7 New ASUS ROG Gaming Laptops That You Should Know

A couple of days ago, ASUS outed the prices of their latest line of Republic of Gamers laptops. You are probably familiar with one of the devices – the GL552JX – because we recently posted our unboxing and first impressions of it about 2 weeks ago.

To give you a quick recap of the prices and features of the new ROG laptops of ASUS, check out our Smart List below.

GL552JX-DM363T

The barest of them all, the GL552JX, is something the budget PC gamers should take a look at. We’ve playing around with it for more than 2 weeks now and I am very satisfied with it. I can play most A-list games like Street Fighter V, Cities Skylines, Metal Gear Solid V, etc.

Specs may be found below.

GL552VW-CN320T

If you’re satisfied with what the GL552JX can do, then there’s a fairly better choice without upping your budget too much. Thel GL552VW has a 6th generation Intel processor, a pre-installed M.2 128gb SSD and an NVIDIA GTX960M. These 3 main upgrades make it a compelling choice other than the GL552JX.

Check the specs below.

G752VL-GC051T

Things get more interesting when we talk about the more premium variants of ROGs. The upgrade from GL552 to GL752 is phenomenal. If you’re really out in the market to get a gaming laptop, picking the GL752 over the GL552 is definitely a better decision.

For starters, the GC051T variant of the GL752 comes with bigger FHD screen, better GPU and longer battery life.

Specs below for your reference.

G752VT-GC054T

This one’s basically just like the GC051T variant, but with higher RAM, 128GB M.2. SSD and better GPU. Its price is sub-PhP100,000, so you can go and grab it if you’ve got the moolah to do so.

G752VY-GC198T

Things get a little monstrous as we go up the ladder. The GC198T features more RAM – now with 24gb as opposed to the previously presented laptop with 16gb RAM, higher SSD capacity and a better GPU.

G752VY-GC228T

Can I drool now? Its flagship-worthy specs make me sweat and salivate vigorously.

GX700VO

The grand daddy of them all is (and should definitely be) the most powerful. It simply outshines other laptops albeit its monstrous and huge built. It’s 17.3-inch FHD display is just insane, and its 64GB RAM is definitely an overkill even for my standards.

Its 6th Gen i7 6820HK processor and NVIDIA GTX980M are definitely compelling reasons for getting this laptop. It also includes a “Hydro colling system” – a first in the market – that allows the system to run cooler when it’s idle and regulates its temperature when its being overclocked to your heart’s content.

It will be available for a whopping PhP249,995 this March 2016.
