ASUS G75VW-AS71 Review Good Gaming Laptop with Poor Wireless Connectivity I recently received my G75VW-AS71, which I had researched carefully before buying. I bought this one because it had way more power than the Best Buy edition, which was cheaper. However, for 250 dollars more, you get 16 GB of the fasted RAM available for this laptop (1600 Mhz), a faster harddrive, and a FULL HD screen along with much better warranty offers from Asus and Square Trade if you want an extended warranty. (I got one because my G50Vt-X1's graphics card died after only three years, and had problems long before it died from overheating.) This laptop allows you to access the fan housing in order to clean out accumulated dust without voiding the warranty. That is crucial to protecting the graphics card from overheating. The dual fan assembly was a major reason I bought this laptop.
That being said, it is equipped with a pathetic Atheros wireless network card that has an effective range of about 5 feet tops. After wasting countless hours "configuring" Windows to recognize wireless networks all around me, I finally just unplugged it and carried it to the room with the transmitter and set it down about 3 feet from it -- instant internet access! No more problems. If you plan to use an ethernet cable, this laptop will probably be ok, but it cannot connect to wireless networks more than 5 feet away, so keep that in mind before buying. It is a hardware issue, as many have compained about the Atheros nic card's lack of range.
For gaming it does fine, which is what I bought it for. I am still amazed that the intake air vents are on the bottom of the "laptop" since this guarrantees a constant inflow of lint and dust, or no air inflow at all. When will they learn?
