Overview:

The Republic of Gamers on Asus Laptop is continued to another series of G74SX called ASUS G74SX-DH72. No much different with the previous laptop in series of ASUS G74SX-DH71, both are similiar in design and a little different specs inside the laptop.

ASUS G74SX-DH72

Featured with the 2nd generation Intel Core i7-2670QM quad-core processor (2.2 GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 3.1GHz) and 3GB GDDR5 VRAM and best of all is the 16 GB DDR3 RAM, which absolutely make this laptop run smoothly and easy to run big games.

Different with the DH71, this DH72 is equipped smaller of Hard Drive only 750GB 7200 + 160GB SSD. But this is enough to save HD movies. However this gaming laptop is more expensive than the previous one. Let's take a look inside the laptop, below:

Main disadvantages

• Little heavy
• Poor speakers
• The numeric keyboard is NOT a numeric keyboard it is just a mirror from the numbers keys of the qwerty keyboard so:
• You cannot type ASCII code,
• You don't have num lock Key, or arrows
• The special functions key are very slow, in other words, for example when you type [fn + volume] it takes until 3 seconds to respond the command due to ASUS software I guess
• Charger is heavy so you need a 18' wheeled carrying case
• Booting time takes around 40 seconds. Much time for this hardware I think.
