Notebook Asus N750J: specifications, photos and reviews

The company "Asus" does not cease to please the novelties of its fans. About half a year ago, the brand released a new 750-th line, which rightfully can be attributed to the multimedia series. All models are available with a diagonal of 17.3 inches and are assembled on the basis of Intel processors with well-proven Haswell architecture.

Consider the most prominent representative line - laptop Asus N750J: characteristics, design, ergonomics and autonomy. In the calculation will be taken opinions of experts and reviews of simple owners of the device.

Completeness

The laptop goes in the factory and relatively bulky package with a pen that has the traditional design for the "Asus" and N-series design. And the bulkiness is explained by a large amount of unoccupied space - in empty boxes-liners, air and everything. Owners Asus N750J more than once expressed bewilderment about this in their reviews.

The device itself is packed in a tissue envelope, and next to it you can see a 120 W charger (6.32 A) and a pretty external subwoofer. There is also a warranty card, a cloth for wiping the screen, a brief manual for starting work, a Velcro for twisting cables and a detailed instruction in Russian for the Asus N750J (factory settings, causes, consequences and troubleshooting, detailed specifications, etc.) .

Configuration

The filling can change along with the price tag on the laptop: only the processors, RAM and hard disk vary. In our case, we will consider the most optimal model in terms of price / performance ratio - Asus N750J i7-4700HQ (MQ) in combination with the Intel chipset НМ86 with a clock frequency of 2.4 GHz (in Turbobust mode it can be increased to 3, 4 GHz).

The size of the cache of the third level is 6 megabytes with a TDP processor of 47 watts. For the video streams is a comparatively powerful integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600 card with a base frequency of 400 MHz with the ability to overclock to 1.2 GHz, which, judging from the feedback of users, is a very good option for a laptop.

In addition to the built-in video chip, the Asus N750J is equipped with a discrete Nvidia card in the form of the GeForce GT 750M series with 4 GB of memory. Some users in their reviews complain about GDDR3, which does not fully reveal the capabilities of the processor, but, nevertheless, this card refers to gaming solutions.

RAM

Two memory slots are provided for installing the RAM . It's a little confusing how the manufacturer was guided during the assembly, but almost all models with i7 got a 8 GB slot in one slot and 4 GB in another, and from different vendors (Hynix and Kingston). Accordingly, the bars can not work in a two-channel mode, but the difference in performance in our case is minimal and the human eye is not noticeable.

HDD

That pleased many owners of Asus N750J - the characteristics of the hard drive, namely two hard drives in the amount of terabytes. This is a new 2.5-inch samples from Seagate 9.5 mm thick on the SATA 2 interface (3 Gb / s). The only thing that is a little disappointing is the lack of the BIOS's ability to configure disks in a RAID array, so you'll have to use hard drives as two separate devices.

Design

The case of Asus N750J is completely metal, and the lid is made of high-quality aluminum. The laptop itself is painted in gray with a bronze hue. Matte surface can not be called, fingerprints though remain, but practically are not noticeable, and they are removed quite simply, so the deviled device will not look in any (reasonable) case. In the center of the cover you can see the firm logo "Asus", which is beautifully highlighted if the laptop is turned on.

The lower part of the Asus N750J is painted black and looks unshakable. There are a ventilating grille and screws fastening. It is worth noting that the manufacturer has done everything so that the owner could not open the device cover himself by equipping it with special screws for the Torx branded screwdriver, which, by the way, is not so easy to find. Many owners of the device in their reviews hajut designers for such "prudence", but all dares after purchase of the above-mentioned screwdriver.

The working surface is made in a stylish silver color, along with the keys themselves, and the screen frame is made of pretty attractive black plastic with a webcam at the top. The surface is matte, so fingerprints are difficult to leave. Above the work area, you can see only two buttons: power on / off and a programmable key for quick launch of applications. All the LED indicators (5 pieces) that reflect the current status of the Asus N750J are moved to the front face (directly under the touchpad), so it's easy to see even when the lid is closed.

The screen is attached to the work surface by a long hinge loop, which runs almost the entire body. This allows you to deflect the screen relative to the body up to 150 degrees. The loop has a relatively tight stroke, so the user has the opportunity to lock the screen in any convenient position for him.

Interfaces

On the left side of the laptop you can see two USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI connector, an RJ-45 internet port, a mini-display connector, a memory card slot and an output for connecting the charger. It is worth noting? That the specific Internet connection RJ-45 has a secret cover, which allowed designers to make the laptop body even more subtle.

On the right side of the device are a couple of USB connectors of the third version, two audio outputs (mini-jacks) for headphones with a microphone, an interface for connecting a subwoofer, an optical drive and a Kensington lock. Some users complain in their responses to the lack of specific blue markings on the USB ports of the third series, confusing them with the previous generation, but this is a matter of habit, so it is difficult to write down this shortcoming.

Screen

The device is equipped with a Chinese matrix Chi Mei N173HGE based on white LEDs. Some company officials write in the specification that the laptop has an IPS-scan, but in fact it is not, the NxHGE-series refers to the TN type of matrices, so do not bother with the marketing tricks of online stores.

The notebook has a 17.3-inch diagonal screen with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels with standard brightness, contrast and overall color saturation. It should be noted right away that the touch screen declared at the exhibition was never installed by designers, so do not flatter yourself - the screen is normal, matte with anti-reflective coating.

Autonomous work

To test the device's autonomy, two scenarios are provided: working with text, photography and the network along with watching videos in HD format. The power consumption mode is set to "Balanced", and the brightness is set by default.

In the first case, the laptop worked for about five and a half hours, and in the second scenario it lasted for three hours. We can say that the indicator of battery life at a high level.

Summarizing

The laptop has a productive filling from Intel and Nvidia, along with a solid stock of RAM and storage space (2 TB). And although the manufacturer positions the model as a multimedia laptop, due to its high performance it can be used as a mid-level gaming device. That is, in fact, a laptop is a full-fledged option for replacing a stationary computer, and this is one of the critical factors in the choice of personal equipment.

Here you can add a good screen, excellent sound, a good battery life and a relatively low price (for the segment) - about 60 thousand rubles (spring 2016). You can recommend a model to anyone who does not regret the good and high-quality thing of such money.
