    Keyboard is okish, problem is it's relatively small and cramped eventhough there is PLENTY of freaking room. The main problem is the trackpad, which is disastrous IMO relative to the G752vw i used from Ivy Bridge 3+ years ago. It doesn't have a dedicated button for left and right click which is annoying, and it's positioning leaves much to be desired. Also battery life so far seems even worse than i imagined and somehow worse than previous versions.. Getting 2ish hours for non heavy loads just web browsing, but perhaps it gets better with the brightness turned down alot..

    I hardly even press the corners of my all in one touch pad anymore, it's always one finger tap for left click and two finger tap for right click.

    I am having a problem of some sorts with my gl75vw and would greatly appreciate any help. For me the fan/fans keep starting up every 15 seconds or so for about 1-2 seconds, then they stop. Rinse and Repeat Ad nauseam. If any one can give me tips how to solve this problem i'd really appreciate it. Not only is the sound annoying (albeit the constant on and off is not loud or sustained) but I'm also worried that it may affect the longevity of my laptop, and i've already had problems with my previous Asus G75 Ivy Bridge that ultimately became devastating.

    Really appreciate it!
