Looks like ASUS is following Acer's direction in using a similar processor for it's new gaming laptop. Powered by an Intel Core i7-8750H six-core processor that operates at 2.2 GHz with a turbo boost clock of 4.1 GHz. a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, 144 Hz refresh rate, and support for NVIDIA's G-Sync technology.  Listed for 3499 Swiss francs at a Swiss retailer, which translates over to around $3657. I personally think this is also too much money but I suppose there is some type of market for this laptop. I think quite honestly there are cheaper gaming laptops out there that have a very good gaming laptop experience.

    Hmm, did they change the keyboard placement from the last version, or not?  In one of the pics, it is in the old location, in another, it is in the standard location with the touchpad located under it.

    I think they moved the keyboard forward a bit
