raymondtong94, yeah a nice video smile.gif that's the one that was leaked out before the official launch of g750 lol (and made me dig deeper for more specs at that time)!

.. and thanks to tommytan1985 for giving us the clues on their latest pricing, too. still not sure if there is a jh coming to malaysia (it's a very slim hope :/)

JH is a reserved naming when the G series laptop comes with AMD GPU. Refer back to G73JH.

er.. no. you can check the specs at http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/G750JH/

it's nvidia 780m this time.

dem, they used it for nvidia graphic? I don't think Asus is going back to use High-End AMD Graphics anymore.

asus had abandoned ATI after G74. its probably hard to get ATI back into the releases.

AMD bought over ATi.

Basically Asus tried too hard(wasted the extra effort on innovation) , that almost all their g series are difficult to access to certain ram slots,m-sata(g55) and hard disk drive(on g53/73).

Note, I may not be able to list all down. But i did partially teared down my g53 to install the SSD cos its been locked down from front and back.

the default specs of a jw is just the normal 2 sata hdd bays. i think there is something wrong with their options.

No M-Sata slot mentioned on the manual but i think full disassemble should unveil if there is any M-sata slot like the hidden g55.

well i wish i can show you the dialog at here but i cant..cause i forget to remove the HDD at the ODD bay when the win8 is installing at SSD..end up both drive go disaster..now i cant even switch anything on  sad.gif just sent to asus service center they say installing OS for me should be fast..lets just hope is fast..will try it again when i get it back  doh.gif  doh.gif  doh.gif  doh.gif  doh.gif

That's disaster produced from bad mistake. By, right u should be able to identify which drive to install win 8 from the capacity.

I simple don't understand how u can doomed both drives.

Even for my G53, SSD installation I did check which drive is the primary HDD with the stock Win 7 Preinstalled. before installing my SSD.

how much did it cost?

shipping is the killer due to its size. Paid like RM300+ for it. Actual cost around RM200++

edit: uh? weird configurations. there is an external subwoofer for this model?

Yes, proprietary external subwoofer on the left side.

I think they are stress as MSI GE40 is priced cheaper and Gigabyte P34G did rage a good slim notebook war.

I kinda like Gigabyte P34G. Easy access to the fans for cleaning.

i thought asus are proud of their design team. look at that air vent :/ (it's like clevo)

i am also looking for a slim notebook with more juice at later time. (solely for office use only; no gaming) gigabytes and msi are on my list too. now asus is here biggrin.gif

yeah p34g is really easy to maintain. everything (including msata and wifi) are accessible!

And Asus yet to learn their lesson to make fans accessible for maintenance.

Hi, sorry if i asked something irrelevant,
my customer got a used G53SX and he updated the BIOS to the latest version 209.

The update was successful and shut down after 2 seconds, then it never wake up anymore, on batt, on AC or both, it never comes back anymore.

I suspected a bricked BIOS, but i have not much experience in ROG laptop, any ways i can settle this problem?

When i press power on button, no respond at all. The battery is not charging anymore too, no lights even charger plugged in

Hi Former Sis OC Legend, about that the flash drive that you load the bios file is it NTFS or Fat32? iinm, they highly recommend to flash with the drive as Fat32. Seems to me that the board has been killed in the process as you mention battery not charging, even with charger plugged in the laptop wouldn't boot up.

I was not the one who flashed the BIOS, as what my customer told me, he pasted the BIOS in D Drive and using utility built-in in BIOS to flash it, the utility read the ROM file in D drive sweat.gif
I guess this is flashed via NTFS, I would never do like this, I always use thumbdrive.

I called to service centre, they quoted RM550 for this corrupted BIOS, I think they quoted this by changing the motherboard.
Wah, dont say like that, me is no legend, laugh.gif
I don't think a BIOS flashing will kill the board, maybe later i try to dismantle this laptop and remove the CMOS battery see whether it helps or not cry.gif

I got friend who can fix this issue, but I have to confirm it is corrupted BIOS.

Well, as usual No post. Something is wrong with the mainboard. Very Fragile for a laptop.
