The reason we included in the comparison the 18.4-inch Dell Alienware 18, which costs EUR2500 is more than clear – there aren’t many competitors of G751 in its price range. The GPU of the Taiwanese beast is not even in SLI/CF configuration so the power you get won’t need any special profiles or not supported by some games, for instance. The 68 903 points in 3DMark Cloud Gate are just 2% lower than the Alienware 18 (2x Radeon R9 M290X with 4GB GDDR5, CrossFire) and the price of the Dell model is 67% higher than the basic ASUS G751 configuration with GTX 980M. If we look closer into the specs – the Alienware doesn’t even have IPS display – one of the big advantages of G751. It’s unnecessary to praise the sound, image quality, cooling system of the notebook as the tests above speak for themselves.

Although the Asus G751 is a really big and expensive gaming laptop, and not even the best performer, it's a great machine to use. If you're going to spend hours gaming, using the G751 as a desktop replacement, you'll really appreciate the low fan noise and comfortable keyboard.

So how does the Asus ROG G751JY-DH72X end up on top? By beating the former Editors' Choice Origin EON17-SLX on price (the Asus rig is $700 less), better ergonomics, double the system memory, and much more storage (1.5TB vs. 990GB). The G751JY-DH72X is also a quarter-pound lighter than the EON17-SLX, has a more durable power adapter connector, and lasted almost two more hours on our battery rundown test. Sure, the Origin rig is ultimately a bit faster on games, but not always significantly so, and certainly not worth the extra $700 in the balance of features and performance.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
4860HQ: Haswell-based quad-core processor clocked at 2.4 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.6 GHz. Offers an integrated Iris Pro Graphics 5200 GPU and a dual-channel DDR3 memory controller.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
17.30": This display size is a standard format for desktop replacements (DTR). The DTR laptops are heavier to carry, need more power, but texts are easy to read and high resolutions are no problem. DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and energy hunger don't matter. In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

Only a few laptops are in this weight class because the mobility is rather limited due to the high weight.
