    The G750 uses a soldered CPU! You can't upgrade it down the road to an extreme CPU when they get cheaper. It's a stupid move from Asus IMO. That laptop is already one of the heaviest, largest single GPU laptops out there, yet their competitors can make a lighter weight laptop with the same specs with an upgradeable socketed CPU!
    It's worse yet that they haven't addressed why they went with the soldered 4700HQ processor versus the 4700MQ.
