For ASUS G751JY owners or any heavy gaming laptop.

[aDham_zO]

Hey guys, 

 

 

i was looking for a gaming laptop and i travel a lot and i have seen a lot of thin laptops from msi gs60 ghost to the most bullky like the G751  

and i have seen that when ever they go VS each other the bulky laptops win in heat and peformence obvisly. 

 

and as i said i'm a huge traveler and travel a lot with my parents and i need a gmaing laptop :I 

 

but i wanna get the asus one but i'm afraid that it will be too heavy i think it's 4 kg or 4.5 kg i can't remeber atm. 

 

any way i wanna ask you should i get an thin laptop and game on the go with heat and noise or should i get a much heaveier gaming laptop (not just the asus one any one that will be good just tell me what you have ) ?
 

and what gaming laptop your rocking i wanna know and does the weight bothers you ?  

 

thanks guys

My Lenovo y50-70 weights 2.5KG and it doesn't bother me.

Personally I think gaming laptops are like the most useless things ever. A good one is really heavy, have short battery life and doesn't even give good performance for its price. Maybe the Razer Blade series will suffice, it's light enough to not break your back

get a box thats about as big as a Laptop, fill itup until its about 5KG heavy, use it for one day

great idea accually  

Thanks Dude

It all depends on what you want. A 960m will most certainly run all your games no problem, it all comes down on whether you MUST max them out at all costs or if you just want to play them.

8 gigs ram

 

No game uses more.

but still the storage proplem idk how i'm gonna play games. 

you wouldn't play of an 90 m/s external hard drive

games would be slow.

Its good enough for games like CS:GO or league etc. Why would u play large games that take up a lot of space on a laptop

Grab a Y50 or Y700 or HP Omen if you have more cash and want portability

860M/960M (same core) is indeed more than capable of running any single game at 45fps average

HP Omen - 2.1kg, half an inch thick, 1500$

That's a lot when an Asus G551VW with a 960m and 6700HQ costs ~$1100. And stuff is generally more expensive here. Mind you that's a limited offer, usually it is $1200. Still.

The issue is, the G551 has a thermal lock on the GPU at 74*C resulting in unplayable framerates in 90% of games.

Also - plastic build that folds like cardboard.

First time hearing that. Even my 850m doesn't get that high, and my N550 doesn't have the best cooling. Hell I've never seen a laptop GPU get that high. As far as I can remember. Quite tired atm so maybe I can't remember it. Don't see an issue on notebookcheck with the N551VW and throttling, and those 2 are not so much different. 

Mind giving me your source? I'm interested in how they got that info.

N550 has 2 fans and 2 heatsinks

N551 has a different Bios

G550 has 2 fans and 2 heatsinks

G551 has a single fan and single aluminium heatsink with a shared heat channel and crappy Bios

GL552 which has a better bios and the same cooling has the CPU max out at 96 and GPU at 84

My CPU goes to around 86 and GPU to 74 and I have 2 fans and a large copper heatsink.

N551 has 1 fan that blows on the left side afaik, same as G551. But I'd still like your source for throttling in 90% of the games. I just find it hard to believe. Feel free to prove me wrong.  :lol:

What about msi gaming notebooks? They have some nice ones you can get.
