Replace your desktop computer! The latest game notebook ROG G752VS in the player's country has been greatly improved in performance, and it is equipped with a new Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 GPU based on Pascal architecture, becoming the first laptop to use this image processor. If you buy it, you may not be far away from the desktop computer.
Asustek's ROG series is a laptop specially designed for high-end consumers and game enthusiasts. Computers in this series are almost synonymous with performance. G752VY (the previous generation product of G752VS) ranks fourth among the top ten game notebooks on our website. It seems that ASUS wants to be more aggressive this time. You may not see much difference from the previous generation product in appearance. It is still the familiar ASUS family style design.
Let's take a look at the hardware parameters. First, let's take a look at the seemingly small but very important changes. These changes tell us that this laptop may be one of the most powerful computers you can buy on the market. ROG G752VS It is equipped with a super powerful Intel Core i7-6820HK processor, which supports up to 64GB of DDR4 memory. The system is installed on a 512GB NVMe SSD, which runs fast. Well, in fact, the biggest change is its GPU. Asustek has assembled a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 image processor for the G752VS, and it is based on Pascal architecture, which was released three months ago, It is specially prepared for desktop computers and is now stuffed into this notebook. In fact, we want to say that this GTX 1070 is much better than the GTX 980!

appearance
From the appearance alone, there is not much to say, because the shell of our test model is almost the same as that of its predecessor. It is made of silver and gold. The keyboard and wrist support area are made of smooth and tactile materials, which are very comfortable to the touch and have a very tall feeling, We are very satisfied with the solid and exquisite workmanship of the fuselage.
The main material of the G752VS body is made of metal and plastic. The logo of the Black Eye is embedded in two eye-catching red lines, and the logo can emit light, The surface A is made of aluminum alloy, which is very hard and firm. We also tested the hardness of the shell, and the performance is quite good. However, it looks a bit bulky. However, in view of its powerful performance, it needs a good cooling system, so it can be forgiven for such a large body size.
The hinge is very solid, which can fix the screen at any angle. There is a small cover under the body, which can be easily opened by unscrewing the screws. There is a 2.5 inch mechanical hard disk, memory card slot and NVMe SSD. At the bottom of the body, you can also see a transparent plastic bottom shell, through which you can see the cooling fan inside, Asustek officially calls this technology "heat dissipation of vacuum chamber soaking plate", which can achieve higher heat dissipation efficiency. Although you can see where the fan is, you can't touch it. If you want to clean the fan, you have to remove the whole enclosure, which will be very troublesome. Like other ROG series computers, it is very easy to stick fingerprints on the keyboard surface. We don't like this. After a long time of use, you will find a lot of fingerprints on the computer.
Now, let's recharge our faith (to appease our hunger by drawing cakes:- D）

Interface
Like the previous generation products, it has a large number of interfaces, including four full-size USB 3.0 interfaces. However, for some people, this may not be enough. For example, MSI's GT72VR has seven USB 3.0 interfaces.
The layout design of the body interface is very good. The positions between each interface are large and not crowded. There is no need to worry about things like external devices getting tangled together. In terms of video output, there are HDMI 2.0 interfaces, mini DisplayPort 1.3 and WiDi (wireless high-definition technology). During the use, we also use it for 4K resolution game scoring, which is basically nothing.

(Right side of the fuselage: headphone jack, microphone jack, line input, USB 3.1 Type-C Thunderbolt 3, 2 x USB3.0, mini DisplayPort interface, HDMI interface, Ethernet interface, power interface)
(Back of fuselage: heat sink)
(Front of fuselage: wooden interface)
The SD card reader is located next to the optical drive on the left side of the body and basically supports all common SD card formats, such as SD SDHC and SDXC, we use a Toshiba Excel Pro SDXC 64GB card to conduct a test. This test copies 250 JPG documents to the hard disk, and we get a test result of 76MB/s. Next, we use the AS SSD tool to conduct a continuous reading test. Our machine's score is 86MB/s, which can only be said to be a medium level, Some competitors in the same level perform better than it.
ASUS G752VS uses Intel's 8260 AC wireless network card with 802.11 ac dual channels. The theoretical peak transmission rate of this wireless network card is 867 Mbit/s. In our test, the transmission speed of this machine is 465 Mbit/s, while the reception speed is 566 Mbit/s. This performance is not particularly excellent compared with MSI GT62VR. And the latter supports 1000 Mbit/s Ethernet interface.
ASUS G752VS supports Trusted Security Platform Module 2.0 (TPM 2.0), which is a hardware level security function used to generate, store and authenticate decoding keys. In terms of equipment security, there is also a computer lock available. After all, it would be bad to lose such an expensive game book.
A small Philips screwdriver can open the shell at the bottom of the fuselage. After opening, you can see the M.2 SSD slot, 2.5 inch hard disk slot and small dual in-line memory module. If you want to disassemble the machine to see other components of the computer, such as CPU, GPU, WiFi module, battery and the second set of memory modules, it will be a bit troublesome. You have to pry off the screws to make sure, which is very troublesome. This is almost a common problem of all ROG series. Asustek may have deliberately done it, but many other manufacturers have designed their laptops to be easy to DIY them.
Keyboard&Touch Pad
At first glance at the G752VS keyboard, I feel that the appearance of the keyboard is not much different from that of the previous generation. Each key has a large area, and there is a 3mm gap between the keys. The 2.5 mm key course and the surface of the keys are matte. It feels very high-end when used. The workmanship is very exquisite. The backlight system is a three gear adjustable red backlight. The G752VS keyboard is based on the non impact 30 key technology. No matter how fast you type, it can ensure that the keyboard can accurately read every click. There are also 5 macro keys and a shortcut selection key on the top of the keyboard. Press the shortcut key to quickly jump to XSplit Gamecaster for recording game videos.

(Turn on backlight)
The touchpad has an area of 12 x 6.8cm, which is easy to use and can track fingers accurately. You can also set some gestures on the touchpad in Software Smart Gesture, which supports up to four finger touch. There are two keys below the touchpad. The press feedback sound is very low, and the key range is similar to that of the keyboard.

screen
The machine in our hands has a 1080P full HD IPS screen, which is provided by LG (LP173WF4-SPF3). The screen looks good and the light reflection phenomenon is very light. At the time of purchase, G752VS has three screen specifications, two 1080P models, 75Hz and 120Hz, and one 4K resolution (60Hz). All three screen models support G-Sync. The ppi of our 17 inch 1080P resolution screen is 127.
(Sub pixel arrangement)
(viewing angle)
This LG screen also performs well in terms of brightness (317 cd/m2), and has 1093:1 contrast. But the machine we tested had light leakage at the edge, but there was no screen flicker problem.
(There is light leakage)
The display effect of the screen is very good, but this is normal. After all, such an expensive computer, with a 1093:1 contrast and a minimum brightness of 0.3cd/m2, is a typical IPS screen. The sRGB color gamut is 85%, while the Adobe RGB color gamut is 56%. This is not very good for professional image processing users. The viewing angle is a major advantage of the IPS panel. It can be seen that no matter from which angle the screen is viewed, the color will not be too distorted. At the same time, there is no problem in outdoor use. The light reflection phenomenon is not serious. In addition, the brightness is very high, which can cope with the use of various scenes.

performance
Needless to say, the performance of G752VS must be very strong. It is equipped with an i7-6820HK processor, which can handle all kinds of tasks without difficulty. 64 GB DDR4 memory is sufficient for most users, and game enthusiasts need not worry about it, The G752VS also has the optional configuration model of the Core i7-6700HQ, but it only supports DDR4-2133 MHz, while the Core i7-6820HK supports DDR4-2400 MHz.
With such a powerful processor and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070, it is very smooth to play 4K games. In addition, it is also equipped with NVMe SSD. The system runs smoothly and quickly. It only takes a few seconds to boot up.
processor
The Core i7-6820HK is a quad core processor based on Intel Skylake architecture, and has hyper threading technology, which can process 8-threads at the same time. The main frequency of this 14 nm process processor is 2.7GHz, and it can reach 3.6GHz for one core, 3.4GHz for the other two cores, or 3.2GHz for four cores. In addition, ASUS allows you to set the settings in the ROG Game Center to the "Extreme" mode, so that the frequency can reach 3.8GHz. If you think this is not enough, don't be afraid, you can also set it to the "Manual" mode, and then the frequency can reach 4.0GHz, which is absolutely enough! However, if a critical point is reached during full load operation, the main frequency of the CPU will be reduced.
We used PCMark 8 to test this 17 inch machine, and the results showed that its performance was excellent. NVMe SSD, together with a quad core CUP and a powerful GPU, made the whole system run smoothly, and it only took a few seconds to boot up.

storage space
The storage device of ASUS G752VS is composed of SSD and HDD, and the operating system is pre installed on the M.2 SSD. This is a solid state disk from Toshiba (NVMe THNSN5512GPU7), with a capacity of 512GB. We used CrystalDiskMark to test it, and the results of continuous reading and writing were 1700MB/s and 1300MB/s respectively. The 2.5-inch mechanical hard disk comes from Hitachi, with a 1TB capacity of 7200 rpm. We also tested it with CrystalDiskMark, and the results of continuous reading and writing were 144MB/s and 134MB/s, respectively. This is good for the mechanical hard disk category.

Graphics card
Now let's take a look at the biggest change of this machine compared with its predecessor, that is, its GPU. The G752VS is equipped with a GPU based on Pascal architecture - GTX 1070. The suffix no longer has the letter "M" (mobile version), but a desktop level graphics card.
The core frequency of this desktop level (2048 stream processors) GTX 1070 is 1506-1683MHz, instead of 1443-1645MHz of the mobile version, which is 7% higher than that of the mobile version (1920 stream processors). In Asustek's G752VS, when you switch to the "Extreme" mode in the ROG Game Center, not only will the CPU be overclocked, but in our test, the GPU can also be overclocked to 1493-1695MHz, and the memory can also be overclocked to 4150MHz (standard value: 4000MHz).
Let's take a look at the performance test of a group of GPUs

It is needless to know that the GeForce GTX 1070 will certainly perform well in the game. This Pascal architecture GPU can run almost all 4K games smoothly, and the special effects are adjusted to "high". When playing the 1080P game, you can turn on all special effects and turn on anti aliasing.
Let's take a look at a set of game tests
(Biochemical Wizards: unlimited, 1080P resolution, high special effects, DX11)

(Tomb Raider: Rising, 2160P resolution, high special effects, AA: FX AF: 4x&1080P resolution, ultra-high special effects, AA:FX AF:16x）
(Island Frightening: original killing, 2160P resolution, high special effects, AA: SM&1080P resolution, ultra-high special effects AA: SM）
Endurance&fever
During normal use, we found that the heat of G752VS is slightly serious, but it is not a big problem. After all, the configuration is there, and there are several positions on the surface of the fuselage that will exceed 40 ℃. In the extreme test (running Furmark and Prime95 for at least one hour), we detected that the maximum temperature of the CPU was 96 ℃ (80 ℃ on average). After running for a while, the Core i7-6820HK dropped to 2.7GHz by turning off the Remax function.
When the core frequency of the GPU reaches 1300 MHz, its temperature has reached 74 ℃. After running the extreme test, we run 3DMark 11, and the result is that the score has dropped by 600 points, which is not very low. So even if you play games for a long time, the performance of the GPU will not be reduced due to overheating.
(Full load operation status, left: front of the fuselage, right: back of the fuselage)
(Idle state, left: front of fuselage, right: back of fuselage)
The G752VS has a 90Wh lithium-ion battery, which can be easily removed, but its endurance is relatively ordinary. In the case of full load, you must connect the power supply after only 1.5 hours of use. When conducting our WiFi Internet access test (connecting WiFi to browse the web until it is turned off), its battery life is about 3.5 hours, When the battery is fully charged, the G752VS can watch one or two high-definition videos. It is also possible to play games.
Endurance test
Idle state (WiFi not connected, medium brightness): 5 hours and 11 minutes
WiFi Internet access: 3 hours and 30 minutes
Watch the Dream of Elephants, H.264，1080P： 3 hours and 6 minutes
Full load status (maximum brightness): 1 hour 24 minutes
summary
The overall performance of this high-end game laptop of ASUS is very good. I believe many game enthusiasts will also like it. The GPU with Pascal architecture can be said to have opened a new era for game laptops. Compared with the previous generation, ASUS has greatly exceeded them in performance, and it is not one point or two!
Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1070 is the second best GPU you can buy at present, and the GTX 1080 is the only one faster than it (it can be seen from the figures:- D) In addition, ASUS has also equipped the G752VS with the same extremely fast Intel Core i7-6820HK processor, plus 64GB DDR4 memory. As the only computer in your family, it is enough!
This powerful performance, combined with the heat dissipation technology of vacuum cavity soaking plate, can control its temperature well. Although you can still hear the noise of the computer, this is a normal phenomenon. By the way, if you want to buy it, be prepared. This is a 4.5kg device, not a thin portable notebook:- D
