Asus G750 Officially Announced

We have to wait and see but asus good at designing their heatsinks. The 780M is a bit of a monster but they make desktop 770 cards so they know what they are dealing with.

 

Okay, so I did some searching and here's what it says about Leap on the official ROG website: "Select G750 notebooks will come bundled with Leap Motion hand gesture hardware." And in the picture underneath it is a G750 with a 2D screen. And it's going to be bundled, so no integration into the laptop. But I think that's a good thing, because that way you can move the Leap reciever anyway you want, and use it in more ways. There are different usage scenarios, depending on where the unit is. And you get to move it away from your computer if need be, so you can use it while connected to a HDTV without having to do all your gestures above the notebook. Oh and Leap motion is scheduled for a July 22nd release, so I doubt it will come bundled with these notebooks before that.

As for someone mentioning that the 780m model will cost 2500 euros in Europe yes, I'm afraid it might be so aswell. I hope that won't be the case and that they bring the prices down a bit, because I'm not giving any more than 2200 euros. But I am still sold on getting this laptop, because it has everything I want and more. Oh and does anyone know if it comes with a backpack? I know the old G series models did, and it was a good thing, because it's hard to find a decent backpack that fits this strange design.

 

2500 euros would be madness, at over 800 euros MORE than the 770 versions...

 

I assume there would be other things included for that.

 

I am sorry if this has been pointed out but my G73 came with a 2 year warranty, from what I read the newer ASUS gaming machines get only 1 year? The advertised 2 year warranty which is actually a 1 year extension of the base warranty is ~ $100 US.

 

Good question, losing the free 2 year GLOBAL warranty would be a deal breaker living outside USA. Even though I didn't have to use the warrantly on my G73JH, it was very reassuring to have while disassembling and repasting etc!

 

It was confirmed with Asus USA that LeapMotion was not included and so is the one I was testing posted on Youtube.

 

In Italy the JX model seems to have the 780M!!

We've been over this a few pages back. The 780m has 4GB of RAM, this one has "just" 3. So it's probably a typo and it's supposed to be a 770m. Although it would be great if it was true. But 2000 euros for the 770m model is ridiculous.

I found also a second place where this model is mentioned: Scheda Prodotto
Also there with a 3GB 780m...

 

Does anybody know if this laptop has a Magnesium Alloy skeleton for strength? Or is it just ABS plastic? Thanks

 

Well I don't know what's up with the Italians, but I wouldn't really trust this site either, since it has a photo of the G75 instead of the G750. I still do hope that you are correct though

Oh, and I have another theory about the Leap motion controller. Since it's not due to be released since late June, it will probably be bundled with some new SKUs, that come out around there. So maybe if the 780m models start rolling out then, we'll be seing them shipped with Leap?

 

as an Italian, I can tell you at least FOUR online shops show the G750 as "coming soon" with a 3GB 780m and 3D display with glasses.
see here and here.
I called three of them and asked if the 780 is correct and isn't actually a 770 and they all said they couldn't confirm it but that is exactly what Asus put on the spec sheet. One rep even said "in twenty years selling their laptops, they never claimed higher specs than the product they actually shipped us". So as an italian, I have high hopes of getting away with a 3D display and a slightly detuned 780m for less than 1700 euros
they should be in stock by the end of next week, so then I will know for sure.

 

Well, I hope that is true! I'll buy it in a heartbeat and install two 128 GB SSDs on my own, and enjoy life.

I really don't think nvidia would let them dilute the 780M like that.

 

Does anyone know witch models that will be avalible in Sweden?

 

Neither do I, which is why the moment I find out it's actually a 770M I will be pulling the trigger on an msi GT60-2OD, which I can get imported with one year global warranty at the same price as the G750jx

 

MSI is junk.

 

Hi to all, i'm italian too and i already buy G750JX from redcoon.it.

I ask asus.it on facebook and speak with call-center about the GTX780M and they both confirmed this video card. Also you can see this on Asus World (which is the official asus italian site for spec's and price for private and retailers users).

The only thing that is not right, since confirmed that it is the 780 and not the 770, it's the VRAM of card: 4GB DDR5 and not 3... so i think an error in the amount of ram reported, at least i hope... :-/

 

hi,you said you have bought G750,so could you please make a report for us after you get it delivered?and you get it by € 1.965,00?another question,could you please make a confirmation that whether the CPU is 4700MQ or 4700HQ?For me the BGA 4700HQ is not an ideal choice,so now i'm dwelling on CLEVO and ASUS.Hope your information can help me make a final choice,thanks

 

Sure bro, i make a report for you,and maybe an Unboxing

No i bought it for 1630€. Cpu should be 4700MQ (with free overclock) as you can see here: ASUS World

 

Need a disassembly. Want to see how this one looks inside, if CPU and GPU is replaceable. And would also like to hear the noise levels. Initial reports says the machine is more noisy than its predecessors, which would be a shame.

 

I absolutely prefer ASUS build quality and design, but the GT60 is almost 1 kg lighter and 1 cm thinner (yes the 750 is a 17 inch but ASUS should have offered a 15 inch option) and if it does turn out that the JX sold in Italy has a 770M it will also be better value for money by far. Not to mention the new GT60 is quite a bit less offensive visually now that they made the bezel matte. All things considered, I'm still hoping ASUS will sway me but as it is I am painfully straddling the fence.

 

Yes a 2880x1620 ips screen is junk. No reason not to like a certain design, no reason to throw out insults either.

 

I say that typo is 780M not the 3GB. For 1900 euro I`m pretty sure its the GTX 770M model

EDIT: It says "JX". "JH" is the model name for the G-series that have GTX 780M.

 

Yes I believe so too.

 

Much thanks!i would like an MQ cpu rather than an HQ cpu considering upgrade in the future

 

This is the version I want right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IK6qMXUJAyA

3d glossy screen + quad vents! ;]

 

The JH version with the GTX 780M.
G750JH - Notebooks & Ultrabooks - ASUS

 

Great，from the STORAGE items,can we assume that we can get G750JH with HDD only?it's my hope

 

I want to know the true weight and thickness of the G750JH, can the guys at GentechPC find out from Asus?

The other models are listed at 9.9lbs and 1.9in thick but the JH looks a bit thicker.

 

Asus is finished. Gt70 runs faster, is lighter, has mq, has better battery lifr and runs quieter.

First, take a look at this; View attachment 97155 an Asus notebook from 2008!

Now we have this; View attachment 97156 View attachment 97157 an MSI notebook from 2013?

Looks like an old Asus copycat if you ask me; no unique design (innovation), (cheap looking) plastic exterior, overdone (loud design), lights everywhere, and brand names all over it?! (no offense).

Now there is this; View attachment 97158 View attachment 97159 a clean notebook that looks like its from 2013, not a "you have to look like this if your a gamer" forced design.

Also, just wait until July when they release the JH with 120hz 3D display, Leap Motion, wireless AC, of which I don't believe the GT70 has.

I believe at least the JH version will run quieter than the GT70 too.

 

Strongly AGREE with you:thumbsup:

MSI is 780 but it still runs quieter and has better battery life

 

Asus and MSI are cool brands and is long time known in the enthusiast market since the early PC building era when it was in its prime.

Remember Asus, MSI, ABIT, Gigabyte, PNY, BFGTech.

So by you saying MSI is crap is disrespectful!

 

May someone explain me why MQ CPU is better than HQ CPU?? With all details.

 

It's not soldered to the MOBO. So with a HQ CPU let's say you wan't to upgrade for whatever reason your screwed.

HQ= soldered = you cannot upgrade
MQ= not soldered = you CAN upgrade

 

The MSI uses brushed aluminum on the lid and palm rest so your plastic exterior point is wrong and it has just as many lights as the G750, on the keyboard and logo on the lid and that's it. Brand names all over it?!? not anymore or less than other laptops have. And yes you can get AC wireless cards with resellers of the MSI.
Opinions of the design vary, what you like someone might not so it's all subjective.
MSI has Ultra HD (UHD) 3K display for the GT60 ( 15.6" version of the GT70 )That is a 2880x1620 display res, better than a 3D option in my opinion.
Leap motion...Ha who cares about that stupid gimmick on a gaming laptop :/
And the new heatsink design runs just about as quiet as G series laptops while keeping temps low.
Look I'm not saying the G750 is bad ( it's great ) but it's far from perfect, the GTX 780M SKU is about $500 more than the MSI ( that's a huge difference for most people ) also you can upgrade hardware with ease on the MSI's something that is never a simple task for G series laptops.
Just saying something is better or worse without getting the facts right is pretty ignorant on your part especially when MSI has some great features like SuperRaid 2, cooler boost 2 , matrix display to use up to 3 monitors at the same time! Still considering my options but I'm not ruling any laptop out and that includes ASUS and MSI , theres good and bad in both.

 

The MSI may have brushed aluminum on the lid and palm rest but look at the flex around the track pad. Plus with all the glossy plastic it looks cheap and nasty. The ASUS is rock solid around the whole chassis and no sign of any glossy cheapness.

3K is not Ultra HD. Ultra HD is 3,840 x 2,160.

Leap motion a stupid gimmick? Have you used it? Not sure how you can say something is a stupid gimmick before any software has been released for it.

$500 more for the ASUS 780M SKU? Try comparing specs. ASUS G750JH-DB71: 24GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD. Closest matched MSI is the GT70 2OD-019US at $2,499.99. I make that $0 difference.

MSIs supposed great features: SuperRAID is close to pointless in real world usage. Cooler Boost provides nothing to shout about over G750 cooling. And Matrix Display really, how many people will want or need to run 4 screens. Looks like you buy right into the MSI marketing BS.

Kind of ironic that you call 777light777 ignorant.

 

Thats all? I ve heard about their gpus as well. One of them 4600 and other one is 5200? 5200 seems better but who cares as long as the notebook doesnt use it.

The biggest plus for Asus is its silence but if it wont be as much as g73, only 3d wont affect me that much... I am curious if It is possible to make raid0 at ssd in asus?

 

Only CPU like 4X50HQ has HD5200,e.g 4950HQ,4850HQ and 4750HQ,the other CPUs with HQ are also equipped with HD4600
Also,the TDP of HQ is 57W rather than 47W for MQ

 

A good summation of my thoughts.

Also, I'm still waiting to see whether MSI will offer a good 3k screen. The MBP's retina display is decent or subpar in all areas except for resolution and viewing angles; a good 3k screen might cost as much as the laptop, and good external monitors will be much cheaper and far superior.

That ignores the resolution's effect on battery life and image clarity on a small screen.

Note: I don't have a problem with high-resolution laptop screens, but MSI's implementation shows that we are "not quite there yet."

 

Why even have a higher resolution then full HD? I have it on my 17" laptop and it's great, I don't see any pixels or anything. It's like with 4K and the full HD smartphones that are poping up everywhere. It's just a marketing move, that the users have no actual benefit from (of you can tell the difference between a 5" 720p and 1080p screen during normal use, you should become a sniper or something). And I'm never going to need more than HD resolution for gaming, since it drops the framerates significantly. Maybe that's just me. I've been looking at the MSI too, but it's waaaaay to thick and I don't like the design. At all. While I find the ASUS extremely sexy. If the reviews for it will be good, there's no question what I'm buying. Oh, and who upgrades their processor? As far as I can tell, most of you guys change notebooks more often than underwear I'm planing on using the laptop for about 4 years and even if I upgrade, the CPU will be the last thing to get upgraded. I'm more worried about the graphics card having being MXM compatible or not. And since ASUS doesn't offer optimus, it doesn't matter which iGPU the Haswell processor has.

 

However G750 seems not easy for customers to upgrade CPU now,4700HQ is soldered on the Motherboard,that means unupgradeable.In fact i can not understand why ASUS make such a choice of HQ CPU

 

BTW,can any guy tell me whether i can choose an upgrade of MQ cpu for G750 during purchasing?

 

I have had a G73 in the past great laptop that is until the rubberized coating starting peeling in spots making it look very " cheap and nasty" The GT70 is pretty solid all around too with no real glossy cheapness like you say, it looks much better in person than in pics.

According to MSI it is!

Yes it's a pretty stupid looking gimick see I just said it, give me a good keyboard and mouse any day and you can have your leap motion

The only SKU that you can get with a GTX 780M is $500 more than what you can get MSI with a GTX 780M.
ASUS forces you to buy extra things that most people don't want or really need, I like to upgrade my own hardware as I see fit and not have to pay for things I probably don't need.How many people really need 24GB of RAM

Maybe to you it is but to me time is money and the less time I have to sit transfering large files for work the better.

Nobody is shouting at anybody just trying to point out the GT70's cooling system works just as well.

I do for work, I run 2-3 screens all the time at work and its glorious.

Not sure why you had to stick your nose into this and puff out your chest when I was just pointing out his wrong points about the features and hardware.
I'm looking at both the G750 and GT70 both have pluses and negatives, I'm keeping an open mind about my next laptop so I like to get the facts straight about my purchases and not use personal taste or preference for facts.Look at the end of the day it's good to have choices and not have to be stuck with one brand, no more no less.

 

So it is only matter with consumption but big probability 5200 is way better than 4600?

 

This is my standpoint too. If it was priced even somewhat competitively I'd jump on a G750 with a 780m, but at $500+ more than an MSI or Sager model with the same performance, and just under a Sager with dual 780ms, it's really a no-go.

 

Have you guys seen this official ROG post abouot the G750? Posted today:

ASUS Introduces the Republic of Gamers G750 Laptop




They say the JH will be available in August due to availability of components and slight differences in the chassis design to accomodate the higher wattage GTX 780M. Also, the JH has the option of having a 3D screen (120hz) as the only one of the 3.
