Fast, Sexy, Cool and Super Quiet! Reviews ASUS Republic of Gamers G75VW-AS71 17.3-Inch Gaming Laptop

I've had my ASUS Republic of Gamers G75VW-AS71 about three months now. It's been a solid performer. Gaming performance is great as long as the machine is plugged in. The backlit keyboard is very nice, and the touchpad buttons have a very nice damped, luxury car feel.

Rubberized coating is warm and pleasant, but shows fingerprints. Default install is relatively bloat free and I didn't feel the need to wipe and re-install the operating system. After owning an ASUS G75VW-AS71 for about three months, I am already extremely happy about my purchase.

After doing a lot of research before buying, this ASUS G75VW-AS71 seemed to be an incredible deal and had the best specs out of all of the gaming laptops in the $1,200-$1,700 price range, as most of the "higher end" brands with the same load-out where at least $500 higher. That is not saying there aren't any flaws, but most are cosmetic, or are very easy to live with.

The computer runs very quiet and looks like a professional/nerdy mix of materials and design. I would also like to emphasize that I did lots of research before arriving at this laptop. I found that it had minimal negative reviews with many good ones that matched my graphical expectations and price point.

While some people may complain about the hefty size of the computer or the large AC adapter brick that accompanies the unit, you must remember that this ASUS Republic of Gamers G75VW-AS71 is a desktop replacement gaming laptop and it serves its role admirably. I would strongly recommend this laptop to anyone looking for a gaming powerhouse laptop without breaking the bank and is willing to sacrifice portability for power.

ASUS Republic of Gamers G75VW-AS71 17.3-Inch Gaming Laptop Pro's:

• Great screen. The anti-glare finish is very nice and does it's job very well. I've seen many that were advertised to be didn't do a very good job. Looks better while gaming than it does.
• This rig is seriously fast. Even with the stock 7200rpm drive it only takes about 15 seconds to boot to the login screen. I have been playing sever very graphics heavy games on it and I have been impressed with its performance.
• The cooling system is great. I haven't tried to clean the filters yet, but it seems to be pretty easy and a very nice feature. The fact that when cleaned on a regular basis, dust wont choke out the fans and heatsinks makes for a longer lifespan.

I love the backlit keyboard,and the hotkey setup, another thing is the USB 3.0 with the smart charge port, this port charges my cell phone in about half the time of the standard 2.0 ports. and will also charge when the laptop is turned off and unplugged.
