WEBVTT 00:00:07.319 --> 00:00:14.360 welcome to my unboxing of a super exciting product I've had quite a few 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 00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:27.640 g75 VW v3g m-18 00:00:24.119 --> 00:00:30.119 13-1 basically this is the ASUS g75 this 00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:34.800 is their next Generation Ivy Bridge gaming notebook which not only has Next 00:00:32.360 --> 00:00:42.320 Generation ivybridge processing behind the CPU it also has Next Generation 00:00:38.120 --> 00:00:45.440 Graphics powered by NVIDIA 600 series 00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:51.000 gpus so this is an incredibly exciting 00:00:45.440 --> 00:00:51.000 product and it comes with a Targus 00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:58.800 backpack I'm going to let that sink in Target's backpack uh okay no but 00:00:56.480 --> 00:01:03.840 seriously you guys it has um like a republic of gamer branded thing going on 00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:07.520 here and for an included backpack I can already tell you guys it feels really 00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:13.759 good there's actually genuinely padding on it whereas most like free bonus gift 00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:15.600 backpacks are usually pretty horrible so 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 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 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 00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:32.759 there's your included Rog backpack here's what is presumably an included 00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:32.759 Rog 00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:42.560 Mouse okay there you go it's got like a DPI 00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:46.920 adjust button scroll wheel you know some buttons that go here here and here some 00:01:44.399 --> 00:01:51.880 rubberized grips some slippy pads on the bottom pretty basic um I mean handy to 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 00:01:54.479 --> 00:02:00.240 sort of care about that sort of thing um 00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:04.759 so before we get into the specifics of the g75 let's talk about General ASUS 00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:11.000 advantages so ASUS knows how to manufacture things um sort of goes 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:12.959 without saying they are experts so take 00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:16.200 that to the bank number two is they stand behind the things they manufacture 00:02:14.519 --> 00:02:23.280 you have a one-year warranty covering accidental damage drops spills power 00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:26.879 surges and fire damage holy crap normally that costs you an extra what I 00:02:25.239 --> 00:02:31.400 don't know 150 bucks on an Apple probably something along those lines 00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:35.640 more more s is sort of indicating to me 24-hour toll free phone support Target 00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:38.720 is three business day turnaround time for repair and replacement and free 00:02:37.160 --> 00:02:42.599 oneway standard shipping from ASUS to the user so you do have to ship it back 00:02:40.200 --> 00:02:46.040 to them 2-year international warranty so it's one year of accidental damage 00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:49.760 2-year overall warranty zero bright dot guarantee on the screen two-way free 00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:53.400 standard shipping okay I don't understand which of these is going on 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 00:02:55.959 --> 00:03:02.680 behind their products they do have the best default warranty that I'm aware of 00:03:00.920 --> 00:03:06.879 you can get better extended warranties than this on products but not out of the 00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:13.680 box not without paying a bunch more money um okay 17.3 in full HD LED 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 00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:22.319 figure that out later uh okay without 3G 00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:25.879 without TV 6X Blu-ray on this particular 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:29.280 skew okay we've got a 3610 qm that's a 00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:33.239 quad core i7 256 gig SSD boot drive and 00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:36.720 750 G 7200 RPM drive that is the perfect 00:03:33.239 --> 00:03:38.799 Drive configuration gold star ASUS for 00:03:36.720 --> 00:03:43.560 getting it exactly right because we see a lot of dual Bay uh notebooks that are 00:03:41.519 --> 00:03:49.159 configured with like dual hard drives in rid zero or like one hard drive in them 00:03:46.799 --> 00:03:53.120 by default no you need a boot SSD you need a mass storage Drive perfect and 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 00:03:56.480 --> 00:04:03.200 RAM Windows 7 Premium and and all of that looks sort 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:09.599 of pretty I can't believe that on a gaming notebook they actually don't have 00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:12.280 a GPU spec on the spec 00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:17.000 sheet simply phenomenal okay well guess we'll figure 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 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 00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:30.680 is as we've come to expect with gaming notebooks not exactly small so you know 00:04:29.400 --> 00:04:35.960 if you you were expecting it to be petite then you can expect to be 00:04:33.320 --> 00:04:40.160 disappointed but you have to power a lot of power to a powerful notebook so 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 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 00:04:45.919 --> 00:04:51.680 your power brick and power battery to go 00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:56.440 with your like power power biceps to open the 00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:02.479 package battery notice I believe the battery is only one year warranty or 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:06.360 like 90day or something um usually the battery has a lesser warranty than the 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:09.600 rest although it looks like I'm totally wrong this has nothing to do with that 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 00:05:11.479 --> 00:05:17.080 terrible idea I mean you shouldn't dispose of almost anything in if it's 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 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 00:05:24.479 --> 00:05:31.960 know these are common sense things that uh ASUS sort of is explaining to us and 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 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:40.960 toxic fumes and Destroy IM mate our environment but uh it seems a little 00:05:39.400 --> 00:05:45.479 self-explanatory so there's your battery pack you kind of throw the thing in 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 00:05:47.960 --> 00:05:53.440 in rubber grippies here here here here 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 00:05:55.319 --> 00:06:00.440 but whatever um so they've put a lot 00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:03.680 more support behind the screen because the screen is big and they put less 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 00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:13.680 that's all pretty pretty straightforward so on the back of the unit bam 00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:15.199 ventilation huge heat sinks here and 00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:18.960 here with heat pipes running through them these are cooling that high-end GPU 00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:23.440 and that high-end quad core CPU Kensington lock for security gorgeous 00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:27.599 little branding accents there this this looks really sharp it looks it almost 00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:30.840 looks like imagine this kind of guys okay so from from back a little bit 00:06:28.880 --> 00:06:34.440 further so kind of want this angle there's your headlights there's your 00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:38.639 emblem in the middle there's your front grill sort of thing it kind of looks 00:06:35.919 --> 00:06:42.680 like a performance vehicle I think and that's uh you know probably totally off 00:06:41.039 --> 00:06:47.160 in terms of what their design philosophy was for it but it looks fantastic on the 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 00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:54.759 microphone and headphone jack on the front we have indicator LEDs for a 00:06:53.240 --> 00:07:00.199 variet of different things including caps lock uh number lock Wireless hard 00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:06.919 drive activity battery and apparently a light bulb maybe power uh wow two more 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:10.160 USB 3 super speed ports so no USB 2 uh 00:07:06.919 --> 00:07:11.199 we've got Thunderbolt HDMI gigabit 00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:16.360 Ethernet VGA good inclusion because every once in 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 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 00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:28.440 you've got digital analog great uh Power 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 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:36.199 pretty similar to the last generation g74 in terms of the look of the hinge 00:07:34.599 --> 00:07:40.879 and the look of the top of the unit Republic of Gamers badge and ASUS logo 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 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 00:07:46.280 --> 00:07:52.520 durability it's harder to scratch soft touch than it is something like a glossy 00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:56.879 plastic surface ultimate fighting machine sure why not got one of those 00:07:54.560 --> 00:08:00.960 protectors for the keyboard against the uh the screen itself and this is oh this 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 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 00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:12.879 um backplane for your keyboard which is Led backlit I'm going to turn off the 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 00:08:14.960 --> 00:08:20.960 backlight looks like it's beautiful I I 00:08:18.280 --> 00:08:26.879 I love white LED backlights um I think in my favorites kind of go like green 00:08:23.039 --> 00:08:29.240 and then white and then like other 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 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:41.000 on the keyboard layout full size shift full size shift backspace and enter 00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:45.360 wonderful perfect way to go ASUS because it kills me when I see keyboard layouts 00:08:43.599 --> 00:08:49.560 that are that are broken due to the notebook however it's easier on a 17in 00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:54.160 than it is on uh smaller form factor notebooks so you know there you go um 00:08:52.240 --> 00:09:01.040 right so it has a GTX 670m which is a pretty beefy graphics 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 00:09:02.760 --> 00:09:09.760 put uh demo demo I guess I I don't know 00:09:06.640 --> 00:09:11.240 they're going to be using this at the uh 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 00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:20.560 settings we are in Pacific time uh Tech 00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:24.120 tipn doesn't have any internet connectivity right now anyway oh okay I 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 00:09:25.920 --> 00:09:31.320 reason um okay so moving on you've got 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 00:09:32.800 --> 00:09:38.680 your keyboard brightness up and down your wireless sleep uh external display 00:09:36.640 --> 00:09:41.839 internal display turn off the touchpad and your audio controls I wouldn't have 00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:47.920 minded seeing media control oh there they are uh there's your play pause back 00:09:44.760 --> 00:09:50.800 forward and stop ah love that dedicated 00:09:47.920 --> 00:09:54.200 stop button so many devices aren't doing dedicated stop buttons anymore because 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:58.600 they're like oh no pause is good enough because pause is good enough for Apple 00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:05.160 um Apple started this with no stop button stop means like off go away and 00:10:01.920 --> 00:10:07.160 so good job uh We've also got their 00:10:05.160 --> 00:10:11.240 shoot I forget what The Branding name for this is but it controls all your 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 00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:21.800 the space bar here we go gamer friendly ergonomic design intelligent cooling 00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:24.279 plus Easy Clean system Easy Clean system 00:10:21.800 --> 00:10:31.519 wonder what makes it easy clean no way look at that so you can 00:10:28.560 --> 00:10:36.720 either open this up up with one screw fantastic or you can open up this with 00:10:33.760 --> 00:10:42.800 one screw and clean out the cooler see that's the see manufacturing 00:10:40.079 --> 00:10:49.279 expertise understanding the challenges and then just like addressing it instead 00:10:44.800 --> 00:10:51.519 of ignoring it that that is what sets 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 00:10:53.800 --> 00:11:00.639 along like are they for like okay I I 00:10:57.079 --> 00:11:02.480 got nothing I'm sorry guys um CPU GPU 00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:08.360 Extreme Performance it sure does oh right so I have left out the best part 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:13.720 for last so it has two-year warranty etc etc comes with macafe Internet Security 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 00:11:16.880 --> 00:11:23.079 that's cool so it uses um it uses 00:11:19.959 --> 00:11:24.800 Intel's latest chipset technology to 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 00:11:26.680 --> 00:11:31.519 work even though this is a completely live demo and you can see what a 00:11:29.760 --> 00:11:35.480 difference the SSD makes if you guys have ever turned on a new computer oh 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 00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:44.480 you probably know that they don't usually turn on that fast and initialize 00:11:40.839 --> 00:11:46.519 for the first time SSD is amazing and 00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:50.200 everyone should have one so we're going to go into 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 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 00:11:56.120 --> 00:12:02.560 going to be on and Bam 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:10.000 instant on excellent uh right so Best For Last this 00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:11.760 screen is what I'm all about so you can 00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:15.240 see right here there's a built-in transmitter what is that for oh there's 00:12:13.560 --> 00:12:21.240 a webcam too but every notebook has a webcam uh there's a built-in transmitter 00:12:17.199 --> 00:12:22.440 so what is that for that is for your 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 00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:34.120 for it yes that is for your balling out 00:12:30.920 --> 00:12:37.600 3D Vision glasses because this notebook 00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:40.240 display is 3D Vision ready and 3D Vision 00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:45.000 ready with light boost if you guys remember any of what I've said about 00:12:41.760 --> 00:12:47.519 light boost in the past then um I don't 00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:52.800 need to say this next part but if you don't then I do light 00:12:50.920 --> 00:12:58.360 boost is amazing light boost takes the 3D Vision experience from for me a 00:12:56.199 --> 00:13:04.000 little bit headache inducing after about 30 seconds to comfortable and awesome 00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:07.560 light boost is amazing it not only increases the brightness of the display 00:13:06.079 --> 00:13:12.519 when you're in 3D mode with the 3D glasses it also dramatically reduces the 00:13:10.839 --> 00:13:16.160 cross talk between the images which is what I get the headache from where I can 00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:19.360 see a little bit of the left eye image through my right eye because the panel 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:24.320 isn't switching fast enough and it's not modulating the backlight in order to 00:13:21.199 --> 00:13:26.360 optimize it for me so that is fantastic 00:13:24.320 -->
