At full-tilt, using audio of a decent level should drown out the fan noise completely.īeing such a large notebook, there’s no feeling of crampedness when typing away on the keyboard.

The notebook’s exhausts are unsurprisingly large, with a major benefit of that being that it won’t sound like a jet engine while it’s being stressed hard. However, one TSA agent did tell me that it “looked awesome”, so there’s that. I took this notebook to NVIDIA’s GTC last month, and while I appreciated having its power and big screen at the hotel, it wasn’t fun lugging it through multiple airports. It weighs 10.58lbs, so prepare to break a sweat when bringing it from point A to B.
ASUS G751JT WH71 REVIEW WINDOWS
That super-fast I/O makes a big difference for those with heavier workloads – it’s fast enough where a Windows virtual machine I ran on the notebook felt like it was running at native OS speeds.ģ.50GHz Turbo 6MB 元 Cache HyperThreadingĪs far as notebooks go, the G751 is a relative tank. For graphics duties, we have NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 980M, and for our volatile memory needs, there’s 24GB of DDR3-1600.Īlso worth noting is the inclusion of Samsung’s XP941 M.2 PCIe-based SSD, one that’s at least twice as fast as standard SATA-based SSDs (~1.1GB/s read, ~800MB/s write). Let’s start with the CPU: Intel Core i7-4710HQ, a quad-core offering that supports HyperThreading. It sports so much high-end hardware, I’m not even sure where to begin. In case I somehow failed to spell it out above: ASUS’ G751 is one hell of a powerful notebook.
ASUS G751JT WH71 REVIEW 1080P
Another good consideration would be the $1,500 model it drops the GPU to 970M, has 16GB of RAM, loses the M.2 SSD, and includes a standard DVD-RW drive in lieu of a BD-RE.Īll G751 notebooks feature the same chassis design as the G751JY I’m looking at here, in addition to special game-related keys, and also the bright 1080p display. At $2,250, it’s clear from the get-go that this gaming notebook means business, but I could make it even clearer with a couple of quick buzzwords: “24GB of RAM”, “NVIDIA GTX 980M”, and “1GB/s SSD”.ĪSUS’ G751 models range from $1,500 to $2,800, and I feel that those wanting to get to get the “full package” would do well with this $2,250 variant. To be more specific, I’m talking about the G751JY, the model that slots into the middle of ASUS’ G751 line-up. In fact, with its brawny hardware, it’s bound to be faster than the desktops most people reading this will own. It’s just so much more – a full-on desktop replacement that excels at gaming. To call ASUS’ G751 a mere “gaming notebook” seems like a disservice.
