Asus Gamers G75 Jumped into the Republic of Gamers line

0

While there were a number of smaller little custom PC manufacturers that rose up in those ten years, Alienware still held a huge market share – so much that Dell decided to buy them – this in and of it self was big news, but more important to this review was that Asus saw the market in high end gaming rigs, and decided to jump in with the Republic of Gamers line.  Six years later, the quality of Alienware rigs has noticeably declined under Dell, but the Republic of Gamers branding is stronger than ever.I’ve used laptops for years to do work on, and there is always a measure of discomfort after long typing sessions because your wrists are resting on the metal or plastic of the laptop case – while we have the nice “gel bars” for desktops, I haven’t seen something like that for a laptop.  Asus though does what they can here, and the rubber surface below the Asus laptop keyboard  which like the Acer Laptop Keyboard  does tons to alleviate wrist stress.

The G75 is the new flagship model for the Republic of Gamers brand – maybe flagship isn’t the right word, no, I think due to the immenseness of the G75 that mothership would be a much better term.  The G75  is the big bully on the school yard, and the games you play are its targets.  It comes with a 17.3? display, is about 52 mm thick, and weighs a hefty 8.7 lbs with its 8 cel l laptop battery   attached – robust indeed.  I have a number of other laptops in the house, including an older Toshiba Satellite that I thought was the biggest laptop I would ever own, and it cowers in fear next to the size of the G75.

Looking at the G75, you are instantly drawn to its sleek design.  All of the dark grey / almost black surfaces are coated in a rubber material, which makes the whole system look and feel unique.  The only downside to this coating is that it shows up fingerprints like nothing else, but some electronic wipes will fix that with no problem.  The rubber coating on the outside might be for a purely design aspect, but on the inside under the keyboard it does far more. 

Finally I have to talk about the last major part of any good laptop – the  laptop battery  .  Unfortunately the battery life of the G75 is not the greatest.  Just surfing the internet caused the  laptop battery  to drain in just over two hours, and playing Skyrim for an hour and thirteen minutes caused the system to shut off.  After taking apart the back though, I see how much they squeezed in and know that they might not have had much room for a bigger batter – still though, with life that short gaming on the go is not really an option, and you’ll always want to ensure there is a plug handy.  The only way I was able to even play games while on battery was to keep the power settings at Maximum Performance as well, since leaving it on anything else causes insane frame rate drops.
