1.0 out of 5 starsI believe ASUS is using poor quality motherboards and/or components in their relatively well priced ...

Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2017

Capacity: 1 TB HDDVerified Purchase

Upon receiving this device, the motherboard was faulty causing intermittent graphics issues. I sent the device in for repair, and it returned with a similar issue. 2 years later the bluetooth is no longer working. I purchased another ROG laptop a bit later, and it is experiencing the same bluetooth issues conveniently after the warranty has expired. I contacted support a number of times, and ASUS was not accommodating. I purchased the device because I needed it immediately. I expressed to ASUS customer service that my need for a replacement computer immediately, however, I was told no, and had to send the laptop into the warranty department and wait TWO weeks for it to be returned. It was returned with the same issue!!! I had no choice at the time, but to accept the faulty screen tearing graphic's issues as a new part of my life :). The decision to not contact Amazon for an immediate return and refund eventually led to a computer exhibiting faulty behavior in many areas of Windows not isolated to the graphics errors before eventually having critical hardware failures of bluetooth, wireless, and graphics. To put this in perspective, I purchased a Dell laptop that lasted 10 years under considerably rougher usage conditions. The Dell laptop was only replaced for a processor and graphics card upgrade/update, not because of faulty hardware.

I believe ASUS is using poor quality motherboards and/or components in their relatively well priced laptops. I had been a long time fan of ASUS products, and considered them a leader in the sector of computer hardware and components, however, I recommend not purchasing from ASUS now or at any point in the future regardless of their past prestige whether real or imagined.

I warmly hope this review reaches you, and makes you smile :)

Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2018

Capacity: 1 TB HDDVerified Purchase

As a veteran IT guy, I know how to properly take care of a laptop... however within the three years I've had this machine, I've had to purchase a new battery because it stopped holding a charge MUCH sooner than it should have, a new power adapter because the original one just stopped working, a new LCD screen because the old one just stopped working for no reason, and now it's pending me dropping $400 on a MOTHERBOARD because it no longer recognizes a wifi card nor will display anything on the LCD. I've always recommended ASUS to everyone, but I've had sooo many problems out of this one, in good conscious, I no longer can. For a $1200 laptop (at the time of purchase), I'm having to spend half that within a three year period because the issues that happened YEARS before they should have, weren't covered by the manufacturer's warranty...

1.0 out of 5 starsnothing broke and everything works as good as new

Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2015

Capacity: 1 TB HDD + 128GB SSDVerified Purchase

Update: The hard drive went kaput after 16 months, I lost a lot of data.I bought a new hard drive, same SSD as the original, but now it's been a month since the fix and it frequently crashes and often fails to boot unless I go mess with the bios.It's pretty close to dead.In the last 25 years, most of my computing components, desk top computers, and laptops usually last at least 5 years.This was a mid/high end product at the time of purchase and it is very disappointing to have a 18 month life span.Asus used to mean quality and longevity, that trust is gone.Downgraded to 1 star.

Below is the original review, keeping that the same.
Had this for more than six months now, nothing broke and everything works as good as new.

First the negatives:
When it was new, one of the keys didn't press down all the way, it works, but one of the corners on that key didn't go down at all and it was super annoying.So I had to pop it out and trim a tiny piece off in that corner to fix it.Not a big deal if you have ever popped off a key before, but might be annoying to some.That is really the only thing wrong with it quality wise.

Switching between the integrated and Nvidia graphics had some issues in the past, but a driver update fixed it.

There are minor annoyances with the keyboard lighting, but that is really getting down the to nitty gritty.

It didn't have the option to use Win7, but that's more a Win8 issue than a laptop issue.I installed a UI shell right away and been happy enough ever since.

That's really it on the things that bothered me at all.Given the price and the overall performance and experience, I do not feel this warranted taking off any stars.

The overall experience:
The laptop is a good mid range gaming computer and good enough to handle most of the current games at mid graphics settings.I haven't tried the latest and greatest FPS on it, the most I use this for are some MMOs and MOBAS, but it handles them without any problems.Besides high end games and high end CAD usage, it will handle anything else for a typical home or office user.

For daily work and home usage: MS Office suite, light CAD work, web surfing, watching videos, etc, it doesn't break a sweat.

I am very happy with the decision to spring for the SSD plus 1T HDD, it starts up WIN8 in about 10 seconds and I have not experienced the stutters that I've felt with every other laptop I owned before.I believe that the computer should be waiting for me, and never the other way around.Higher end desktops with SSD will also give similar experience, but this is the first laptop where it's been true.So quite happy about that.If the price difference is not a big issue, I would definitely recommend it.

The screen is sharp, but it is only 15 inches, I knew that going in.And I have not had any issues with it in any lighting condition.I never used it outside on a sunny day, but near a window in Starbucks on a sunny day was no issue.Haven't noticed any dead pixles, I checked very carefully when it was new, and although I didn't do the same check before writing the review, I've never noticed any during regular usage.Lately, it's been hooked up to an external 27 inch display, and the performance was not affected at all, even though the resolution is much higher.I was happily surprised by that.

The speakers are above average for a laptop; and on an absolute scale, they are good, but not great.Even though I bought some nice external speakers for home use, I would say the speakers are good enough that I didn't have to if I didn't want to.

Battery performance was average, I got around 3 hours offline using office software and around 2 hours if playing games.Not terrific, but it's in line with what I expect for a gaming laptop.

Cooling has not been an issue even after 6 months, it's barely warm to the touch when not gaming, and warm but not hot when gaming.It's noticeably better than other laptops I've owned before.

I was never a fan of any touch pad, the one on this laptop works well enough for what it is.I try to use a mouse whenever possible.

There are enough ports for what I use it for, and the wireless works as expected, these are things that are good by virtue of never becoming an issue.

It's not upgraded to Win10 yet, but that's more because of my feelings about MS than with the laptop.

Muy poderosa para su precio, probablemente lo mejor que pude haber encontrado para el uso que le doy. He tenido dos problemas: me ha dado pantalla azul mas de 5 veces en los 2 meses que la he tenido, y dejó de funcionar la luz del teclado por unos dias hasta que instalé una actualización de asus.
Adobe Premier lo corre increible, y he corrido perfectamente juegos como counter strike, RWC4, etc. Se quedan facilmente las huellas digitales cuando tocas la computadora por el exterior e interior, dificil de limpiar.

5.0 out of 5 starsLaptop of my dreams!

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2012

Verified Purchase

I researched laptops for a month before I bought my ASUS G75VW-DS72.I'm a video shooter/editor and I was tired of the lags and skips on hi-def AVI files.I ordered the ASUS from Amazon and hoped for the best. I received it it the mail five days before I expected it.

WOW did I do some awesome research.This laptop is SCREAMING FAST. My previous laptop was pretty fast, it rendered a 10 minute DV-AVI in about 20 minutes.My new ASUS renders the same 10 minute video in less than 2 minutes!POW!

I won't miss the bluescreen of death once a month that I'd come to expect with my previous model (VAIO).No disrespect, my VAIO was a real pal, a trooper that got me through MANY edits, but its newest reviews didn't impress me.

I am so happy with my new ASUS that I render movies I don't even need...just to watch the progress bar fly to the right.This laptop was clearly designed for gamers, but it's perfect for my video productions.

I have found all pros and no cons with my new ASUS.There is much joy in my heart each time I lift the lid.

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat laptop....but!!!!....SEE UPDATE!

Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2012

Verified Purchase

I received this laptop yesterday and was drooling to get it out of the box and fired up.I was immediately impressed with the looks and feel of this machine.I got the battery loaded, plugged it in and turned it on.I then went through all the new startup menus and got to my desktop, so far so good as I was loving everything about it.Then, once I started playing with all the cool programs preloaded by ASUS, the trouble started.I kept getting a screen blanking and message saying that my video driver recovered from a failure or something along those lines.So, I thought, I probably need to update the drivers and all that normal new computer stuff.Once I got to NVIDIA's web site, I come to learn that the graphics card in this machine doesn't have any drivers out for it yet!!!HUH?Yep, NVIDIA put out the GTX 670M graphics card with no extablished drivers for it.After reading the forums, there is still no date given for when the drivers will be available.They have the drivers for the Linux OS but not for Win 7/XP. So, those of you that are wanting a "turnkey" system right out of the box will be dissapointed as I was to discover that you will have to wait an undetermined amount of time for drivers to support the card in this laptop.As it sits now, can't even play the current games on the lowest video settings without screen blanking and even blue-screen/system restarts.I'm sure that once the drivers are out, this system will be a gamer's dream but till then.......I'm keeping my finger's crossed.

UPDATE:Today is 6/28/2012 and I just got my laptop back from ASUS after sending it to them on the 19th.IT IS A FREAKING BEAST !!!!.They replaced the GPU in the system as the original one was obviously bad.Now it is running great with none of the issues I was having before with the screen blanking and driver recovery popup notices.I have only run the Windows Experience Index so far as I haven't downloaded a benchmark tool yet but it gave me 7.4's on both of the graphics tests where before it was only giving me 1.0's.I'm currently installing SWTOR on here and am excited to see how the game plays on maxed settings.So far everything about this system now seems to be exactly as I had hoped it would be when I ordered it.I now can only hope that the ssue I had with the GPU was a limited fluke in just a few of those cards and the rest of the machines out there are just fine.I'll post a new update once I've run some different games with maxed setting and let you games know how it performs....but so far it looks like it will be just as all the other reviews are that you can find on YouTube for this system.

I read a great deal on this laptop and most reviews were negative with freeze-ups, bluescreens of death and no drivers for the vidio card....Awsome machine, well constructed, chicklet back lit keyboard, sounds good (not great) more memeory on the vidiocard than most laptops have period. I have played games with no slow down or freezing. I have streamed movies not only on the laptop but through the laptop to the TV. No connection problems with my wireless Netgear router nor my bluray player. Wish the battery lasted a bit longer but in game mode with back lighting on dosen't last more than 2 hours. (buy a 2nd btry). Overall if you are not into the laptop for gaming you need much less than this for alot less bucks but if you want THE machine and do not want to spend the bucks on aleinware, or MSI then you may want to consider the ASUS.
This is my 7 month update, Still impressed with this monster. The fans remain quiet even after all this time. Glad I ignored the initial reviews I would buy this again with no hesitatation what-so-ever!

1.0 out of 5 starsNice if it works

Reviewed in Canada on February 2, 2014

Verified Purchase

I bought one of these in Oct 2012.It can me in two days instead of the 4 they said it would take (nice) and was left sitting on my doorstep in plain view, with a shipping label attached that actually listed the entire package contents!I'm amazed that it was still there when I got home!What would have happened if it was just gone and I never got it?No signature to receive a $2K item?Ok.

Out of the box it worked well.In fact, for exactly one year, it worked well.The only issue with it was that the "subwoofer" is notoriously difficult to use.The sound is greatly enhanced with it active, but it is not controlled by the main system volume control.If you plug in headphones, the subwoofer still plays sound, so you have to go into your sound device settings and manually turn it down.Super annoying when you want to rip out the headphones to show something to someone.You have to go reset the subwoofer volume EVERY TIME.

In Sept 2013 the real fun began.The laptop now just freezes up randomly.It doesn't matter what it is being used for.It isn't reliable.Safe mode is the only reliable way to use the laptop, which is useless because you can't use sound or video drivers in safe mode.When I was first researching this laptop I didn't find anything about this issue.Now that I am experiencing it, I am seeing forum posts everywhere about this issue with ASUS laptops, though most don't seem to have the extreme problem that I am having.

The laptop will freeze up during the boot process, making recovery impossible.Every attempt to reinstall windows is met with failure.Restore isn't able to finish because the crap machine won't run for more that a couple minutes (which is a long time) without just locking up.The four recovery discs the machine demands you burn don't do anything at all no matter how I try to use them; pre boot, triggered from menu,

When I first got it, I would have recommended it to anyone.Now that I've had the pleasure of using it for a while, I would never buy another ASUS product, nor would I suggest anyone else to even consider it.Search google for "ASUS laptop freezes randomly" and you will see thread after thread of people having these problems with ASUS machines.

TL;DR - Piece of crap machine that is going back to the factory

Reviewed in Canada on October 17, 2012

This purchase through Amazon was a first for me because of all the 'bad knocks' about being stuck with junk purchased on/through the Net,in general. Purchasing through Amazon was a GREAT experience and 'yes' I would do it again.

The product. What can I say,ASUS (in my mind is GREAT)and they certainly didn't let me down with this one. The wieght of it made me adapt an 'apposing corners' handling/lifting the Laptop. When I picked it up by the sides I popped the gard off the DVD player but managed to pop that back in place.
The only other thing I have noticed,to date,is the installation of five(5) Control Active X programs,all the same Product Version from MS Corp. BUT none of them in English. MS Corp. should be able to answer this question.

I'm off to visit family and friends in AB & SK for a week or so and I'm quite sure it will be tested when my Grandson gets his mits on it.

Have a GREAT day and give it your 'all',unless you have to go to the Bank for a loan to do it.
