ASUS G701VI-XB78K - Full Review

[@alirosi7381]

i have this laptop and very satisfied . i love it

[@juanpedro3088]

CPU temps are high because of overclock out of the box To lower temps to around 75 celsius, simply change setting from extreme to standard (Asus software)

[@murtazanazham7730]

Very good review. Please review the new G701VI OC Edition with the new Kaby Lake processor. Thanks.

[@ctranger12]

Damn this thing is a beast!! btw one question does Mini Displayport supports 4k@60Hz?

[@kingjez2903]

the G701VIK is the upgrade coz the bad temps? but more weights rights?

[@therealchrismk72]

The Aorus X7 V6 seems much cooler in those Gaming Benchmarks, with higher resolution(1440p), but "only" a GTX 1070. Still enough FPS for serious gaming. Looks like the GTX 1080 of the Asus leads to more heat(because of higher FPS ?), or Aorus/Gigabyte has just the better cooling. I will buy me an Aorus.

[@falsecatalyst3936]

ChrisMK72 there is the x7 dt that has a 1080

[@oyvey8526]

I think both brands and models you mentioned are really sticking in these recent release. Really wise choices, i would also add to that list maybe the Msi and razor blade pro.

[@the_razor_9866]

Can you guys do a test on a 4k monitor hooked up to this laptop

[@dvxAznxvb]

I was wondering when Asus was going to release a1080 variant I had my gt73 for the months

[@jackdonda5504]

I bought ROG G701VI XB78K , recently, it doesn't show hard drive info, MODEL, TYPE, COMPANY NAME etc... So not sure if it is NVME SSD. Can you tell how to find the SSD information. Or check what your system has listed under hard drive.?

[@synystergates216]

Dear XOTICPC can you make video not just unboxing and review products but, try to make video how you guys make a pc laptops and customizing it all. because we want to know inside the XOTICPC its like. how you work an any other

[@xoticpc]

We might be able to do that!

[@bigworld5523]

i have a quick question does this have back light bleed?. the edges of my monitor shows back light bleeding during black dark scenes. not sure if i got a bad version. its not much but very noticeable.

[@MrAdilRehman]

can we upgrade just one SSD that is easy to upgrade or we have to upgrade both by default it has 1tb SSD maximum available on Amazon can I later remove the 512gb stick from one side and upgrade it with 2tb Samsung 960 pro? but keep the 512gb SS Dthat's on the other side and difficult to remove will it work fine?

[@michaelgeorge4524]

does this support 5ghz internet ? I didn't see u say it supports AC wifi ?

[@xoticpc]

120hz and G-Sync? A perfect match!

[@K1_Holzken70]

XOTIC PC thank you for this review

[@NicsNattapol]

ips or TN ???

[@K1_Holzken70]

Nics Nattapol TN I think all new laptops that have the 120hz panels are TN

[@viktorbakai]

IPS

[@Parth.Vaghjiyani]

suggestions please which one should i buy asus g701vi or msi gt73 titan pro i will be using it for architectural 3d vr

[@ObiWanSiaosi]

Parth Vaghjiyani buy a potato

[@NeedyChris]

To upgrade the ssd does it use 2280 like most laptops? What ssd should I get?

[@etacarinae725]

by the way, which vacuum cooler can fit this one?

[@fil0808]

HI, Is it IPS screen?

[@TiberiusEmpire]

This is great

[@kingjez2903]

whats the difference between TN, IPS or RGB?! :)

[@420402033]

back to g750, it had the best cooling on gaming laptop....now....what happened asus!?

[@YOUNG3VITY]

The G751JY was also a beast at cooling.

[@420402033]

Become90ForLife yeah better than this G701 but still not comparable with G750. (In term of copper volume, g751 is 98cm^3 vs 166cm^3 of g750)...

[@YOUNG3VITY]

Indeed the G750 had the best cooling

[@K1_Holzken70]

Yukang Shen the g701vi comes overclocked by default like the g752vs oc edition. I would imagine if they put the laptop in standard mode instead of the default extreme mode, the temperatures would be a lot better

[@xoticpc]

Those temps were while under the benchmark tests in those games not while just gaming normally to clarify.

[@bigworld5523]

can u update this laptop with 2tb of ssd raid 0?

[@xoticpc]

Yep and with NVMe drives too!

[@etacarinae725]

Hey, in custom settings if you guys change the Thermal paste does it improve cooling?

[@xoticpc]

It should help it out!

[@etacarinae725]

thanks! im thinking of buying one

[@xoticpc]

Awesome! A lot of people like the 701! It's a good machine.

[@pedrojunkers]

Alienware has 17.3 inch QHD (2560x1440) 120Hz TN Anti-Glare 400-nits NVIDIA G-SYNC Enabled w/Tobii Eye-tracking and better price!

[@astaproxima4074]

Pedro Da Cunha not gtx 1080 no " g sync " ... it has optimus no factory oc support not ips and only 500$ difference...

[@QuadXBeatz]

Lol...only two heat pipes? Really?

[@MrHakubi]

not a bad price at all.

[@JoeUseres]

dont like matte screen, really preffer Glare like my actually Asus G75V

[@marclouis1408]

Is he angryhoneybadger?

[@xoticpc]

Indeed it is.

[@Sonidero4ever]

please, don't purchase this, I have this laptop, G701VI Intel® Skylake i7-6820HK 64gb ram 2400 mhz, 1 tb ssd raid 0, nvidia gtx1080 8gb, it's very hot, the fan sound is very loud, I try to run rise of Tom rider on "extreme" 60-65 fps on ultra settings Vs. 50-55pfs on my old G751Jy same settings, my old G751; Intel i74720hq 4 tb ssd Samsung 850 pro raid 0, 24gb ram 1600 mhz, nvidia gtx980 4 gb another plus, look the keyboard backlight, its bullshit, the keyboard is very good, but no the backlight, the difference: the price 2000 dls more, my recommendation; don't purchase this laptop

[@muhamad-zulkifli]

Patrick are u sure mate?

[@Sonidero4ever]

Muhamad Zulkifli That was my experience with this laptop, I've had 5 Rog models but none so expensive and so poorly built!

[@astaproxima4074]

Patrick expensive? my ass .. this same model is 2800k in amazon and besides it's worth the penny .. gtx 1080 and gsync ips 120hz display .. what you expect more in a 2.5 k laptop

[@imacomputer101]

for 2.5k I would expect it to not overheat and for it to not be so loud for the size.

[@astaproxima4074]

Jamsy .billy i am waiting for this laptop to arrive and as per some live testing , i didn't feel uncomfortable regarding temps . Rog laptops have excellent cooling mechanisms ( rog g751jy is my previous model ) but sound is a setback for every gaming laptop

[@carlosa8639]

Where the 4k ???!!!

[@kingjez2903]

and old bios menu...for a high expensive notebook...shame

[@jamreal18]

it gets too much hot... not good...
