ASUS ROG SCAR Edition (GL503VS) in-depth review

ASUS has definitely improved on the GL series with the last few updates and the GL503VS is a living example. Sporting a brand new more portable and minimalistic chassis along with a new high-refresh rate IPS display, the GL503VS offers a complete overhaul over its predecessor but is it all good?Luckily, the new design offers improvements in both directions over the GL502VS - better portability and better overall build quality. But how has that affected the notebook's cooling and overall performance? We hope the Core i7-7700HQ and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 won't suffer from lowered performance or overheat like in the previous version we reviewed. We are also interested to find out how the new 144Hz IPS panel stacks up against its direct competitors in terms of image quality.[...]

Health-Guard

Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced.
