A decked out laptop amongst a cost tag to match.
If Asus was challenged to larn large or larn abode amongst its newest gaming laptop, it definitely chose the former. Everything well-nigh the company's novel ROG GL703 laptop is big, from its 17.3-inch display size to its $3,499 cost tag.
The cost is probable to scare many people off, too the Full hard disk drive 1080p (1920x1080) resolution assistance justify the MSRP. However, it is a high-quality Internet service provider panel amongst a fast 144Hz refresh charge per unit of measurement too Nvidia G-Sync support.
Asus equipped this laptop amongst a seventh generation Core i7-7820HK processor that comes overclocked "up to 4.3GHz," which is referring to the boost clock. At stock settings, this 4-core/8-thread CPU has a 2.9GHz base of operations clock too 3.9GHz boost clock.
The discrete GeForce GTX 1080 GPU amongst 8GB of GDDR5X retentivity is also goosed to striking a maximum clockspeed of 1,974MHz, too thence Asus is squeezing every chip of performance out of these parts equally is responsibly possible. There is in all probability headroom to larn higher on both components, but going nuts amongst overclocks on a laptop is a surefire agency to ensure instability.
To popular off along the parts cool, Asus employs an "Anti-Dust Cooling (ADC)" organisation designed to eject dust, dirt, too particles through 2 dedicated tunnels. The GL703 also uses 2 12V dual-outlet fans that spin xx per centum faster too better airflow past times upwardly to 42.5 per centum compared to 5V fans, according to Asus.
Here is what else Asus has to tell well-nigh the cooling scheme:
"The cooling fins mensurate merely 0.1mm thin—half the thickness of regular fins. This ultrathin blueprint enabled ROG engineers to add together to a greater extent than fins to growth the full surface surface area for rut dissipation past times xvi percent, field leaving a larger gap betwixt fins to cut down air resistance past times vii percent.
"A unique heat-pipe blueprint cools the CPU too GPU independently to avoid thermal throttling, too keeps chipset might element temperatures below 80C to growth organisation stability too extend element lifespan."
Moving on, the GL703 is loaded amongst 32GB of DDR4-2800 RAM, 2 256GB M.2 PCIe SSDs configured inwards RAID 0, too a 1TB difficult effort (5,400 RPM).
The residue of the spec canvas is pretty standard—the laptop has 802.11ac Wi-Fi too Bluetooth 4.2 for wireless connectivity, 4 USB 3.0 ports, a USB 3.1 Type-C port, HDMI 2.0 too mini DisplayPort 1.4 outputs (one each), a GbE LAN port, 2 good jacks, a Kensington lock, too a retentivity bill of fare reader.
Audio is served through a duo of 3W speakers powered past times an ESS Sabre DAC, too the keyboard features keys amongst 2.2mm go distance amongst RGB backlighting too particularly marked WASD keys.
The Asus ROG GL703 is available directly at Amazon, B&H, ExcaliberPC, HID Evolution, too XoticPC.
