At $1300, I think you will be able to get a lot more computer in a G74 than with a G75. So unless the G75 has some must-have feature you want, I'd go for a more fully-loaded G74.

I think you must wait, G75 will have a Kepler GPU, a Ivy Bridge CPU, and a better size and design:

Also you have two fan doors for maintenance.

Wait G75, IMHO 😉

Wrong, GTX670m on G75 is still the same 40nm fermi architechture as GTX560m on G74sx, with the same old 192bit memory. Hence the "New" GTX 670m is more than likely to be slightly faster than GTX 570m http://support.asus.com/ServiceCenter.aspx?SLanguage=en

With that being said, other than a more power efficient Ivy Bridge CPU compare to current SandyBridge i7, you will pretty much get a rebadged "New" GPU from Nvidia.

Performance wise, G75 will definately win over G74 by a noticable margin. But what about value? You will be buying a new product at launch price that will asks for couple hundreds dollars more.

Don't follow the crowd and hype, evaluate what you really need before consider a purchase.

ps: For myself I will not be buying Nvidia's smart product naming strategy this time arround, and I will be waiting for a REAL next gen GPU on board.

1. The GPU is not confirmed; the 670m GPU in the link is a rapresentative GPU for a simple demostration, not the GPU for the definitly product; this because kepler is not released when the note was presented. Also the 670m has all software feature of Kepler, TXAA, Auto sync, GPU boost, ecc... not performed on 570m;
2. Ivy bridge is better than Sandy bridge;
3. A noticable margin? I don't think so...

Which hype? Today there are few news on G75!

The GTX 660m is a "very" kepler, the 680m too! G75 will have a 660m:

G73 + 460m

G74 + 560m

G75 + 660m

Have you understand?

P.s. 16 GB Ram clocked to 1600 MHz?
1.5 TB to HDD?
Dual fan with manteinance door for each one?
"Slightly higher"??? 😄

It might be better on white paper & tech specs, but knowing how Intel is, the damn thing will be buggy for a good year or so before becoming stable enough for "hardcore" usage.
