Cooling performance doesn't look so promising like this one. http://store.asus.com/us/item/201503AM110000029/A23718
I honestly don't see a difference. (Although I am more inclined to believe that Asus ROG has better cooling). Both have equally enough vents for cooling it seems. Still keep in mind that your laptop still will run quite hot when under stress.

My Lenovo Y50 does get pretty hot even when idling (although it's because the day temperature here now exceeds 40*C nowadays............................... .........).
With air conditioner, it cools great even when put under serious stress (Far Cry 4 at ultra, no stuttering and FPS drops =) ).

So yeah, I would seriously recommend gaming at good room temperature (wouldn't be a problem in europe I suppose...)

Play in air conditioned room and also get a cooling pad.

BTW - The XoticPC will give considerably better performance (since it has a 970M).

Still though, air conditioner won't survive staying all day long. So yeah I need a laptop with a good cooling system too. :lol:

I would not get a slim laptop like the GL551 that doesn't fit a proper cooling system.

:lol:

Slimmer laptops will get more hot when under pressure but yeah every laptop will get pretty hot when put under stress, unless it's like a super thick full of vents, but that won't make it portable. (mostly why people don't consider laptops to be great gaming machines, besides the limited power).

Get a cooling pad, a good one.

That's what I am always putting in mind for laptops.

Post one as an example please, because I am thinking of this one which is impossible.  :lol:

Build a nice desktop for $1,000, and buy an additional laptop for portability.

At that sort of price range I would be looking at some of the high end MSI laptops such as http://www.msi.com/product/notebook/GT72-2QD-Dominator-G.html#hero-overview (6GB 970M in a fucking laptop  :app:) . You can get them on ebay for just under $2000. I would never spend that much on a laptop personally though so I haven't done a great amount of research.

Not like you can use the full 6 GB at any time though. :lol:

Nevertheless, 970M is a very good GPU for maxed out gaming at 30 fps.

I believe OP needs a laptop that is capable of intense gaming, you can't just simply buy a desktop GPU and run a game on the move.  :lol:
