I have just spent $3100 dollars for a new G751JY-DH72X. + $150 for a licensed Windows 7, because G751 comes with Windows 8.1 preinstalled which a true joke from Microsoft. I have found out that Asus even doesn't provide drivers for Windows 7.
$3100? you over paid! I got mine cheaper than that and shipped half way around the world to my door!
The fact you consider Windows 8.1 to be a joke, but offer absolutely no backing to that argument just proves you clearly haven't even put time into adjusting to it. I find Windows 8.1 works perfectly on this laptop. Got no issue with it and just use the Metro UI for nothing more than my start menu which I love! other than that it runs just like windows 7 for me, with my awesome backgrounds being covered by lots of open windows........
Having a most expensive laptop out there on hand I'm expecting excellent support from Asus as well. Apparently Asus does not have any plans to support their customers if these guys even doesn't provide drivers for OS other than 8.1.
I am very excited that you might be able to point us all to the Asus released documentation telling you that Windows 7 is supported by the company. If Asus never made such claims, then you only have yourself to blame for downgrading from Windows 8.1 to Windows 7 without first checking the suitability to that move!
SO, are we expecting and extended driver selection list from Asus in near future? Because I don't want to start hacking drivers today if Asus will post drivers for Windows 7 later. Asus if your are reading this then please provide drivers for at least Windows 7.
Why should they spend time developing drivers for the odd grumpy person like you, who takes rash actions before researching the potential outcome. The only driver support required is for Windows 8+ and Windows 10 (which btw runs perfectly!)
P.S. Windows 8/8.1 is a OS for child, it is not professional OS and not suitable for serious sh*t. I've got this laptop to be a professional work machine with capability of gaming when I want it, 3d modeling, software development and programming, science, NOT a tablet for browsing an internet and sitting in the facebook or twitter.
Comments like this, claiming an OS is for a child makes me think you are a child yourself. Did mummy buy that laptop for you for Xmas?
The fact you've purchased a gaming designed laptop for a professional work machine as your primary usage makes me laugh so hard, my tummy rumbles!
Guess what. I spend all day working from home on my Asus g751 72X, I consider that to be "serious sh*t", where I to do development. I did the same work on my old slow machine before as well but upgraded to G751 because of the gaming experience.
Visual studio works perfectly in windows 8.1 (shocking I know! microsoft products working in a microsoft product....) as does SSMS. All my photography app work brilliantly and quick on this laptop..... Running in windows 8.1 still!.
I just think you need to get out some more. You are clearly one of those people who allows their opinions to be formed by the media and forum posters who do nothing but spread hate! You don't form your own opinion, you lack experience and research skills, and you make choices that you keep regretting! Grow up!
