a couple over here rubberized grip on the side and that's pretty much all she wrote about that guy moving right along we have our power brick and like I mean when it comes to Bricks you could actually build with this thing because it's big and uh here's my iPhone for comparison which I know you guys love so very much bam that's how big it is all right moving right along the notebook itself this is what I'm excited about so we unboxed their g75 quite recently which is a similar model but using a 17in screen now personally I find that a 17in screen is very awesome and very huge and great as a gaming experience but not quite as good as a portability experience and I definitely prefer for myself to have a 15-in screen which is exactly what is included with this one so here we have a couple accessories we've got a cable tie for your power adapter warranty card drivers and a notebook users manual including ooh R stickers very nice all right let's turn her on give me a second to get it booted up on the bottom we can easily see all of the upgrade panels there's your battery upgrade panel more like removal and like putting back in if you need to for whatever reason uh here we have access to our memory as well as our hard drive so that covers that let's do the external of it so ultimate fighting machine ASUS gaming notebook Rog Arsenal presents taking off the sticker so that we can see what the notebook looks like without it because most people won't keep it on on this side we've got a Kensington lock two USB 3.0 ports microphone headphones and a DVD multi-drive on the back we find ventilation so check this out we've got a full-sized heat sink that runs all the way from here to here the rest of this is actually plastic filler so it looks like you know a massive heat sink was enough to take care of the 660m as well as the Intel Core i7 quad core processor inside this machine I'm actually just going to take this off as well because that's sort of interfering with the gorgeousness uh the back of the unit has a soft touch feel which personally I quite like um everyone's got a bit of a different opinion about soft touch but I really like cases anything that I'm not going to touch too much I like to see the soft touge finish on because it can wear out like I have a G9 mouse that really wore out and then it kind of peels off but if you're not going to be all over it all the time it looks really good it stays really clean looking all the time and uh yeah I like it so shiny ASUS logo Republic of Gamers logo on the back as well moving around to the other side we've got gigabit Ethernet power VGA Thunderbolt yeah a HDMI as well as two more USB 3.0 super speed ports now you notice the lack of an SD card reader bam there it is right in the front as well as all of your indicator lights for things like hard drive Wireless caps lock number lock and all that good stuff speaking of number lock in spite of its 15inch form factor this notebook has a full desktop is keyboard meaning it's got a properly laid out set of arrow keys a full number pad as well as a fullsize backlit keyboard I want to get you guys a view of the backlighting on the keyboard if I could even move in the room here at all right now there's so much stuff all over the floor there we go how's it look awesome and white love it all right I'm actually I think white is probably either my favorite or my second favorite backlit keyboard color I do really like green as well speaking of soft touch they have a more durable type of soft touch here this has a texture to it so this will actually be far less likely to wear off when you have your palms resting on it all the time they've also got a nice big widescreen touchpad as well as left and right clicks which are to be expected at this point in time uh 2.3 GHz quad core processor I don't know if I mentioned that before so that's a 3610 qm it also has a GTX 660 so with its bigger brother you get an boot SSD you get a more powerful graphics card you do get a um I mean those are the biggest things you get the bigger screen um yeah one thing that you get with both of them though is the 3D capable display so your emitter is embedded in here somewhere all you got to do is Source yourself some 3D glasses they're about 100 bucks I think and you are ready for 3D gaming as soon as you can say Bob's your uncle and you configure it in the NVIDIA driver and I personally think that's pretty awesome so remember it's not only good for games but also for movies and whatever else you want to do in stereoscopic 3D if you have the supported applications installed has dual fans apparently which is kind of cool it also has 12 gigs of RAM as well as a 750 gig hard drive now there's no SSD that is disappointing but you can always go with the g75 or you can rip the drive out and throw in an SSD very easily if you want because it's uh very accessible on the bottom and the cord fell out so apparently it does have a battery and I mean unlike the 17-in bigger brother it is much lighter and much more portable so it's just a matter of deciding what you want out of it oh yeah hinge durability is one of the things that that ASUS has done a fantastic job with on their G Series notebooks look at these heavy duty hinges I really just don't expect them to break in in any way at any point in time love it and then finally the sound is done via the speakers all along the top here uh once again another upgrade that the g75 has is the subwoofer on the bottom this one does not have that so the g75 is clearly the higher end machine but it is clearly designed for the more hardcore gamer that is willing to sacrifice the portability to get those extra bells and whistles so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first
