Design & Build
In all honesty, the notebook is quite hefty and won’t be a suitable alternative if you’re looking for a gaming notebook that you can tow along wherever you go. However, for the sheer power it offers, I believe that it’ll interest all the hardcore gamers who’re looking for a desktop substitute. Thebuild quality is top-notch, as you’d expect from a flagship notebook, and design-wise the notebook takes on Asus’ signature design language for its ROG line of gaming notebooks.
The notebook features a17.3-inch 1080p display with a refresh rate of 144Hz and a 3ms gray-to-gray response time. The display also includes support for Nvidia’s G-Sync technology and ananti-glare coating to reduce eye strainduring long gaming sessions. The display looks stunning at first glance, with great viewing angles and color accuracy, but we’ll get into more details in our in-depth review.
