Asus g75 gaming laptop. Opinions and discussions.

[ravenflu]

So I'm looking to buy the stated laptop around January. I want to see your opinions about this laptop and perhaps comparisons to some of the newer gaming laptops.

Should I expect the Asus g75 to be outshined by newer models from different manufacturers by January?

which g75 model are you thinking of  buying

[ravenflu]

I haven't got to the point to decide which model but I'm hoping this thread will help me decide.

Perhaps a model close to G75VW-NS72.

the G75 (ivy bridge based) laptops have cons  that they still didnt address

i would recommend waiting for the haswell based G75 laptops

Im sure many people will hate me for this but for laptops i really like the dell xps series.

yah haswell's are very nice on laptops

My old G74-SXA1 was nice if that means anything to you. No real complaints about it. Served me well for a long time.

Is it certain for the g75series to get Haswell cpus? And do you think it would happen before January?

Living without a laptop for the past two months is pulling my balls and I'd such waiting beyond Jan.

And the g75 has been quite appealing throughout.

@ravenflu The Asus ROG laptop series are pretty much the only laptop I'd recommend for gaming. They have had Haswell versions available since the launch of mobile Haswell chipsets. This is one of their highest end models, otherwise, Google "Asus G750".

With the 500 dollar price difference between their G750jx and G750jh do you think the bit of extra specs is worth it?

get a lenovo y510p, haswell system, much smaller and slightly cheaper

[clementk]

if you really want to game on it make sure you get the best GPU for the price. if you want NVidia get 780m or 770m or like 675MX or 680MX (MX are really good overclocker because they are Desktop GPU undeclocked and put in laptops "what i have heard dont quote me on this " and i dont know the radeon side of things with laptops . and look at laptops like Clevo/sager as wel they are really good for gaming and have good cooling.or MSI. but i you want to play BF4 of like 40+ on ultra you will need a realy good GPU.Just check my signature and i payed $1300 and got Kova+ and Sota Mousepad with it

The 780M is quite a lot faster than the 770M in certain benchmarks and ALL games. Look at those benchmarks and see if 500$ is worth it for you. Personally, if I were looking for a gaming laptop, I would pay the difference.
