The massive amount of system memory also feels like overkill. Although it's a very capable specification, it's not the absolute fastest you can get This 22nm quad-core Haswell processor is a year old and has recently been supplanted by newer processors, including chips based on Intel's 14nm Broadwell line. In the G751 it comes with 4GB of graphics memory, although other laptops have a version with 8GB, which can really help with performance at higher detail settings.Ĭhoosing Intel's Core i7-4860HQ is a puzzling move. It has 1536 shaders and 160GB/sec of memory bandwidth, impressive specifications even for a desktop graphics card, all the more impressive squeezed into a laptop. The GTX 980M is the fastest mobile graphics card Nvidia sells. It's almost like the anti-Ultrabook, since the G751JY has four USB 3.0 ports, Thunderbolt/DisplayPort 1.2, Ethernet, VGA, HDMI, audio and an optical drive, most of which is missing on super-thin laptops. They also have an equally strong array of ports along either side. Its maximum resolution is 1920 x 1080, the most sensible choice for a gaming system, where a high-DPI 4K resolution would lead to terrible gaming performance. The G751JL is slightly less powerful, with only 8GB of system memory, no SSD, a GeForce GTX 965M and a Core i7-4720HQ processor, while the G751JT has a GTX 970M.Īll three have the same 17.3-inch IPS screen, which is an absolute beauty, looking great without backlight bleed or ghosting. This full-fat configuration of the G751JY is quite expensive, costing £1,900 ($2,800 in the US, which is around AU$3,640) with savings possible by dropping the size of the SSD, memory or CPU.

The G751JY, which I'm testing here, is the most powerful, with a quad-core 2.4GHz Intel Core i7-4860HQ processor, 32GB of memory, and a GeForce GTX 980M with 4GB of GGDR5 memory. There are currently three G751 variants available.
