I bought an ASUS G750JW last July. I liked the power the machine had but I had nothing but problems with it: the display flickers at anything but maximum brightness, the subwoofer went out, USB devices kept freezing up periodically, etc. And frankly, I think ASUS's support sucks. Their automatic update software doesn't even work. I ended up getting a cash out from Best Buy for warranty work and grabbed the newer ASUS G750JM.
The problem is I'm already wondering if maybe I should just drop ASUS like a bad habit. The G750JW was the second system I'd gotten from them that was kind of a bust; I'd also had the TF201 tablet, which many people consider a disaster.
All the money is tied up in Best Buy so whatever I get it has to be from them, but I have until mid next week to return the G750JM. I was wondering if anybody has any opinions on which would be the better option. Should I stick with this:
ASUS G750JM
Or should I get away from ASUS and move on to this?
MSI - GT70 Dominator-895
I'm pretty sure the MSI is more powerful, but just set that aside and tell me which you think will hold up better/receive better support. I've never had any MSI equipment before, but all the complete ASUS systems I've had so far have been disappointing and their support is awful.
P.S.: Just want to add that I think the ASUS G-series laptops have crappy speakers, and reviews tend to agree. Anybody know how MSI's audio equipment stacks up?
