I might be a bit biased here, as I’m used to the keyboard on my Lenovo X220 and expect a similar typing experience from all the other laptops i get to test, but the keys seem a bit flimsy and shaky on the G75, like with most other Asus keyboards tried in the past.
However, I did feel like the keyboard was not as good as on the G74. The clip below will tell you a bunch of things about this Asus gaming machine, but you should read the rest of the post as well, there are details in here that weren’t actually included in the clip.īacklit keyboard, but with light bleeding issues Of course, the SSD, the 3D screen, the Blu-ray unit and those 16 GBs of memory don’t come cheap, but the base G75 is going to be decently priced at about $1500, while still offering a quad-core processor and the same Nvidia GTX 670M graphics chip. Once again, this is going to be the top config Asus is offering for their G75 line, at least for the first part of the year.

I got to test the most powerful version of the Asus G75VW, one that’s going for 2000+ bucks in stores. All these while it keeps the parts that were appreciated on the G74SX, like the aggressive design and the matte body and screen.
The new machine brings updated hardware, with Intel Ivy Bridge processors and Nvidia Keplar graphics, plus a couple of improvements and additions to its successor.
This year, I got to play with its successor, the Asus G75SW, the 2012 iteration of the 17.3 inch Asus ROG gaming laptop.Īnd I once again like it a lot. Last year I tested the Asus G74SX and considered it at the time one of the best gaming machines you could get in stores. Asus G75VW review – for sure one of the best 2012 gaming laptops
