Talk me out of this laptop...

[ssssssBOOM]

I'm thinking about upgrading from a G73jh Best Buy edition. (HD5870m, 740qm?)

To this G75.

Is this going to be a worthwhile improvement for the money?

Thanks, guys.

Dang thats a baller ass laptop. But Nvidia Maxwell is due out in the Springtime.
I would go for the 14nm shrink of Haswell, BROADWELL.
Battery life should be amazing on them.

For that price you might wanna consider something nicer looking like MSI laptops

The G75 is a very nice Lappy.

Yea I would take the ASUS over an MSI definitely.
If you can wait a little while I don't think you will regret waiting.

This thing will always be plugged in anyway. I only used my G73 unplugged once in the last three years. I think it lasted 45 minutes!

I like the way G series lappy's look.

Thx.

Same. I know MSI is a good brand, but ASUS is also TOP notch.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I'm going to get it I guess. Wife gave the green light. (buying her an iPad Air probably helped...)

I'll watch this thread one more day, just in case someone can link something better.

Thanks again!

"This thing will always be plugged in anyway. I only used my G73 unplugged once in the last three years. I think it lasted 45 minutes!"

Why not just build a desktop then? You could build a faster desktop for less money than that laptop, especially if it never gets moved or unplugged?

I never said it wouldn't be moved. I said it would always be plugged in. It's nice to have a portable beast when I need it. Besides, I already built a tricked out desktop.
