So im in the market to get myself a gaming laptop, and ive been set on the Asus g751. Its a powerhouse, and most importantly great at cooling.

However, now there is a newer model of the laptop, the G Sync model.

The G751JY-DH71 is practically $2,000, while the G Sync model G751JY-DB72 is $2,499

The only differences i can see between the two is that the more expensive one has
-a G Sync monitor,
-a 4720 HQ (2.6GHz) as opposed to the 4710HQ (2.5Gz) on the cheaper one,
-802.11ac Wifi as opposed to 802.11a/g/n (I have no clue what the difference is or if it matters),
- DDR3L Ram as opposed to DDR3 Ram (What does that even mean?)
-6X Blu-ray RW as opposed to Blu-ray-enabled DVD±RW/CD-RW (Isnt that the same thing?)
- An extra half hour of battery life (supposedly)
-and a free ROG 100$ Backpack

From what my noob eyes can tell, the differences are....pretty minimal. Only real big diffrenrece is the G sync screen and free backpack. I could really use someone elses input. Is it worth the extra 500$

and could you explain to me more what the differences are?

Thanks in advance

right, i did do that. I listed all of the differences i could find. Im asking what that translates to the in the real world. Performance and what not.
 
-a G Sync monitor, - not to me

-a 4720 HQ (2.6GHz) as opposed to the 4710HQ (2.5Gz) on the cheaper one, - the 4720 is a touch better

-802.11ac Wifi as opposed to 802.11a/g/n (I have no clue what the difference is or if it matters), - not much difference, see https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Wi-Fi

- DDR3L Ram as opposed to DDR3 Ram (What does that even mean?) L - low voltage

-6X Blu-ray RW as opposed to Blu-ray-enabled DVD±RW/CD-RW (Isnt that the same thing?) I'd rather a BD player

- An extra half hour of battery life (supposedly) - would be good

-and a free ROG 100$ Backpack - nice if it was any good.

was asking for "details' like why is the backpack bad? advantages/disadvantages of the two drives, lower voltage by how much, what is the performance cost if any? G sync monitor "not to me"? What does that even mean?

if youre going to post an answer, id appreciate an answer. youre not really helping

G-sync or without g sync the price is the same

G751jt(970m) and g751jy(980m with or without g sync price difference is 500ish

Bags, mouse, other freebies with or without them the price of laptop are all the same..

The only thing that make gsync expensive in a same model laptop is that they put added ssd, a different(minimal differences) processor, upgraded monitor 75hz(not sure). Therefore gsync alone is a free upgrade

this is all part of asus marketing strategy. Putting g sync on more expensive, unnecessary(for some gamer) spec notebook and not on cheaper ones. But I tell you g sync is worth it if you are a hardcore gamer.
