{asus rog g750jz-xs72} I will be creating audio cd's and dvd's for clients merging voice with visuals music and or sounds using audio video software, then burning some to discs. I like the 32 gig better than the 24, but as far as the the blueray...

As far as I know you can use a blu-ray burner to burn non blue ray cds. Also in all probability you'll never need 32GB of memory.

The audio and video are superb on both but the 752BD is a step forward. It also adds HDMI and other digital inputs. See the full review of the 752BD in the March 2013 issue of WIDESCREEN REVIEW for a more detailed reply.

I am fuming also! Where is the Blue Ray or HD DVD player that won't obsolete my collection high definition audio disks? I want something that includes DVD-Audio, SACD, and HDCD.

Thanks for the info. That was exactly the type of information I was looking for. I don't think the audio will make a difference to me. I'm very new to the HD community and by the time I get around to surround sound, something else will be out there. I read your review of the 570; very good review, nice and detailed. (I was thinking that if I decided on the 570, I might just add a few more dollars and get a PS3. It's the only bluray player I've actually used.) I was glad to read that you liked the upconversion. I've got too many DVDs and want to make sure my bluray player will do a good job on those. Again, thanks. Thanks for the info. That was exactly the type of information I was looking for.

I second the Microcenter recommendation. Mine shipped today, $419 after shipping...it's the blue XP, 120GB version.

Hi John, I have the G750JX & my packig slip from Computer Upgrade King says it's a full HD Blu-Ray. The Asus web site says it has Blu-Ray DVD Combo Super-Multi DVD Blue-ray Writer I haven't used the Blu-Ray drive except for loading software. I don't have any Blu-Ray movies so I can't play them to verify it for you. I can't specifically say yes or no but an email to the supplier you would purchase that from could be helpful. My purchase was from Computer Upgrade King in VA. Phone # 800-985-9364. Sorry I wasn't of more help.

There's a good compare of 970 and (worse than 4820) 4770K and 4770K is already better than 970. check cpuboss dot com. I'd run for the new one. Mine is simply amazing. I'm thinking about exchanging the HD to solid state. I work with audio (homestudio) and the CPU performs amazingly.

No the GS model only has the gtx 765, which is the one I have. The GT models is the one that have the gtx780. And the model I have doesn't doesn't have an optical drive at all. I user an external drive but the GT models do come with blue ray option.

I bought this because it is small and novel and because I wanted it. I've been building PC's as a hobby since about 1997. I'll be putting this on my bedroom chest of drawers as a means to watch my Blu-Ray movie collection over the network. It's replacing a small, but still too big, PC that's there now. I have a laptop with HDMI and Blu-Ray drive that I use on trips to watch movies and TV shows on the motel TV set. This isn't cheap, by any means, but it is much smaller than a laptop, and stays hooked up to my TV set. I have a total of $500 in it including the OS and wireless keyboard/mouse. The laptop I purchased was $700 and I had to buy an SSD to put in it for another $100. I bought this because it is small and novel and because I wanted it.

I wasn't happy with the recording performance of a CD (skipping), the large size of the unit and the high cost. It is plug and play for your OS, I have the same one. Anyway, I returned it and purchased the less expensive but much better rated Samsung even if its not Bluray and it works just fine.

I started a discussion on another string about this topic. Best Buy's is a UL50AG-RBBBK05. Boes BBB stand for Best Buy? Anyway, Cnet reviewed this model and liked it except for its speed, which strikes me as geek-head complaint. As the last poster said, the RBBBK has a DVD/CD drive, which is essential, and is a very nice machine, but too large for me. Does anybody know if ASUS makes the exact same machine with all the same specs but just in a smaller (13.3) size, WITH CD/DVD drive? Sony has one, but way more expensive and no HDMI. Advice?

I was glad to find a good choice of laptop with a DVD/CD player.... but this is not a Blu ray player. This computer will only play DVD/CD in its original state.

Thank you for the resource. I did order the computer from Amazon. Actually when I thought about, I rarely used the DVD drive in my Acer notebook. An outboard one will be just fine for my purposes.

thank you very much karen for that answer, it does help. so i have no regret when it comes to my purchase of the 120 001us. i just do not need that bluetooth stuff. i'm quite satisfied and it does all what i need. may be a little more power would be welcome but for the price and portability it's just absolutely great, thanks to msi !

Only thing i notice on the higher priced one is a higher buffer speed, (the lower cost Drive actually has a much higher write speed for DVD only) 16x vs 12x but the (lower priced one does not Burn Blu-Ray) only DvD. While the (higher one does Burn Blu-Ray.) If you want to burn Blu-Ray Disc get the higher priced one and if you want (just to play Blu-Ray then get the lower priced one.)

The one you posted has a blu ray lector also has 16gb of ram. This one has a dvd-r lector and 12gb of ram

their website tigerdirect.com says "Optical Drive Blu-Ray Player", no mentioning of BD-RW or Blue Ray Burner. This is another BS from Asus actually, they should list each custom spec on their website. But they just put generic model information only. Same issue with Wireless ac, some has it some don't and can't be sure.
