Hi Tech Fanatic out there,
I'm using my ASUS N56V for 5 years, it's i5 with GT650M 8GB Ram, I bought it in 2012, from Low Yat Plaza 3 days right after its new launching. It's pretty cool lappy I got, my very first laptop, never bring me any problem in these 5 years time of using, zero manufacturing problem, wonderful audio quality, not to say when plug in the Sonic bass, the ambience in-room are fantastic. Bought it for watching movie and some gaming were my first intent.
I'm FPS offline gamer most of the time, playing DOTA2 as well, got no problem for the Dota2 in my ASUS baby so far, can play Crysis2, FarCry2, Battlefield2, COD 11-Bad Company(Amazing isn't), and etc...
However I'm going to buy myself a new laptop since it's 5y/o, and I'm eager into Crysis3, COD 12 and so on...
So now into the main topic, I'm fancy only for ASUS ROG, not into MSi because of its bulky, bold-black ไป่ๅ look, ILLEGEAR... maybe, the Illegear S5X looks acceptable with the GTX1070(MAX-Q, ETA in mid Aug).
I searched for so many dealer i.e. Laz*d*, jalan11 and the price are crazy, over RM10k, so I wander into Amazon.us and found out the ROG G752-series are couple thousands ringgit cheaper than us in MY, some open-box unit not even over RM8k. (USD1399-1599)
My wonder is, ASUS bought from Amazon got Global Warranty or not? Stupid question it is because as far I know-- No.
Some G752VS might about the same price as we are here, range RM10,600 to RM11,000, however its specs are marvelous: https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-ROG-G752VS-XB78...ywords=ASUS+ROG
So what do you guys thinking about this? Few problem came into my thinking are:
1. Is ROG G752-series worth it?
2. What do you guys think to buy from Amazon and get it deliver to MY or SG? Some said just use EziPos, however EziPos consist of numerous charges not to say the 6% GST
3. Is the vapor chamber cooler's performance are solid in the G752, or it's just a gimmick?
4. Why is there STRIX version in ROG family, should I get a slimmer STRIX?
5. Warranty and peace-of-mind issue if buy from Amazon?
What I love about the ROG G-7 series:
1. I love its copper aluminium and space design, the red-fire butts...AMBOI! (it is really that stunning red? Because I saw the real model and it's just orange, or any setting to turn on the red)
2. The side lining on the dashboard part, the spaceship design, the edge of the ROG logo on the right side
3. The customizable key(M1-M5) on the top-left make over looks pro
Any criticize are acceptable as it may brought me stop thinking about the pricey stuff and save my money.
Sorry guys, I'm just a wonder-baby , when I go shop, stars are just came into my consideration and calculation, and this pricy laptop... will cost me 2-3 months of my saving.
Many thanks!
