good to know well nvidia seems to have cause a few troubles towards its user this past few months. One of the best is GPU brick~ i forgot what version it was but yeah the update did brick a few GPU's lol

yeah u can check our owners list at the front page for owners of g750 and could ask them personally for their reviews on the laptop. Or you could go directly to lowyat plaza as horns has mentioned

imho the g750 will serve it's purpose well for video editing and stuff. The silent cooling system is a plus actually since just in case u need to work in a silent secluded area at times and not being bothered by the sound of fan spinning

our g55 is 15" and is quite heavy to carry around still but i still find it fine for me to move around with it tho . but i think for cooling system a 15" won't be sufficient to handle those high ends perfomance except they implement something new (which might be costly)

i don't think i want to carry any 17" around lol. 15" is fine. But no not 17" waste too much energy just to carry the laptop itself lol.

Haha, each and everytime i plugged in my laptop with others they will be sure be in awe~ some even say if we have thousands of these can start to make house~ the size is very similar already lol!


Few weeks i don't think so maybe few months probably next year there will be a newer model coming out. But we're not so sure ourselves since there are no rumours yet you could check on the forum for sure if some rumours it will fly to us also~ but since the g750 is quite new i think only 2 months? even the jh haven't had any owners or didn't report in here so far or i missed them while i was away.

Horns, i don't think the price of ram is going down anymore~ lol dammit i was waiting and i think i will just buy~ 8GB 1600MHz kingston ram. Should i go buy from the web u mentioned?

another option the way i do it. monitor hooked with HDMI cable~ then from monitor hooked with speaker .. so my monitor now do display(of course) and sound which means i disable VIA sound driver and forget about that lousy stuff~ so now my monitor is my sound driver + razer surround which is awesome. For headphones i go for sony wireless 7.1 (the new version comes with 3.5mm jack and also wireless USB) which i gladly use. abandoning again the lousy driver~ lol.



i see i see.. ah too bad now my laptop left 8gb. my stock 4gb gave to a laptop back at home. coz super slow i also kesian see, after putting it in. really helps.

thanks for missing me lol.!

not sure yet. but so far only rumours come and go saying there is ppl saying but no official owner that buy it in malaysia actually. It's been awhile should be someone who owns it should be should be..



woah 7k? plus? really =.="

yeah i will slowly fill it up before the price shot up like crazy again~ lol

if it's only 7k maybe yeah could consider but i don't think g750jh would be priced only 7k it's 7k++ which for a quiet cooling only and hard maintenance ain't gonna cut it for a gaming laptop. Especially not all ppl buying it will stay in air-cond room 24/7. I don't think i wan't to bring to asus SC every 3 months just to clean up the vents and the fans. Although i've seen what it look like for a laptop staying in air-cond room. It's totally clean compared to my area which is very dusty. =.="

G750JW comes with 765
G750JX comes with 770

I'm pretty sure we have the G750JX variant already u can check our owners list. not sure with G750JW variant although there are rumours for our G750JH which just come and leave as a rumour aswell~

yep there is g750jw

u can check here G750 variant

thanks for confirming. True we only have g750jx so far. jh is just rumours so far and rumours for dont know how long more~

thanks thanks welcome back.. haven't seen u for awhile.. hows ur g75 serving u or did u upgrade already

nope not yet we don't have much g75 or they never report for duty~. i'm no where close to design one i can't even imagine one =.=" my creativity level = 0~ art is not for me lol

In terms of specs, proc, gpu and ram. They are identical. Heck even the screen are identical

The difference i would say is

1) the cooling system (For asus u might realize it's abit quiet compared to AW) Unless you get annoyed easily with sound of fan (and always stay in a secluded area where no aircond no fan at all just stagnant air) or in a very very very room or office yeah you could hear the difference. But rarely happens~ let's say asus wins here

2) the speaker and sound ( asus is well known for sucky sound ) can be seen on our previous G-series and i don't think they improved alot in this areas (correct me if i'm wrong) since i've seen the comparison (on youtube) not for g750 tho. But yeah alienware has better speakers with 7.1 integrated surround support. lets say AW wins here

3) the dvd player. looking at asus they provide with blu-ray multi combo DVD-rw where as AW only comes with super multi drive (i think this one is quite similar to our previous g55 series) well a plus is a plus indeed. so lets say asus wins here

4) the wifi. i'm not so sure what does the g750 comes with. but i'm pretty sure they don't put up with much effort on this also (probably) but looking at AW seems like they already provide with .ac 2 antennae wifi card. So lets say AW wins here

5) finally, warranty + the build itself. First of all, AW is well known for their capability to customize whilst ASUS is so against customization. They even (if i'm not mistaken) soldered both CPU and GPU on their g750 series. This is a drawback imho for gaming laptop enthusiast that prefers to upgrade stuff overtime instead of keep buying new laptop. Other than that ASUS is well known for their very fortified build (u want to disassemble? clean those fans and stuff? ) bring it to asus SC center. Whilst for AW users they can easily access those and clean those fan as they like. only our G75 series has easy access to the fans. In terms of warranty, i think AW does better in this field not saying that ASUS did a bad job but AW so far has better reputation if compared. Some might have better experience at asus SC but alot and alot i've seen has even better experience with AW. AW do have their ups and downs as well but nobody would buy their expensive warranty if they didn't live up to their name and so far people are still buying

For Pricing, I think AW will be quite abit more expensive compared to ASUS because of their premium service. Not that ASUS is dirt cheap either but yeah there will be price differences

p/s: this is my personal opinion. trying hard not to be biased. other's or alot out there might disagree with me but yeah this is my personal opinion based on what i've seen and read around.

Wow awesome nice to know.

Yep wifi card can upgrade to .ac or whatever u want horns did upgrade his (g55 series) to .ac and getting quite an excellent performance. graphic card unlikely. Ours is soldered. not sure yours tho but i think ASUS tend to solder stuff and make it permanent. If i recall correctly the latest flagship g750 series have CPU and GPU soldered. lol. Most likely your g75 has soldered GPU but still can upgrade CPU. it's a good laptop apart from the customization.

edit : so i was wrong after reading a few post, it's not soldered (for g75) but then it might be a customized GPU. I think our G55 also has the same case (although ours was soldered) read around the forum to know more very interesting indeed with some deep insights regarding ROG laptops


here is an interesting thread to read regarding G75 Asus G75 GPU upgrade

lol yeah i tried i tried. Well that's what we call as honest! hahaha.

--

yeah =.=" also even if you could swap it there would not be enough space (the GTX680M) is alot bigger compared to the GTX670M. It would hit the HDD bay or even if u use 1.8"HDD heatsink would need to be customized as GTX680 is taller compared to GTX670M. There are alot of customization hardware work needed and it might still not work as expected (vbios mod is needed) as i've read somewhere that G75 bios only carries 660m and g670m vbios. So yeah there goes

haha and another this is like modding a kancil to run more than 180km/h A HUGE modification is needed~ lol. from what i've read on nbr forums it's like an already impossible task. I've seen alot of people actually are very interested in modding if they are able to. But too bad~ u want upgrade, buy a new laptop.

use 240W power brick but not sure if the mobo can regulate the power~ most probably it would have long term effect or it would be short term as well~ lol. sacrificing a number of components is not ideal~ in many ways lol

he should show that the laptop would POST if by putting in the upgraded GPU. lol that would help! but yeah not possible to reassemble the laptop after such mod.. exactly!

broadcom from AW is .ac it's already in a whole different level. It now all comes down to the router. Atleast you can get yourself an asus .ac router (that cost around MYR800) and pair it with .ac and compare with killer-N wireless that would do the job.

win8 is just a beta test~ stick with win 7 lol.. i guess no need? or like i say~ a few option u can consider lol

go pick the option i gave u. take out battery or speaker or stick it behind your monitor~

try ask asus SC if they have stock. or ask them to order one for you. Other than that i guess have to ask around lyp or buy online.

Because of its high system noise and throttling under full load -< reason ASUS won.

so i was wondering throttling under full load? i guess those 4800MQ is holding back the whole system? or izzit the bios that was not matured. Weird coz they have already similar specs~

and again asus will win the low noise section asus is well known for it's cooling system. If only they are customize friendly but again asus is around 400euros cheaper compared to AW~ those premium really is pricey

Well i'd say all high end laptops are build (even with the best cooling system) meant for cold countries or air conditioned room. of course operating at 70C - 80C are fine but it's not the best. I'm just taking a wild guess, DELL in spore have lower complaints regarding high temp compared to Malaysia that's why they dare to put out 4Ghz OC version there. Who knows, i'm pretty sure they do make statistic on what problem customers in each country will always complain.

True i myself would also consider g750 for the pricing and the cooling system + the design is sleek. I'd be a happy bird if i got one myself~ lol. well of course i would want that JH version which is still by far still rumors~

haven't downloaded it yet. I'll try it out later and let u know how mine goes~ my favorite game is out! if it lags i would die~

horns lend me ur AW if g55 lags~ for me to play ACIV lol!

it's quite normal since u never re-paste thermal before. check out our first page before and after repaste by tonberry_ax . i think he shows the GPU and CPU before and after which is quite impressive mine are sort of abit higher coz haven't re-paste again after quite sometime (busy and lazy) hahaha

yeah good decision. u should repaste before warranty expires. just buy a good thermal paste and ask them to repaste.

haha same la.. my laptop also very dusty.. had to clean the vents every now and then. so lazy ripping apart the laptop =.="

ah i thought everything is there.. but it's somewhere around 73 - 77 C after repaste from 100C .
