It all depends on what you really want. The Y70 has touch, the ROG doesn't. If that's important to you, get the Y70. The ROG has a DVD drive though, and the Y70 doesn't, so if that's more important with you, go Asus.

Spec-wise, the Asus probably wins by a little bit, just because of the GPU. However, the Y70 is no slouch, and should play most games on high settings with no problems. The GT 860M with 4GB RAM is pretty beastly for such a low price.

Here's a benchmark comparison: http://gpuboss.com/gpus/GeForce-GTX-870M-vs-GeForce-GTX...
Keep in mind that this is based on the 2GB version of the 860, so the actual one in the Y70 will close the gap between the two quite a bit.

Personally, I'm trying to talk the wife into letting me get the Y70 right now, because I can't see myself getting another laptop without a touch screen. Plus, you can get it for $1549 with the "USPY70H814" coupon code.

Hope this helps!

This^ is incorrect. The extra 2GB of vram will only make a performance difference in games that can use up 2GB. The only game I can think of where that would help is skyrim with the HD texture pack and modded. Also I would be wary of the y70 as the y40 and y50 reportedly have extremely lackluster screens. I would assume the y70 uses a similiar quality screen as the other two.

I've heard similar things about the screens on the Y40 and Y50 displays, but this was supposedly something they wanted to fix in the Y70. Most reviews are saying it's brighter, has much better viewing angles, and doesn't have that weird not-true-yellow issue.

As for the GPU - yeah, you're right. There would only be a few games that would even touch the 2GB, and even less that would exceed it. I'm assuming there will be more in the future though, especially if you use mods, in which case the 4GB would help.

Keep in mind that these machines should not just be considered just as gaming rigs. Designers and media professionals love these "gaming" systems because of the gpu horsepower. Maybe games can not utilize the 4gb of video ram in the Y70, but your media professionals will love it when crushing video. When it comes to these high end systems it all comes down to the screen for me. the one with the best color wins hands down above speed.

I'm waiting for the Asus GX500 to come out before deciding on my next laptop purchase. Sounds like a beast.

Now... if you are really considering a rig for just gaming, may I suggest saving a shitload of money and just grabbing an xbox one or ps4 ;)
