Is this one okay?
th3l34sh, it's good to post the actual info, rather than just a link, as those listings change over time. Here is what I found there:
Kingston Technology 8GB 1600MHz DDR3L (PC3-12800) 1.35V Non-ECC CL11 SODIMM Intel Laptop Memory KVR16LS11/8
Are you intending on replacing all 4 SODIMM's? If so then yes, those could be ok, but unless someone posts that they have tried these specifically, then it is unknown. I am concerned that the specifications pdf says it has both SPD 1.5v and 1.35v, they don't say which model/configuration has which - you want the 1.35v SPD - as that is what is required by the G751 Haswell CPU.
http://www.kingston.com/datasheets/KVR16LS11_8.pdfYou need to make sure the SPD of any memory is set to 1.35v, not simply tested as compatible with 1.35v. If the SPD is set to 1.5v then the G751 will run at that voltage, which can damage the CPU.
If you want to add SODIMM's to what your laptop comes with, you want to use CPU-Z to find out what is installed, and buy the same make/model for best compatibility. If you have 4GB SODIMM's that came with the laptop and want to use 8GB's for the 2 open slots, then you can google the make/model of the 4GB's to find the 8GB model in the same family, those are also compatible.
It is a hit or miss situation when mixing brands even if the spec's listed suggest they are compatible. If you check the other thread, many have had problems and after trying something else first and fail, they then check what they have installed and order more of the same and run aok.
The G750 can run higher speed SODIMM's, tested up to 2133mhz, at their full speed, so if you are going to replace all 4 SODIMM's you might as well get a performance boost too. A number of G750 owners reported these work at 2133mhz, you could try them in the G751:
G.SKILL Ripjaws 32GB (4 x 8G) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3L 2133 Laptop Memory Model F3-2133C11Q-32GRSL

Please post a snipping tool image of your CPU-Z Memory and SPD tab's showing the memory that came with your laptop. It looks like this:

2x4GB Kingston ASU16D3LS1KFG/4G
What do you have installed?
I can't find a spec sheet on the ASU16D3LS1KFG/4G, it is a special build for Asus, but it might be that Kingston you found, if it runs at 1.35v, might be a good fit
🙂You could order it and give it a shot, and please come back and let us know the results
