Blistering Fast Data Transfer
The G750JM features Intel Thunderbolt technology, combining PCI Express and DisplayPort in one consolidated connection and cable. This delivers data and graphics at a blistering rate up to 10Gbits/s, roughly twice the bandwidth of USB. It’s enough to satisfy any need for speed.
Game Faster, Longer
Step up to military grade notebook gaming with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M dedicated graphics that lets you play you favorite PC games at 1080p with no compromise. With a single click, the NVIDIA GeForce Experience software optimizes games for the best performance and image quality possible. The result is a smooth frame rate with zero lag. Now you can play your favorite FPS or RPG as it was intended without even worrying about battery life – the Optimus Technology automatically switches between discrete and integrated graphics to deliver the performance you need, when you need it, while extending playing time.
Level Up
Lightning speed has never been easier or safer. With ASUS-exclusive TurboMaster technology, the G750JM supports 5% overclocking for superior gaming performance. The new GPU Tweak software, which carefully monitors the stability of the graphics card, lets you push your notebook to the limit without fear of crashing. When you don’t feel like overclocking, simply turn it off to sustain battery life – ASUS gives you the easy option. Stay cooler, game faster.
Play It Cool
Get to the finish line without having to power down. The G750JM uses an upgraded intelligent cooling system that guarantees stability and low temperatures even when overclocking. Dual independent CPU and GPU fans adjust to each component’s needs and work with copper heatsinks to provide maximum cooling efficiency. But the notebook’s low temperatures are achieved also because of its design. The G750JM’s architecture quietly expels heat through the back – away from the gamer – so you can focus on owning your opponents.
Audio, For the Win
The G750JM’s audio system packs a punch, providing extra power to headphones so they perform to their full potential. An onboard amplifier produces a wider frequency range for more accurate and detailed stereo sound, while reducing audio distortion and unwanted interference like headset crosstalk. This rock-solid audio foundation also comes with ROG AudioWizard, letting you personalize sound settings or choose between 5 preset modes for the ultimate winning soundtrack. Tweak the audio for clear, detailed dialogue or ramp up the power on the internal Bass Eye Subwoofers for an impressive low-end sound that you can feel. It’s up to you.
Choose Your Vantage Point
The G750JM comes future-ready, supporting 4K2K HDMI output. Now you can connect to high-resolution screens that go far beyond today’s 1080p systems. Just plug in to experience immersive, true-to-life gaming. And with Trinity Display Technology, you can output graphics to three displays simultaneously via HDMI 1.4 or Mini DisplayPort 1.2. Watch a movie, browse the web, or game – all at once. Multitasking is made even easier with the one-piece backlit keyboard, whose 2.5mm key travel ensures a smooth and accurate response. Tailored specifically for PC gaming, it boasts guaranteed strength and durability, so you can play as hard as you want.
Fastest Just Got Faster
Armed with the latest 4th generation Intel Core i7 processor, the G750JM sets all-new benchmarks for powerful performance so you never have to slow down. Now you can play when you want, how you want.

It does not get much better than this The G750JM is the entry level model for the new ROG line from Asus that is based on the latest GTX 800 series of Nvidia GPUs. Going by my experience with the G750JM over the past couple of weeks, I can only imagine what additional firepower its older siblings bring to the party!TL;DR version:##########This laptop is not for everyone. It is meant for gaming enthusiasts (hence the Republic of Gamers branding) and other power users who are willing to sacrifice battery life and portability for this level of power.Its main strengths are in its sturdiness (aluminum casing and rubberized exteriors), its computing horsepower (latest gen CPU and GPU with tons of software utilities), heat dissipation (unique new design based on copper heatsinks and heat pipes), and future proofing (Thunderbolt/HDMI allows up to 4 displays, HDMI supports eye popping 4K resolutions).Its biggest weakness is its audio (even with ROG AudioWizard and the built-in subwoofer.)In the “what else could you expect in this class” category: it is heavy (11lbs) and its battery life while respectable, is limited.Finally, in the “try before you buy” category: its anti-glare matte display is not for everyone. I personally love it – there are no reflections. At all. However, some users will see patterns (horizontal or vertical lines) that will drive them to distraction.Full Review########This laptop is a gamer’s dream – with a latest gen i7-4700HQ processor, 12GB RAM, the Nvidia GTX860M GPU, 1TB drive (Toshiba MQ01ABD100), and a 17.3″ anti glare display. And, if that power weren’t enough, you get the ability to overclock the GPU using a simple software tool.Target Demographic===============This laptop is designed for power users (gamers, video editors, animators, engineers, developers, etc.) who need a portable replacement for their desktop. For all other users, this laptop is not only overkill, it may actually be a problem in terms of battery life and luggable weight.Design======With its rubberized black lid, dull matte finish, and black aluminum casing, this is a laptop that looks like its design was inspired by a spy plane. There are lots of small aesthetic touches that make it a pleasure to look at – the glowing power button that would not be out of place on Krypton, the discreet glowing LED on the lid, the brushed aluminum wrist rest, and even its raised rear vents. This is a machine that looks as mean as it performs!Weight======All that aluminum and copper means that this is not going to be the laptop that you’ll take on holiday. Even its power brick is massive – possibly large enough to contain a mini nuclear reactor.Display=====Its screen is a joy to use – large, bright, brilliant colors, and no reflections – even in broad daylight. Which means that movies are fun and games are immersive. The matte screen is not for everyone, however, and might be annoying for anyone who actually notices the line-like patterns on the screen.Keyboard=======A backlit keyboard is a mandatory requirement for me, and the G750 even supports 3 levels of brightness. I am a heavy touch typist, and the wrist rest provides solid support and there is no noticeable flex in the keyboard. The keys are comfortable to use and I have not noticed any fatigue over extended sessions.Touchpad=======I’m normally aggravated by most laptop touchpads, but this one is designed very well – the buttons are easy to click, it is very responsive, and all actions are intuitive and happen without any fuss. One tip is to turn off some of the edge gestures that you tend to trip unintentionally. For instance, my typing posture often sets off the swipe from the right edge action that brings up the Win 8.1 charms menu, so I used Asus’ Smart Gesture application to turn it off.Heat====I own a Toshiba gaming laptop, and without an active cooling pad, I literally fry my thighs. By contrast, the G750 is much less problematic because it vents its exhaust out the rear and away from you. However, it does get hot, particularly around the left rear vent. In addition, once the fan kicks in, it can be fairly noisy.Performance=========It takes about 30 seconds to boot up – possibly due to its 5400rpm hard drive. Its GPU was able to drive Spec Ops The Line at highest quality with no problems for over 3 hours of gameplay last night. The game is spectacular to begin with, and the atmosphere was replicated perfectly on the G750. Games such as Civ5 and XCom were just as great – though they do not tax the GPU quite as much.Productivity applications and video editors all ran comfortably – making the G750 truly a versatile tool.Battery life:=======I only got about 150 minutes of full…
