Asus G750j Republic of Gamers Laptop Computer Review
Asus G750JS-T4064H Gaming Notebook Review
Boxy, menacing, fast. Asus launches a new gaming laptop featuring the overclocked premium GPU in its "Democracy of Gamers" production line. High expectations are set up when holding a laptop from this range. It is with good reason that Asus calls it Elite Series.
For the original German language review, come across hither.
The Democracy of Gamers branding has always stood for thepremium range of Asus' gaming laptops, and every generation achieved impressive scores so that the gamer not only visually immerses in the Earth of Games, only also experiences the entire gaming atmosphere via thetwo.1 sound system.
A17.iii-inch Full HD screen and a package that was designed for gaming contributes to this gaming experience. Asus now also endeavors to innovate the new Nvidia GTX 800 series, and installs the GTX 870M in our instance. We introduced the new G750 range that stands out with its hit features in July 2013.
The line, dubbedElite Series by Asus, at present consistently sports an Intel Core i7-4700HQ CPU. The buyer can opt between the GTX 860M, 870M or 880M among other things and this explains the big cost differences. The 860M version starts at 1400 Euros (~$1912), the 870M model that we are testing costs 400 Euros (~$546) more, and finally the top model with the GTX 880M for 2000 Euros (~$2731).
First, we would similar to wait at the comparison models, which represent either direct or indirect competition. Among them is One's K73-4N, also with a GTX 870M merely a higher clocked Intel Core i7-4800MQ processor. Ane's K73-4Nundercuts the purchase toll of Asus' device past almost150 Euros (~$205) at 1660 Euros (~$2267). Another player is MSI's GT70 that features an Nvidia GTX 880M and Intel Core i7-4800MQ for l Euros (~$68) more. To complete the team, we will use theelevation of gaming in the form of Schenker's XMG P704 that sports an Nvidia GTX 880M like MSI'south machine, only which sports the high-finish Intel Cadre i7-4910MQ. Sold for a significantly college purchase price of 2800 Euros (~$3824), we will analyze whether theboosted 1000 Euros (~$1366) is justified and to what extent it tin can go along up with the G750JS or whether it even outperforms it.
Theunusual build and amatte, rubber-coated plastic casing take impressed us ever since the G46 product line. The blueprint featuring sharp edges already suggests the ability of Asus' G750JS. Although the laptop is annihilation just a lightweight, weighingfour kg (~8.8 lbs), it is 700 grams (~one.five lbs) lighter andeight mm (~0.3 in) thinner than the model sporting Nvidia'south GTX 880M. In contrast, MSI's GT70 is 5 cm (~2 in) thicker and 300 grams (~0.66 lbs) lighter than Asus' G750JS, but does not use visible gimmicks.
When opened, the user finds abrushed aluminum plate effectually the keyboard. Both sides of the work surface area slope off in a trapeze shape. The chrome-ringed trackpad and ROG logo adorn the keyboard area. The looks of both the closed and opened device in conjunction with the materials and edges already propose what is inside. The safe blanket is apoor pick in terms ofcleanliness. Information technology attracts grit and the brushed plate exhibits every fingerprint.
The plastic underside allows accessing the hard bulldoze and working memoryafter removing one spiral. All screws are tastefully protected by rubber caps that can be removed easily. The battery, that looks modest in contrast to the other laptops, can be released or replaced by the familiar slider. Overall, the Asus G750JS not only feels expert, it also conveys agood quality impression. The dimensions and weight exercise not give the laptop a beefy advent, but lets it look powerful and menacing. Furthermore, Asus has eliminated the crooked hinge of our Asus G750JW review sample, and the new laptop from the G750 line makes animpeccable esthetic impression. The but adverse things are that the display isa bit too loose, which is noticed when the laptop is turned around, and thecountless condom stoppers on the display's bezel.
No modifications have been made in port distribution or number of interfaces since the release of the new G750 line. All ports are on either the left or right because thevents and the battery exercisenot allow a placement on the laptop's rear. The only thing new is that aBlu-ray drive rather than a DVD drive is at present installed. The audio ports on the right are a thing of gustation as they occasionally proved to be interfering. The incorporated Thunderbolt port can prepare Asus' G750JS for the time to come by making information technology possible to use external graphics cards and supercede all kinds of missing ports. Unfortunately, Thunderbolt adapters are usually very pricey. In sum, the laptop features more than an adequate count of ports that have, past and large, been placed in theright position.
Advice
An important innovation is the new "Bigfoot Networks Killer Wireless 1202" Wi-Fi adapter. It was questioned whether the Broadcom 802.11ac would still be used for the production line in the erstwhile test. Rather than a transmission rate of 876 Mbit/southward like in the former model, the new Wi-Fi adapter "simply" promises300 Mbit, but also "Advanced Stream Detection". That ways that the commuter has specifically been developed for gaming and streaming purposes. Technically, the drivers are programmed so that games and streaming services have a college priority and that they receive more time on the advice module via priority waiting lines.
Accessories
At that place areno noteworthy accessories included for Asus' G750JS. A Velcro cable tie, a fewROG stickers, amicrofiber material, and diverse printed documents are found. Optional ROG accessories, such as a mouse or headset, can be ordered on the manufacturer's website. Regrettably, there are no accessories specifically developed for the G750 line.
Maintenance
Equally mentioned above, information technology isvery piece of cake to access the working memory modules and hard drives by removing their plastic comprehend. Theentire base of operations plate has to be taken off for more far-reaching maintenance, which is tedious. In view of the big vents, it would exist expected that cleaning the fans would at to the lowest degree exist uncomplicated, only the entire laptop has to exist disassembled for that. More than information tin exist found in the review of the precursor.
Warranty
Asus includes the well-known2-yearpick upwardly & render manufacturer's warranty and telephone support. Like about major manufacturers, optional warranty extensions and insurances can be added for a surcharge. The large ROG community can be asked in instance of questions or issues. News virtually this series is posted in a blog in its own forum, and users can assistance each other.
Keyboard
The modifiedchiclet keyboard (37 x 10.5 - 12.ii cm; ~xiv.6 x four.1 to iv.8 inches) of the G750 line convinces with avery good pressure point and athree-level backlight. The number pad and the keyboard are separated by 9 mm spacing. The arrow keys are centered merely below this gap. The inconsistent spacing and the positioning of the neighboring keys needs some familiarization when using the arrow keys and keyboard at the same time.
Both the feedback and typing feel aresubjectively pleasing and the restrained stroke racket is more than simply acceptable. The keyboard is the perfect tool for gaming owing to the standard-sized arrow keys and accurate pressure signal.
Like before, the only complaint is that Asus does non comprise additional keys instead of FN combos, or hot keys for gaming - there is enough room for that.
Touchpad
A big laptop calls for a large touchpad - at least that might come to mind when looking at Asus' G750SJ. The size of 11.seven x 6.six cm (~iv.6 x 2.6 in) is gigantic compared with MSI's GT70 and One'southward K73-4N. It also pleases with accurate and smooth gestures.
Gesture control for up to three fingers can be configured via the includedAsus Smart Gesture software. Scrolling, zooming, and rotating are only a few of the settings that we not simply like, merely also office smoothly and accurately. A fourth finger is detected, only in that location are no optional settings for it. An important withal not always available setting is disabling the touchpad when an external mouse is used. This is easily accomplished via the included tool in this case. Both defended mouse keys feature a soft and even pressure point with an agreeable feedback.
Touchpads normally cannot replace an external mouse, simply the term "replacement" is more than than justified. The functional total parcel of the new G750SJ isdecent, and the additional,elegant chrome looks of the band split up information technology from the residuum of the keyboard unit. We were disappointed to find the accuracy in the pad's corners is not maintained or even completely vanishes.
What function does the screen have in a gaming and desktop replacement system? It is the interface between hardware and user, and presents all the performance and beauty of the application. That is exactly the reason why the standards should be set high here. Inferior screens often simply restrict the game's playing worthiness.
TheAUO Full Hard disk drive screen'southward average brightness of 273 cd/grand² lags far backside the rates of the former G750 line and behind itscontenders, which can "shine" with an boilerplate brightness ofover 330 cd/m². It can be said that Asus has taken a step in the wrong direction at this point and should once again achieve rates like in the onetime G750 line. To improve in all respects, Asus should use an IPS screen in its pricey loftier-functioning machines.

Although the contrast of575:ane shows some improvement, all comparison devices take an outstanding dissimilarity of m:1, which is a departure of approximately75%. The combination of brightness and contrast lead to ablack level of 0.48 cd/chiliad², which is acceptable and renders a decent black in movies and gloomier games.
We recorded agood issue of 80% that can compete with all contenders in the sRGB color infinite coverage. Asus' G750JS achieved a coverage of59% in theAdobeRGB color space assessment. These are normal rates for a college-quality TN screen, merelynot sufficient for professional person use.
We have discovered a typical pattern in the assay of the color reproduction. Aclear bluish cast is visible in the country of delivery when looking closer, which was already common for the screens in the sometime models. This phenomenon is non noticeable or even distracting in "normal" awarding fields, only TN screens should not be used in the professional person field due to the just mentioned color infinite coverage.
We examined the DeltaE shift in the color accuracy assay and received middling rates ofjust over 8 in both colors and grayscale. Better CalMAN results were achieved by the Asus G750JZ, which sports an Nvidia GTX 880M, because Asus installs its ain colour contour simply in this model.
Barely anyone will desire to use theover 4 kilogram (~8.viii lbs) laptop outdoors, although matte screens are designed forpotential outdoor employ. Nonetheless, the screen looksquite nighttime due to the insufficiently low effulgence, and should not be used in direct sunlight. It is possible to work quite well and without abrasive reflections in slightly shadier places using maximum brightness.
Information technology soon becomes evident that colors and effulgence deviate when looking at the screen from the sides.Asus touts a viewing angle stability of140 degrees, which we can only confirm to an extent here. We could verify this stability in the former G750 models, and just discovered deviations in different tilt angles. Though it volition not impair the lone user, we ascertainedvisible colour and effulgence differences in the sofa examination, i.e. the laptop is on a tabular array and a group of friends intends to watch videos or the similar on the laptop.
Ability - that is what Asus' G750JS has been made for and it tin can excel with premium range components. It sports an Intel Cadre i7-4700HQ that clocks with 2.four GHz, which tin can vary between three.ii GHz in Turbo Heave mode and 800 MHz in energy-saving mode in quad-core operation. MSI'due south GT70 and 1'southward K73-4N both sport the i7-4800MQ that has a higher Heave, and consequently, also achieves a higher level despite the same cache and identical base of operations clock.
Despite the fact that the G750JS features premium range components, Asuscould have certainly upgraded the CPU to an i7-4800MQ / 4900MQ in view of the toll of 1800 Euros (~$2459). They take more cache and/or a college clock with the same TDP.
System information: Asus G750JS-T4064H
As a high-performance laptop CPU, Intel'southward Core i7-4700HQ is usually establish in larger 15 or 17-inch models. Since the integrated Intel HD 4600 graphics card is active, switching between the dedicated and internal graphics cards is possible. That spares both the bombardment and electricity bills. Intel'south Core i7-4700HQ has abase clock of two.seven GHz and features a Turbo way that enables a short performance boost. Thus, a Turbo speed of upwards to three.four GHz can be reached in unmarried-cadre fashion, i.e. when just1 of the four cores is loaded. That is 200 MHz more than thepossible 3.2 GHz in multi-cadre operation.
Asus' laptop isdefeated past all contenders inCinebench R15 because they sport Intel'southward Core i7-4800MQ and thus have ahigher boost and tin can thus achieve higher functioning. Despite that, with a score of 641 points the CPU performs well in multi-core operation, which does non change in battery fashion.
We did not notice any unusual performance deficits in other respects and did not ascertain throttling either.

Asus' G750JS is aperfect combination of SSD hard drive, premium range graphics card and CPU. It e'er makes a swift andready-to-go impression subjectively.
ThePCMark 7 score of 5348 points confirms our feeling because this score is considerably college than that of MSI's GT70 with its magnetic hard bulldoze and which accomplished alower totalscore of 3566 points. The laptop with the most similar hardware seems to exist One'due south K73-4N that sports a slightly modified CPU. That is also the reason whyOne'south device reaps in700 points more than than Asus' G750JS.

Every bit mentioned, Asus' G750JS sportstwo hard drives, one of which is an SSD that is divided into two partitions ex-factory. The SSD has a 100 GB system drive and a 120 GB data drive. The magnetic drive is divide up equally. This combination enables brusk admission times and plenty storage for all kinds of data at the same time. The 1.5 TB HDD's access time ofover 16 ms tin can in no fashion be put in relation to the SSD'southward rates.
Like the G750JS, both 1's K73-4N and Schenker's XMG P704 also sport SSD drives. Both accomplished an approximately 70MB/due south college speed in the sequential read/write test.

Nvidia'due south GeForce GTX 870M is apremium range graphics card based on Nvidia's Kepler architecture. Information technology has 3 GB of defended memory and Asus overclocks the cadre clock to981 - thousand MHz rather than 941 - 967 MHz in our case. Nvidia's Optimus switches between both graphics units imperceptibly for the user. We tested the graphics card'due south overclocking with3DMark eleven and the divergence between both scores wasnot fifty-fifty 3%. Thus, Nvidia's GTX 870M score of7151 points is approximately 185 points more than without overclocking.
A look at One's K73-4N shows that both laptops achieve similar rates in 3DMark Vantage and 3DMark 11,although the Asus GPUoverclocks. Nevertheless, a terrific score of24,000 points is accomplished in3DMark Vantage, which surpass Nvidia'southward GTX 870M precursor, i.e. the GTX 770M, by approximately 26%. The difference of approximately 38% in 3DMark 11 is fifty-fifty more than hitting.
Asus' laptop cannot compete with the stronger Nvidia GTX 880M that is installed in both MSI's GT70 and Schenker'south XMG P704. MSI'south machine achieves a chiliad point higher score in 3DMark 11 and 4000 points in 3DMark Vantage.
The dedicated graphics menu cannot and should non be used in battery mode for a long menstruum due to its high ability consumption. However, information technology is possible to use information technologywithout a great operation loss according to our tests. The scores achieved in bombardment mode in both 3DMark 06 and 3DMark 11 were inside the normal variance of results.

Now for the exam that laptops like Asus' G750JS were made for - gaming. Most games should non be a big problem with Nvidia's GTX 870M. We volition meet where compromises have to be made based on our benchmark scores and compare the contenders with Nvidia'due south GTX 880 at the same time.
A difference between both graphics card models is already evident in the game FarCry three . While FarCry 3 is but yet adequately playable with an average of 27.seven fps on Asus' laptop, Nvidia'due south GTX 880M in Schenker's XMG P704 allows a considerably smoother gameplay with almost 36 fps.
These few frames per second often decide whether the user can immerse into a game or if he volition be annoyed by recurrent pocket-size stutters. Grid two and FIFA fourteen renderedso many frames that a faster graphics carte does non make a visible difference. The upshot of the performance-devouring game Company of Heroes is interesting. The GTX 880 in MSI's GT70 only managed 24.1 fps, which isii fps more than than the GTX 870M. Generally, the rates that Asus' laptop achieves are in themidfield of the laptops featuring Nvidia's GTX 870M. Our section about the gaming performance of laptop graphics cards provides a larger pick of games and comparing rates likewise for Nvidia's GTX 870M.

System Noise
As known from the Elite Series, the producednoise level is pleasantly repose. However, a pocket-sized drawback of this line is the slight but barely audiblewhistling noise when idle. Disregarding this peculiarity, the average idle racket is 31 dB(A), which isthree - 4 dB(A) lower than the contenders.
The drive's additional high racket level when rendering DVDs and Blu-rays can exist distracting. However, information technology is just perceived every bit a quiet buzzing with 38.2 dB(A) here and consequently does not seem annoying.
Load operation is naturally interesting because it is the most of import scenario for a laptop with outstanding performance. Asus' G750JS achieves an average noise of 41.three dB(A). That is farbelow its contenders even with a maximum of 50.4 dB(A). One's K73-4N with a similar configuration is clearly to a higher place Asus' laptop with an average of 49 dB(A) and maximum of 52.3 dB(A).

The G750 production line isknown for its good circulation and waste estrus dissipation via itsdual arrangement fans. The temperature evolution in the keyboard area and on the laptop's underside were noticed. We performed the tests in an ambient temperature of 24 °C (75.2 °F). Asus' laptop didnon surpass 30 °C (86 °F) when idle and only reached a temperature of over 29 °C (84.ii °F) on the underside. Its contenders achieve like rates and only Schenker's XMG P704 noticeably steps out of line with 33.5 degrees.
Load operation shows but how well the cooling system really works and we recorded a temperature of over40 degrees (104 °F) only twice. In particular, the keyboard side never exceeded 35 °C (95 °F), which is very pleasant and volition not adversely bear on typing.
The thighs never got too hot in our renowned on-the-lap exam. Nonetheless, users should recall twice whether they want to utilise an over four kilogram (~8.eight lbs) heavy automobile that fashion.
The power supply's temperature ranged from32.3 °C (ninety.14 °F) when idle and a hot 51.iv °C (124.52 °F) during load, and thus should not exist covered by a pillow or blankets.
A peculiarity is seen in the stress test. Asus' laptop does not throttle despite maximum functioning and can even sometimes maintain its Turbo. A consequence could be that some games will run a chip smoother than on other laptops nether full load.
We did not notice any losses when we repeated the benchmarks after an hour of stress testing. The well-designed cooling arrangement past Asus provided a truly outstanding result.

The speakers installed below the brandish and thesubwoofer, with a diameter of three cm (~one.2 in) on the underside, are more than than sufficient for normal home use. In particular, the book tin can exist turned upwardly extremely high, and the bass produced by the subwoofer is acceptable for a laptop. The default configuration ex-factory could be criticized. It delivers a flake too much treble and volition accept to be adjusted. Overall, the2.1 sound system provides agood sound that is non heard from many laptops.
Power Consumption
The depression minimumidle power consumption of11 Watts will exist seen in the battery runtime. The effulgence is set to minimum and advice modules similar Wi-Fi are off. The identically equipped One K73-4N consumes almost 4 Watts more and Schenker's XMG P704, which counts as the ultimate loftier-operation car in this test, reaches a quite high 20 Watts. Non more than 23.8 Watts are consumed fifty-fifty using Wi-Fi and maximum brightness, which is 5 - 10 Watts less than the comparison devices.
The defended graphics card is enabled during load. It has a significantly higher consumption and demands 181.ii Watts from the ability supply in the stress exam. That is very shut to thepower supply's limits in view of a voltage of xix.5 V and nine.23 A. The maximum ability consumption is lower than the 196 Watts from 1's K73-4N, but it also comes with a potent 230 W power supply. The results are fortunately around 100 Watts outside the stress test, which the power supply easily manages.
The battery runtime of high-performance machines is usuallycurt due to the power consumption of the premium components. This fact tin also be translated to thebattery'due south size that suggests a short battery runtime at first glance. Nevertheless, we achieved a remarkable idle runtime ofover 10 hours that is in no way typical for this laptop category. 1's K73-4N and Schenker's XMG P704 managed a runtime of 3 - four hours, and MSI'southward GT70 accomplished a amend still not competitive time of 6.v hours.
Asus' laptop still achieved a good time ofalmost 5.v hours in theWi-Fi test. MSI's GT70 tops that by an hour. Power is demanded from the laptop in theload test and consequently not only higher clock rates, but also switching to Nvidia's dedicated GPU is the reason why the runtimedrops to 1:28 h.
Overall, Asus' laptop achieved astonishing results that could considerably influence the buy conclusion. Autonomously from the awesome runtime for this laptop category, we also like the like shooting fish in a barrel-to-replace battery.
A supplementary and interesting fact is that the battery needs162 minutes for recharging.
