    Hello.

    So I was about to purchase a brand new sealed ASUS from an online seller, the box however is kinda different from most of the box and unboxing videos that I saw for the model ASUS G750JZ.

    I find this one quite odd...there is no picture of the laptop and its missing unlike the other packaging: http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/packaging.jpg

    Here is the picture.

    Is this legit?

    Hmm...

    Maybe the picture is on the backside?
    Or the packaging is from an older revision?

    Difficult to say. I didn't find any packaging fotos in the internet which looked like this (but then again, who makes photos of the package). Only Asus might know... Hopefully some representant can post in here

    Hopefully.

    Edit:

    Seller said it's on the other side of the box.

    Still need confirmation though.

    You can ask him to provide a pic of the other side.

    I did check our stock and the G750 do have a computer on both sides, but there were other models like the G771 that only had it on one side. You can also ask him to provide a pic of the sticker that has the UPC and Model number etc on it, if you are very concerned.
