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

00:00:08.679 --> 00:00:16.640
world that's like an eternity because frankly the powerful brick-like desktop

00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:22.400
replacement gaming machine Paradigm is fairly mature at this point but the g751

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

00:00:54.160 --> 00:00:59.719
available with the core i7 4860 HQ which

00:00:58.120 --> 00:01:06.439
on paper doesn't look that much faster but seems to Turbo better than the older

00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:10.360
4710 HQ and GTX 970m and 980m graphics

00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:12.520
cards to replace the older 870m and 88m

00:01:10.360 --> 00:01:16.840
with the same 5% over clock available through isusa GPU tweak utility thanks

00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:22.159
to some non-standard power delivery componentry for the GPU which leads us

00:01:19.320 --> 00:01:26.280
into the physical tour the overall size shape and weight didn't really get

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

00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:37.079
with me all day at school or anything but the finishing touches got some nice

00:01:33.520 --> 00:01:39.040
little upgrades on our much better IMO

00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:44.640
compared to its predecessor instead of a plain black back we get a nice metal

00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:49.280
shield around the assus logo and sweet red accents on the rear vent covers that

00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:53.360
hide an otherwise very similar dual fan cooling system which is a good thing by

00:01:51.240 --> 00:01:56.960
the way because it's quiet underload near silent at idle and the entire

00:01:55.200 --> 00:02:03.920
outside of the notebook stays super cool to boot on the bottom we find vents a

00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:06.920
subwoofer and a doorway to another

00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:09.959
dimension no just kidding it's a 2 and 1

00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:11.360
half in hard drive bay and a PCI m.2

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

00:02:12.959 --> 00:02:18.360
a raid or something not bad storage options but I feel like ASUS could have

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

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

00:02:25.959 --> 00:02:31.160
that feeds the 6,000 mAh battery

00:02:28.959 --> 00:02:36.440
Ethernet with a say game first packet prioritization and bandwidth control

00:02:33.239 --> 00:02:38.360
HDMI 1.4 Thunderbolt this is a great

00:02:36.440 --> 00:02:43.200
feature for a creative Pro who wants to use this as a mobile workstation by the

00:02:39.959 --> 00:02:46.000
way USB 3 and audio then on the left we

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

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

00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:57.040
my movies on a groy TN panel no I don't

00:02:55.319 --> 00:03:03.840
and neither does a seus apparently the 17.3 in matte finish screen is where the

00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:06.480
the g750 series got upgraded in its

00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:14.040
biggest most significant way other than the GPU moving to the

00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:17.319
g751 the g751 Now features a 1080p IPS

00:03:14.040 --> 00:03:20.080
panel that looks just great very even

00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:27.400
backlight great viewing angles just fantastic no overly blurry motion

00:03:23.519 --> 00:03:29.920
nothing like that yay which leads us to

00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:34.680
the keyboard which still has correct laid out arrow keys and nice long travel

00:03:32.519 --> 00:03:39.159
distances on the keys for a laptop but has actually changed a lot in other ways

00:03:36.760 --> 00:03:44.400
some good stuff and some not so good stuff first The Good the white LED

00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:46.920
backlight is now Rog red the space bar

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

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

00:03:55.760 --> 00:04:02.720
now for the bad stuff the number lock key has been replaced by an ASUS

00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:10.079
gaming center launcher key that opens up a mostly useless Rog Metro UI thing I

00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:13.519
don't mind the inclusion of the app because it does at least let you see

00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:17.759
some system info and configure a couple different gaming profiles with different

00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:22.560
settings for LCD appearance audio EQ and GPU overclocking and other than McAfee

00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:26.919
and wild tangent games and some CyberLink slideshow maker thing the

00:04:24.440 --> 00:04:32.639
system doesn't come with much bloatware but it didn't need a dedicated key and

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

00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:39.720
of that ASUS seems to already know that we don't need some random game launcher

00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:44.639
because they went and included a dedicated steam button that launches Big

00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:47.520
Picture Mode for some reason because everyone likes Big Picture Mode on their

00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:52.600
laptop and doesn't have steam set to open automatically when their system boots

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

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

00:04:59.039 --> 00:05:04.520
get a Shadow play button whose position

00:05:02.039 --> 00:05:08.759
I actually hate worst of all I fired up GeForce experience quite a few times

00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:13.000
reaching for escape and I'm sure that the last thing any streamer wants to do

00:05:10.479 --> 00:05:17.039
is reach for escape to close a menu and terminate his Stream So this button

00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:22.160
should really be somewhere really far away from the gaming Zone on the

00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:26.120
keyboard but uh yeah I mean other than that the keyboard's fine and all this

00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:29.319
stuff feels really well intentioned it's just it's kind of a little bit Half

00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:33.360
Baked maybe next time they'll get the layout of that stuff just right speaking

00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:39.199
of baking though now we get to move on to the best thing about the keyboard

00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:41.479
there's no baking at all it's so cool

00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:45.400
the Palm rest is only a couple degrees above the temperature of the table next

00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:49.400
to the laptop the gaming Zone doesn't get much hotter and even the hottest

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

00:05:54.080 --> 00:06:00.360
stare at the flare and Crisis 3 test holy crap and the bottom of the laptop

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

00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:09.000
gaming notebooks because cool and quiet is good for your ears and good for your

00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:12.120
Hardware performance is a strong point of the notebook too we did a dedicated

00:06:10.840 --> 00:06:16.039
video on this already which you can watch here but I'll throw the graphs

00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:21.120
into this video anyway for your convenience the 98m handily beats out

00:06:18.599 --> 00:06:25.720
the last gen 88m while costing the same delivering new features having lower

00:06:23.599 --> 00:06:32.240
heat output and lower power consumption and therefore bettery battery life

00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:35.120
bettery battery life better battery life

00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:39.720
which leads us to battery Boost 2.0 compared to last gen's simple slider to

00:06:37.919 --> 00:06:44.680
select a Target frame rate and control GPU power consumption version two tries

00:06:42.440 --> 00:06:48.720
to better optimize the whole system's use of The Limited current that the

00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:52.440
battery can provide usually about half of what the wall plug can do it also

00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:57.120
allows separate in-game settings profiles to be configured for battery

00:06:54.560 --> 00:07:01.039
and wall power within GeForce experience so that your frame rate target will be

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

00:07:03.479 --> 00:07:10.039
automatically now through GeForce experience as long as you launch the

00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:15.479
game while on battery power it doesn't support just starting a game on the wall

00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:17.840
and then pulling the plug unfortunately

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

00:07:20.039 --> 00:07:28.960
for an Apples to Apples comparison at a frame rate that I personally find very

00:07:25.280 --> 00:07:31.759
usable and it works I've actually seen

00:07:28.960 --> 00:07:35.520
reports of much better battery life improvements deep into double digits and

00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:39.759
less demanding games around the internet though so your mileage may vary with

00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:44.000
this one as well but it's a very very cool

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
