jayne2132 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) BlackRoseOfThorns:They have great cooling, while everyone that I know have bought Asus models and were able to fry eggs on top. I think this must have changed. I'm not familiar with older models, but I just bought one of their new models a few weeks ago (Asus ROG G751) and it hasn't gotten warm yet (has giant, but quiet, fans at the back). It is 7lb, though, and not cheap, so not for everyone. Edited to add: Don't know if you get the same deal in Australia, but I'd check out the warranties Amazon sells if you buy computers through them. 4 years including accidental damage. By far the best and best price I found. Edited February 5, 2015 by jayne2132 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VileTouch Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 By far the best and best price I found. you call a $2200+ laptop with average specs a "good deal"? I beg to differ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said the *warranty* was a good deal. 4 years with accidental damage coverage is something I couldn't find from any other sellers, and Amazon charged what the other sellers were charging for 3 years. I wasn't posting to encourage anyone to buy the laptop, just to mention that it doesn't get hot. Though this model (mostly its graphics card) gets excellent reviews, it's quite expensive. I personally wouldn't have gotten it if I didn't need a powerful laptop for work, as well as gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laptops rarely have serious issues in enviroment where ambient temperature is around 20C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laptops rarely have serious issues in enviroment where ambient temperature is around 20C. I'm certainly aware of that, and didn't mean my post to be misleading (as I said, I've only had it for a few weeks, so couldn't give a thorough review yet). But I did my homework before buying it, and looking through benchmarks and reviews, this model is known for its temperature regulation. This was important to me because my last laptop often shut itself down due to the graphics card overheating when playing games, winter or summer. In any case, I don't think this is the laptop that the OP is looking for, so I'll stop talking about mine. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
