Hi.

Im thinking in buy a new gaming laptop.
I like Asus, because was my first gaming laptop.
Im divided between Asus G752VS and the MSI GT73VR 6RE, both with GTX 1070 and I7 6820Hk.
I have read here and in another places reviews telling that the G752VS OC edition have overheat problems, hight temps, and hardware problems like the keyboard.
Are this problems resolved?

Some people here said that GT73VR is better. What do you think?

These are the specs of both models

Asus G752VS

I7 6820Hk
GTX 1070
32Gb ram
1Tb with 512Gb SSd (maybe in raid 0, according asus oficial web site of my country)
17"3 full hd screen, 120Hz, around 74% rgb color (again, according asus oficial web site of my country)
With the laptop came one backpack, asus cerburus headset, asus sica mouse
Price: 2300€

MSI GT73VR 6RE

I7 6820Hk
GTX 1070
16Gb ram
1Tb with 256Gb M2 (i dont know what is M2)
17"3 full hd screen, 120Hz, around 97% rgb color
Price: 2370€

Thanks to all

Just my opinion of course but if you really want an awesome experience dont buy a laptop at all. Does it really have to be portable? None of them are exactly light. None of them perform on battery power, regardless of who makes it and when you do run them as hard as they will go (which is about half throttle) you get 45 mins tops out of a full charge.

If you are just looking for a small form factor consider the G20 series.

If you are looking for ultimate experience, build your own dektop.

Problem with any high end laptop is heat. The G700 is the only one that comes close to handling it but its a lot to pack around.

I'm glad to hear that you have a solution, but that only raises new questions. I would suspect now that something is possibly wrong with the HDD. Spinning disk is plenty fast enough for games like Oblivion. Try a program like Crystal Disk Mark and see what kind of performance you get from the HDD.

I've had my Asus G751JY for a little over three months now. I've definitely enjoyed my time with it. The first laptop i've ever purchased was the Asus GL502VT. It had horrible overheating issues which I then found out is a huge problem with that laptop. I quickly spend a bit more to upgrade to the Asus G751JY and was not disappointed. However, the first one I bought had a stuck pixel on it which I found out was a common problem. I returned it and got it exchanged. Luckily the second one had a beautiful screen and I was good to go. This is my first laptop i've ever purchased and also it is the most expensive electronic I have ever purchased. It performs like I needed it to, it's amazing. I love the GTX980M performance, and I love the mean look of my laptop.

I also like to do Custom PC builds for people who have a budget in mind but don't know the best things to choose for the computer. Feel free to get in touch with me if you want to build a Wish List.

Merry Christmas!
