ASUS ROG GL552VW in-depth review
The ASUS GL552 is a budget-oriented gaming notebook, part of the premium Republic of Gamers lineup, that hooked us for its really lucrative price-to-performance ratio.

Pros
- Same comfortable keyboard and improved touchpad

- Still maintains good performance/price ratio
- M.2 SATA SSD slot and USB Type-C port for fast data transfer and external display
Cons
- We expected more premium materials and sturdier construction
- Slightly thicker than its predecessor (34.75 mm, 2.6 kg)
- PWM across almost all brightness levels
