I just got my new G75VW-RS72 today!!! COULD NOT BE HAPPIER. i7 3610- 16gig Ram-- 120gb Intel 520 SSD --750gb Seagate Momentus XT
I have to admit during the wait till it arrived I kept reading the threads and thinking OMG I hope I did not make a mistake. So far nothing to complain about at all. Excellent quality all the way around!
The only thing I have noticed is that the GPU fan seems to running at an uneeded level especially compared to the CPU side (which is so quiet I thought it was broke at first, till I ran Prime). But it is definately is not loud enough to be annoying just seems to run higher for no reason. Anyone know why that is?
Anyone who is thinking about buying a G75- Do not get put off by these threads. As with most reviews on the internet you always see more complaints than praise. Excellent machine so far.
I will update if something goes wrong, but I would like to know why the GPU fan runs noticeably higher than needed.

My machine is 5 weeks old now and just a screamer!
I am not a gamer although I do have Crysis on it ... the machine is an absolute beast. Along with the gaming crowd any serious geek will want this machine and maybe even develop some minor muscles hauling it around.
The on board dual hard drive setup combined with still having a DVD drive and easy RAM upgrades and the top CPU and top GPU and top display make this an excellent machine for developers/DBAs etc.
Nice having a fast SSD for bootup and OS stuff and another measly 1 TB in a second drive for data/storage virtual machines whatever floats your boat.
For me the only minor annoyance is/was the audio driver subwoofer thing which for me is almost fixed with 10500B!
Personally I think the best choice ( unless one really needs 3d ... no way for me ) is the best buy model followed by an immediate SSD upgrade and ( maybe ) a RAM upgrade if you really need more than 8 gb. Most people will do the RAM upgrade anyway since it is so inexpensive even if they do not need it.
