Just wanted to say hi. After seeing how awesome this community is by reading through the forums the past couple days I deceided to get me an ASUS instead of the new Y50. I think I made a good decision. Ordered it today and got 3 day shipping so can't wait. Will have plenty of questions though when it comes in.

Which drivers are lacking pokerface? We have been sending people over to the JM download area because it has the newest Windows 8.1 drivers.

Why are you here trashing Asus and G750's anyway?

It isn't cool to troll another manufacturers support forums, being rude to new owners. Naughty naughty 🙂

Hopefully it won't be as bad as everyone is thinking. Trying to be positive lol. Just excited cause I haven't had a computer since 2004 and that was a top of the line Alienware desktop. I have a lot of catching up to do. It's amazing how fast tech moves with or without us.

@pokerface - you need to take your pro alienware garbage rants and get off this forum. You are not welcome here. I've been reading your rants about Alienware garbage and even the moderators want you to leave.

i've owned 2 Asus gaming laptops (G74SX, and G750JH), and 2 dell XPS laptops. The dell xps's kept eating video cards, and cpu's. i've NEVER had any problems with either asus laptop. Even all of my desktops have high end gaming boards. Never one issue.

All Alienware laptops and desktops are is just an overpriced dell. (since dell owns alienware, that makes sense) you get nothing special for another 2 grand. It's the same thing as buying a ford focus and putting a Bentley badge on it. We all know how craptastic Dells are.

now, GTFO. Go over to the Alienware forums. i'm sure they will love you there. Nobody wants your "help"
