I am one of them (that will also take the time to post about it).
I've had my G750jx-TB71 since August 2013. It has exported hundreds of videos to my YouTube channel, and played countless Steam/Origin/Battle.net games.
I recently installed Windows 7 HP to a new SSD from Samsung. It runs substantially faster than it did new, now with the SSD. This is also the first time I have reinstalled Windows since I got the laptop, so that probably helps as well. I can overclock the GPU without issue. The CPU can overclock/underclock/undervolt as well, and I change it to my needs.
I have yet to do a full repaste or internal cleaning of the computer. Nothing more fancy than compressed air with the fan blades held still. Amazingly, it still runs generally as cool as it did day 1. My CPU was just idling at 39c.
Thanks to this forum I've also run my display at 100hz the entire life of the computer, plus run drivers direct from Nvidia, plus have the color calibrated profiles.
I wish Asus supported Windows 7 directly, but overall its been great running it with Windows 8 drivers. I also wish they supported Linux better. I have yet to try installing it, but it looks a little over my head. At least drivers for Steam OS would be helpful.
Also, amazingly, my battery is still at 80% of original capacity (~20% wear for almost 2.5 years of daily use). I'm guessing this is from the 95% recharge threshold that has dramatically reduced the charge cycles.
This is my first Asus computer, count me extremely happy.
