Notes before buying G751 series

[X-ROG]

Somethings to look out for in addition to our upgrade guide (published on Weds 22nd Oct):

> When buying an SSD model, take note that it's SATA or PCIE. PCIE is 2x faster than SATA. Only models with M.2 pre-fitted will be supported with an M.2 bracket. We will not provide upgrade support for models purchased without M.2 initially sorry.

> M.2 slot supports up to PCI-E 4x cards (like XP941)

> Only one of the drive bays has an optional M.2 slot. Both have SATA ports. You cannot run 2x 2.5" SSD + M.2 for example, but you can run 2x 2.5 inch or 1x 2.5 inch + 1x M.2. (The G771 can run 2x 2.5" + M.2 however!)

> The left drive bay (when flipped over) with both M.2 + SATA ports is the primary.

> Optical drive is held in by a single screw and uses a standard mobile SATA port.

> Remember to buy DDR3L (1.35V memory) when upgrading.

> You only have access to two SO-DIMM slots, so if you want to max out your memory (32GB) you have to buy a 16GB model to start with.

> You do not have access to the WiFi module.

> GTX 860M model is the only one with touchscreen.

> All models use IPS Full HD displays. 120/144Hz displays are supported over HDMI/DP (VG248Q for example).

> Four display outputs can all be used at once: laptop display + HDMI, DP and d-sub together.

> Each suffix-SKU (-DS/-CH/etc) spec is decided by country/retailer, not ASUS - please contact them, rather than ASUS, to confirm specific spec details. "what memory?" "what SSD?" etc

Really, no one? I can't be the only one with this issue 😞

Is this still a problem? Probably not after 5 months.

If I remember right, I used a nerf bullet with the plastic cone chopped off for securing my SSD in one of the HDD trays in my G750. Honestly as long as you get something to hold the SSD secure against the sata port, thats all you need. Just something to fill the gap and allow the lid to screw back on. Normally the laptop should never really be jarred or thrown around where it could be a problem. Even a piece of cut Styrofoam should do the trick just fine. This was never an issue for the way I had mine hooked up and it was that way for a couple years before I sold it.

I just bought a G751JT-CH71 laptop and almost maxed out my hard drive. I just want another HDD because i dont have any intention to use SSD. Im thinking of getting this:
