Asus G750 Officially Announced

Weird, but JH-DB71 seems to have DYNAUDIO on board were JX does not.....oh, and I seriously don't want 24GB of RAM and 2 mSATA SSD's in RAID 0!!!!! What most of us need here is : GTX 780M, 16GB RAM, one HD bay with regular 7.200 or 5.400 RPM HD, and the other one is free. All that in a $2.000 price range and you'll have a winner. Please resellers , figure it out! Thanks

 

Agree.

Asus never enabled Optimus for their G series in the past. the mainboard was reserved for 3D model I guess.

It was typo in our configurator sorry and it was corrected.

the 24GB RAM and 2 mSATA setup was shipped from Asus as a complete package, what we do is custom built from the factory package.

 

So in plain English, does that means - there won't be a lower price option for the JH??????

 

There is only one SKU for G750JH with GTX780M as far as I know of, so yes there won't be a lower price SKU for JH.

 

Thanks , but I don't think I can afford that $500 extra nor will I pay $2.000 for the half way GTX 770M...

 

I believe another reason is to head off the inevitable support requests when ludites try to run the latest games and are not using the powerful GPU. I just hope they learned from the G73 Debacle and do a bit of testing with the 750 before it is released. And lets pray a VBIOS update is not needed to run Video drivers going forward. Personally I would never buy another ASUS. I have done considerable research and Clevo/Sager will be my next choice.
PS . Can anyone find a notebook section here? ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Forum-
IF not for this forum and the outstanding help generously provided by members and retailers such as Ken Lee, Meaker, Pro Star, et al. I would have sold my G73 long ago.

 

Great video! Okay, I'm now even more hyped about this laptop! Btw, can the republic of gamers logo on the back of the lid be dimmed or turned off (is it maybe connected to keyboard brightness)? Not a big issue, I'm just wondering. And what's with the exclusive headphone amp? That sounds good for gaming with a headset, but there is still no info on the audio out there. Well, Optimus would be a bonus for me, but I'm mostly using it while plugged in, so I'll manage to do without it, althought it would come in handy on occasion.

Well I guess I just have to wait and see how much more expensive the JH SKU will be in Europe, cause I can stretch to about 2100 euros. I would have installed two 128GB SSDs anyway as soon as I could (even though I would probably be able to do it a bit cheaper myself), and I don't want a 3D screen, there's just a little bit too much RAM in the build, but I can live with that. I just really want that 780m. So now I wait.

 

Are we sure that there won't be a way to bypass the Asus setting and enable Optimus ourselves? Or is it something at a level too deep for that?

GentechPC, do you know when you will be receiving your models? All xoticpc could tell me was that they'd get theirs within the next few weeks.

 

I am 99% certain OPtimus can not be enabled (I hope I am wrong) but NVidia offers this PowerMizer

 

Currently out a laptop. If I were to order the 750 from xoticpc today when would it ship? Never went through them before but I do need a laptop next week.

 

I think it's better that they don't have Optimus, as I don't have any problems that the wrong gpu is being used. Be realistic....who plays on battery or wishes to carry such a big Laptop all day around anyway? Personally for me everything above 1 hour is fine and it's the last thing that is important to me.

I'm just waiting for the exact price details (configurations) and reviews, but very probably I'm gonna upgrade from my G75 (670M) to the G750 (780M).

 

I'm hoping Best Buy will continue to carry the ROG line. If they do, I'll pick one up once it goes on sale.

 

So basically:
"Asus JH for the really hardcore gamers. 8GB and HDD with GTX 780M. Thats pathetic. Lets go allin with all the components and pack in as much power as possible"

Unless you`re seriously skilled programmer and have a keen eye on soldering really small parts of the motherboard, its a dead end:

Optimus systems have the display connected to the IGP (CPU). When gaming the discrete GPU does all the hard work, it sends the signal to the IGP which send it to the display. When not gaming, the discrete GPU is shut down, but the IGP can still output stuff to the display.

Non Optimus systems have the display connected to the discrete GPU. It doesn`t go through the CPU. Since Optimus is about letting the IGP take over when not gaming, the IGP cannot display anything to the display because the two is not connected

 

im excited for this laptop.

im selling my alienware m18x r1 just for this too haha. hopefully asus doesn't disappoint me.

 

I would wait a bit for reviews to show up. Knowing Asus , we might be in for some rough ride...

 

And why is that..?

 

My HP ENVY 17 3D allows me to decide at any time which GPU I use - it has a program that I open and it allows me to select "High Performance GPU" or "Power Saving GPU" - from my understanding, I can't even do that with the G750?

 

Im selling my m18x regardless. I just need a new laptop. Im sticking to my ty Dell that I use for work for a month or two before buying.

 

One thing - the only thing actually - that comes to mind is the headphone/subwoofer issues following the G75's initial release. That issue has been since hammered out though. I don't really see what could go wrong with this release.

 

Famous last words

That is Optimus. And it allows you to do that because the CPU is wired to the display.
G750 does not have this option. You could however choose power saving mode, and the GTX 780M will downclock pretty far down to output as little heat as possible and save power. But not as far as Optimus which shuts the GPU down

 

The thing is - nothing got fixed . Asus just moved on, pretending that subwoofer thing never happened. Ask me how I know.

 

Found this SKU on an Italian Asus store: G750JX-CV038H

Only has 780M, 16GB RAM, and a 750GB 7200rpm HDD for 1.799,00€.

I'm really hoping this one like this makes it to the US as well!

 

Nice find but wrong specs.
JX have GTX 770M. Only JH have GTX 780M. Atleast thats what I`ve heard.

 

eh? My subwoofer works fine. It just has to be manually adjusted when using the built-in speakers. It also shuts off fine when headphones are plugged in.

 

And it says the GPU only has 3GB of memory. Too bad, because I would have ordered it in a heartbeat otherwise. It's right next to my country (Slovenia) and offers extended warranty for a low price.

 

Hi, I just joined the forum because I'm interested in the highest end version of the G750JH. I have seen a SKU floating around only on Russian sites with 32GB of ram and the 3d 120hz display, so I'm wondering if any one knows anything else about this?

Also, in the promo video the G750 has four vents and 3d emitter. (Is this the crazy JH version?)

As another side note XoticPC lists the G750 with 3.5 hour battery life, if this is true that is awesome!

 

3GB is for the 770M and considering 2GB is enough for the desktop 770 then it will be fine.

 

I just meant that the 780m has 4GB, so that confirms the GPU typo. 4GB is overkill IMO.

To answer my own question: Yes, the Core i7-4700HQ is socket BGA1364. ARK | Intel® Core

Do the G750s' have the Core i7-4700HQ or the Core i7-4700MQ processors because the HQ processors will be a ball grid array permanent mount?

 

Well it's certainly future proof and you may as well with the increased cost of mobile.

 

Thing is, this is an Intel/AMD system I have here. So I guess it's AMD's version of Optimus..

Oh well, seems to be the only bad point of an otherwise great laptop.

 

in order to enable Optimus the HDMI port has to be hard-wired to the Intel HD Graphics, it's not as simple as a BIOS update, it's hardware level.

we are shipping G750JW-DB71 now and Asus USA haven't receive G750JX and G750JH shipment from their oevrseas facility yet, According to Asus the JH may be sometimes between mid July or end of July if production went smoothly.

For G750JX should be arrive around mid June.

 

It should still be enough for 3 hours battery life, so I'm fine - I'd never need power for longer than that really, as I'm almost always near an outlet whenever I use my machine. About the units, that's a shame - I'm looking to buy the JH, but I guess waiting isn't bad either, it gives me time to decide and find the best place to buy from, as well as what to buy in the first place.

I'm most likely going to order from NCIX Canada, as I should save quite a bit on shipping just by having it sent to my local store, as well as not having to be imported from the states in the first place.

 

Is there any news about "G550" ?

 

There won't be a 15.6" G series anymore, only 17.3" for G series.

 

I imagine the 14inch G series will be around for one more generation as well considering how new the model is. I do not think many resellers carried that one though.

 

What about the 14" G series, will thst get updated GPU and CPU?

 

Thanks that's a shame

 

Nothing on the radar yet but with all the 14" models now appearing it should be a haswell/765 combo.

 

Any idea when it will be available on amazon, Newegg, or even bestbuy?

 

I don't know what to do now.. Wlling to pay $1.400-1.500 for 770M or $2.000-2.100 for 780M, but there is no such option with Asus. And since I'm scared of Sager's bulky Army style and just hate MSI's cheap plastic look, the only solution for me at the moment is to wait for BestBuy SKU's and hope for the best.

 

Hahaha, just calculated an estimation of how much the 780m model will cost in the EU based on the 770m model price from Italy (1800 euros). It will be about 3100 dollars. I hate the EU

In Italy the 770m model price has already decreased at 1650 euros, probably your estimation is wrong

Thank god. I'll be able to afford it. Barely. It still comes up to around 2150 euros which translates to 2800 dollars. That's just my estimation btw.

Cheesy as hell, but it gets the point across I'm waiting for some professional reviews before I place my order and then I'm ready to go! This is too much money to throw at something without making sure it works as it should, even though I'm confident that ASUS won't mess this up. Oh, do we have any info on the MXM board? Is it standard?

Notebookcheck just posted G750 preview. Note its the JX model with GTX 770M, but its much better than GTX 670MX which is top card from previous G-series notebooks

this is interesting, it does not have optimus but will still run over 4 hours on battery whilw doing simple tasks like browsing.

 

looks like screen is pretty mediocre, AUO B173HW02 V1. there are reports of flickering for this particular model. hmmm.
