    Anyone bought the new G752VS with 120hz IPS screen (and Kabylake)?

    Hi guys, I'm new here. Just in the market for a gaming laptop and I was all set on the MSI GT73VR (with GTX 1070 and 120hz screen) when I noticed a new model of Asus G752VS with 120hz IPS, Kabylake and overlocked 1070.

    Of course, it's around $300 more but I'm willing to increase my budget if the build quality and cooling are good (and screen quality of course!) I'm particularly concerned about heating problems with the increased specs.

    If anyone has bought one of these or has any information about them, I'd very much appreciate it! :)

    Edit: Looks like the screens are 'IPS-type'

    GT73VR is better than the G752VS.

    I've had the G752VS and the overall experience was very poor.

    How is the screen quality and build quality of the GT73VR? Would you recommend it above other 120hz gaming laptops?

    The MSI GT73VR Titan Pro is one of the best laptops I've owned. Just got mine recently from HIDevolution and man, that SteelSeries keyboard it has is the best keyboard I've ever typed on. so is the screen, very vibrant colors and super smooth @ 120hz / 5ms response time

    See:
    Ordered a MSI GT73VR 7RF TITAN PRO-425 from HIDevolution

    whether you go with the ASUS or the MSI, I recommend you go with a good re-seller so they can provide you with better customer service/support as ASUS and MSI support is atrocious but MSI's laptops are awesome. I had many bad experiences with more than 7 ROG laptops in the past so I don't recommend them usually.
