I didn't expect Aus to change much from the g750 that we reviewed way back when

00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:10,920
dinosaurs roamed the earth I mean okay it was only 6 months ago but in the tech

3
00:00:08,679 --> 00:00:16,640
world that's like an eternity because frankly the powerful brick-like desktop

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:22,400
replacement gaming machine Paradigm is fairly mature at this point but the g751

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:27,679
is kind of like the Cat in the Hat came back same animal some new tricks watch

first up the Core specs get a shot in the ARM with the top tier models

12
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:59,719
available with the core i7 4860 HQ which

13
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:06,439
on paper doesn't look that much faster but seems to Turbo better than the older

14
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:10,360
4710 HQ and GTX 970m and 980m graphics

15
00:01:06,439 --> 00:01:12,520
cards to replace the older 870m and 88m

16
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:16,840
with the same 5% over clock available through isusa GPU tweak utility thanks

17
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:22,159
to some non-standard power delivery componentry for the GPU which leads us

18
00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:26,280
into the physical tour the overall size shape and weight didn't really get

19
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:30,720
altered so yeah I still really wouldn't want to carry its 4.8 kg bulk around

20
00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:37,079
with me all day at school or anything but the finishing touches got some nice

21
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:39,040
little upgrades on our much better IMO

22
00:01:37,079 --> 00:01:44,640
compared to its predecessor instead of a plain black back we get a nice metal

23
00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:49,280
shield around the assus logo and sweet red accents on the rear vent covers that

24
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:53,360
hide an otherwise very similar dual fan cooling system which is a good thing by

25
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:56,960
the way because it's quiet underload near silent at idle and the entire

26
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:03,920
outside of the notebook stays super cool to boot on the bottom we find vents a

27
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:06,920
subwoofer and a doorway to another

28
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:09,959
dimension no just kidding it's a 2 and 1

29
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,360
half in hard drive bay and a PCI m.2

30
00:02:09,959 --> 00:02:15,360
slot that can be removed if you wanted to add another 2 and 1 half in drive for

31
00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:18,360
a raid or something not bad storage options but I feel like ASUS could have

32
00:02:16,959 --> 00:02:23,280
done better with a little bit more effort here moving back up to the I/O on

33
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:28,959
the right side we got a standard Jack for the 230 W brick of a power supply

34
00:02:25,959 --> 00:02:31,160
that feeds the 6,000 mAh battery

35
00:02:28,959 --> 00:02:36,440
Ethernet with a say game first packet prioritization and bandwidth control

36
00:02:33,239 --> 00:02:38,360
HDMI 1.4 Thunderbolt this is a great

37
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:43,200
feature for a creative Pro who wants to use this as a mobile workstation by the

38
00:02:39,959 --> 00:02:46,000
way USB 3 and audio then on the left we

39
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:49,680
get USB 3 a Blu-ray Drive and an SD card reader well hold on a second there lonus

40
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:55,319
why would we want a Blu-ray drive on a gaming laptop do you expect me to watch

41
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:57,040
my movies on a groy TN panel no I don't

42
00:02:55,319 --> 00:03:03,840
and neither does a seus apparently the 17.3 in matte finish screen is where the

43
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:06,480
the g750 series got upgraded in its

44
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:14,040
biggest most significant way other than the GPU moving to the

45
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:17,319
g751 the g751 Now features a 1080p IPS

46
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:20,080
panel that looks just great very even

47
00:03:17,319 --> 00:03:27,400
backlight great viewing angles just fantastic no overly blurry motion

48
00:03:23,519 --> 00:03:29,920
nothing like that yay which leads us to

49
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:34,680
the keyboard which still has correct laid out arrow keys and nice long travel

50
00:03:32,519 --> 00:03:39,159
distances on the keys for a laptop but has actually changed a lot in other ways

51
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:44,400
some good stuff and some not so good stuff first The Good the white LED

52
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:46,920
backlight is now Rog red the space bar

53
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:52,840
is wider on the left now for a more relaxed WD posture speaking of WD the W

54
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:57,799
key now has a little tactile bump on it so you can find it without looking and

55
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:02,720
now for the bad stuff the number lock key has been replaced by an ASUS

56
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:10,079
gaming center launcher key that opens up a mostly useless Rog Metro UI thing I

57
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:13,519
don't mind the inclusion of the app because it does at least let you see

58
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:17,759
some system info and configure a couple different gaming profiles with different

59
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:22,560
settings for LCD appearance audio EQ and GPU overclocking and other than McAfee

60
00:04:20,759 --> 00:04:26,919
and wild tangent games and some CyberLink slideshow maker thing the

61
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:32,639
system doesn't come with much bloatware but it didn't need a dedicated key and

62
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:36,880
it definitely didn't need to go where the number lock key should go and on top

63
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,720
of that ASUS seems to already know that we don't need some random game launcher

64
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:44,639
because they went and included a dedicated steam button that launches Big

65
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,520
Picture Mode for some reason because everyone likes Big Picture Mode on their

66
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:52,600
laptop and doesn't have steam set to open automatically when their system boots

67
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:56,320
up we also get a couple macro Keys up here though I prefer them on the left

68
00:04:54,680 --> 00:05:02,039
but your mileage may vary having them on the top might be perfect for you and we

69
00:04:59,039 --> 00:05:04,520
get a Shadow play button whose position

70
00:05:02,039 --> 00:05:08,759
I actually hate worst of all I fired up GeForce experience quite a few times

71
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:13,000
reaching for escape and I'm sure that the last thing any streamer wants to do

72
00:05:10,479 --> 00:05:17,039
is reach for escape to close a menu and terminate his Stream So this button

73
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:22,160
should really be somewhere really far away from the gaming Zone on the

74
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:26,120
keyboard but uh yeah I mean other than that the keyboard's fine and all this

75
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:29,319
stuff feels really well intentioned it's just it's kind of a little bit Half

76
00:05:27,639 --> 00:05:33,360
Baked maybe next time they'll get the layout of that stuff just right speaking

77
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:39,199
of baking though now we get to move on to the best thing about the keyboard

78
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:41,479
there's no baking at all it's so cool

79
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:45,400
the Palm rest is only a couple degrees above the temperature of the table next

80
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:49,400
to the laptop the gaming Zone doesn't get much hotter and even the hottest

81
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:56,240
part of the top of the laptop stayed in the 40° CSUS and change range during my

82
00:05:54,080 --> 00:06:00,360
stare at the flare and Crisis 3 test holy crap and the bottom of the laptop

83
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:04,479
was very similar to too I mean I guess there's something to be said for thick

84
00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:09,000
gaming notebooks because cool and quiet is good for your ears and good for your

85
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:12,120
Hardware performance is a strong point of the notebook too we did a dedicated

86
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:16,039
video on this already which you can watch here but I'll throw the graphs

87
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:21,120
into this video anyway for your convenience the 98m handily beats out

88
00:06:18,599 --> 00:06:25,720
the last gen 88m while costing the same delivering new features having lower

89
00:06:23,599 --> 00:06:32,240
heat output and lower power consumption and therefore bettery battery life

90
00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:35,120
bettery battery life better battery life

91
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:39,720
which leads us to battery Boost 2.0 compared to last gen's simple slider to

92
00:06:37,919 --> 00:06:44,680
select a Target frame rate and control GPU power consumption version two tries

93
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:48,720
to better optimize the whole system's use of The Limited current that the

94
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:52,440
battery can provide usually about half of what the wall plug can do it also

95
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:57,120
allows separate in-game settings profiles to be configured for battery

96
00:06:54,560 --> 00:07:01,039
and wall power within GeForce experience so that your frame rate target will be

97
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:05,000
easy to hit and you can use less of your GPU's horsepower and it all works

98
00:07:03,479 --> 00:07:10,039
automatically now through GeForce experience as long as you launch the

99
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:15,479
game while on battery power it doesn't support just starting a game on the wall

100
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:17,840
and then pulling the plug unfortunately

101
00:07:15,479 --> 00:07:22,759
I tried it out in Tomb Raider with a 45 FPS Target using the same settings just

102
00:07:20,039 --> 00:07:28,960
for an Apples to Apples comparison at a frame rate that I personally find very

103
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:31,759
usable and it works I've actually seen

104
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:35,520
reports of much better battery life improvements deep into double digits and

105
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:39,759
less demanding games around the internet though so your mileage may vary with

106
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:44,000
this one as well but it's a very very cool

107
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:48,039
feature I guess that pretty much winds it up then doesn't it guys thank you for
