Asus G750JX-DB71 Reviews

In the game notebook competition, whether the focus of manufacturers or consumers focus on the configuration, who configuration higher, better performance, who will be more favored by consumers. This ASUS G750JX-DB71 gaming notebook, priced at $1899 (about 11600 yuan) today, has a very tough form factor and is powered by the Intel fourth Daicouri i7 processor and nvidia GeForce GTX 770M graphics. In the direct competition with Alienware 17 is not in the wind, and in the price also has the advantage. So, is this ASUS G750JX-DB71 game really that good? Let's take a look at how this powerful gaming notebook is performing.

Shape design

Similar to the Asus G75VW-DS71 we've seen before, G750jx-db71 's design inspiration comes from the F-22 stealth fighter. The top black plastic is soft on the lid, with the logo of ASUS logo and its "Player Kingdom" (Republic of Gamers) series in the center. Black matte plastic material not only looks very feeling, but also cleans well and is not susceptible to fingerprints.

The back of the g750jx-db71 is more plump than the previous g75vw, with a tapered design with a more pronounced line on the sides. At the same time, the back of the cooling hole looks very similar to the F-22 stealth fighter jet port, as a whole looks like a ready to take off the fighter.

In the ASUS G750JX-DB71 Keyboard panel area, a large area of palm support is designed with a black aluminum drawing process. The g750jx-db71 keyboard is also backlit and has a huge touch pad. At the same time, the triangular power button has some punk-style flavour.

In terms of size and weight, asus G750JX-DB71 weighs 3.99 kg, the fuselage size is 40.9 cm x31.8 cm x4.8 cm, between two main competitors MSI GT70 (3.8 kg, 42.8 cm x28.7 cm x5.5 cm) and Alienware 17 ( 4.3 kg, 40 cm x30 cm x4.3 cm). So, the volume of Asus G750JX-DB71 is not slim, and if you plan to travel or carry it, g750jx-db71 is not a wise choice.

Display

The g750jx-db71 features a glare-resistant screen design, a 17.3-inch display resolution of 1920x1080p, a full-screen display with warm tones and a very good viewing angle, with three people watching without compromising the effect.

In our testing process, we first used some landscape images for static testing, whether it is Paddy or house, G750jx-db71 is very beautiful in the restoration of color, and when we play 1080p resolution of the "Wolverine" (The Wolverine) movie, The hero's body of the Koi tattoo and shadow can be accurately and carefully reflected. What's even more impressive is that when the protagonist is swallowed by the yellow and white flames in the movie plot, we will also see the Hugh Jackman (Hugh Jackman) Silhouette, g750jx-db71 the performance of the video playback is very satisfying.

ASUS own splendid Image smart adjustment technology allows users to adjust the color temperature of the display, in the test process, through our continuous adjustment, g750jx-db71 on the default display effect on the basis of further improvement, so, G750jx-db71 can be judged almost impeccable in terms of display.

Voice

To thoroughly implement the design of the F-22 stealth fighter, Asus hides the G750JX-DB71 speakers underneath the display. The sound is then reflected from the panel to the user's ear by a slightly downward-sloping speaker. Meanwhile, in the lower left corner of the g750jx-db71, there is also a stave not small bass speakers, although the sound is not small, but still does not fill the entire test room.

We first played the "Biochemistry: Infinity" (bioshockinfinite), the whole process of game sound is neat, but when there are heavy weapons guns and bass background music, if the volume is turned up we will hear the more obvious "buzz" sound, people feel slightly uncomfortable.

In addition to the game, the testers also played the single "God only Knows", Wale's rap song "Bad" and Marilyn Manson "Sweet Dreams", including the Beach Boys, and the sound effect was slightly hollow and not very satisfying.

While we've adjusted the sound effects using Maxx Waves Audio master, no matter whether it's music, games, movies, recordings or vocals, it doesn't seem to be getting much better. Overall, compared with g750jx-db71, we prefer the Klipsch speaker effect of Alienware 17, whether it is the bass or treble, are quite explosive, it is easy to fill the room. After all, acoustics is also a very important factor for a gaming notebook.

Keyboard and Touchpad

The g750jx-db71 (Island-style) keyboard has a full-size button, the arrow keys are isolated separately, and the backlight design is used, but it looks like the g750jx-db71 backlight is not very clear. In addition, g750jx-db71 only a white one keyboard backlight, this with Alienware and MSI similar products multicolored backlight type slightly more than a single.

G750jx-db71 's keyboard looks flat, beautiful, and resilient, giving users a good input experience. During the test, the testers reached the input speed of 60 words per minute via g750jx-db71, which was higher than the 55-word level of a draw.

G750jx-db71 's 11.7-centimetre-x6.6-cm trackpad can be described in almost a huge amount, and our fingers can operate effortlessly on top of it. The various gesture commands for Windows 8 systems and the traditional two finger scaling and three finger rotation instructions are easy to complete and respond very quickly. However, the two mouse buttons located under the trackpad are somewhat soft on the pressure feedback, but this does not affect the overall situation, g750jx-db71 can still do a good job.

Cooling

In the thermal test, we played 15 minutes of online video in full screen, the temperature of the G750jx-db71 trackpad area was 27.2 degrees Celsius, and the temperature between the keyboard "G" Key and the "H" button was 31 degrees Celsius, At the bottom of the g750jx-db71 and above the space temperature reached 37.2 degrees Celsius, this figure than 35 degrees of temperature comfort threshold slightly higher.

Then take a look at the thermal performance of playing the game through G750jx-db71. Testers tested the 15-minute "Biochemistry: Infinity", in the test results, the touchpad temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, "G" button and "H" Between the keys is 27.8 degrees Celsius, and the g750jx-db71 bottom of the temperature is very good control at 29.4 degrees Celsius, the entire g750jx-db71 fuselage the hottest part of the temperature is only 37.2 degrees Celsius, such a cooling performance let us feel very pleasantly surprised.

Built-in camera

The g750jx-db71 built-in HD camera supports photo and 720p video capture via the Windows 8 built-in camera software. During the test, the g750jx-db71 photos were somewhat too saturated, making the character's skin appear slightly yellowish. Although it can be used as a desktop background, the overall resolution limit is somewhat blurred.

Data interface

Asus G750jx-db71 's fuselage has a pair of USB 3.0 interface, HDMI, Ethernet network port, mini Displayport/thunderbolt interface, VGA interface, power interface, microphone and S/PDIF headphone digital audio interface; On the other side of the fuselage on the left side, there are two USB 3.0 ports, three-in-one reader, optical drive and Kensington lock slot. G750JX-DB71 's optical drive does not support Blu-ray DVD playback, some consumers may feel some regret, but I think this is not a big flaw.
