Nevermind, old news. It was news to me haha. 

 

Apparently A few weeks ago, an ASUS Nordic support representative inadvertently made available an interim build of the NVIDIA graphics driver. This was a mobile driver build (version 346.87) focused at ASUS G751 line of laptops. The driver was pulled shortly but PC Perspective managed to get their hands on a copy of it, and installed it on a ASUS G751 review unit. To everyone's surprise, a 'G-SYNC display connected' system tray notification appeared. It turned out to actually be a functional NVIDIA G-SYNC setup on a laptop.

Old.. But ehh.. Why laptops only? :(..

 

Because laptop users aren't enthusiasts, and enthusiasts are the ones who'll pay silly money for something that could be free.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

When you are paying this much money for a laptop, you are probably a enthusiast :P

Maybe something to do with how laptops are connected - ie not through HDMI/DP etc

WHAT? so somebody buying a £3000 gaming laptop is not an enthusiast ...HAHAHAHA

Not really, or are you saying Apple customers are enthusiasts for example?

 

If they are, they're not that kind of enthusiast. As in, someone who'd care about G-sync if it cost them money.

 

Gaming laptops are nothing but a compromise afterall.

I am an apple customer just as I am somebody who builds custom rigs... am I not an enthusiast? 

 

of course gaming laptops are a compromise, they have to compromise something but doesn't mean users are not entheusiast

Well, I would say the new mac pro is pretty enthusiast. With 2 AMD Workstation cards and a highend xeon, the same way a system with 32GB of RAM a Extreme edition mobile CPU a 980M and a 512GB SSD is pretty enthusiast.
