Don't underestimate the G501 GTX960. Many test has done by asus and obtained very well gaming performance With its device COOL all time.

Because "MSI". lolll

4K is just for some games only, and remember not every GTX960, 970, 980 have the same performance. There are significant different due to manufacturer configuration, Voltage, clock speed and boost speed have been adjusted to meet the design capability.  Don't fool by MSI advertisement, That's to attract kids.

4K are a waste of money for now, you don't need it on laptop.  Save your money, for a desktop monitor. Get SLI Nvidia GTX Titan X and enjoy 200FPS+++ games.  i'm waiting the arrival now.

I see. But I thought the performance is more or less the same. The big different is only the heat ventilation. (We're talking about non-reference right ?) Why I said this is because I see the spec of LeadTek 970 and MSI 970, it is the same.
You're quite rich though, Titan X cost $1k USD+. Yet you want to SLI it. How much will it cost. LOL
Is there a 4k monitor available in the market already ?! with 144hz and IPS panel. I thought the current one is only capped at 48 or 60hz ?

P/S: I envy your pocket. You're so rich
24GB vram ? vram doesn't not stack like that right ?

Ok guys. I have the G551-053 and I have a serious question. What is your total partition space in the laptop? When I open up This PC (formerly known as Computer/My Computer), it shows 372GB for C drive and 537GB for D drive. Well as you know this model is 1TB. And I know enough that 1024GB = 1TB. So may I know if any fellow Asus owners of this model have this amount of space or am I bamboozled out of my money?

The only explanation I can think of is that part of the GBs went into the OS and they don't include that in the calculation of the total space when viewed in This PC.

Any ideas?

Wow. yours is pretty new huh. Thankyou so much honey. Question answered.

Oh I see. Lol.. Maybe that is just him. hahaha
The HDD should be filled with games, if not why get a gaming laptop at first XD

P/S: those *** content can stream though.

Time to stock up some high demanding games XD
Too bad StarCitizen haven't release. It takes 20gb for the test content. Full content about 100gb. haha

5400RPM 1TB, i cant live with it. lol

anyone can help this user to claim his/her laptop back, e.g. providing a better channel so that he/she can communicate further?

it's sad to know that a good product can couple with the lousiest after-sale support in this planet. an official asus service center can cause laptops submitted for repairs to be missing. can you believe that?

hi all. just wanna ask G551JM owner here, this G551JM notebook got msata slot or not? do we have any software to check the slot without open the cover?

Just wanna kind of warn new ROG buyers, DON'T use its given laptop bag and choose one carefully. The zip chips the side corner of your laptop and in turn the laptop's chip will tear a hole in the bag. Now both are damaged. Heart broken.... I know this might seem like a very trivial thing to those rich folks out there, but still it's 4k stuff, and I've owned it barely 1 month and treat it like a baby and this happens.    

The chip is noticeable and cuts, and the red side is also dented in. I have no idea what happened but maybe sitting with the backpack on my back. ARGH!!

Why bother remove battery?  It wont explode or overcharge, notebook nowadays already been carefully engineered, specially Asus.
My 4 years old notebook battery never been removed, still work 4+ hours without AC supply, still in good health and haven't explode. 

probably... but have you look up on the bsod code solution online? Worst come to worst you have to re-install the Asus Power4Gear program.

you misunderstood how power source works. apparently the problem started not after you installed the software, but after you pulled the battery out without powering the machine off.

i use both software too for years, no problem.

There's a chance we'll see less new ROG owners with G551JM retired from Malaysia Market. 

May i get an honest feedback on G501 CN139 on the
-FHD screen (color/pixel/anti-glare quality)
-keyboard area dent if press it harder
-temperature
-game on DOTA2 MAX out ?

Thanks

If you purchase from other country, you only can obtain one year warranty from local asus.  Hopefully not a lemon like me, then it would be perfect.
