Oh I know, I've actually msgd people from xotic & prostar (both recommended msi). And yes from the reviews I've seen the GT72's screen is fragile, supposedly...
What would you go with and why ? (kinda strange asking this on the asus forums)

So Aeolisio you strike me as a kind of guy that sales people's their own houses. I do admit, I like the looks of Asus more, not too flashy and seems
more solid; I also checked some repair centers found nothing on Kansas City... I'm thinking that this G sync buisness is more helpful when you're using
a weaker gpu; and since the 970m ain't as good as the 980m, it would be more useful to have. The cheapest G751 with g sync is around 1800$ (300 more
than i can afford).
How much of an impact would you think g sync has in new games ?
Since you had so many gt72's and G751's and used them " hard " (as you say) how did they perform after a few months; did they ever turn themselves off,
or had cooling problems ???
Since you worked on all those msi's what would say was the reason was that so many had to be returned ?

Ha i dont work in sales at all im just passionate about people making informed choices. I honestly believe g sync has very little visual impact but currently the g sync models are the same price or very close to the non g sync models on amazon. You can catch some youtube videos on g sync and decide for yourself. The g751s have been fantastic no major issues with any of them. Cooling on the g751 is excellent. The gt72 and gt80 both suffer in cooling without some sort of pad or raising and even then didnt leave much overhead room for an overclock or high ambient temps. The returned Msi's were a ton of different quality issues from defective displays, light bleed, loose ports, led lighting shorts and temp issues. The only redeeming parts of the gt72 are the keyboard and killer network but the keyboard on the g751s is nice aswell. Did i meantion pcie m.2 is only on the asus.

Well, I've been tormenting myself for a week now, reading and looking through different forums trying to get the best laptop.
My budget is 1500$ and I'm trying to decide between the GT751-JT and the GT72 Dominator. For the same price, the Dominator comes
with G-sync and a i7 7500HQ compared to asus i7 4710HQ. On the other hand the GT72 screen is flimsy, not as well built; both have
good cooling but i heard Asus is better(probably the best)...
On the costumer support side I have read a lot of negative reviews which dont encourage me to go forward; but at least the
asus forums are pretty active compared to msi, from what I saw. The biggest thing that makes me cautious would be the fact that
I've seen a lot of people complaining about hardware failures and problems with drivers right from the start (especially audio).
Both laptops have their pros and cons but I'm hoping for something that could last for at least 3 years.
- Why should I go with Asus over Msi ?
- Have you ever talked to Asus support to get a problem fixed ?

As far as "construction quality", the G751JY (similar to you model of choice) is very well designed and build. No cracks or movimg parts. Very sturdy notebook, very quiet fans even on max CPU-GPU, the nteboook runs very cool. Best cooling sistem I had on a notebook. Good IPS LCD.
The sound in the Asus, which many are complaining about, is not due to HW or Software failures, it's just that the main speakers are not very powerful and are partially obscured by the IPS monitor. So they don't sound great. But they are ok if you set them correctly.
The G-Sync is a BIG plus, I assure you. My G751JY at the moment has NOT recived the Asus support I wanted on G-Sync, even thou hardware wise the notebook is capable (I've been using g-Sync succesfully with the modefied leaked alpha drivers from gamenab) .
So If you are looking for good support, simply stay clear of Asus; they tend to ignore and not respond to your emails sometimes, and when they do they have generic answers that don't solve anything. Don't know about MSI, never had one.
I disagree with "aeolisio", G-Sync is a VERY big thing gaming-wise. It can help you make games look more fluid even when they are at 30fps, without the limits of classic V-Sync. Once you played a G-Sync game, it's difficult to turn back!
