Coming Soon: G75VX

[X-ROG]

This is an early heads up prior to our official announcement. We've been under Nvidia NDA until the GTX 670MX launched last week, but now we're still under ASUS NDA (which I'm breaking.. but with good reason imo) so please understand I can't really answer more questions.

For those who are contemplating a G75VW now, please take this info to help your buying decision: whether you want to buy a G75 now because it suits your needs and you need one now, or, wait for the G75VX and it's slight upgrades. Official announcement is about a month away, but depending on how long the G75 took to get to your region after that was announced, use that as a guide as to when you'll see the VX.

All I can say now is that the G75VX will feature the GTX 670MX (Google the performance relative to GTX 670M and see if it matters to you) and maybe you want to see here for another idea of what to expect, but I will stress to ignore any illusion of pricing you see until it's all properly confirmed.

However believe it or not we've still managed to keep a couple of other supplementary hardware upgrades secret, and for that you'll have to wait til later (or I really will lose my job). 😄

man, that sucks. I've literally been waiting for this laptop for what seems like a year now. I suppose I could get the one from amazon.ca, however I was really hoping to get it configured at XoticPC with (among other things) a 72% NTSC Color Gamut Matte screen, i7-3740QM, and 3 SDDs (removing the optical drive and replacing it with a hd caddy). I suppose the latter I could pull off, but certainly not the CPU or screen upgrade on my own...

😧

A new G75 better be announced at CES and then released by February the latest, or I'm just gonna have to settle.

Yeah me too. I've been following this thread since it started waiting for the laptop to come out.

Now I need to decide. Do I just try to get one from Canada? Or do I wait for CES and see if they come up with something better?

I just e-mailed the person in charge of laptop SKU's in N.America and asked for confirmation.

I'll post their reply on the forum.

The million dollar questions! Whatever happens at CES, I think the US won't be seeing any new models until February at the earliest.
