Hi all. I recently purchased a new G752VS, and I'm loving it. However, I do have some questions.
As far as a 17" laptop goes, this is probably the biggest "17" there is. My currently 17" bag isn't big enough. This laptop does just barely fit in width wise, but depth wise it's probable 2 inches too deep. Any suggestions on a laptop bag that works? I don't really want just a sleeve, but a cross-body style bag. I don't travel a ton, but I have a metered internet connection so I do take my laptop once a month to somewhere with WiFi for patching.
The speakers are pretty crappy, even for a laptop. I honestly don't care much at all since I wear headphones for gaming, but is there anything to improve it a bit for things like Skype? I didn't really find any sort of equalizer program to adjust any part of the sound.
Is there a program from Asus to manage the fan speed? The only time I really want something like this is when I want to shutdown/suspend the laptop right after a long session of gaming. If I can run the fans on high for a minute, I feel better about shutting it down knowing that it's not heat soaked.
My PSU will pop the GFCI outlet every time. At first, I plugged my new laptop in the kitchen to watch it do the setup thing while I made lunch. As long as this PSU is plugged into a GFCI outlet, it will pop instantly. You might think "just don't plug it into the kitchen", well it still pops that GCFI even when I'm in the near-by living room. However, it only pops that kitchen GFCI when I plug my laptop in in the living room outlet, but I can at least reset the outlet after that. The hardest part here is that these are 100% different circuits. They do, along with all other circuits in the house, share the same ground and neutral rails. It's concerning for me. I was thinking of opening a ticket for this. My assumption is that it's trying to auto-sense the voltage 110 or 220, and briefly must leak some current to the neutral side.
Any other tips you all can give about this laptop, or Asus in general? I mean like I keep finding like things installed on my laptop that I didn't know came with. I did download the manual though since manufactures no long want to print them.
Thanks everyone. I'm very pleased with this laptop, and I'm hoping to make it last a little long than my usual 3 year cycle of new laptops.
UPDATE: I went with this bag. Works great.
