4.0 out of 5 stars Great performing laptop but the user has to implement workarounds to lower temperatures, April 18, 2017

This review is from: ASUS ROG Strix G-SYNC 120 Hz Full HD VR Ready Ultra Thin and Light Gaming Laptop Computer GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Core i7-7700HQ, 16GB DDR4 DRAM, 128GB SSD, 1TB HDD, 15.6", Black - GL502VS-DS71 (Personal Computers)
There seems to be a lot of questions and sometimes misinformation floating around about this laptop so I'll answer the most common ones I see from online in this review.

Is the display 1920x1080? Yes.

Is the display IPS (In-plane switching)? Yes.

Is the refresh rate of the display 120 Hz? Yes.

Does the display have G-Sync? Yes.

What form factor is the SSD? It is M.2.

Is the memory dual channel? Yes, it's 2x8 GB.

Is the power supply 230 W (probably the most common question for this model)? Yes. See the attached image I took of my GL502VS-DS71 and the power supply it came with.

You can see the output is 19.5 V (Volts) and 11.8 A (Ampere). Volts * Ampere = Wattage (W). 19.5 V * 11.8 A = 230.1 W.

How hot does the GPU run? From my testing of games, which were The Witcher 3, Overwatch, and Dragon Age: Inquisition, the GTX 1070 hit an average of 77 degrees Celsius with a peak of 81 degrees... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars So far this laptop has been one of the best laptops I've ever bought, May 15, 2017

This review is from: ASUS ROG Strix G-SYNC 120Hz VR Ready Thin and Light Gaming Laptop GTX 1070 8GB Core i7-7700HQ 16GB 512GB SSD 1TB HDD, 17.3" - GL702VS-DS74 (Personal Computers)
So far this laptop has been one of the best laptops I've ever bought. I was searching for something thin and light to carry with me so I could work on the go, but I'm also a gamer so I wanted something I could have a good experience gaming on as well. The problem I kept running into was that a lot of thin laptops with a high end GPU (1070, 1080, etc.) were pairing the GPU with a 4K screen. I didn't want a 4K screen at 15 - 17 inches. I favor framerate and g-sync over resolution; and besides that a 1080p 17 inch screen already boasts a higher pixel density than my 27 inch 1440p g-sync monitor. At 4K I'd have to sacrifice visual options and frame rate for screen resolution. Pairing a 1070 with a 1080p high refresh rate screen was the sweet spot for me.

It worked out pretty good. This laptop is under 7 pounds, so super light for me, and is around an inch thick on average. The 512GB SSD loads all my applications for work super fast, and the 1TB HDD is there for larger projects,... Read more

This review is from: ASUS ROG Strix G-SYNC 120Hz VR Ready Thin and Light Gaming Laptop GTX 1070 8GB Core i7-7700HQ 16GB 512GB SSD 1TB HDD, 17.3" - GL702VS-DS74 (Personal Computers)
I bought the 17.3" i7-7700HQ with the GTX1070 and the 512 Gig SSD + 1TB spinning HD (Silver w/ orange accents).

I've only had this a few days but have put it through the tests. First up the build quality: 4 out of 5. As ROG laptops go it's great but not excellent. This however is not necessarily a negative. If it was 5 out of 5 it would be much heavier. This does weigh in at 6lbs not including the power brick. My biggest complaint is the amount of flex on the shell protecting the backside of the screen. I wish it was a little sturdier. The keys are snappy and responsive and should last long time. It is NOT a fingerprint magnet. The trackpad is adequate but has a flimsy feel.

There is one corner of light bleed on the bottom left corner. It radiates about 1.2 inches from the corner. It is not enough to make me grumpy and only noticeable when testing for it. During normal use and gaming...not noticeable at all. The screen is matte and very nice... Read more
