Asus GL552JX Notebook Review

Gaming with limits. The Asus slogan for the new 15-inch ROG device is "Gaming Without Limits", which is unfortunately not the case because of the GeForce GTX 950M. If the limited performance is sufficient for you, you get a well-balanced multimedia...

good build quality of the case, nice visual accents, convenient design, Hard plastic chassis, compact multimedia gaming notebook, great keyboard with nice and ergonomic illumination, great touchpad, maintenance hatch, battery replaceable, high-contrast...

small build quality issues, stability not perfect, lid bounces, susceptible to fingerprints, small numeric keypad, ports at the front, no access to the fans via maintenance hatch, 950M version with DDR3 (1,800 MHz), speakers are not really on a...

The manufacturer does a good job in terms of thermals and system noise, and there is hardly any criticism for the Turbo utilization. The combination of SSD and HDD should be available in more notebooks than right now, because it combines a fast user...

Asus GL552VW Xotic PC Edition Notebook Review

Mainstream update. The affordable ROG GL series gets Skylake, DDR4, USB Type-C, and other small changes to bring it up to speed. We check out the updated model and its performance gains with an overclocked GPU from Xotic PC.

high quality matte IPS display; accurate grayscale and colors, factory overclocked GPU; excellent gaming performance, good Turbo Boost performance under stress, 2x storage bays (M.2 + 2.5-inch SATA III), accessible storage bays and RAM slots, bright...

most internal components not easily accessible, high power consumption; short battery life, no native Thunderbolt 3 support, moderate backlight bleeding, case is a fingerprint magnet, system fan is never idle, no NVMe support, thick and heavy, weak...

Our analyses and conclusions are based on the conditions of the notebook out-of-the-box. Since Xotic PC units come overclocked and ready to go, our measurements related to temperatures, fan noise, performance, and battery life may be different from a...

ASUS ROG GL552VW Review – A Capable Mid-range Gaming Laptop

With a full HD display, Nvidia GTX 960M Graphics, SSD and a full set of connectivity ports, the ROG GL552VW sounds like a great deal for 90,000 INR.

Good performance ; Rich set of ports ; Good display quality ; Efficient Keyboard for gaming ; Looks good

Poor speaker quality ; Average trackpad

Asus ROG GL552VW review – Skylake multimedia 15-incher

The Asus GL552VW performs well, runs cool and quiet in pretty much every situation, and the IPS screen is a pleasure to look at. On the other hand, the build-quality is only average, and the keyboard and trackpad could use a breath of fresh air. Asus...

great display; solid performance; easy to upgrade; runs cool and quiet; the battery is not encased; fair price

chunky and heavy body; very weak screen frame on the plastic covered version - get the metallic unit instead; mushy keyboard and not the best trackpad; rather small battery

As we draw the line on the Asus ROG GL552VW, I can’t really recommend the unit tested here, with the plastic lid cover. And that might sound harsh, but shows how one bad design decision can ruin an otherwise good laptop.

Asus ROG GL552VW

Bearing the high-end Republic of Gamers (ROG) brand, the latest laptop from Asus promises to play "top games" at 1080p without a hitch – but, unusually, costs less than £1,000.

Solid 1080p gaming pace ; Fast, versatile Core i7 processor ; Smart design throughout ; High-quality keyboard

Disappointing and inconsistent screen ; Underwhelming speakers ; Spongy trackpad

Asus RoG GL552VW review

What sits between cheap gaming laptops and ultra-expensive beasts you desire but can't really afford? That's what we're finding out today: it's the Asus RoG GL552VW review.

The Asus RoG GL552 is a more affordable, lower-spec take on the RoG G752, which is one of the best gaming laptops money can buy right now. Any resemblance is mostly visual, though.Superficial parts of the build are worse, the screen is nowhere near as...

Asus ROG GL552VW laptop review: An Alienware alternative in a budget - The Times of India

We tested the recently launched powerful Asus ROG GL552VW gaming laptop for a few days and here's our review.

*Impressive design ; *Affordable price ; *Powerful specifications

When it comes to factors like cooling system and looks/design, the laptop leaves no stone unturned to impress users. Performance-wise there is a little difference on the surface as compared to competitors. The display is decent, Windows 10 brings more...

Asus ROG GL552VW

Brilliant Budget gamer

Good Performance ; Looks Good ; Keeps temperatures under control

Bulky

The Asus ROG GL552VW is quite simply one of the best gaming laptops out there, under a budget of Rs. 1 lakh. We would have preferred better battery life, but one can make it work.
