Great laptop, but it's nearly the same as the G701 which was $600 cheaper.
Also, anyone else wish that ASUS would ditch their juvenile "REPUBLIC OF GAMERS" branding along with that silly logo? Even stuff like Alienware looks minimalist and professional by comparison.
I'm disappointed that most gaming grade desktop replacements utilize 1080p displays rather than 1440p. Many high end desktops already are at 1440p, (4k is still far too hard to drive with current hardware), so why not go to 1440p?
I'm loving my Alienware 17R4 which has a 17" 1440p 120 Hz display and the extra resolution makes it oh so crisp compared to a 1080p display. My main complaint however is the use of a TN versus VA or IPS which I haven't seen yet on a laptop....

Why pre-overclock when you're gonna thermal throttle?xchaotic - Saturday, November 4, 2017 - link
Because people will pay more: it is OC, RGB, GSYNC.With a horrible 72% NTSC screen, 5400rpm HDD, it's a steal at just $3500
