The larger one is the 'older' unit, the shorter one the newer unit.
2015 vs. 2018 design units.
 
Functionally and quality-wise they are on the same level. I think the newer RM750X comes with two 4+4 pin EPS cables.. i think that was a thing.

EDIT: looks like that one vs. two EPS cable thing is true.

Bogus number, to ensure you have more than enough so no one can complain when they try to add this to their 280w LiteOn PSU computer.

it's just to be on the safe side.
 
psu calcs are bogus

Of course that's only at their boost speeds, which they can't hold. The 8550u are a 4 core 8 thread 15 watt chip

Hi!
 
I'm a Finnish/swedish guy who just bought the gs63vr kabylake FHD model (7RF-218NE) and wanted to share my thoughts. It won't go though everything just talk about whats good and bad.
 
The bad:
 
- The trackpad: I can understand why other reviewers have been complaining about the trackpad. The plastic surface feels cheap and cause more traction than glass. The right and left click is also quite stiff which makes one handed use a little bit harder. The elan touchpad software is ok. This is however not an issue that have bothered me yet.
 
- The speakers:
Yes, the speakers don't have any base and the sound can be quite hollow and thin. How bad you ask, well let's put it like this: I would rather listen to music from my galaxy s6 speaker. This bothers me quite a bit if I want to watch movies. I use headphones/speakers when listening to music.  
 
- Killer wirless card
It sucks! Just like every other laptop with a killer wirless card. Why not use a intel one instead...You can't download something at the same time you wan't to surf the web. If you do the internet dies. Removing all apps and programs from killers and reinstalling drivers made it a little better. This bothers me alot.
 
The meh...., that could have been better:
 
- the screen
The IPS sceen that came with this model is the same panel as in the asus strix gl502vs (LG Philips LP156WF6-SPB6, LGD046F) It has good viewing angles but the colours look "dull and dim". I would not recomend this laptop for photo editing. The display is also quite dark, I'm using it on max brightness all the time.
 
- Battery
There are only one option which is a 65 wh 3 cell battery. It's a shame that they don't have an option to pick a larger battery and skipp the HDD. The battery holds for 4.5- 5 hours on battery-/ecomode while surfing the web or watching movies which is ok but not great.
 
The good:
 
- Build quality
The chassi is solid and feels premium. The laptop is very slim and light. I hate the dragon logo tho. No lightbleed. 
 
- Performance
It performs really well however there are no diffrence from skylake models. Stock Firestrike score is 9700. 
 
- Cooling
After undervolting the cpu by 0,120 V and disable turbo boost the CPU never reaches over 70 degrees celcius which is amazing with a laptop this thin. The GPU max out at 78 degrees celcius. This is with fan mode set to auto mode not sport mode and doing 4 firestrike benchmarks in a row and playing H1Z1 for 1,5 hour. They where both reaching up to 85 at stock at sportmode which sounded like a vacuum machine.
 
- Fan sound
At first I was disapointed because of a high pitched sound comming from the CPU fan which made me want to kill myself. But instead of doing so I did the CPU fix above and now I bearly here the cpu fan at all. The gpu fans is quite loud but far from to high and won't bother anyone with headphones. Im suprised how silent it is reading all the negative reviews. The fans is not running at all while surfing the web or watching movies.
 
I'm happy with the laptop even with its drawbacks. I'm amazed how much power there can be in so small of a package. The premium you pay for portability is in my mind worth every penny.
 
Hope this helps someone!
 
Cheers!

No worries, take your time

Yeah you'll probably get it cheaper in america anyway.

Here are some photos I just took.

use common sense. look at heatpipe design. look at components inside. look at reviews. look at historicals. 

back this drive up and keep and eye on those bad sectors
 
300 bad sectors is no joke and you should think about replacing that drive some time soon either way, but if you see that number increasing over a short period of time like 100 new sectors gone bad every other day then you REALLY should get a new drive ASAP. 

Ahhh that makes sense now! So technically in a way, the luckier you are, the more under voltage you can apply to your card while it still performs at the same performance?

i just received mail from Dell because i bought a laptop from them some time ago and they gave me a 10% discount on a 799$ or more dell laptop, use 0P03QQ8703TF85
 
np, hope someone who planned on buying such a laptop can save a few bucks because of me.

Ahh okay okay! So it deosnt' technically mean that the 1060 is a bad card, in this case it's actually better than the 1050 and the 1050ti yeah?

I'm kind of getting tired of seeing this comment pop up time and time again. Not everyone is able to have a desktop. In my case, I travel 5 times a week spending the entire day at a different place and the only viable option is a laptop

Everyone here says stay away from acer lol

I'm not 100% sure about the processor. Ideally, you'll want something with multiple cores and threads. And if I'm correct, the i7-7500u is a low power cpu which isn't the best for video editing.

It does look really nice but sadly way out of my budget so back to square one again I guess
 
Ill be sure to check some reviews of the Aorus.

And for the SSD vs. HDD, the only difference should be your boot time, with minor differences in open-world games.
 
HDDs tend to die long before SSDs, so for lifespan get a SSD.

My SSD is still strong after over two years. They are DEFINITELY worth it, you won't regret it.

Could we please have your budget? Anyway what I would reasonably suggest is this:PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

Here's the same build with a GTX 960 if you want Nvidia. Video editing is not majorly affected by the GPU, and more so by the CPU and RAM.
