G75VX now listed on BestBuy.com website - Stock should be arriving in stores shortly.

[madnj]

All,
I'm probably going to pull the trigger on a G75VX to add to my current G75 (wife needs a laptop). Here's the issue... The spec sheet for the BestBuy model is showing the Graphics as GTX670M not GTX670MX.

Can someone help confirm that this is getting the MX graphics? I can see no reason why they'd be selling an old architecture 670m in their new VX model unless it's just ASUS trying to get rid of supply.

I was really looking forward to the potential of the 670MX, but the spec sheet doesn't show. Is this a typo?

Most software programs designed for a 32-bit operating system will work on the 64-bit version, with the exception of many antivirus programs. However, if a program is designed for a 64-bit operating system, it is not backwards-compatible with a 32-bit version.

Device drivers designed for a 32-bit system will not work on computers running a 64-bit operating system. Similarly, drivers designed for a 64-bit system will not work with a 32-bit version.

It's not the first time they list the vx...they did it like 3 months ago, and removed it, for the same price as well. They wouldn't sell a vx at pretty much the same price of the BBK5....they will remove it soon most likely

it's also possible that they (msft and best buy) are holding the release until their current stock of G75VW sells out. In that case ASUS would have no idea when the product will be available for consumer purchase

[Tomislav]

well I have an vx but I'm in Europe so suck it Americans ( just kidding ). All vx's have the mx card...When I bought mine, 670m was listed on the website , but when I called they checked and told me it was mx. Also I think that all vx's have thunderbolt, but not the ac wireless ( mine doesn't)... as for other issues: sound is fine for me ( no headphones/sub woofer interference)... the most expensive model comes with ssd, 16 gb of ram, 3D display,blue ray player and ac wireless. But this is on European market, so I'm not sure if they will be shipping the same models to USA.

I went to Best Buy and Microsoft Store websites. No one in the US has the G75VX yet. Have contacted a few vendors and they all say they are still waiting for thr G75VX to be released...Why does everyone else have it?

Amazon is already selling the VX with 670MX.

Yep and it's got the Best Buy SKU codes.

Funny, Amazon get's Best Buy's units before Best Buy get's its own, lol.

G75VX-BHI7N09 is this a equipped version thunderbolt version?

[Williamtell]

Thanks Sinless. I didn't buy from Amazon since I wanted more options. Special ordered from www.HIDevolution.com as they have them in stock. They're getting conflicting information if it has Thunderbolt so the one I ordered may or may not have it. It's still gonna be sweet regardless.
