Moving the laptop around or prodding the panel will introduce bouncing, but this is not likely to occur since a gaming laptop normally remains stationary on the user's desk.Īs far as the styling goes, Asus definitely uses a more "in-your-face" approach here compared to the more subdued and understated Asus ROG Strix GL703VD or the Razer Blade Pro 2017, both of which could even make an appearance in a boardroom without raising eyebrows. The hinges are stiff enough to hold the display in any position up to the maximum opening angle of about 135 degrees with no noticeable wobbling while typing. Laptops like the more expensive Alienware 17 R4 feature much better build quality along with soft-touch rubberized surfaces and upscale, higher-end materials. The keyboard deck flexes noticeable as well - particularly in the area between the main section and the number pad - although this should only affect very heavy-handed typists. The lid twists easily and creaks audibly during the process even moderate pressure on the back leads to ripple effects and discoloration up front. Stability and build quality are a mixed bag: while the chassis itself resists flex very well with only minor creaking sounds and features tight tolerances, the display appears to be much less well put together with uneven gaps around the bezel. Speaking of carrying: fingerprints are an issue on both the lid and the deck, but removing them is much less tedious then it is on other laptops. The plastic on the keyboard deck features the same texture as the lid, while the bottom shell is made of much rougher plastic - a benefit in this case, as fingers won't slip easily when carrying the unit. While the body consists of plastic, the back of the display is made from brushed metal with a hairline texture finish and adorned with the prominent chrome-colored Asus logo and two angled accent stripes, both of which start glowing red when the laptop is turned on. For our comparison, we'll take a look at other gaming rigs like the Alienware 17 R4, Acer Predator 17 X, and the MSI GT75VR 7RF Titan Pro, among others.Īsus uses a mix of materials for the construction of the GL702VI.

The 17.3-inch ROG Strix GL702VI-WB74 is far removed from mainstream though, as it packs some serious power: a 7th-generation Intel quad-core CPU, 16 GB of RAM, SSD plus HDD, and a high-end Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card add up to an overall very pleasing gaming performance. Asus' ROG Strix series of gaming laptops targets the mainstream-to-premium segment and really needs no further introduction.
