Depends on how cool you're keeping it. I have a Dell from 2008 that runs nearly non-stop without a hitch.
These G750s are pretty sturdy and cool pretty well, you will probably be fine running it nonstop. I would suggest
getting some sort of software to watch your CPU/GPU Temperature and fan speeds.
If you're not using the laptop you can always set your power setting to "do nothing" when you close the lid.
That way windows will run just fine and you wont have to worry about burning out your screen.

Actually, closing the lid is not the best idea for laptops. Part of the heat is released through the keyboard area.
The laptop should last maybe 4-5 years constant 24/7 being on... I'm assuming the CPU/GPU will fail first. If too much dust, your fans could suffer too. Clean every 6 months. I would remove the battery in that case (just as a precaution for the battery never undergoing charge-discharge cycles)

yeah, ill keep the lid up, for ventilation.
4-5 years.. where did you come up with that,
if you dont mind my asking?
and
how does a cpu fail?
I own a number of computers, some of them from the 1990's,
and they all still work...though i have never kept one on 24/7.
when you say "clean" every 6 months.. you mean open up the laptop and clean the fans?
how about putting some mesh infront of the vent, to stop the dust?
and lastely, the battery.
i had a long thread about what to do with the battery and
how to store it. but in the end, we all agreed it was best left in the laptop.

but id be happy to hear more about what you think on that topic.
this is super fun

Server's CPU lifespan is 10 years for being constant on. Will they last longer? likely... but they are made for 10 years. Since these laptops do not have server quality CPU, I assumed ~50% of server life. I got the info from a friend that works at intel.

I wouldn't put any mesh or filter in front of your vents. That could restrict airflow and just cause overheating. Sorry about the misdirection with closing the lid. I hadn't though about the heat dissipation through the keyboard.

Nonpossible, the G750 keyboard is sealed, there is no airflow through it. The G750 is pretty much closed to airflow except through the bottom vents.
You should be able to leave the screen lid down and not affect the cooling or CPU/GPU temperature.
Filtering the intake air with a mesh can be done without causing air flow problems - as long as you keep the outside of the mesh clear from obstruction - wipe the dust off.
Use hwinfo64 to monitor the CPU/GPU temps while the keyboard is covered with the lid down, and when the lid is up, see if it makes a difference. Same for the mesh.
