Gaming laptops

[Penfold]

OK blow it, I'll get one of these then. I really like the fact it's got 2 HDD's (I like splitting the op system off the from huge amounts of work data I have). I also think the extra size would be useful for design work and I mostly drive to clients so the weight isn't a major issue.


Just a case of finding one now I guess as they seem hard to come by.

You need a big bright screen to show off all those fabulous looking photographs you have ;-)

Looks like a very nice bit of kit.

I'll second the "hard to find" attribute - I tried to find a powerful Asus when I was last hunting a laptop, but I eventually gave up - scan.co.uk sales guy couldn't source any either so not just me! Where did those of you that own them get them from?

Several websites have them at the moment, so I'm not sure what the problem is in sourcing them.   At that end of the market you have to accept lower volume due to the nature of the product, it's never going  to be a high volume item, so there will be fewer suppliers and less stock out there.   That having been said, I'm still going for the Asus when I bite the bullet and replace my current N55, I loved Ragnarh's laptop and the several I have seen in the past 6 months were seriously top quality.

Simplyasus has 2 of the 3 models of G750 in stock (not the JH top of the range)
Laptopsdirect is listing all 3 available
BT Business Direct 1 in stock, 2 ordered in on request

Bizarrely, given their retail products and reputation, I've found some really good deals via the BT offering in the past 18 months and ended up buying several things from them.

Aye a few sites have them but it's finding the right spec. The one's I've seen don't have the combination of Ram(16gb) and two HDD's I'm looking for (256GB SSD and 1TB Sata).

I'll check out the sites you've suggested -thanks!

RAM can usually be changed, as can HDDs, it's worth calling and asking!

Never dealt with these before, but isn't this the spec you wanted?

Or if you meant you were going for the top end one, then try the better known Asuslaptop.co.uk which lists the G750JH-T4106H as in stock and ready to ship:

or. try this JX again, but ask them to customise the RAM and HDDs (their website says you can):

I bought my ASUS G75V last year from http://www.xoticpc.com/index.html though I am not sure if they ship internationally since I shipped it to my parents house in Seattle. But I think they ship internationally but only accept bank transfer as payment for international customers.

Thanks and ordered.

By the time I added the SSD and the extra Ram to the JX it wasn't that far off the price of the JH which had it as standard so I ordered it from the BT Direct site.

Thanks for all the help chaps.

That's an excellent laptop Pen, I'm sure you're going to be stoked with its performance.

Better be - it's going to have to last me for a while lol.
