Asus G750 Officially Announced

It sports the G46 design and will be equipped with Haswell and also up to the Nvidia GTX 780M.

YouTube

 

Weird naming of the model and the video and the narrator sounded a lil corny. Should have named it G76 instead of adding 0 after G75.

Only good news about it if it is true is the use of gtx 780m.

 

The video is already made private, but was supposedly uploaded by the Australian ROG department. I have been waiting for the next generation G7x series for a while now (why choose G750, btw?), because my G71 is definitely in need of a replacement. I really hope, that they offer the 780m, that would be great, I would have no problem with shelling out a bit more, to get that kind of performance! So, how much do you guys think that version is going to cost?

Same here. I'm very interested to know how soon these will be sold (in Europe). I am looking for a replacement of my G73JH and was looking at the G75 as a nice successor. But if this doesn't take long to get in store, I would consider waiting a couple of months with my purchase.

 

Yeah, it would mean that Asus finally decided to get back in the game of top end GPUs, not that I'm going to get another G series since I've been hooked to mobile workstations, but if the pricing is right, it would make for a great alternative to Clevos and Alienwares. Hopefully, Asus will miraculously decide to use a reference MXM board design for their GPUs too.

 

The video is private but I extracted some frames from the video by doing some sneaky tricks to the youtube server...

Its real. Asus is finally ready to step in to the top league. GTX 780M coming to Asus. This is so awesome. GTX 780M completely crush everything thats out there :hi2:
For 780M benchmarks, see this thread: http://forum.notebookreview.com/gaming-software-graphics-cards/718021-i-m-upgrading-you-gtx-780m-review-inside.htmlæ

BTW, GTX 670MX which Asus feature previously got NOTHING on GTX 780M. Its day and night difference. Everyone should upgrade.

 

Fingers crossed! Fingers crossed!

 

Finally. Good news for Asus and for us, too!

 

Blasphemy! in the words of the Ancient Siamese cat manual, thou shall feed thy cat with golden bowl and asus shall not have high end gpus nor it shall posses or use a standard. Tis written, Tis true

 

Well, didn't get to see the video, but will be watching this closely... I LOVE the design of my G46... will be curious how this develops, especially if the 780m is an affordable option and properly cooled.

 

properly cooled = no doubt
affordable = keep dreaming with asus ^^

 

Ahhhh, welcome back to top end gpu's Asus, we've missed you since the 5870m launch

 

Let's hope they put a great sound system on these up and coming g series machines.

 

There was tons of people who complained about Asus stupid choice to include GTX 670MX instead of 675MX, plus voiced our opinions about why Asus can`t include the top end GPUs and proudly boast the "republic of gamers" they cherish so much. I had a few discussions with Asus engineers at the Asus forums, but they couldn`t give me a straight answer to their strategy.

So I guess they might have listened to their fans this time around

 

G750 with have GTX765M GTX770M and GTX780M, but GTX765M and 770M will be release first.

 

Any word on a price?

 

And any idea on how long we will have to wait for the one with the 780m? If they improve the sound quality (they own the xonar sound cards line for crying out loud), this may well be my dream machine. I love the brushed aluminium on the palmrest, it adds so much to the laptop!

Here are some pics, that I have found, great design!

Aren't those pictures the G46?

 

They went with the design of the G46 which is in my opinion superior. Notice the keypad, that the 14" notebook has no room for.

Yep, that's what I'm excited to see about the G750... it looks just like a big G46, which I absolutely LOVE! It's an improvement across the board from the G73-75, and I liked those designs too. G46 is super solid and feels great... hoping the G750 follows suit.

Now it just comes down to price ha... we shall see.

 

Can`t wait til you guys put out preorders

 

I'll put out mine as soon as it's announced.

im really glad asus is back in town, more competition and options? count me in

 

What size is this exactly? by naming it sound like 17, but then there is the 5 and then comment say it look like a G46.

 

It is a 17 inch laptop with a chassis built with design and material like the G46.

 

Have local store that is selling it....well taking in orders as it says the store will get it on the 04.06.2013.

Specs are:
ASUS Gaming G750JX-CV040H 17.3" FHD 3D 1920x1080 LED Backlight Glare, Intel Core i7-4700HQ, nVidia GTX770MX 3GB, 16GB DDR3, 1TB 7200 rpm +256GB SSD Cashe, Blu Ray Combo, WLAN 802.11b/g/n + Bluetooth 4.0, Win8 / Eng/Rus keyboard, 3D Glasses

Price: 1 849.00 €

Would be nice if they did it with the 780m. and proper MXM. Would sell my M17 in a heartbeat

 

Someone said earlier, that the 780m version will come a bit later, so I'm waiting for that one. And preferably without the 3D screen, I hope that it's am option. So that will probably cost around 2000 euros? 150 eur extra for the GPU upgrade? And I hope that the SSD will really be 256 GB!

More like 400-600 euro extra. Its strange here AW with 660m can get under 2000 euro but 680 and you are looking at about 2500 euro. But will have to wait for the asus´s 780m rig

 

This is going to be a huge fail if Asus decides to put buggy and crappy sound system on their heaviest and biggest gaming laptop. I mean other laptops that weighs half the G75 has better speaker and sound card and if Asus cheaps out again on the speaker and sound quality then Sigh....

So let's hope Asus smartens up and put great sound quality on the up and coming G750. If Alienware with Klispch and soundblaster recon can do it, if MSI with dynaaudio can do it, Asus should also do it and not use the excuse of because their laptops are more affordable and cheaper that means they would put low end crappy sound on their high end laptops.

 

More photos of the G750:

 

OMG, thanks. It looks really cool. Looks like brushed aluminum on the palmrest too.
EDIT: The whole palmrest + around the keyboard looks like brushed aluminum. I`m impressed
Also look at the power button. Funky stuff

 

WHOA I might seriously be going ASUS. For years I've said if they put a high-end GPU in a sleek design, I'd buy in an instant. Well they've called my bluff. Never thought I'd be able to say that. It's a really beautiful machine, and with a GTX 780M, oh my.

I post on a forum where just recently a ton of people have been lamenting there not being an aesthetically well designed laptop with powerful GPU option. They're going to go nuts over this news. If it's priced well, it'll be a hit.

Wow. The speakers can't suck though.

 

You`ve been talking about buying a new computer now since forever on this forum. Maybe its time you do it this time? That 6970M is ancient history dude

 

Yeah it's true, I've been having to spend my laptop money on other things again and again. But I'm buying this year, for sure. Being a formerly staunch Clevo first guy, I'm just weighing all of the contenders for the first time. Clevo is falling behind the times and I may need to move on, so I have to find a good $2k home. I was pretty set on the next MSI GT70, until a few minutes ago.

 

Do you guys think that this laptop is going to be lighter than the current 17 inch ones? And do you think ASUS might make a G55 refresh?

 

I have the GT70. The keyboard is beyond every notebook keyboard I have ever used. So good. The sound both from the speakers and the headphones is superb. It is really a good notebook.
But I also have my eye on this G750 just like you .)

 

I wonder if they give the customer a choice of choosing not to have an optical drive?

I think ASUS does include a Thunderbolt port along with USB 3.0 ports correct?

I have to admit I have seen some decent options of the 17 inch + notebook on that Gentech site

 

It could be faux, brushed aluminum-like plastic like on the G46VW. Still felt extremely solid, though, when I tried out the G46 at Best Buy, with the added benefit of being cleanable unlike real brushed aluminum.

 

No 15 inch high-end graphics love?

 

One strange thing...the speaker grill where it used to be located...is nowhere in those pictures.
Perhaps its the one located underneath the laptop?

 

The G46 isn't aluminum? I read a interview with it's designer and he said:

Tony: As you may have seen on the N and Zenbook series, these started the trend for large aluminum panels for every major face. This is now the design language and fashion across ASUS Design Team. We want to keep a consistent identity across ASUS products and have brand recognition because we take pride in all our designs.

This suggests, that it's indeed aluminium? But I have never seen a G46 in person, so I can't be sure. Can't wait for this laptop to come out!

I'd venture a guess that its like the g46 and speakers are located behind the screen at the base. The subwoofer is what you see on the bottom.

Also, it looks like aluminum to me, and on my g46 it is not plastic... the case is plastic but the keyboard panel is aluminum or an exact copy judging by feel and looks.

 

So the G750 is initially going to be released with the 770M/MX? Personally I'd only consider buying the 780M version of this beast. If anyone has concrete dates and prices on the 780M version post it up! I will get rid of my G73 the second I know the price and release date of THAT version.

 

G46VW palmrest is made of aluminum.

To quote Notebookcheck`s review of G46

From Asus interview:

We don`t have exact dates but models with GTX 770M = June. Models with GTX 780M = July
I strongly suggest waiting for GTX 780M since its miles ahead of 770M.

 

You can tell by the way it stains and how easy it is to clean whether it is indeed real brushed aluminum or plastic that just looks like brushed aluminum. My Lenovo has a brushed aluminum palmrest and palm sweat stains/streaks tend to sit there and are very difficult to remove. When I tried out the G46 at Best Buy I poked and prodded and got the impression that it was plastic. If that's true, they faked the look and feel really well. I could definitely see it fooling a lot of people.

 

Aluminium is not magnetic. Why would Asus go to all the trouble of faking aluminium, it's not THAT expensive? And it adds a LOT to the premium feel of a product. It would be quite a shame if they use some plastic instead. Okay, so I have until July to get my financial affairs in order! So I'm thinking the G750 with the 780m and a SSD, and preferably without the 3D screen, and some 5-year extended warranty (it's something a local dealer offers) will cost me around 2200-2500 euros. Not cheap, but damn, do I want it! If the sound turns out to be okay.

 

Do you see that Notebookcheck picture of the G46 palmrest posted above? That is clearly plastic as real brushed aluminum is not opaque white around the edges like that. I have no idea why ASUS chose not to use real aluminum. Perhaps easier to clean or weight savings?

 

That must be the glare on that picture you are seeing as I can vouch there is no "opaque white" edge on the top plate... I have a G46, and would bet money it's aluminum, and yes, I've completely dissasembled the machine more than a few times for upgrades and seen both sides... it looks like aluminum, it acts just like aluminum temperature wise, feels like aluminum.... it is harder than the plastic beside it, as during dissasembly you must slide a tool to separate the top plate from the bottom case, and the bottom case nicks if not careful where as the top plate does not. And, as mentioned, aluminum isn't ridiculously expensive, is light weight (airplanes are built out of the stuff), and is a nice feature. Handle it a bit and you'll see its not plastic. The pics don't do it justice.

EDIT: reread previous posts, maybe the finish has you confused? It isn't just a brushed raw finish, it is anodized or something similar in black, and hasn't stained or discolored at all on my g46... maybe a nice topcoat or something was applied, no idea, but it's proven very durable and I'm sure G750 will be the same. It holds up WAY better than the palmrest of my previous G73.

 

It's nice to see asus step up, if they get a nice balance of performance, quality and noise on this one it could make a good alternative.

 

Im looking forward to this model. Hope someone uploads the video as well
