Asus G751J (G-Sync) review: A great gaming laptop adds Nvidia G-Sync

The flagship Asus gaming laptop adds Nvidia G-Sync, which makes games look smoother without sacrificing performance.

Asus adds Nvidia G-Sync technology for smoother gameplay. The hefty keyboard is great for gaming, and high-end CPU/GPU combo delivers killer performance, even when outputting to a 4K display.

The clunky design feels out of date compared to newer, slimmer gaming laptops, especially for this price. The display resolution is capped at 1,920x1,080 and is not a touchscreen.

While still expensive, the Asus G751 remains one of our favorite gaming laptops, especially now that it adds Nvidia's G-Sync, making games look better without taking a performance hit.

Asus ROG G751 ( G-Sync)

Asus ROG G751JY-DH72X

It may not have absolute top gaming benchmark scores, but the Asus ROG G751JY-DH72X is a competitive high-end gaming laptop that outclasses its rivals on features and price.

Excellent 3D performance, even at extreme-quality settings. 32GB of memory. 512GB SSD + 1TB hard drive storage. Lots of ports. 802.11ac Wi-Fi.

No touch screen. Middling battery life.

So how does the Asus ROG G751JY-DH72X end up on top? By beating the former Editors' Choice Origin EON17-SLX on price (the Asus rig is $700 less), better ergonomics, double the system memory, and much more storage (1.5TB vs. 990GB). The G751JY-DH72X is...

Asus G751 review: Nvidia's latest mobile graphics push games at 4K

Thanks to a new graphics card, this bulky laptop turns in some of our fastest mobile gaming scores ever.

The Asus G751 has excellent performance, can drive games at 4K resolution, and includes a few handy shortcut keys gamers will appreciate.

You could buy about a dozen game consoles for what this costs. Battery life and design are stuck in the past. You'll need an external 4K TV or monitor for the highest-res gaming.

One of the first laptops that can drive games at 4K resolutions, the Asus G751 is an expensive but capable alternative to gaming desktops.

Asus ROG G751JY-DH72X

The first one of these 4K-friendly laptops we've tested is the Asus G751, a hulking 17-inch box that combines a high-end Core i7 CPU, a surprising 24GB of RAM, a big 256GB SSD paired with a 1TB 7,200rpm HDD, and finally, the new GeForce 980M GPU. This...

The ASUS Republic of Gamers G751 Review: G-SYNC Comes To The Notebook Computer

At Computex 2015, NVIDIA announced what will almost certainly be one of their marquee features on gaming notebooks going forward, with NVIDIA'S G-SYNC variable display refresh rate technology coming to notebooks. We'll dive into this more in a bit, but...

Overall, I’ve really enjoyed my time with the ASUS G751. It offers plenty of power, a good display, and is among the first laptops to offer the supurb game smoothing capabilities of G-SYNC. It is certainly not inexpensive at $2150 as tested, to $2650...

Asus G751JY G-Sync Notebook Review

Synchronization complete. Nvidia's G-Sync technology promises a smooth gaming experience without annoying screen tearing. We could examine this feature for the first time in Asus' G751JY. Has the venerable V-Sync completed its service?

Bright, high-contrast IPS screen, Moderate noise development, Generous touchpad, First-rate performance, Backlit keyboard, Decent build, Rich sound, PCIe x4 SSD, Thunderbolt, G-Sync

Battery and fan not directly accessible, Sensitive soft-touch surfaces, Slightly unfavorable interface distribution, Relatively high idle consumption, Throttling under full load, Limited opening angles, Mediocre battery life, High weight, Bulky chassis

The "inspection" confirmed the impressions of our first review. Of course, the G751JY has its shortcomings. In addition to the unfavorable interface positioning, the short battery life and high weight of approximately 4.2 kilograms could be listed on...

Asus G751JY-T7009H Notebook Review

Gaming champion 2014. Asus now uses the GTX 980M as well and offers a very successful and extremely fast ROG gaming notebook in a reworked 17-inch chassis. MSI's GT72 2QE is one rival with even better specifications, but the top version is also 50%...

Very stylish case with a good build quality, Maintenance cover, Vivid and bright display with wide viewing angles, Thunderbolt port, 4x USB 3.0, "Gigabit WLAN", dual-band, good signal quality, Excellent input devices, Extremely fast, Good Turbo...

Heavy and bulky, Soft-touch surfaces attract fingerprints, Lid appears unstable, Replacing the battery is not easy, Fans only accessible after disassembly, No recovery DVDs, No Optimus support..., ...and therefore unnecessarily short battery runtimes

We think the Asus G751JY-T7009H is the best 17-inch gaming notebook in 2014 with a comparatively good price-performance ratio for the high-end segment. The top version of the MSI GT72 does offer more memory and ports, a RAID configuration with four...
