Personally, I'd better take G551JW-DM016H over G551JW-DM017H...

Indeed that g551JW with GTX 960m worth the difference. 960m is another level above GTX 950m DDR3 in GL552JX..

Haha high five!

I'm not so sure about the CD-Drive but I think it comes with DVD Drive so that shouldn't be a problem.
Still not sure though!

Thanks for you advice, nik. Very helpful. Hope you're liking your new GL552JX. (:

hey i just bought a g551j and its fine and all but im starting to feel like the bottom right (right hand rest) is a bit warm, even not under heavy load (downloading stuff) . 45 degrees on balanced...is it normal?

very normal. Nothing to worry about, since that is most likely where ur hard disk is located.

I got the G551JW-DM016H as well Happy with it. Although this laptop I'm expecting myself to use it for perhaps a year before I'll change again.

Welcome to G family

I'm planing to upgrade too, but now waiting for newer series.

I had no choice. My old N55 about to die on me. I still have the zenbook UX31E first edition but it's too slow for what I need to do now. Travelling I'll still bring it around

Was using my office Lenovo but less than 3 months now having issues. So need a replace asap I'll stick with Asus next time. Taboo after using asus for so many years and suddenly having bad luck once change to other brands

Then you better stick with Asus. Many are reporting dead MB for lenovo lately. productions issues i think.

How much did you get it for?

3580 from Nic

Asus G series notebook support Kingston HyperX impact 2133 RAM! just brought myself 32GB 8GB x 4 modules

Running like crazy beast on G751, Did some test on Photoshop, 3dmax and games.
40% faster than regular 1600 ram. Good news for those who wish to push their beast to the limits. Will see if any higher options available in the near future.

Seriously?

uh? seriously? the last time i checked there were no differences in daily usage, except for benchmarks. i swapped the ram of my desktop rig from 1600mhz to 2400mhz (ddr3, samsung stock ram to g.skill), 4x 8gb.

what's the exact ram model?

I think the timing is much optimized.

im more curious on the price

Sorry for late reply,This is serious and I've tested myself. of course will be no difference if you use it for Facebook, or browsing. If you use it for workstation or gaming, you will feel the difference. Why buy RM12000 Notebook when G751JY is farrrr more than enough? mPCIE SSD with up to 1490MB/s + 32GB 2133 CL11 RAM and stay COOL AND SILENT ALL THE TIME, GAMING FOR 6 HOURS [ Replay Crysis 3 again ]. Now sadly need to wait for Batman arkham knight PC release, my favorite.

Price you can find at local store, if have stock. Or grab some from Ebay.

The fastest avaiable in the market. and cheaaaap! Aprox. RM1300 for 32GB i got mail from overseas. Still cheap than desktop ram.

so far happy with my g551! got mine for 3930 + 8gb ram (total 12gb ram now). wondering if i overpaid. got the 960m version tho!

GTX960 version are expensive, With RM3930 is a reasonable price. If you want to check whether you overpaid, you can refer to the ASUS Product guide magazine. The selling price usually lower or same with what stated in the magazine. if more than that then... sue the seller.

Oh that's great for you. For some reasons I don't feel significant differences between value and performance rams in my daily usage (mostly tech work with rather intensive tasks, and gaming) That's also why i need cpus running at least 4ghz. To me more ram is more useful. (When my machines don't have enough rams i use servers in lab hehehe they have at least 384gb)

Yeah you definitely don't feel anything in common usage like web browsing lol
