Asus G750 Officially Announced

5kg or 11lbs is darn heavy. Heavier than the G73JH and G75VW at 9.5lbs. It's heavier than the Alienware M17x R3/R4 at 10lbs.

 

Well I think i'm switching back to the G750 after all lol. My GT60 is a beast with the 780M. But its a hot running machine unless you use a notebook cooler. And its got its own positives and negatives like any...

My thread about my issues: http://forum.notebookreview.com/msi/719029-official-msi-gt60-2od-owners-lounge-120.html#post9291320

I will have a G750jx tomorrow, so will compare the two and make a choice. I do realize that I prefer cooler and quieter over more GPU power that brings heat issues and annoying fan noise. Well it did in My GT60 with the 780M

 

JH is a paper launch. Very annoying, having to sit and wait months for it to show up, and then perhaps only for selected markets. Apple gets it right. Simple tiered model system that cannot cause confusion with regards to specs/features, and with world wild availability usually next day or within 2 weeks after a launch. But of course, they will never offer gaming laptops...

 

Hi everyone, just registed here since my g750jx arrived today. Sadly I'm super disappointed with the quality of the display...and I'm not sure if that is "NORMAL" or the whole thing really looks that ugly. It is hard to explain, but it looks like a super thing layer of glittering dust is laying above the display that makes an area with the same color "shimmer" appear to have slightly differently colored pixels when looking at it. At first I thought maybe its a display setting, but I checked everything, resolution is ok, Hz too, its an CMO1720 panel, like it should have been. But when I look at the screen, especially on those evenly colored rectangles in win8, I feel like puking.

Here is a pic, shot with a pretty good canon:


You can clearly see these interlacing like looking horizontal lines, and the rectangle has slightly different colors. Thats not from the canon making the photo, it really looks like that ..... anyone else can confirm that this is (NOT) normal ??
If this is the "high screen quality" that was mentioned in several tests, then I'm either spoiled or I clearly have to wait for the 120Hz models ... On the other side, I have a 5 year old tft here and also an 7 year old glossy surface tft, none is showing anything like that. Even my 14" laptop at work doesnt have such a bad look...

please tell me this is a defect tft and not the normal look :/

 

Would it be stupid to get the G750JX for photo and video editing? I've had my eye on the Lenovo W series for awhile but have since come across this machine and read some good things. I plan to use Cinema 4D, Photoshop, Premier, After Effects etc.

 

As I just learned, the CMO1720 panel that is build in the G750 is a super matte ...GRAINY AS HELL screen. I'll send my g750 back, I cant look at this screen for longer than 5 min without feeling that I'm bending something in my head. You cant do anything with colors on this one in my oppinion. It might be very good for gaming, but thats it, no photoshop and nothing with graphics. I havent bought a notebook in years, but this is somewhat a big letdown. Also the responsetime/input lag is clearly beyond 8-10ms, this is what we build into a 2000€ notebook these days ?

 

I totally agree. I will probably get the JH version if it is possible for me to get it shipped to The Netherlands and if it comes out before the end of august. Otherwise, I will probably go for the Alienware 17 with the same specs. Too bad I have to pay ~€500 more for that one, just because it has the Alienware brand...

 

Why I like Asus's dual fan cooling...Even if I can't clean the fans..



My poor MSI GT60 just cooks itself almost. If I used the vacuum cleaner turbo fan mode it would be about 10 degrees less maybe. Infact I will test that now.

 

Wow 95 C, what benchmark are you using ? How does it compare to GT70, GT60 and G750JX?

 

You probably have a bad paste job, send it back. This seems to be an issue with these laptops.

 

I'm not completely sure, but I think that AMD graphics cards are a lot better suited for video editing and things like Photoshop. I might be wrong though, you better check.

 

holy crap, those temps are unbelievable. at max load, my G750 is 25-30 degrees cooler than that. I know the 780m is a lot more powerful, but even the cpu temps are through the roof.

 

Hey guys! Just registered to ask a few of you laptop pro's some questions regarding this series of laptops.... I wan't to know if its really worth the wait, or the extra money for the 780m Model, or if i should bite the bullet and get the ASUS G750JX 770M model.

I'm a league of legends streamer that constantly has over 1,000 viewers over on twitch.tv and i need a laptop that i can stream at 1080p while receiving high frame-rates on max settings.. now i know that LoL is not an intensive game but adding on HD streaming takes its toll. I also wouldn't mind being able to run some of the newer games coming out (bf4/new CoD's) etc.

Please tell me some pros and cons and what you think i should invest in. Also how much more expensive will the 780 version be? thanks!

 

Also - i was hoping to purchase 2x 256GB Samsung 840 Pro's and run RAID 0.. how would i go about this? And would they support TRIM?

 

You have to remember that my Gt60 has one larger fan. Not dual and also has a thermal bridge so heat from the GPU will effect the CPU temps. The 780M is a powerful one put out a lot of heat. I have a G750JX coming tomorrow and interested in seeing first hand the difference in the cards and cooling.

Does the 770M overclock much?

Install them, and in the bios set raid0. Then install OS/recovery etc. As long as your running the latest Intel RST drivers you'll have trim. I'm thinking of doing the same, it will be crazy fast. One 840 pro is quick, two in raid0..very fast.. Remember to make backups as if one drive has issues you loose all.

 

I believe the 765 would be enough for your streaming and LoL gaming, but for some newer games, the 780m is a big improvement to the 770 and 765. It's about 20-30% faster then the 770, but it's a bit thicker (because the 780 runs hotter), it's about 400 euros more, and ot doesn't come out until late August. Check some benchmarks of the three GPUs online. I was planing on waiting for the 780m model myself, but decided to go for the 770m, because I've had it with waiting, and with the price difference, I'll be able to upgrade my laptop a year sooner.

Oh, and as for the SSDs, only the 780m model has 2 mSATA slots and one SATA. The JX and JW only have 2 SATA slots (if I'm not mistaken).

 

My 5-6 year old el cheapo desktop GPU could run LoL at max settings and 1680x1050 like butter, so I'm sure a 765m will be more than enough for it at 1080p.

 

Just got my G750 JX yesterday! Will be doing an unboxing and review shortly

 

is there room for 2x SSD?

 

400€ more is not correct. At least not correct for germany. You can preorder the G750jh with 8gb Ram and 256Gb SDD + 1TB HDD for 1999€ (i already did ).

The G750jx with the same Spec is 1799€ in germany. So a difference of 200€. Even if you buy without SDD (1599€ and buy a 256GB SDD for yourself (~150€ its only 250€ difference. And that is imo worth to wait.

it has two 2.5" drive bays, so yes, you can fit two SSDs but nothing else.

 

I'm 90% sure that the GPU has no effect whatsoever on streaming performance. The 770m should easily max LoL, and unless you are transcoding on the fly, the CPU shouldn't be a problem either. Basically, there should be no appreciable difference between the JX and JH for that sort of task.

 

Yes 2 x 2.5" bays so you could put two of the same spec SSD there and run them in raid0 for improved speed.

 

you can add 2 ssds to it., I am planning to do the same

 

But then you can't have a normal HDD, because the JX and JW only have 2 bays. With the JH model you can have 2 SSDs and a normal HDD. Just in case it isn't clear.

 

Raiding SSD is a total waste of money.

 

G750JX arrived today, first impressions are good. Been playing with it for a little after clean install on SSD.

• Its nice and slim. Compared to my Gt60.
• Its heavy, but its not THAT heavy
• Very cool running and good fan noise levels. Max fan speed is not offensive. CPU idles around 38 degrees. On my MSI its about 54 degrees idle
• The 770M is a little better than I thought. But not a patch on the 780M of course.
• No keyboard flex
• Good touchpad
• Very good screen.
• NO faults on arrival, unlike my MSI GT60...

I will do some overclocking and see how much I can push this 770M

 

You can't beat the palmrest. Only Macbook unibody design would beat it. And due to how the whole upper chassis is designed (A whole piece of aluminum), no flex, yeah,

Edit: Also the first version of HP Envy with unibody would beat G750's palmrest.

 

as a first gen HP envy owner, I'm mostly happier with the g750's palm rest. the brushed finish attracts more fingerprints than the envy's, but the front edge of the laptop is a bit less sharp and the surface stays much cooler. also, the envy is made of painted magnesium alloy and the paint has very visibly faded to show the darker metal underneath where my palms always rest. I really hope the g750 won't develop aesthetic damage on the palmrest over the years.

 

Its a good palmrest. What are peoples clocks on the 770M?

Ram doesn't seem to like being overclocked much, I have 135+ core and 220+ ram clocks so far about 58xx 3d mark 11

 

Um, guys it looks like my hypebeasting has brought some pie!

G750JH MANUAL! Enjoy! :thumbsup:

Awesome find! Seems the doubled fans (bottom half for intake, top half for exhaust) are pretty huge. Also, now I have a tiny bit of hope thet even the JH version will come out in my country (The Netherlands), because they have a Dutch manual. Or is that common, to make manuals in many languages and not sell the laptops there?

 

There was contest for asus g750jh in facebook they said next they gona say who won. So maybe they gona release it in early august ?is was asus se contest only.

Ok maxed the 770M best I can do is P5863 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-4700HQ,ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. G750JX
Not bad I guess for a 770M?

 

Is that with the stock clock limits?

 

Yes stock limits, I don't think there is a modded vbios yet for higher than 135+ on the core for the 770M. It could do it for sure. The memory doesn't like to clock too high. But the core is fine. Temps are good. 68 degrees c max

I got P5900 here: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-4700HQ,ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. G750JX
135+ core and 225+ Mhz memory. I think with a unlocked bios, it could make over 6k ...

 

Oh easily I expect especially with the temps being so good.

 

So, which one are you keeping, Hendrickson?

 

Any battery life tests?

Picked up a G750JX three nights ago. The first two nights the sound worked fine and I didn't notice anything weird during Dota2. Today though, whenever characters like Lich or Sven would talk, there would be a weird, low quality fart-like noise in the background that distorted the sound and made the audio really unbearable. Turned off the internal subwoofers from the audio menu and this seems to have gotten rid of it. My question is is this just by design or is there something wrong with my laptop and I should take it back for a refund/exchange? I'm no audiophile so I don't really know anything about subwoofers and how they're supposed to sound but what came out of it was unpleasant.

 

Manual talks about BIOS. I thought everything had moved on to UEFI?

 

I think i'm leaning towards the G750 over my GT60. The Asus has superior cooling and build quality. Its fans often completely stop when surfing and doing basic tasks. Making it silent. Keyboard is better. MY MSI is a loud, hot beast of a machine.

The only thing the MSI has really for me personally now is a much stronger GPU of course being able to run everything in ultra and better sound. I'm just testing now if the 770M can run my games I play with decent enough settings. (I don't really game much, but use a pc more for my work)

One issue I had was it seemed the sub wasn't working. Sound was awful and flat. I reinstall the latest drivers and now its going! What a difference. Maybe some people that said the sound was bad the sub was doing nothing?

In regards to one users comments about the screen. It does have a certain sparkly look to it at some angles with the heavy anti glare coating it has. I think 95% of people won't mind it. When the brightness is 50% you notice it sparkle more a bit. Hard to describe. Still its a good display. Much better than what My G74 had back in the day.

 

Yes there is room for 2X SSD but what i've learnt from this thread is that there are no mSata SSD slots for the JX model

 

You do know that running games in ultra means a little to laptops, don't you?

Laptops even at 17 inch screen has a small display. Playing games at ultra means turning on AA and such that has little meanings to such a small display. I have a 27 inch monitor myself and I know I must use AA or equivalent on it but on laptops, it has no visible affect unless you put a magnifier on it, and AA is one of the most resource heavy process.
Furthermore, due to smaller displays of laptops, you can sacrifice a little bit of texture quality and you won't notice much of a difference.

I shake my head when people want to turn on AA on laptops especially when it's 15inch and below.

 

Err no of course not , im not talking about ultra settings on 1080p or at 17". I have a 27" 2560 x 1440p Asus B278Q monitor I'm driving 90% of the time. I use the Asus G750 as a second monitor too.

I can play Chivalry max settings in 1440p with no lag, the 770M can keep my FPS on large maps with 24 ppl plus to a nice steady 50 fps or so average. The 780M handles 2560 x 1440p better of course but 50 ish FPS is fine with me.

Also I found out that the RAM is not overclock friendly. Max the GPU clock, but the RAM only likes about 70 Mhz more. Specially when gaming at 1440p.

RAM overclocking does next to nothing here. Still with 135+ core and 70+ to the ram I can manager P57xx 3dmark 11. Decent enough for me. Unlike my GT60, not one BSOD. MSI is BSOD'ing all the damn time when I use the USB ports.

 

My laptop travels with me for work, but when I'm at hope it's often hooked up to my 46'' tv. I imagine there are many who use external monitors a fair amount when gaming, meaning those settings are equally important between desktop and laptop users is such cases.

 

Laptop GPU, even the top dog 780m, is just about on par with desktop 760. If you are going to hook up on a second monitor of such a size, you might as well build a small rig seeing the price difference between 770m and 780m is massive, big enough to justify a small mini itx rig that can be carried around with a decent GPU that's better than 780m.

Having built numerous mini-itx gaming rig, one can be built that is smaller than G750 in volume.

 

By the way my subwoofer's vibration is causing certain parts of the laptop to shake and cause noticeable sound. It sounds as if the hard drive bays are rattling, would like to know are you guys getting this problem as well when your volume is above 50%? If no means my unit is having some lose components

 

I cant imagine bringing a mini itx rig, monitor, and associated cables on a plane or to a hotel. A laptop, even a large one such as the g750, remains the most mobile option for gaming.

 

My sub will vibrate a little if I play an insane bass track at 100% Normally I hear no vibrations. Try turning it down, maybe its amp is boosting it too much?

Exactly, a laptop is portable. Even if its a heavy slab of a machine like this G750


Some one asked about battery life. Low brightness and Wifi on. Windows reports 5 hrs:45 minutes. This is with a 840 Pro. With my vertex 4 it was about 5hrs15minutes. I guess we can expect 4-5 hours ?
