ASUS Republic of Gamers G75VW-AH71 17.3-Inch Vouchers

Amazonaddict:
I bought this review because of the excellent specs for a fairly reasonable price. I had this laptop for no more than a month when a bright pixel appeared on the LED screen. Since the sticker on the box said "0 bright dot guarantee", I didn't really worry about it. However, after contacting customer service, I was told that the "0 Bright dot guarantee" only covered you if you hade 5 or more bright dots. I don't know how my definition of 0 managed to be different than Asus's, but being basically told to go screw myself after spending $1500 on a gaming laptop makes me sick to my stomach. So now I can just walk into dark rooms in games, and say hello to my little green dot that apparantly "Does not impact the perfomance of the machine". Just a horrible annoyance that will ensure that if I purchase another gamning laptop, it will ASBOLUTELY not come from Asus!

The system runs great. Runs everything I throw at it like a champ. The major flaw and the reason I didn't give it 5 starts is that it has a very annoying audio problem. If I am using the computer with headphones plugged in everything works great... until I have to stop and do something else. When I come back I am blasted by not only the headphones but the speaker as well. The only way to get back to just headphones is to turn the sound off and back on. If I am using Bluetooth headphones the problem is much worse. When I get back the sound does not work.. at all. If I have a video paused I will start it and get no sound. Turning the sound on and off does not fix this problem. The only way to fix it is to disconnect the headset and re-connect it. This is a major issue and is absolutely unacceptable in a laptop at this price point. Multiple driver updates have not fixed the issue.

Yes this a great laptop with power to spare but until the sound issue is fixed I cannot recommend it to others yet.

Well I just received my G75vw. To start off he look is amazing by far the best laptop I have decided to purchase with this price tag. Truly sleek and sexy with a little oomph in the back it is impressive. I dislike windows 8 but that isn't a killer for me. What did knock atleast a star off of the rating is when playing LoL I get massive lag spikes for a few seconds which is enough to die (which is rather annoying). I have updated some of the drivers. Mainly gpu, bios.. Next will be wireless and anything else I find when searching the web for a bit of advice ( including the lovely bloat ware from the cd). Now I gave it 3 stars for that fact. Having to do so much updating right off the box that is slightly annoying. Unless it is something with new computers that have came out in 2012 (last computer is a dell inspirion 14z) which in all honestly is alot faster with no pinging issues. This leads me to believe there is a obvious disconnect some where and a driver needs updated or something is faulty. I work full time grave yard and have school 16 credit hours so my schedule is full. Typically just want to hop online game for a hour or two to relax then get on with my day but having to research how to get a computer operating properly ( I am not computer person) is just a bit annoying. So 3 stars until said issue is fixed then will see how this baby performs once fully working!
