This review is from: ASUS ROG G751 series - 17.3" - Intel Core i7-4860HQ - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M - 32 GB DDR3L - 1TB HDD 512 GB SSD (PCIEG2) SSD - Windows 8.1 64-Bit - Gaming Laptop (G751JY-DH72X )
Pros:
I upgraded it to Win 8.1 Pro, no issues running anything (as noted, update all of your drivers.)
It spends the vast majority of it's time running OpenSuSE 13.2 64bit (primary boot, dual boots Win8.1Pro,) running virtual machines, & other apps. Steam did install gracefully, haven't found any issues with it (not a serious gamer.) nVidia drivers work well.
Cons:
Minor driver issues under OpenSuSE 13.2 64bit: some of the keyboard functional controls don't seem to work, like display brightness & keyboard lighting. Not a big deal for me, I have found workarounds.
Overall Review:
It's an expensive laptop, but seems to be working at least reasonably well.
