ASUS ROG G74 Gaming Notebook
09 Aug, 2011
The world of portable gaming has a new reigning king.
Like its predecessor, the ROG G74 series design was inspired by the US Navy's Sea Shadow stealth ship and modern day aircraft carriers. Like the stealth ship, opponents will never know what hit'em, and like an aircraft carrier, the ROG G74 has the firepower to shock and awe the competition.
Hail to the King
The ROG G74 is a high-performance desktop replacement notebook that imposes its will with the overwhelming power. The ROG G74 boasts a second generation Intel® Core™ i7 CPU and NVIDIA® GeForce™ GTX 560M GPU with up to 3GB of GDDR5 VRAM and 1.5TB of HDD. Support for DirectX®11 ensures that you'll not only have the fastest rig in town, but also the ability to play games as they were meant to be seen for a long time. With SuperSpeed USB 3.0, experience up to 10x faster transfer rates between storage devices—a 25GB HD movie takes only 70 seconds versus 14 minutes.
True-to-life Multimedia
The ROG G74 is great for gaming, but its hardware is serious business. Featuring a 17.3-inch LED-backlit Full HD display and a Blu-ray combo drive, the ROG G74 lets you enjoy the latest in HD playback for an immersive experience with sharp images, smooth video transitions, and brilliant clarity. With HDMI connectivity, turn this gaming powerhouse into your personal media center by connecting to an external monitor or HDTV and enjoy flawless 1080p HD playback.
Pair that up with THX + EAX 5.0 3D gaming audio technology, and together they make the ROG G74 not only a great gaming notebook, but also a hub for multimedia entertainment.
Get comfortable
Gaming is something to be enjoyed, so why not be more comfortable for extended gaming sessions? The ROG G74's 5° incline keyboard is yet another ASUS innovation - specially designed to provide a better ergonomic angle, as well as super comfortable soft-touch palm rest that's easy on the palm and wrist. There's also more space between the keyboard and number pad, so it more resembles a desktop keyboard. A unique venting design pulls air from underneath the notebook, cooling the system down, and then vents it through the rear, keeping hot air away from the userand reducing ambient noise for prolonged gaming.
Blow It Out the Rear
The harder you work, the more heat you generate. A computer is no different, and with the amount of power in the G74SX, some serious cooling is needed. A unique venting design pulls air from underneath the notebook, cooling the system down, then vents it through the rear, keeping hot air away from the user and reducing ambient noise for prolonged gaming.
