Asus G750 Officially Announced

What scares me is the new sound system - not a word about it in preview. If asus will again use same third speaker, instead of real sub- woofer, like they did in G75 - I am araghere.

 

I guess ASUS decided since the 750s’ processors are not user serviceable they should go ahead and use a BGA mount and make CPU upgrading void.

 

As I check XoticPC's website, they're showing the G750JH as CPU upgradable. ASUS G750JH-DB71 | XOTIC PC - 17.3" ASUS Custom Gaming Laptop

 

Maybe the Pre-samples are different from the final-production on CPU?
i hope so

 

Not only upgradeable,they are MQ rather HQ

 

Hope the later CPUs are MQ rather than HQ, but the current processors are HQ.

Yeah,however i'm still willing to believe only pre-sample will use HQ

 

What is the difference between MQ and HQ? Is one a sample chip?

 

MQ is 47W with Intel HD 4600 Graphics, HQ is a 57W processors with Intel 5200 HD Graphics, however, the Intel graphics wasn't enable on Asus G750.

All Asus G750 are mass production with HQ CPUs.

 

As far as i know,CPUs installed in BGA can ONLY support up to 2 SODIMMS RAM,If that, how can it be 24GB RAM IN 3 SODIMMS?
If the final module IS truely BGA,maybe i'll return to my clevo to have a P375SM Though in fact i do not wanna do this

 

Just to let you know the MSI GT60/GT70 use aluminum on the lid and palmrest not plastic, definetly not cheap looking.

 

My only gripe with the G60/G70 is that there so damn thick I heard some really good things about MSI but I got the chance to use on of there G70 series at Micro Center and I could not believe how thick they were

 

G750 is the best looking next gen gaming laptop on the market IMO...Anyone know what version the standard LCD screen is?

 

Still not up on amazon or Newegg but the new msi models are there

 

Yeah it looks pretty nice. I just wish it was as good looking as my G50VT. Speaking of which I wonder what the next gen 15" Asus gaming laptop will be.


Anybody know if this G750 can handle 57W CPUs? Since Haswell doesn't offer much, a high clocked CPU upgrade years after purchasing (or now if you are rich) would be ideal, though I've heard it's difficult to upgrade the CPU in these laptops. According to Xotic it'll handle the 4930MX which is 3GHZ+.
Guess we first have to find out if these laptops use ball grid CPUs or not, if Xotic is accurate.

They don't support Optimus? That's stupid. I'm sure Nvidia's GPUs are super power efficient at idle these days but still.
Oh from the preproduction review on notebookcheck, it doesn't use Optimus because that requires the HDMI port to be tied into the integrated graphics, but then you don't have 3D because Optimus doesn't support 3D yet. So I guess Asus does have their reasons. ~30watts at idle is respectably efficient but you could probably cut that down to 20w with optimus.

 

Someone said a few pages they aren't making any more 15 inch gseries? Not sure if true or not...

 

Asus G750 3D spotted at Computex. (Wonder if it has the GTX 780M?)

 

Beautiful. Definitely aluminum in the way it shines

 

OMG. MSI G60 2od. The. End. 780m, WITH Nvidia OPTIMUS less than 8 pounds, 15.6". 3xSSD in RAID!!! + mechanical drive slot & Cooler Boost to keep laptop stable with overclocking and long term longevity. versus 2xSSD in RAID for Asus G750 and no 15.6" option, no Optimus and more weight and no fan control.
You can't beat that customizable LED backlit keyboard. OK I have no more interest in Asus gaming laptops besides my beloved G50vt. See ya

 

So hq is much more better and more expensive Cpu. However better only with optimus??

Msi gt70 uses mq right? Would be good if it was hq.



Additionally I am sick why Asus generally removes something from previous versions like a panel where we can open and clean the fans! Additionally G series are getting louder in terms of fan noise instead of getting more silent...

 

Hmmm if the battery life is that good without optimus, it might actually have been worth it for the 3D. I have a G55 and watch 3D movies and games quite a bit. 4 hour battery life is damn good.

 

It's weird - on the Asus ROG website, for this image, they say "The new G750 with 4th Gen Core i7, Nvidia GTX 765M/780M and Leap Motion!"

Does it really contain Leap Motion? That would make it a definite purchase of me quite honestly....

 

With flimsy keyboard? No thanks!

 

Shut up and take my money! ;]

 

Yeah Just like with Intel and AMD making their chipsets and CPUs super efficient, able to downclock/shut off portions of the chips without impacting performance. Makes sense that Nvidia can make their top end GPU take very little power when at idle. So the importance of shutting off the powerful GPU completely might have little impact but still beneficial no doubt. Hopefully Optimus will have 3d support soon

Has a 'Steelseries' keyboard if that's any different from what you've experienced.
There is 1 limitation of the gt60-2od 15.6" or gt70-2od 17"; The 180w AC adapter is slightly undersized for the laptop and so it has to grab power from the battery when you overclock and run everything @ 100% via their 'Hybrid Power' system.
Doesn't make sense why they did that instead of just using a 220w AC adapter.
What's the AC adapter on the G750?

PS: 780m BIOS hack is in the works so you can modify the core voltage. http://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=148273.650
Wondering if you can overclock the CPU in the G750 via Throttlestop by boosting TDP beyond spec?

EDIT; The G750 comes with a 180W AC adapter, the same as the MSI, has the same CPU and GPU

 

First time to know LeapMotion,but it looks really cool.Does it means that we DO just need a LeapMotion instead of a touch screen?

 

I don't see why not - I mean, why not be able to use the leap motion for touchscreen kind of stuff? Imagine Civ5 with the LM? Even for browsing and simple use, it looks really useful, and it's a nice bonus.

GentechPC, can you confirm or deny this? Possibly contact ASUS about it?

 

What i want to know: is it the USB bundled one or integrated into the design. (please be integrated!)

 

That's what I'm hoping. (and Assuming!) It seems they (Leap Motion) have a similar deal with HP, and that deal specifically says it will be bundled, but eventually integrated. (This was in April 2013)

The same type of deal was announced by Asus in January 2013 and says "bundled", but I'm hoping that due to the time they've had, they could integrate it in. Here's the Leap Motion Press Release from the Deal.

 

Really hope，that would be nice all the time with it

 

I guess not, but you can use it with the home computer also.

Too bad its not black brushed aluminum to match.

 

any cheap bestbuy model with 780m?/

 

2500 dollars became 2500 euros??

Looking at the back of the G750JH, I think its safe to say the GTX780m has a 122w tdp. G750JH - Notebooks & Ultrabooks - ASUS

 

Dollars does tend to go to euros, partly because of tax.

 

Do you mean that in USA tax are lower than in Europe?
Isn't this notebook imported from Taiwan?

I'm expecting 2000 Euros for a G750-780m, Asus were never cheap in the mobile gaming area to begin with, having the price of a MSI+680M for a 660MX...

 

I can confirm it does not have LeapMotion.

 

That's odd, because here it specifically mentions "Select G750 notebooks will come bundled with Leap Motion hand gesture hardware." along with these images..

Well, here's hoping I can find one with the bundle. Could you contact Asus directly and ask what models come with Leap Motion?

 

Well, been looking around at all the new models, and as much of a huge ASUS "G" series fan that I am (LOVE my g46 and the G73 before!), I can't see buying the G750 over the new MSI GT60/GT70... I was pricing out a few models and can get a nice MSI with same cpu/780m+Optimus for significantly less... Wish Asus was a bit more in line on price, and as much as I love the chassis/style, I just can't see paying $500+ more for the same hardware. Curious to see some real hands on reviews of the G750 though still, along with when the actual 780m versions will be available.

Plus I really wish Asus would sell barebone machines... that's another huge plus for other manufacturers for those of us that upgrade often. Very glad to see they are finally including a top tier GPU, but they must also include some better options in configurations.

Still excited about the future, just not their initial offering :thumbsup:

 

Weird because we have the pic I posted earlier and this from Asus website: "Beyond power, G750's touchpad and Leap Motion technology combine with Windows 8 touch and gesture controls, allowing you to fully explore Windows 8 hands-on right on your gaming notebook."

Maybe they are going to integrate instead?

 

I'm also looking at MSI because of the price, but the thing is, the looks are gaudy at best, and the build is mostly plastic, as well as being thick and cheap-looking.. It honestly looks like it was designed by a 3rd grader... Because of those things, I can't see myself buying one, they just.. urgh, those looks.

 

I'm with you 100% on looks, and I've got a g46 which I LOVE the design of which is the same as the g750... I just can't justify looks being worth so much more. I think MSI has better speakers, and way betterr bang for buck... looks only go so far, but I'm hoping a better 780m Asus sku pops up:thumbsup:

 

ASUS: High prices, bizarre SKUS, hard to customize and maintain, questionable customer service and warranty, respectable build quality, design, and cooling.
MSI: Questionable design and chassis quality. lots of features and gimmicks, best bang-for-the-buck, easy to service and maintain, good customer service with unimpressive warranty
Clevo/Sager: Low prices, easy to service and maintain, most customization options, good customer service with unimpressive warranty
Samsung: No comment.





Alienware: ???

One would think that a vendor can combine all of the above advantages and avoid the disadvantages (except for high prices, I suppose).

 

I think if you don't need a notebook right now, definitely wait because the DB71 SKUs are missing great features like: wireless AC, 3D 120hz screen, and Leap Motion.

I would bet in the next month the prices will be: JW ~(Best Buy $1,200- 1,400/1,500 = AC,LM) JX ~($1,600- 1,800/2,000 =AC,LM) JH ~($2,100- 2,500/3,000 = AC,LM,3D)

Some random info for the JH; there is still no manual available. That leads me to believe they are hiding the bottom because it is now user upgrade-able. (A little thicker and bigger vents)

We will see. ;]

 

I would also add that Asus is considerably quieter than its competition, which is a big plus for some.

 

MSI won't get any more of my money anytime soon. They were 1 and done with me. I am okay with 6 good months out of a laptop but the MSI was engineered to break. Great performance while it worked though. Samsung was built the nicest but about as buggy as it gets and very slow. Asus is my fail safe brand so far. I am looking forward to the new one. I am not a fan of the aluminum top though.

 

Can someone post BIOS screenshots of this laptop?
Does anybody know if the BIOS sets "Lock Bits" that prevent software like Throttlestop from modifying certain MSR register(s) to boost TDP, multiplier, voltage, etc settings?
If so, is there someone trying to mod the BIOS to leave these lock bits unset?

Also, since this laptop has a 180W AC adapter, and the 7800m is at least 100w if not 122w and more if overclocked (Sven's modded BIOS is in the works), and then if you try to put in an Extreme chip, will the AC adapter allow you to overdrive itself or will it cut power? More importantly, will the laptop cut power? If not but the AC adapter does, you can easily get an aftermarket 19.5V adapter that's 220W or so, wire the correct tip size and now you don't have the power limitation.
This is the case with my G50VT, though battery charging will not occur if power draw is over spec.

The MSI has 'hybrid power' that dips into the battery and also has a 180w AC adapter so an aftermarket AC adapter there would do no good since you can't shut off Hybrid Power I don't think.

@post below me, someone should put a kill-a-watt meter inline to the G750 and take power measurements of;
furmark with CPU idle
GPU idle with Prime 95
furmark + Prime95
playing a game
Show wattage measured and then we can approximate 85% PSU efficiency so *0.85 is actual power to the laptop. Then we know how close we are to 180w at stock. Keep in mind even if the laptop's only taking say 160 watts when gaming, that still means the AC adapter is limiting if you want to charge the battery and would be worse with absolute full utilization (furmark/prime95).

 

A 180W adapter can give about 200 or a little more in the real scene.for most situation it would be enough

 

I think it is already getting quite louder:/
