ASUS G75VX G75VX-BHI7N09 17.3-Inch Laptop Review

I've always thought to myself that the ROG Notebook line was always built a lot larger than it should be. Although this notebook comes across as over-sized and bulky, it truly does make up for it in performance, thermals, and build quality.

I won't lie, this thing is a monster. There is simply no way around it. If you plan on lugging this thing around frequently, I'd seriously recommend either physical training, or a good Laptop Backpack. I do both, and the Slappa Matrix allows this behemoth to fit, although quite snugly. I will say, I was surprised at how small the power brick was, I expected a significantly larger brick. Those of you worried about the power supply being proportionately large shouldn't worry too much. I would imagine the reduction in size is due to the Kepler based GPU, which requires less power than its Fermi GPU cousins (more on that later).

The build quality and design are quite optimal and are what I expect from a premium ROG branded laptop. Everything seems to be well mounted, or fastened down and that glue or adhesive use is at a relative minimum compared to other laptops. This machine look like it will stand up well in the long-haul as well as moderate abuse, but in the end, only time will tell. I will say, I am not as worried about wear and tear with the G75 as I was with my previous M17X R3. My previous R3 had a considerable amount of glue and adhesive and over time, due to the heat from the CPU/GPU (and despite significantly lower temps after re-pasting) several parts of the trim began to peel and pull away, not what I had expected from a "premium," brand laptop. Like I said, time will tell and I plan on updating this review with any problems I come across.

One of two Major Complaints I have against the Laptop is the lack of End-User customization or maintenance. Without completely tearing the G75 apart, you are limited to swapping out hard drives (there are two easily accesible bays), and RAM. You could tear it down to install an mSata SSD, change the wireless card, or access the other two RAM slots, but you would only do so knowing that your warranty is void and that you know exactly what you are doing. On the other side of the coin, I understand why the motherboard and the layout is the way it is. With that said, in my opinion, the percentage of performance gained from upgrading most likely does not merit the cost of a CPU or GPU upgrade.

My Other major complaint rests with windows 8 and the lack of recovery options. I knew going into this the 1TB HDD was a measly 5400 RPM. Completely unsatisfactory for any gaming laptop. I had pulled my 512GB SSD from my previous R3 and planned to use that and install/restore Windows 8. This was a unique learning experience to say the least. After exhausting many options, from cloning partitions to tweaking partition tables using GParted from a Linux Live USB, I even considered ordering the OS disc from ASUS, but I ended up installing Windows 7 on the SSD and using the drivers from the G75VW. Thus far, I have had no problems.

I am pleased with the keyboard and the spacious trackpad. I think the white lighting is a good, neutral touch. I like the idea of different color lighting schemes, but don't believe it to be at all necessary. The keyboard itself is nice to type on (for a laptop), and shows very little flex towards the center. The trackpad is quite large and accommodates multi-touch as well, making for quick zoom-in and out functions. With Windows 8 this feature seemed almost a requirement without a touchscreen. The wrist-rest is stout and feels as if it were made of a high grade ABS type plastic. There is also a soft-touch type texture applied and seems as if it would hold up well in the long-haul to wear and tear.

Performance and thermal testing. I am impressed with the performance of thislaptop (for the time being). Not only can the 3630QM hit 3.4GHz on one core during turbo, but it can maintain load at more than optimal temperatures. Same goes for the GTX 670MX. Even while gaming for extended periods, the fans are nearly inaudible. Borderlands 2 with Ultra Settings, I get an average of 49 FPS. Skyrim on Ultra I see an average of 40 FPS. Hitman Absolution I can only take it to high settings and my frames are generally 34 FPS. In Far Cry 3, I usually see 46 FPS with high settings. All are played in 1080p using the Nvidia 314.07 Drivers. During stress testing, The GPU's temperature maxed out at 68C in furmark for thirty minutes, while the CPU maxed out with 82C in Prime95 for thirty minutes. While gaming, I have not seen higher than 62C on the GPU, and 73C on the CPU. Personally, i'd like to see temperatures after re-pasting the thermal compound, but I don't plan on doing that for several months as I'd like to keep my warranty.

Despite the bulkiness of the G75VX, I appreciate the trade-off received in performance and cooler temperatures. It is also nice to see the new Kepler based 670MX. It may not be a 675MX or 680M, but I understand the compromise of speed, energy efficiency and temperature. Not to mention I need some reason to go back to my desktop every so often. As of now, I highly recommend the G75VX over an Alienware or Clevo-based mobile gaming platform.
