4 slots. the one ure looking at the HDD bay is the user-accessible slot. there is another 2 slot on the other side of the 2 ram slot ure looking at which needs u to pry open the g55 . won't void ur warranty since the sticker is only on the heatsink screw~


--

anyways. i look lenovo came out with something new ( i just realized ) and it's a variation of GT755M SLI, GTX860M and also R9 275M~ woah =.=" asus dead or what. come out with a refresh of g55 ~ g56? with GTx 860M? must be nice

Already retired can play old games or new games with medium to low settings nia haha. Class also already drop lei. Not class 1 but 2 . Sad

Seems legit. Price for g55 when it came out is that that current g56 price. Expensive. As usual lenovo came out with something more daring but at cheaper price. Setback might be the heat.

seems legit also~ lol. coz even can pre-order or order it already .. cost is AUD 3425 approx RM10.2k~ lol. amazing price.

U getting that is already like buying bmw 5 series of car. Haha. Not yet ferrari lambo that stuff la need 20k++ for that haha

true true... they should go for lower price instead of premium price since ~ well alot

on par with AW price minus the premium service? lol. i believe MSI is way cheaper also. that price is AW price~ or nearly on par. let's say AW abit ex. but there is more than just the specs~ lol.

haha. since i don't have any AW's in my hand and haven't really get the chance to play with one. I believe only the bios differs which in turns affects the boot time~ but don't know la coz stock asus comes with bloatwares and sh*ts~ AW comes with those too? lol

was about to reply to u about u stating something about price is not more than 5k including rog set and stuff~ lol.. then u mention g46. well to be fair there's actually pro and cons between g46 and g55. if i remembered correctly g46 doesn't comes with FHD. also G46 is more tedious to rip apart compared to g55. but alot easier to bring it around, form factor. but yeah g46 is a beast u own one? coz i'd like to add to our owners list. so far only got 1 that reports in~

5k for 880m? where? if yes i'll take it.. disregard all those cannot change proc and gpu~ lol.. 8gb its ok .. can always add.. not a biggy.. even if i have to rip apart..

uh really? lol i thought it comes with 880m and 8gb ram~ lol my bad my bad.. i didn't really see the specs.. =.="

p/s: i'm a genius maybe coz can add ram to gpu ->>>


well from my experience. atleast 15 - 20 mins just to get access to vents, fans and stuff. and lets say take 10 mins to clean up everything then another 20-25 to assemble. so approx 1 hour to do this. and it's a very tedious task =.=" yeah it's a turn off~ and one wrong step, some functions might not work such as the usb port, hdmi and stuff~ =.=" and in order to repaste thermal paste, that is where the seal is

so i'd say they actually don't want people to pry into their laptops except for service centers. But of course some of us did the opposite. although i didn't know anyone apart from G55 users to rip apart their g-series. lol

oh i've read about this before =.=" shit no wonder lol. i think i was browsing through pulse news and came across this. lol.

but i was hoping 8 series is gonna be maxwell but still kepler's . but any time now

already two places i read same specs.. and almost same price. where you all see RM5k?

then let me enter ur dream.. grab that 5k thingy.. and let me out! lol.. coz that's really a steal if it's 5k+ lol.. somemore it comes wtih 256gb SSD x 2~ woohoo thats a raid! lol. i7-4700 is good enough for me.. ram already 32gb.. ~

eh ur dream more powerful leh ~ lol

woah lucky u.. lol. well it's a warning~ don't switch on with underpowered brick~ lol

they will upgrade u? how nice. g750JX . we dont have the JH or JZ

yep that is the full model name that came to malaysia .

no 3D version.. bundle gift don't know. probably just backpack

g750jz is really interesting..

gtx880m
i7-4700
32gb ram
256 ssd x 2

and is not coming to malaysia i suppose. same as g750jh. don't put ur hopes on high.. lol!

now i really wish i'm in ur spot~ haha.. can i change my g55 to g750jx also? then i sell it buy AW~ lol

lets call it change of wind~ lol.

not saying asus product teruk.. or really teruk.. they have decent product but thing is.. apart from specs there is more to it. and the pricing also a let down for me. if i have the $$ for asus why not go straight for something else

MSI also is ok. but why MSI? why don't go illegear? or other brands

ic no wonder lol.

I'm more concern on the design aswell. since i would like to clean up the fans the vents and stuff instead of destroying and putting the laptop into risk everytime i do this~ . they should go for the modern design instead of the conventional thinking.

haha yeah of course~ the current external design i'm satisfied what. simple but elegant. And the newer design for g750 is quite nice too apart from the superb design that doesn't allow us to do the cleaning our selves and of course i believe the new design also comes with the 2 accessible ram slot and another 2 non-user accessible . lawl~ i think they are playing it safe. but too safe already. atleast don't solder the parts. We can do it ourselves. the GPU also follow standard MxM should really help. other than that so far the g55 perform well

yep sort of for g55 alone i've been using it since june 2012. I've lost count of how many times i disassemble my laptop sometimes just to re-paste, or clean the fan or sometimes misconnected something then have to re-do the whole thing~ =.=" and of course add rams to the non-user accessible slot

so basically my estimation time now to:

disassemble g55 : 15 - 20 mins (up to taking out the mobo)
clean fans and stuff : 10 - 15 mins
assemble g55 : 20 - 25 mins

few of us here actually could disassemble the laptop easily since going to service center just for cleaning is too much of a hassle (going to kl is a no no =.=" traffic jams here and there~)

Haha probably they even plan to solder the RAM and the HDD. I think horns mention to me sometime back asus is planning to implement ram disk. probably that ram is soldered? ahaha. most likely eh

They play it not safely la and most of all too convetionally wanted to control everything. wanted their SC to provide with everything when they can't even manage. Just wondering asus warranty is managed by 3rd party right, something like kena contract (i think i've seen this before or read before in previous thread of g-series)

lol. they redesign but hopeless. instead i think they should just replace their top management and replace it with younger generations with fresh ideas also enthusiast probably that could help alot. old doesn't mean it's good but new doesn't confirm its better. but it's better to try something new rather than holding on to the past~
