ASUS X756UQ/K756UQ review – looks good but fails to impress with everything else
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
So if you are not too invested in the 17-inch form factor, we suggest picking up a more sensible 15-inch solution like the ASUS VivoBook S15 for example or just go with the best possible 17-inch option for now – the Acer Aspire 5 (A517-71G) with Core i7-8250U CPU and GeForce MX150 GPU paired with an excellent IPS panel suitable for multimedia. And it costs less than the ASUS X756.

Customer satisfaction with ASUS notebooks concerns performance, the features, and the good price-performance ratio of ASUS notebooks. However, as with any brand, there are occasional reports of problems such as overheating, driver compatibility, or build quality issues.
