The G750J is a big machine, weighing in at over 10 pounds, and boasting a 17.3 inch LCD screen. It comes with an 2.40 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, Nvidia Geforce gtx 860m video card, 8gb of DDR3 ram, and a spacious, but disappointing 1TB HDD.
The G750J is quite impressive in its ability to handle games on high settings, where a lesser machine would be hard pressed to keep up. It also doesn't overheat thanks to its dual exhaust ports, and unlike many laptops, still stays cool to the touch.
Where I find this machine lacking is its HDD, which is a bottom of the barrel 5400 RPM drive. A computer is only as fast as its slowest component, and this is its weak link. I am guessing this is a cost saving move on the part of ASUS.
My advice if you can afford it, is to invest a hundred dollars into an SSD drive, and put your performance intensive programs on it, to speed up the overall performance of the machine.

The performance on battery is average. It seems to give about 2.5 hours on a charge if you use it intensively, and my advice would be to leave it plugged in if you are going to game on it, as the graphics seem to slow a bit on battery.
Overall, this is a solid mid-range gaming laptop that handles most games very well. I give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars. I would give it a 5 star rating if the hard drive was a bit more up to date with the rest of the machine. If you are looking for a mid-range gaming laptop, this should be at the top of your list of machines to look into.
