Thank you, though I already know about the G751 series, I'm leaning toward that in fact
however, seeing as G771 and G551, especially the G551, are cheaper, and GTX860m is actually fine for me since I don't really go for ultra setting for games and most games i play don't even need best gpu 😃
so It's all coming down to about the cooling system, how do they compare to the G751?

pcshano, we had only one report so far, and it wasn't good if you need to do heavy duty computing, as their G771 required reducing the multipliers to get under the Thermal Throttling limit:

The G751 fares better, unless you load both CPU/GPU under the heaviest stress, unlikely in most gaming situations, but some have still experienced fleeting Thermal Throttling with some games:

The G750 frame still has the best cooling, I am assuming the newly announced G750JY also has the same cooling, here is the G750JY page at Asus:
http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/G750JY/
There are some G750JY's out for sale now, but it isn't available everywhere.
And, if you don't need heavy duty 980m graphics, you can still find the G750JW/JX/JH new/used - all without Optimus, or the G750JM/JS/JZ with Optimus.

what you said about G750JY sounds good, but I can't find it anywhere off ebay/newegg/amazon or even custom site like xoptic
I've looked into the G750J series, and also thinking about it, the removable battery is also appealing... the only thing that held me back is it's a little hard to find new ones cheap, consider the price between G751 and G750 are pretty close

pcshano, the G750JY isn't out for wide release yet, only in the Romania(?), hopefully it will be here soon for the places you mentioned. You need to do a Google search on G750JY it will find the only places it is on sale. Currency exchange indicates it will be less expensive than the G751, but that may only be in that region.
Live near Romania? 🙂

Here are the discussion threads covering the G750JY so far:

Asus G750JY real? G750 with GTX 980M

If you need to get a G750 now, you will have to hunt down a place that has them new, not just Amazon, or look for used ones on ebay/Amazon - the prices for the G750's are still high because they are in demand. The most recent G750JM/JS/JZ have Optimus, and the G750JW/JX/JH are more desirable for some without Optimus.
If you can wait, and don't mind Optimus, the G750JY might be worth the wait, but we don't know. Initial production teething issues are always present with new ROG laptops, so be prepared to deal with it, or get an older one that has the driver issues worked out.
Good luck!, and please come back and let us know what you found and ended up getting 🙂
