Asus G750JH review: A swift, silent superhero of a gaming laptop

October 30, 2013

In today’s Ultrabook- and MacBook Air–obsessed world, you’d be forgiven for thinking that heavy, hulking desktop replacements no longer have any role to play. But Asus’s Republic of Gamers G750JH is here to prove you wrong. Can your Ultrabook deliver excellent performance and top-quality audio, and pump out 55.4 frames per second on a game like Bioshock Infinite (at 1920 by 1080 resolution, with visual quality set to Ultra)? No it can’t. Does your Ultrabook sport a 1TB HDD, a 256GB SSD, and a Blu-ray optical drive? I didn’t think so. Does it weigh 10 pounds (not including the 2-pound power brick)? Well...no system is perfect. The Asus G750JH is more than four times as fast as our baseline system, and only the Micro Express NB5720 gaming laptop outperformed it. This gaming powerhouse comes with everything you need and more. The G750JH earned a mark of 435 on our WorldBench 8.1 test suite, which means that it is more than four times as fast as our baseline model, an Asus VivoBook S550CA. It’s also the second-fastest laptop we’ve ever tested, losing out only to the similarly equipped Micro Express NB5720 gaming machine.
