hi guys
my "old" gs70 had a problem with its screen (flickering) and keyboard (dead keys) and so i receive a replacement. it seems there is a better version out now. here is a side-by-side comparison: https://www.digitec.ch/en/Comparison/3228457-631902
seems those components changed:
- cpu (now 3.5GHz Turbo) : minor change
- nvidia gtx 970m with 3GB : bigger update
- 7.1 audio: not sure if this is so important
- killer n1525 wifi: seems to have 802.11ac now
- according to this list its 60grams lighter but 2mm higher...
all the rest seems to stay. i hope they improved the case-stability, otherwise this one breaks also after 6months...
so if this changes are all worth it, break yours now, if it has not already and your warranty has not run out... ;-)
i'll report back with a ubuntu 14.10 setup as soon i got it...
UPDATE: this version has also a great new trackpad with real physical click and a bit more friction (and is black)... this is a very good update. i like physical feedbacks. and the new sound system is incredible loud!
