Review on ASUS GeForce I7 10875H Windows G532LWS DS76 by John Koch

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice, but the CPU is NOT 5.1 GHz!

Very good computer, very elegant, nicely packaged and designed. Everything was great from the start and it played great in almost all my games. Aside from the fact that Boneworks won't play even though it (according to the specs) exceeds all recommended hardware requirements, and Boneworks is the main reason I bought this computer. When trying to start Boneworks I kept being told that the CPU was dead and I couldn't figure it out until I ran MSINFO (see image) and found that the CPU was indeed 2.3GHz! After some exchanges with the seller, Intel appears to be describing the CPU as "Base Speed: 2.3GHz" but with "Intel Turbo Max Boost" one or the other CPU speed can be boosted "up to" 5, be 1 GHz. Great, except Intel Turbo Max Boost doesn't seem to boost the CPU "to" 5.1GHz when Boneworks requires it. I spoke to the seller until he agreed to collect it and pay for return shipping as this computer is NOT WHAT IS DESCRIBED BY AMAZON. I don't care what the speed is, the CPU frequency on this computer is 2.3GHz, NOT 5.1GHz. It's also a great portable computer.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Something is wrong
