Pros:
- Overclockable CPU/GPU with water cooling
- Very silent even when overclock and in full performance
- Fast SSD since it is using NVMe M.2 SSD instead of traditional SSD
- Less than 10 Sec from cold boot to startup
- Love the rubberized area around the keyboard, very nice to rest on
- The overall looks was also pleasing to my eye, silver and champagne color with Red leds
- Desktop graphic GTX980
- Desktop + Laptop in one machine

Cons:
- Big and bulky, cant even place it on my computer desk
- Although there is a suitcase to go with the GX700, still not friendly to carry it around
- More of a Desktop replacement but you can get a better Desktop setup with the price
- Should have a Desktop Class CPU like 6600K/6700K
- Limited overclocking option, overclock only done on their Asus apps, cant Overclock via Bios

Don't think can. There is a locking mechanism, need to press down to unlock then can remove the laptop.

only difference is the Ram and SSD configuration if im not wrong
different people has different needs, one laptop might not suit you but might suit others.
Truthfully speaking, the price is a bit high but currently its the only laptop with water cooling, thus its high price.
