This is the one. As you can see from the advert OCuk are using the wrong placeholders and specify a Bluray writer (which was one of the reasons why I bought it). I was disappointed there is no ODD at all but I can understand why.
I appreciate you get DOA's and laptops that will break but I was disappointed to be on the receiving end of one

I am absolutely positive the MSI is the way to go. I'll await my replacement. I realised when inspecting my one (for the ten minutes or so I had it) that it is considerably lighter than the Asus ROG it replaces. This is a good thing, in my opinion, but it also points towards a lighter build quality. I can see why it has no optical drive though, pretty obvious when you see how the heat pipes have to work round that 1080. It must generate oodles of heat. Hope it isn't too noisy but going by the above it should be okay.
From what I'm aware the new Asus doesn't support Thunderbolt, or does it?
Hi Phil,

Try running Aida64 and monitoring the CPU temps and if it throttles. If you run the cpu and GPU test at the same time you might find it throttling the CPU. It's common on laptops but should not really happen. Run the check and monitor the CPU and GPU temps. Aida will tell you if it throttles at all.
