ASUS ROG G501 video review – a new thin powerhouse is in town
It all started with MSI, Lenovo and Acer offering powerful gaming notebooks with impressively thin profile which was a great thing for a change. A lot of people were tired of compromising portability for performance and the other way around, but a new era is born. ASUS as upped the game with its new ASUS ROG G501 gaming laptop with the new GeForce GTX 960M GPU and at the same time boasts a significantly thinner profile than its direct competitors – Acer Aspire V15 Nitro Black Edition (read full review) and Lenovo Y50 (read full review).

I really want to buy the g501 but so far I found 0 retailers offering it in Sweden (or any other eu based online retailer that ships to sweden) its almost as if they dont want to sell these babies.
