ASUS Announces the ROG G701VI Gaming Notebook
ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced G701VI, a slim and stylish gaming laptop with overclockable NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 graphics for incredible virtual-reality (VR) gaming performance. ROG G701VI has a wide-viewing-angle display that features NVIDIA G-SYNC technology and an ultra-fast 120 Hz refresh rate for smooth and fast gaming visuals. It also has an anti-ghosting keyboard with 30-key rollover technology for total gaming control.
The VR Ready NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card used in ROG G701VI provides exceptional graphics performance and energy efficiency to give gamers incredible VR gaming experiences. ROG G701VI is the world's first laptop with a super-fast 120Hz wide-viewing-angle panel with NVIDIA G-SYNC technology. NVIDIA G-SYNC reduces lag, minimizes frame-rate stutter and eliminates visual tearing. It gives gamers the smoothest and fastest gaming experience, all without affecting system performance.
Powered and designed for immersive gaming
ROG G701VI is powered by an unlocked Intel Core i7 ('Skylake') processor to give gamers incredible desktop-grade gaming performance. It also features up to 64GB of 2400MHz DDR4 memory, which delivers up 20 percent more performance and 30 percent more energy efficiency over 1600MHz DDR3 RAM.
An anti-ghosting keyboard with 30-key rollover technology ensures multi-keystroke in-game commands are correctly logged even when gamers hit several keys simultaneously. In addition, a built-in ESS DAC and amplifier provide richer, more detailed in-game audio, strong bass and less distortion.
ROG G701VI has an incredibly thin 32.5mm profile and sports the new ROG Bio-Armor design and the new ROG Armor Titanium and Plasma Copper color scheme.

HDD(SDD) and RAM exchange is so easy, but ok, you ask about fan cleaning... How about using pressurized air?
But after fully opening it once and barely reassambling it back right I won't do that again! (Eyes and hands are not the best anymore...)
The thing is I have upgraded mine to 16GB ram and took the spinner out from the 2 drives and replaced that one with an SSD, in the end I spent about 1900 Euros.
Now I have a desktop with GTX1070 which cost me a total of 1800 Euros.
(I must add that I didn't have the space for a desktop in 2014 which why I bought that laptop)
These Asus gaming laptops are just so expensive in my country.:(
You can easily fill 16 GB during 3D rendering, numerical calculations and video processing (or even with large stills).
I personally use RAMDisk a lot (e.g. to seriously speed up MS Access), so every additional GB is a bless.
"Why use a gaming laptop for that anyway?", one might ask. Because they are fast and they can even be of good value if compared to high end mobile workstations. The problem with them is that they generally look tacky as crap. This one is not too bad though.
Before buying one you always should look up a teardown guide if you plan on cleaning or upgrading it.
