GentechPC Review of G75VW.

Their model comes with Thunderbolt.

Sum up from NBR discussion, GTX 660M is not soldered on the mainboard, GTX 670M is soldered on the mainboard.

GTX 670M models will be delayed to Mid May.

the packaging is excellent..the backpack and the mouse should be in the box like in the video..not seperately

High odds, NO. Asus uses a reverse MXM format. So far, none has manage to get Nvidia gpu boot up, except for the G73JH which many users managed to upgrade to HD6970M.
The Standalone deals will be the ones without Bag and Mouse but with customized hardware such as Hybrid drive/SSD and i7 3720QM or higher.

I can see why they redesigned the keyboard with the chassis to prevent the keyboard flex issue which many user complained a lot, on the downside, its harder to clean.

G55VW as referred to the Manual has only 1 Hard drive bay, and no sub woofer.

where you got the g55vw manual?

I would suggest wait for proper review first. Most reviewers online only covers G75VW.

Check back Post #909. I had already mentioned that G55VW might come with Single Hard disk as the Manual when it is released at time was showing the blueprint design only capable of holding one drives ONLY.

So you mean I should wait for proper review and then buy the asus g55vw bro? Coz im getting this laptop tomorrow

not sure if the g55 has subwoofer or extra hd bay or not. but 1 tb hd is more than enough for me and i seldom use laptop speakers, more often i use headphone

Y is it dissapointing? dont forget that the g55 is still a strong laptop..but yeah, if you got more $, buy the g75, if got bugjet like me. Then the g55 is still a good gaming laptop

It is still a good gaming laptop. Cause i might be using this laptop for many years to come (maybe 4-5years?) to do my architectural works. So i wont be upgrading anytime soon. A SSD upgrade will be very useful to me, I'll be doing alot of multitasking on my laptop. And i know many will ask me to get a desktop instead, but i wont be staying at home most of the time. I'm staying outside, and sometimes i'll have to overnight in my school studio to do my projects. So a laptop will have to do for now, just for the conveniency. And also, cause im still a student, i cant afford/dont need a Precision laptop to do my works yet. And they're too expensive  biggrin.gif so a gaming laptop is what closest to my needs now (aside from the occasion gaming)  tongue.gif
well, guess i just have live with it then. I think it'll be sufficient enough. Also, like you, i dont mind the subwoofer. I'm getting a headphone soon, and will be getting more headphones in the future. Set my eye on this AiAiAi Tma-1 headphone already tongue.gif currently saving up for that.

edit: and cannot wait longer for a laptop anymore. Need one asap, cause i need to work on my portfolio and im starting my uni soon. Wouldnt mind the G75 really, i kinda like it more than the G55.

G75 will come later than the g55 in malaysia

well that was good call to the asus hotline..

1. g55vw HAS officially released in Malaysia.
2. he suggested me to wait until the ivy bridge cpu to be released, the asus product guide has the laptop name, and the shops has this laptop.
3. he said it wont be long until reviews come in, stock flow in, and experienced reviewers make reviews about this laptop..
4. no subwoofer and only 1 hd bay.
5. he stressed that i wait until the asus authorised reseller(shops) sell this laptop.
6. even he is not sure of the laptop performance coz no reviews.
7.he took my contact no and said he will contact when asus has released this laptop to whole of malaysia( very soon)
8. also he ask to check the asus malaysia facebook page.

this is all i can sum up from the 5 min conversation with asus malaysia.Im definitely waiting for it to arrive at shops that is asus authorised resellers(in front my taman got 3 shops). so it is up to you guys, whether you want to take the risk or not..it is like buying a preorder car, you wont know the performance, quality.risky.

and he also told me one more thing..since g55 has been officially released in malaysia, so you can buy from online resellers..totally safe.the question mark here is the performance and the quality of the laptop itself.to prove it, check the asus rog forum., got so many people having problems with the g75 in usa.

thank you.and it is all in your hands smile.gif


Added on May 7, 2012, 10:26 amoh yea, One more major thing, 2nd batch stock is arriving in large numbers..soon, according to him la..i dont know..i will wait for the 2nd stock la..
