Asus GFX70JZ !?

[MorphinePG]

what is it?why is it not been heard?
or is it only for China?
why GFX? - this is the same G750JZ, but with i7 4860HQ (which by the way the same 4700HQ, but the clock speed turbo boost 3.6 vs. 3.4),the same GTX880M, but instead of 4Gb - 8Gb ...


sorry for bad english ...

MorphinePG, nice find!

The GFX70JZ looks just like a G750JZ, all the photo's are the same as the ones in the G750JZ listing in the US model, but the specifications tab has the CPU and GPU options different.

It would make sense to change the name to start with "GFX" if it only uses the Nvidia GPU.

Hopefully it is a new model series without Optimus... I can't read Chinese, maybe you can do a better translation than I can accomplish using Google Translate. I don't find any mention of Optimus or any suggestion of Intel graphics.

Does the text say anything about Optimus? The Intel/Nvidia "power saving" technology that uses the onboard Intel GPU to do graphics to save power? I don't see any logo's or mention of Optimus in the photo's or images.

There is also a GFX70JS :

I couldn't find a GFX70JM version.

Any for sale listings yet online in your area?

http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=3&s=721&m=GFX70JZ&os=&hashedid=7DKPclGh5CQI1vqw

and only atheros wifi.
on the bright side there are also windows 7 drivers.

This mainly looks like a little bit different name of the Canadian variant out there, which is G750JZ-QB72-CB which also has the following below :),

Intel Core i7 4860HQ (2.40GHz)
24GB Memory 1TB HDD 256GB SSD
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M 8GB
1920 x 1080
Windows 8.1 64-bit
Blu-Ray-Enabled DVD+/-RW/CD-RW

But yes no doubt, hopefully there should be a version without Optimus! somewhere or should come too - the dream still lives on 🙂 let's never give up!

MarshallR, and if it's made in China it's only for China too? 😉

Come on man, spill it!, when are the Optimus Free ROG Laptops's coming out?? 🙂

maybe it's a prototype before G750JZ? GFX and code name?)

If you see this image (from your link) you can understand that the GFX70JZ is the G750JZ:
