14 DAY TRIAL // Traces of the upcoming high-end ASUS ROG G751 gaming system appeared a while ago and since NVIDIA has unveiled its latest GTX 980M / 970M graphics cards, the device maker is free to roll out the machine into the wild.
The ROG G751 family is composed of four laptop models, three of which take advantage of Intel’s Core i7-4710HQ processor while the last one makes use of Intel’s Core i7-4860HQ processor.
The four models bring different characteristics
In the GPU department, the G761JT-CH71 and the G751JT-DH72 will take advantage of NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 970M GPU with 3GB of GDDR5 VRAM.
If you want more, there’s also the G751JY-DH71 and G751JY-DH72X which take advantage of NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 980M with 4GB of GDDR5 VRAM. Naturally, these models will be sold at more expensive price-tags, as they also take advantage of a DVD Super-Multi optical drive.
The GTX 970M models are equipped with a Blu-ray burner, instead. They also pack 16GB of DDR3 memory, while the DH71 has 24GB of DDR3 and the DH72X comes along with 32GB of DDR3 memory.
As for storage, the CH71 has 1TB 7200 RPM hard drive, the DH72 and DH71 boast 1TB 7200 RPM hard drive and a PCIe 256 GB SSD and the DH72X has a 1TB 7200 RPM hard drive and PCIe 512 GB SSD.
All four laptops offer a 17.3-inch form factor and will be shipped with an anti-glare IPS screen with LED backlighting and 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution. The notebooks have a built-in HD camera, one-piece Chiclet keyboard and run Windows 8.1 out of the box.
All machines come with the F-22 Raptor inspired lines characteristic of previous G series iterations. Customers will recognize the familiar and stylish finish and illuminated ROG logo.
The gaming machines boast dedicated keys for instant access Steam and one-click game recording. For example, the Macro Key can be used to set up three commands for various in-game multi-key actions or launching of specific applications.
The gaming experience is further enhanced by the presence of ASUS’ SonicMaster and ROG AudioWizard audio technology.
On top of all that, we can add the benefits of NVIDIA’s latest GPU architecture, which brings about longer battery life, better performance and extended game-play times while the laptops are unplugged.
The ASUS ROG G751 family starts shipping as of this week with a starting price set for $1,499 / €1,186.
