ASUS G752

Any hints on release dates yet?

 

Nothing I have seen leaked yet.

 

Damnit, I need a new laptop...

I'm temped by the G751JY, but I'll try to wait

 

GPU wise it's not changing much, it depends on the other features.

 

"Features" of G751 were so amazing I decided NOT to buy the notebook:
1) SATA II port (3Gb/s) on the 2nd SATA slot,
2) imbalanced sound problem (solved after a long and painful wait),
3) problem with left side USB ports (still here),
4) sound crackling problem (5 threads on ASUS ROG forum and still going strong).

Shark00n, wait and if you see the word "Realtek" just buy something else or be ready to suffer.

 

Thanks man. I'll probably go with the Clevo P771DM. Skylake and a desktop CPU have me convinced.
I'll still wait to check the G752 but if the prices are around the values speculated here then I'm pulling the trigger on the clevo.

 

It's in amazon now pre-order

 

Link?

 

I'm using the app. It wont show in safari.

 

Noice. Prices don't seem too bad. 2600USD for the fully loaded one.
1800USD for the one with 970m and 128GB SSD
2000USD with 256G SSD

If that translated directly to euros I would be one happy camper.

More stuff should come up in the following days

 

Portugal getting ahead of the curve, right on! Already available for ordering in a few stores here. One even has it registered as 'In Stock'

G752VY T7009T
I7 6700HQ
32GB DDR4
1TB 7200 RPM
2 X 256GB SSD RAID0
GTX 980M 8GB
INTEL AC
2320€

 

I just checked out those Amazon models. None of them have the 4K screen, so the much higher prices we've seen elsewhere are probably right.

 

Where did you saw that, only www.mbit.pt, and www.alacartecasa.com , have it on there list, but isn´t available yet, i just call to them, and they don´t have a date on when the notebook will be available.

Where did you saw that?

Thank you

 

regarding release dates in Portugal, a store told me that he only arrives in late November..........
Belgium and Netherlands 6 November. and Irland 6 October........

 

I didn't try alacarte, don't really trust them, but they have it "In stock".
MBit told me it's available for ordering and they would call me again today with release dates.

 

Huuummm i asked them the same, but nothing. But there is one spec. that is annoying me, in the display specs they say "17,3" FHD WV (IPS), 300Nits 72% NTSC", does this means that the HDMI, and Minidisplayport exits wont support PAL systems?

found this one to, http://www.codi-tek.com/Portáteis-Asus/ASUS-G752VY-T7009T-i7-6700HQ-32GB-1TB-512GB-1-P178654.html

i asked them, but they don´t answer, did Mbit told you something?

Thank you my friend

No, MBit ended up not calling me.

I'll probably buy a Clevo so I didn't bother trying them again.

 

Check out everyone, some good news, special 24 hour pre-order for g752 -
AND they are saying Release Date 10/23/15 !!!!

Edit Update: Only problem is.. It looks like Sager/Clevo is a better deal.. Does anyone have any input on choosing what one to go for? Sager vs Asus? Asus Is asking alot for much less hardware.

 

So the G752 with a red exhaust is actually a thing:

ASUS G752VY-RH71 is the cheapest (but not cheap: $2000) GTX 980M model offered in US ASUS store.
(FullHD + G-Sync, i7-6700HQ, 4GB GTX980M, 16GB RAM, 128GB SSD)


Looks like Acer is sending their new Predator laptops out for testing/reviewing. Here is an article about cooling in Acer Predator 17 (G9-791) - it has aluminium propellers. I hope we will see more tests soon.
More articles about Acer G9-791: laptopmedia.com

 

Most advanced cooling solution for Acer models perhaps. Compared to other companies I don't think so, we saw designs like that ages ago.

 

That was an interesting read:
1. The GPU temperatures in full load were extremely low - 68 °C
2. The cooling seems to be better without the additional fan, which is counter-intuitive
3. No mention about the sound level when the laptop is under full load.

If the cooling solution can keep the noise down (at the same level as ASUS) while keeping the GPU at those temps, we have a winner. A red flag for me is the near throttling temps of the CPU when under full load.

 

Thanks for posting the Acer Predator cooling test. I´m a little bit dissappointed by the results, tbh.
The extra fan is pointless, 3*C is isnt worth losing the optical drive. The temperatures get pretty high aswell, and the test doesnt mention how loud the nb gets!
3*C could also be a matter of unprecise results, or also the process of the cooling paste to burn in (and thusly cool better, the cooling paste doesnt perform best right away, it needs some time) .
When i first saw the additional fan, i already was sceptical, as the airflow appeared to be pretty strange for me.
So apparently, the ASUS G Series will still feature the best cooling solution, im pretty sure about that now.
The red exhaust with the orange elements looks very nice. That silver color and orange elements make it look very elegant and nice!

 

I think the point of the removable cooling fan is to keep your palmrest cool, not to further help cpu or gpu cooling.

 

Which the design really should do as standard since everyone else can do it.

 

Everyone else can do it? Except maybe for MSI, Clevo, Gigabyte, Lenovo, etc... Specially over prolonged gaming sessions...

The only laptop I can think of that has this under control is the G751, but that is on a form factor of it's own.

I'm not saying Acer's design is more or less effective but if that fan does a good job keeping the palmrest cool then good for Acer for putting it there!

 

I can think of many notebooks that do it in the manufacturers you mention. It comes down to materials, design and cost restrictions, the g7xx series of course do well because you get what you pay for.

 

I just hope I'll be able to get a decent speck g752vy for £2000 or under, as that's my absolute spending limit. What do you reckon? With it having a g sync and the anti dust cooling I reckon the UK prices will be higher like for like compared to the g751.

I was hoping that also, but its overpriced, you can do much much better for that money. I have changed my mind since I have seen the specs and prices, and I was DEAD SET on getting a g752.

 

What are you looking at getting instead?

I'm waiting until beginning of november for Clevo/Sager/XMG/Mythlogic etc.. all the same company to release there new models, but even there current models are a better deal, which is funny to me.

You seem like your looking for the same thing as me, check out "P870DM a.k.a Rising Phoenix", its just as good a desktop!
Either SLI 980m, or desktop 980 is your choice, man this thing looks like a beast, possibly the best on the market when it comes out, and has a good price.

Not to mention eGPU is soon, so we would be all set for years lol, your talking ultra 4k on some games with a laptop

 

I'm up for a sli 980m or desktop 980 certainly, just didn't hold much hope of finding a laptop with that kind of spec for £2k or less. I really like the look of the MSI GT80 Titan, but £2500 for the Base spec 980m sli is just too much. Daft question, what's an eGPU?

Here, this is the laptop, it will be available on the other websites soon

eGPU = external graphic card

 

OK, now I need to find a reseller in the UK stocking that beast thanks

I'm going with a P770DM instead of the G752. Got tired of waiting and also the price is too much.

I think the P770DM is slightly more balanced than the P870DM, that thing is just beast mode!

 

Just been looking at that one. Looks like the are similar specs other than the gpu? The p770dm-g is a good price. Dread to think how much the p870dm is going to be here in the UK

Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk

 

The P870DM will be way more expensive.

IMO the P770DM-G has a great compromise between size and performance. It has a desktop CPU, mobile 980 GTX and a lot of upgrading potential. And it still is kind of portable. Battery also lasts a while so it's not useless when there's no wall socket.

The P870DM is the desktop replacement. It's huge, heavy, has a 330W power supply, desktop CPU and can come with either 2 x 980M GTX in SLI or the new desktop grade 980 GTX.

You just have to figure out what you want and how much to spend. I think the P770DM is a close equivalent to the G752 while out-performing it by quite a margin for the same price. So I went for that one.

 

I think your right. Only thing with the p770dm-g is the cpu cooling, latest reviews show temps are a bit high with the i7 k. I guess the g752's will be quite a bit lower, due to it having a mobile hq cpu. Altho maybe the p770dm-g could match g751/g752 temps by having a non k version of the i7 fitted instead?

That has been discussed fully in the P750DM (exactly the same laptop only 15'') topic on the Sager forums around here.
-Notebookcheck tests were worse than worse case scenario with up to two stress tests running at the same time, normaly you would see the 6700K at around mid 60ºC while playing games like BF4.
-They didn't turn up the fans, they stayed at 80% while stress testing. 80% fan speed is fine for normal gaming and use but if you are stress testing or overclocking the CPU the Clevo can manually increase the speed (and noise) of the fans to keep up with the heat output.
-You can spec a normal i7 6700 on the Clevo. That one has a TDP of 65W while the 6700K has a TDP of 95W (just by comparison the 6700HQ on the Asus has a 45W TDP). It will run cooler but it wil also throttle a whole lot more. As TDP is a heat output measure and the regular 6700 is rated at 65W it will throttle itself to keep below that limit. The 6700K on the other hand will not start throttling so soon, and the cooling system of the P770DM is supposedly capable of dissipating 100W with no issues. The Asus will run cooler but with a big performance difference also.

I was looking at the Asus because of it's build quality, silence and performance. Those were my 'value points' when choosing a new laptop. This Clevo has good build quality and is pretty silent (although the Asus G751 beats it in both these points, G752 should also) but it's by no means a badly built machine, by the contrary. The cooling system is also very competent and quiet. And it has heaps more performance and upgrade options.

The Asus, on the other hand, might perform a little worse but's it's an awesomely built and planned machine. With good worldwide support and a tried and tested design.
If you end up with a Clevo check out the Reseller Feedback threads at the Sager/Clevo section. Choosing a good, reliable and communicative reseller is key, even if you end up paying a little more, as it makes a big difference if you ever run into any trouble.

 

Thanks for the info. Interesting read, especially the bit about the standard i7 throttling earlier. Didn't realise that was how the whole power rating/cpu temp thing worked. I suppose having a laptop cooler stand could be a handy thing to have as well, just in case. I will wait till the g752vy comes out over here in the UK, just to have a play with it to confirm my suspicion that I will now instead be getting a p770dm-g ;-)

Check out the MSI GT72S also. It has a mobile CPU, good build quality from a reputable builder, cheaper than the G752 and has quite a few upgrade options. Mainly M.2 ports and future graphics card upgrades. I think it will be top 3 on notebookchecks gaming laptop chart. (current #1 is the P770DM )

 

I looked at that one earlier too, I prefer the fan profile of the previous model gt72. I can't remember which review it was I read, but the difference in cpu temp was nearly 10 degrees warmer for the new model, in favour of a slower fan curve to reduce noise emissions. I'm now t so bothered about noise, it's temps I'm more concerned about. Also with the gt72s, you don't seem to get a lot for your money. Not in the UK at least. I think it might have been a hexus review I read. But for £1999 and only getting a 128 GB ssd and I think it said 16 GB of ram is a bit disappointing.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think Clevo is also upgradable, with every part?

 

What you can change depends on the model, most people wont be changing out CPU/GPU so it really depends if that is important to you.

 

I really like the style of the Asus, and the cooling capabilities, but if the p770dm-g has the cooling capabilities of the asus and other things going for it besides, I can't really complain about the style of it compared to the Asus.

I feel the same exact way, I really wonder if the price for the P870 is going to be under 2600 with certain options.

 

Just been looking online, found a couple of similar prices for the g752vy in the UK, around £1750. Just not sure if that's including VAT tho? Anybody else in the UK found a concrete price yet?

Yea Asus has it up for pre-order on there website.

 

On the UK website? I couldn't see it listed?

In the uk you have to list prices with vat.
