Can it run modern games?

Only at low settings, and many recent AAA titles will be unplayable. It is better suited to older games, indies and esports titles.

Is it good for school or office work?

Yes for desk use: the Core i7 and large screen handle documents, browsing and video well. Its weight and battery make it a poor daily commuter.

Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?

Yes. The G750 series has an accessible bottom panel for memory and drive upgrades, and this configuration already ships with 20GB RAM and a 500GB SSD.

Does it have USB-C or Thunderbolt?

No. It predates USB-C, so expect USB 3.0 ports, HDMI and a card reader instead.

How big and heavy is it?

It is a 17.3-inch desktop replacement at roughly 9 pounds, so plan on a large bag and mostly stationary use.

What comes in the box?

The laptop and its AC power supply and cord. No mouse or bag is included.

About the ASUS ROG G750JW 17.3" Gaming Laptop

The ROG G750JW is a 17.3-inch gaming laptop from ASUS's 2013 G750 line, built around an Intel Core i7-4700HQ and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M. Its party piece is a big 1080p screen and a chassis with generous rear cooling vents, which owners say keeps it quiet and cool under load for a gaming laptop of its era. The trade-off is bulk: it weighs close to 9 pounds and needs a large bag and a desk outlet. Against slimmer 17-inch rivals it wins on cooling and screen size but loses on portability and battery life, and the GTX 765M is now a modest card that handles older and lighter titles rather than current AAA games at high settings.
