This look is typical of ASUS' heaviest gaming machines, but it's more than just visual flair - it's a surprisingly well-thought-out design. This leaves a distinctive, large "brick" jutting out from behind the laptop's open lid. Even at a glance, you can tell it's a little different: Instead of placing its screen hinge on the far edge of the machine's base, the G751 pivots its screen a few inches away from that edge. Fortunately, ASUS' ROG G751 does, owning its gargantuan frame by taking liberties with the standard tropes of laptop design. It's a necessity, of course, but it's also a shame - few gaming rigs embrace their size as a means of standing out. Thick, heavy chassis and enormous screens almost make them a parody of portable computing. In a world where most notebooks strive to get thinner and lighter, 17-inch gaming laptops stand out like the sorest of thumbs.
