Acoustic Performance
Acoustic recordings are taken while the system sits at the desktop under minimum load. Then we run 3DMark's FireStrike 1.1 and take the measurements again once the sound has settled to its maximum. All fans were left to the ASUS-supplied defaults. We recorded audio from a 1m distance from the base unit at approximately the same level.
You can hear the fans spin up a little under load, but 48dB is not noisy compared to some of the 17in gaming monsters we've tested in the past. You might not want to play games at a Benedictine monastery on this notebook, but in any other environment it won't be any disturbance at all.

Seriously how can you make a gaming laptop in this day and age without an SSD? With current prices it’s not that hard to give 128 or even 256GB of space. I’ll bet a lot of gamers would prefer the massive performance increase over the extra space; I know I would.
I have a Dell XPS with a 512GB SSD and 960m. Work paid for it. Worth every penny haha.
I tried MGSV on it earlier and it ran at fairly high settings with an issue. No throttling or anything

IKR! I bought last year an Alienware 17 and immediately swapped the 1TB hard drive with a 256GB SSD like on the same week and no regrets! The performance gains are amazing and its only a Crucial MX100 which is working good, a little underrated one.
After the bad experience that I had with Asus after sales support regarding my venerable Asus G74sx, I will never buy another Asus laptop like ever.
