses an Aptio AMI bios, and no one's leakeda version of mmtool yet that supports it. Or at least that I know of.

Skywise, post an Asus link to the BIOS you want and I'll have a look.

Hi, I'm not Skywise, but this is the latest available bios for G73SW:
ASUSTeK Computer Inc. - Notebooks- ASUS G73SW

Yeah that's the one.
