00:00:07,319 --> 00:00:14,360
welcome to my unboxing of a super exciting product I've had quite a few

2
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:24,119
requests to take a look at this guy this is the g75 V more specifically is the as

3
00:00:18,039 --> 00:00:27,640
g75 VW v3g m-18

4
00:00:24,119 --> 00:00:30,119
13-1 basically this is the ASUS g75 this

5
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:34,800
is their next Generation Ivy Bridge gaming notebook which not only has Next

6
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:42,320
Generation ivybridge processing behind the CPU it also has Next Generation

7
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:45,440
Graphics powered by NVIDIA 600 series

8
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:51,000
gpus so this is an incredibly exciting

9
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:51,000
product and it comes with a Targus

10
00:00:51,079 --> 00:00:58,800
backpack I'm going to let that sink in Target's backpack uh okay no but

11
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:03,840
seriously you guys it has um like a republic of gamer branded thing going on

12
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:07,520
here and for an included backpack I can already tell you guys it feels really

13
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:13,759
good there's actually genuinely padding on it whereas most like free bonus gift

14
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:15,600
backpacks are usually pretty horrible so

15
00:01:13,759 --> 00:01:20,240
uh yeah there you go it's got like a Seuss branding on the uh the the lining

16
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:24,079
and then your notebook goes in there your other stuff you know I'm not going to spend too much time on the backpack

17
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:28,680
here but I feel like I should just kind of show it to you at least all right so

18
00:01:26,079 --> 00:01:32,759
there's your included Rog backpack here's what is presumably an included

19
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,759
Rog

20
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:42,560
Mouse okay there you go it's got like a DPI

21
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:46,920
adjust button scroll wheel you know some buttons that go here here and here some

22
00:01:44,399 --> 00:01:51,880
rubberized grips some slippy pads on the bottom pretty basic um I mean handy to

23
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:57,799
have an extra Mouse don't get me wrong but uh get a real gaming mouse if you

24
00:01:54,479 --> 00:02:00,240
sort of care about that sort of thing um

25
00:01:57,799 --> 00:02:04,759
so before we get into the specifics of the g75 let's talk about General ASUS

26
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:11,000
advantages so ASUS knows how to manufacture things um sort of goes

27
00:02:07,719 --> 00:02:12,959
without saying they are experts so take

28
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,200
that to the bank number two is they stand behind the things they manufacture

29
00:02:14,519 --> 00:02:23,280
you have a one-year warranty covering accidental damage drops spills power

30
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:26,879
surges and fire damage holy crap normally that costs you an extra what I

31
00:02:25,239 --> 00:02:31,400
don't know 150 bucks on an Apple probably something along those lines

32
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:35,640
more more s is sort of indicating to me 24-hour toll free phone support Target

33
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,720
is three business day turnaround time for repair and replacement and free

34
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:42,599
oneway standard shipping from ASUS to the user so you do have to ship it back

35
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:46,040
to them 2-year international warranty so it's one year of accidental damage

36
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:49,760
2-year overall warranty zero bright dot guarantee on the screen two-way free

37
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:53,400
standard shipping okay I don't understand which of these is going on

38
00:02:51,239 --> 00:02:58,120
here but 24/7 tech support so all that's on there either way ASUS does stand

39
00:02:55,959 --> 00:03:02,680
behind their products they do have the best default warranty that I'm aware of

40
00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:06,879
you can get better extended warranties than this on products but not out of the

41
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:13,680
box not without paying a bunch more money um okay 17.3 in full HD LED

42
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:18,720
backlit screen USB 3 I don't know what that has to do with the LCD maybe we'll

43
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:22,319
figure that out later uh okay without 3G

44
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:25,879
without TV 6X Blu-ray on this particular

45
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:29,280
skew okay we've got a 3610 qm that's a

46
00:03:25,879 --> 00:03:33,239
quad core i7 256 gig SSD boot drive and

47
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:36,720
750 G 7200 RPM drive that is the perfect

48
00:03:33,239 --> 00:03:38,799
Drive configuration gold star ASUS for

49
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:43,560
getting it exactly right because we see a lot of dual Bay uh notebooks that are

50
00:03:41,519 --> 00:03:49,159
configured with like dual hard drives in rid zero or like one hard drive in them

51
00:03:46,799 --> 00:03:53,120
by default no you need a boot SSD you need a mass storage Drive perfect and

52
00:03:51,319 --> 00:03:58,519
you need a high-speed mass storage Drive 7200 RPM Drive good job ASUS 16 gigs of

53
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:03,200
RAM Windows 7 Premium and and all of that looks sort

54
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:09,599
of pretty I can't believe that on a gaming notebook they actually don't have

55
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:12,280
a GPU spec on the spec

56
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:17,000
sheet simply phenomenal okay well guess we'll figure

57
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:21,359
out it's probably a 675m if it is what I think it is but uh I was sort of

58
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:26,160
expecting it to say for sure on the side of the unit but whatever uh power brick

59
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:30,680
is as we've come to expect with gaming notebooks not exactly small so you know

60
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:35,960
if you you were expecting it to be petite then you can expect to be

61
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:40,160
disappointed but you have to power a lot of power to a powerful notebook so

62
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:43,800
that's that's how they that's how we roll uh a couple speaker grills it looks

63
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:48,960
like okay so we'll find out what those are for after power cable to go with

64
00:04:45,919 --> 00:04:51,680
your power brick and power battery to go

65
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:56,440
with your like power power biceps to open the

66
00:04:56,759 --> 00:05:02,479
package battery notice I believe the battery is only one year warranty or

67
00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:06,360
like 90day or something um usually the battery has a lesser warranty than the

68
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:09,600
rest although it looks like I'm totally wrong this has nothing to do with that

69
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:13,360
it just has to do with making sure you don't dispose of it in fire which is a

70
00:05:11,479 --> 00:05:17,080
terrible idea I mean you shouldn't dispose of almost anything in if it's

71
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:22,319
not made of paper you shouldn't be disposing of it in fire okay can we just

72
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:26,319
sort of all agree on that I mean wood Wood's okay but not painted wood you

73
00:05:24,479 --> 00:05:31,960
know these are common sense things that uh ASUS sort of is explaining to us and

74
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:37,440
I mean nice of them it's it's good that they don't want us to you know inhale

75
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:40,960
toxic fumes and Destroy IM mate our environment but uh it seems a little

76
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:45,479
self-explanatory so there's your battery pack you kind of throw the thing in

77
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:51,000
there and pop the thing in there and you're good to go the bottom is covered

78
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:53,440
in rubber grippies here here here here

79
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:58,800
here and here and these are just plastic ones so I think they're just for looks

80
00:05:55,319 --> 00:06:00,440
but whatever um so they've put a lot

81
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,680
more support behind the screen because the screen is big and they put less

82
00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:08,919
support behind the rest of it because the rest of it is not so big and I think

83
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:13,680
that's all pretty pretty straightforward so on the back of the unit bam

84
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:15,199
ventilation huge heat sinks here and

85
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,960
here with heat pipes running through them these are cooling that high-end GPU

86
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:23,440
and that high-end quad core CPU Kensington lock for security gorgeous

87
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:27,599
little branding accents there this this looks really sharp it looks it almost

88
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:30,840
looks like imagine this kind of guys okay so from from back a little bit

89
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:34,440
further so kind of want this angle there's your headlights there's your

90
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:38,639
emblem in the middle there's your front grill sort of thing it kind of looks

91
00:06:35,919 --> 00:06:42,680
like a performance vehicle I think and that's uh you know probably totally off

92
00:06:41,039 --> 00:06:47,160
in terms of what their design philosophy was for it but it looks fantastic on the

93
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:51,520
side we've got two USB 3.0 super speed ports a Blu-ray disc player an SD card a

94
00:06:49,639 --> 00:06:54,759
microphone and headphone jack on the front we have indicator LEDs for a

95
00:06:53,240 --> 00:07:00,199
variet of different things including caps lock uh number lock Wireless hard

96
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:06,919
drive activity battery and apparently a light bulb maybe power uh wow two more

97
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:10,160
USB 3 super speed ports so no USB 2 uh

98
00:07:06,919 --> 00:07:11,199
we've got Thunderbolt HDMI gigabit

99
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:16,360
Ethernet VGA good inclusion because every once in

100
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:20,800
a while you will still need to Output to VGA and it's good to have it and since

101
00:07:18,639 --> 00:07:25,639
it doesn't have DVI you don't have those analog pins in the DVI connector so

102
00:07:22,639 --> 00:07:28,440
you've got digital analog great uh Power

103
00:07:25,639 --> 00:07:32,639
in and let's go ahead and open her up so the top is again very beautiful this is

104
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:36,199
pretty similar to the last generation g74 in terms of the look of the hinge

105
00:07:34,599 --> 00:07:40,879
and the look of the top of the unit Republic of Gamers badge and ASUS logo

106
00:07:38,759 --> 00:07:45,039
on the back look very very sharp you've got a soft touch feel to the overall

107
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:48,000
outside of the unit which is very nice and it also gives you a little bit of

108
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:52,520
durability it's harder to scratch soft touch than it is something like a glossy

109
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:56,879
plastic surface ultimate fighting machine sure why not got one of those

110
00:07:54,560 --> 00:08:00,960
protectors for the keyboard against the uh the screen itself and this is oh this

111
00:07:58,919 --> 00:08:04,520
is nice we got like a brushed aluminum thing going on here let's see if it's

112
00:08:03,039 --> 00:08:09,360
got enough of a charge to turn on right out of the box here so brushed aluminum

113
00:08:06,879 --> 00:08:12,879
um backplane for your keyboard which is Led backlit I'm going to turn off the

114
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:18,280
lights in the room for a second so you guys can see what the uh what the

115
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:20,960
backlight looks like it's beautiful I I

116
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:26,879
I love white LED backlights um I think in my favorites kind of go like green

117
00:08:23,039 --> 00:08:29,240
and then white and then like other

118
00:08:26,879 --> 00:08:35,599
um so it's booting up right now you got a full number pad and no glaring errors

119
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:41,000
on the keyboard layout full size shift full size shift backspace and enter

120
00:08:38,279 --> 00:08:45,360
wonderful perfect way to go ASUS because it kills me when I see keyboard layouts

121
00:08:43,599 --> 00:08:49,560
that are that are broken due to the notebook however it's easier on a 17in

122
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:54,160
than it is on uh smaller form factor notebooks so you know there you go um

123
00:08:52,240 --> 00:09:01,040
right so it has a GTX 670m which is a pretty beefy graphics

124
00:08:58,279 --> 00:09:06,640
card and and that'll go with the uh the quad core processor so I'm just going to

125
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:09,760
put uh demo demo I guess I I don't know

126
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:11,240
they're going to be using this at the uh

127
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:19,279
no I don't want a Bing Bar are you kidding me oh man okay use recommended

128
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,560
settings we are in Pacific time uh Tech

129
00:09:19,279 --> 00:09:24,120
tipn doesn't have any internet connectivity right now anyway oh okay I

130
00:09:22,839 --> 00:09:29,399
thought I was getting a call but it's just my Twitter feed going nut for some

131
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:31,320
reason um okay so moving on you've got

132
00:09:29,399 --> 00:09:34,200
all the usual hot Keys here so you got your brightness up and down you've got

133
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:38,680
your keyboard brightness up and down your wireless sleep uh external display

134
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:41,839
internal display turn off the touchpad and your audio controls I wouldn't have

135
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:47,920
minded seeing media control oh there they are uh there's your play pause back

136
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:50,800
forward and stop ah love that dedicated

137
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:54,200
stop button so many devices aren't doing dedicated stop buttons anymore because

138
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:58,600
they're like oh no pause is good enough because pause is good enough for Apple

139
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:05,160
um Apple started this with no stop button stop means like off go away and

140
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:07,160
so good job uh We've also got their

141
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:11,240
shoot I forget what The Branding name for this is but it controls all your

142
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:16,120
different um Power modes and all of that so that's your your function for the for

143
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:21,800
the space bar here we go gamer friendly ergonomic design intelligent cooling

144
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:24,279
plus Easy Clean system Easy Clean system

145
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:31,519
wonder what makes it easy clean no way look at that so you can

146
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:36,720
either open this up up with one screw fantastic or you can open up this with

147
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:42,800
one screw and clean out the cooler see that's the see manufacturing

148
00:10:40,079 --> 00:10:49,279
expertise understanding the challenges and then just like addressing it instead

149
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:51,519
of ignoring it that that is what sets

150
00:10:49,279 --> 00:10:57,079
apart and I have I still have no idea what these are for but uh moving right

151
00:10:53,800 --> 00:11:00,639
along like are they for like okay I I

152
00:10:57,079 --> 00:11:02,480
got nothing I'm sorry guys um CPU GPU

153
00:11:00,639 --> 00:11:08,360
Extreme Performance it sure does oh right so I have left out the best part

154
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:13,720
for last so it has two-year warranty etc etc comes with macafe Internet Security

155
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:19,959
as well as ASUS's web storage that's handy as well um has instant on oh

156
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:23,079
that's cool so it uses um it uses

157
00:11:19,959 --> 00:11:24,800
Intel's latest chipset technology to

158
00:11:23,079 --> 00:11:28,240
instantly power on so here I'll show you guys um cuz I'm sure this is going to

159
00:11:26,680 --> 00:11:31,519
work even though this is a completely live demo and you can see what a

160
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:35,480
difference the SSD makes if you guys have ever turned on a new computer oh

161
00:11:33,399 --> 00:11:39,000
crap ask me later go away if you guys have ever turned on a new computer then

162
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:44,480
you probably know that they don't usually turn on that fast and initialize

163
00:11:40,839 --> 00:11:46,519
for the first time SSD is amazing and

164
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:50,200
everyone should have one so we're going to go into

165
00:11:48,079 --> 00:11:53,959
sleep and we're going to see when it goes into sleep I'm so confident that

166
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:57,360
this will be fast there it's in sleep and we're going to turn it on and it is

167
00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:02,560
going to be on and Bam

168
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:10,000
instant on excellent uh right so Best For Last this

169
00:12:06,639 --> 00:12:11,760
screen is what I'm all about so you can

170
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:15,240
see right here there's a built-in transmitter what is that for oh there's

171
00:12:13,560 --> 00:12:21,240
a webcam too but every notebook has a webcam uh there's a built-in transmitter

172
00:12:17,199 --> 00:12:22,440
so what is that for that is for your

173
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:30,920
okay I'm just going to go away and I'm going to find them hold on hold on wait

174
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:34,120
for it yes that is for your balling out

175
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:37,600
3D Vision glasses because this notebook

176
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:40,240
display is 3D Vision ready and 3D Vision

177
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:45,000
ready with light boost if you guys remember any of what I've said about

178
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:47,519
light boost in the past then um I don't

179
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:52,800
need to say this next part but if you don't then I do light

180
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:58,360
boost is amazing light boost takes the 3D Vision experience from for me a

181
00:12:56,199 --> 00:13:04,000
little bit headache inducing after about 30 seconds to comfortable and awesome

182
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:07,560
light boost is amazing it not only increases the brightness of the display

183
00:13:06,079 --> 00:13:12,519
when you're in 3D mode with the 3D glasses it also dramatically reduces the

184
00:13:10,839 --> 00:13:16,160
cross talk between the images which is what I get the headache from where I can

185
00:13:14,279 --> 00:13:19,360
see a little bit of the left eye image through my right eye because the panel

186
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:24,320
isn't switching fast enough and it's not modulating the backlight in order to

187
00:13:21,199 --> 00:13:26,360
optimize it for me so that is fantastic

188
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:30,480
I love light boost it is amazing it is magical it's like it's like I could

189
00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:35,040
stand up and deliver a keynote speech about how it is magical and uh I would

190
00:13:33,199 --> 00:13:38,920
actually genuinely believe myself unlike some things that have been presented as

191
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:46,199
magical in the past so there you go 1080p light boost ready 3D Vision

192
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:48,160
display awesome awesome performance and

193
00:13:46,199 --> 00:13:51,279
yeah it's okay it's kind of heavy but that's sort of life when you have a

194
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:55,600
