    GT72 if you want to upgrade some day, G751 if you want the max performance with lowest thermals.. Aorus if you want Raw power..

    Im thinking about buying asus or msi as well. First time i was with msi, now slowly slowly im getting to the asus brand. BUT! If i take the g751 will i be able to upgrade after 2-3 years to the most-up-to-date gpu? I know u cant predict, but if the real20nm maxwell comes out? Or pascal? Just because the architecture is different it doesnt mean it wont fit in the notebook, right?

    With the G751 did they change how to access the fans to clean? Cause the g750 was a nightmare!

    +10000.. I can confirm this.. My G73JH ran super cool... hell I regret getting this AW because the cooling system is noisy and still heat up like nothing.. My next laptop will be Asus.... The upward facing vents on the Asus laptops definetly help with this cooling unlike the downard facing AW ones...

    Nop if it's in the right hand, you can find instruction on youtube and do it yourself. It's harder to do than most other laptops, but not that hard.

    For Aorus I would wait until reviews before dropping 3k on a < 1inch form factor laptop that claims it cools down 2 gtx 970m's and 1 haswell cpu using only 2 fans.. If this is true, it would be revolutionary, fingers crossed!
