    Did they change how to clean the fans over the g750? Or is it still a nightmare?

    You will still need to use compressed air.

    Nope, my only qualm about the g751. And compressed air probably just blows the dust deeper into the heatsink due to the G-series' design.
    On the up side, if you really want to go above and beyond in cleaning it, there'll probably be some forumphile that will do a step by step disassemble of the G751.
    That's actually what I did for my current G750 a few months ago - completely disassembled it, cleaned out the fans, replaced the 802.11n standard card with a 802.11ac one, and repasted both the GPU and CPU. It's a really delicate process, but you really get to know your computer up close and personal.

    If you blow from both ends the particles will be dislodged and come out. It's more the electrostatic attraction you are breaking.
