Pro: A cheaper high end gaming laptop that's comparable to Alienware.
It has 3d function making your gaming experience much more in depth.
Screen is sharp and will not glare. Keyboard is crisp with a metallic
gun finish. Blue-ray player is always a nice addition along with the
back lit key for working in the dark. Internal memory and hard drive is
easy accessible for upgrade. 1.5 Tb harddrive is massive.
Con: Some bugs with the sound system where the subwoofer doesn't turn off until the lowest decibel. The resting pad is changed into a foamy texture instead of the soft rubber texture from G74x. This version comes with only 12 Gb instead of 16 Gb, but you have an easy access slot for expand. There are 2 hard drives but they are both partitioned giving you 4 smaller hard drives, not sure why they did that. 3D function is great but it turns down the screen resolution when in use and makes your backlit keyboard into a strobe light. Kinda wish they had one of the hard drive for loading OS as SSD.
Conclusion: This is a great machine, you will like it if you can afford it. The 3D function is the key here, so if you don't really care for that, go with the G75vw-DS72. It is a faster computer for $100 less.

I've been using this laptop for almost 2 months
(Bought in Aug 2012). So far it's been pretty solid. Everything works
out of the box - no crashes so far.
I bought this from Amazon. The box included the following:
1. Laptop
2. Laptop Bag
3. 1 pair of Nvidia 3D vision glasses (3D vision emitter is built into the laptop). Glasses comes with a soft material pouch to store it in and keep it from getting dust. You may need a hard case to protect it if you want to travel with it in your bag!
4. Manuals and driver CD
5. Soft cloth to wipe laptop screen. 3D glasses also came with a cloth to keep it clean.
6. Power adaptor - As other people have mentioned - this is pretty big. It also gets hot so be sure to place it in a safe spot where you won't touch it and keep it away from surfaces that might be damaged by heat.
7. Gaming mouse
As mentioned by others, there are 2x 750 GB hard drives running at 7200 RPM. There are 4 partitions across these 2 hard drives. I was considering swapping out one of the hard drives with an SSD drive for booting and games but after using the laptop for the past 2 months I found that there doesn't seem to be any noticeable hard drive lag. I mostly play "The Lord of the Rings Online" and haven't experienced hard drive lag. My home PC definitely benefitted from an SSD upgrade but I'd say this laptop has performance comparable to my PC even with just the 7200 RPM hard drives in it.
Others may get more mileage with an SSD upgrade depending on the games being played etc. For me, I'll hold off on an SSD upgrade since the laptop seems to be pretty fast as is!
The laptop comes with 1 month of McAfee Internet Security (subscription automatically activated on first boot).Read more ›

So far, I've enjoyed my new RoG laptop to the fullest. It has a great
aesthetic, and doesn't skimp on performance. The 1 Year Accidental
Damage coverage is amazing as always. The system comes with a
pre-installed gadget that lets you switch from "high performance" to
"battery saving", essentially throttling the proccesor and GPU to extend
off-cable life. The stereoscopic 3D on this model is quite good,
though it wasn't my main reason for the purchase. There are a few
downsides, but nothing too terrible. Like most gaming laptops, it is
very large and heavy, has low battery life (about 2 1/2 hours), and gets
hot quickly (ventilation is excellent, however, and I haven't noticed
any performance issues related to heat). The keyboard has a nice feel
to it, but occasionally will not register a button press (I think this
is a result of not pressing hard enough). The partitioned hard drive is
a bit odd (I found that using one for storage, one for Steam, and one
for all other games worked well). The system comes with the typical
bloatware, easy to remove. Overall, I am pleased with my purchase.

Updated November 2012.I cannot recommend the G75VW-DS73-3D which is a pity as it's a nice looking machine when its working. In fairness to Asus after months of haggling they sent me a replacement G75 at their expense. But it has the exact same hangs freezes and system lockups! Is this coincidence? A bad batch perhaps? I don't know, so I'll leave it to the prospective buyer to decide.... Nvidia Driver updates do not fix the problem believe me I've tried, and Asus VIP support is the absolute worst!
If you want to know what problems you might face with this laptop read this letter below to Asus that I sent after test driving a second G75 for a month. Incidentally, a common fault is that both G75's also had wrongly configured Atheros Ethernet slow upload speeds, making me think additional patch(s) weren't run at the time of the build. Either that or its an outright bad batch of G75's with bad 670m GPU's. Either way Asus have no solution. I will probably sell mine 2nd hand and buy a Samsung because I looked at the Samsung Series 7 and regret not buying it, as the Nvidia 675 appears more stable.
If anyone has any questions about the G75 I can answer them in the comments section. For instance is the 3D worth it? In my view: NO! Playing for hours will almost certainly give you headaches as the 3D is not as comfortable as watching a 3D movie at the cinema. Basically the active shutter glasses approach causes strain on the eyes. Moreover the 3D means every game is darker, and even with brightness turned up within the game and in the power options, the clarity is not as good.
Dear Asus,
