One might also find it clunky and somewhat stiff if actually going to perform physical clicks on it, but I usually rely on taps and these aspects did not bother me much. The trackpad is fairly good as well, although it doesn’t seem to be made out of glass, but of plastic instead, as it’s not as smooth as some of the others I’ve tested lately. They are also backlit and you can adjust the red illumination intensity or turn it OFF if you want to.Īsus also worked on the aesthetics and added a RED border around the WASD keys, which makes them stick out easily and will probably appeal to most of you. The keys are firm and responsive, coated in a rubbery material and travel deep within the frame for excellent feedback. That aside though, I was quite happy with the typing experience on this computer. I could leave with the latter, but I would have definitely appreciated larger directional keys, similar to what Asus offers on the G750 and the G751 laptops.
#Asus g751jt review series
However, this laptop inherits the keyboard arrangement from previous N Series laptops, which translates in narrower keys used for the arrows and the entire NumPad area, or the Power button integrated in the top-right position, despite having more than enough room for a better spaced layout. The interior is roomy and sober Keyboard and trackpad But Asus chose to use those spots for the hot-air exhaust on the left and the optical drive on the right, so that’s just something you will have to live with. Personally, I would have preferred to have the connectors pushed towards the back of the laptop, especially those on the left edge, as this implementation means that cables will get in your way more often than you’d want if you plan on connecting peripherals like an external monitor. Only some of the LEDs have cuts on the edge though, most of them have very subtle ones just beneath the trackpad, in order to make them as less intrusive as possible. There’s also a card-reader and some status LEDs on the front lip. You’ll find a good selection of ports on the sides, including 4 USBs, HDMI, Mini-DisplayPort and LAN connectors, but also an optical drive (a Blu-Ray combo on this model). It weighs 3.3 kilos and is about 1.5 inches thick, but at the same time it is solid built, so it should not mind being lugged around to LAN parties if you can live with the extra heft. That aside, the G771 is rather massive and large. All these are sprinkled with a few bright red elements, like the chamfered edge that stretches around the lower body and the backlit Republic of Gamers logo on the hood. However, the G771 sports a black theme, with dark textured aluminum covering the hood, dark matte metal used for the interior and dark rough plastic for the sides and the underbelly. This laptop borrows plenty of design elements from Asus’s N family, including the overall shape, the choice in materials, the keyboard and the trackpad.

But I’ve decided to host the review here anyways, as it’s a new and interesting product that should be available in stores in a few weeks and should have a fairly affordable pricetag. The G771 is by no means an ultrabook or even an ultra-portable, as it lacks the silhouette and the hardware required to get the “title”. In reality though, despite getting the ROG branding, the G771 is imh mostly a complete multimedia computer with some gaming abilities and a follow-up of last year’s N750 series ( which I also tested back in the days), as you’ll find from this review. The name suggests that it is, first of all, a 17 inch laptop, and then, a gaming machine, member of Asus’s G line (also known as Republic of Gamers).
