Yup.. waiting.
Already on G751JY. lol greedy me. But i had a lemon this time. My G751 have alot of problem, from Motherboard to usb, then to wlan, then to the keyboard. already warranty for 4 times after purchase. Planing to let go as gift to relative and wait for new one. Hopefully asus release some " Beast " early next year. |

QUOTE(jasonsuna1 @ Jun 30 2015, 01:49 PM) Yup.. waiting. Quite unlikely I think. The main reason is that there is no new technology at the moment, i.e. no new generation of the CPU or GPU. Intel Skylake is coming soon although the performance increase would properly be minimal. I believe they will only release an all-out ROG notebook once Pascal is out (where there would be substantial performance jump).Already on G751JY. lol greedy me. But i had a lemon this time.

G501 Are the most beautiful ROG Notebook ever! Thin design with build in dual fan and powerful GTX960 +I7 + IPS screen! Ideal for games and travel and Starbucks showoff.
Most importantly! ASUS G750JX lost the battle with ASUS G501! The moment of silence when GTX960m is faster or equivalence with GTX770m. Tested with various games GTAV, Crysis 3..etc etc. Both in FULL HD. Not 4k. Maybe they should separate the touchpad and the button, it might look classy but i really wanted to smash it when i using it. ( not my notebook btw ) This post has been edited by jasonsuna1: Jun 30 2015, 11:10 PM |

I believe they will only release an all-out ROG notebook once Pascal is out (where there would be substantial performance jump). They will release a refresh with new port like USB type C if its ready or Thunderbolt if its not yet available as current newer mobos trend are supporting USB 3.1 and USB type C, built-in G-Sync and so on.QUOTE(jasonsuna1 @ Jun 30 2015, 02:17 PM) Yes, that's what R&D does, develop and pending for release when the time comes. |

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. |
