ASUS ROG GL502VT in-depth review

Several months ago we shared with you that the then-upcoming ROG GL502 by ASUS would come at a great price and be one of the best gaming notebooks out there.

This model is especially interesting because of its stylish metal ultra-thin body, great performance and good price.There must be a catch somewhere but wherever it is, it is not on the specs sheet - Intel Core i7-6700HQ, GeForce GTX 970M and IPS screen with Full HD or 4K resolution.

Pros

  • Great appearance
  • Rigid construction with metal lid
  • Very thin and relatively light body (24-25 mm, 2.37 kg)
  • Many connectivity options
  • Bottom can be removed quickly for easy upgrades
  • Powerful processor (Core i7-6700HQ) and graphics (GTX 970M)
  • Really fast M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD (if it's SM951)
  • IPS display with high brightness and great potential
  • Good battery life

Cons

  • PWM across almost all brightness levels (w/o Health-Guard)
  • Just one DDR4 slot
  • Lack of G-Sync support
  • Relatively high surface temps after long hours of gaming
