    ASUS ROG GL502VT in-depth review

    Several months ago we shared with you that the then-upcoming ROG GL502 by ASUS would come at a great price and be one of the best gaming notebooks out there. Now the machine is on the market and naturally, we took one for in-depth testing. This model is especially interesting because of its stylish metal ultra-thin body, great performance and good price.There must be a catch somewhere but wherever it is, it is not on the specs sheet - Intel Core i7-6700HQ, GeForce GTX 970M and IPS screen with Full HD or 4K resolution. We all know that NVIDIA has already released GeForce GTX 10xx but it[...]

    Pros

    • Great appearance
    • Rigid construction with metal lid
    • Very thin and relatively light body (24-25 mm, 2.37 kg)
    • Many connectivity options
    • Bottom can be removed quickly for easy upgrades
    • Powerful processor (Core i7-6700HQ) and graphics (GTX 970M)
    • Really fast M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD (if it's SM951)
    • IPS display with high brightness and great potential
    • Good battery life
    • Stable frame rates after hours of gaming

    Cons

    • PWM across almost all brightness levels (w/o Health-Guard)
    • Just one DDR4 slot
    • Lack of G-Sync support
    • Relatively high surface temps after long hours of gaming
