Asus has many ROG gaming series laptops, ranging from the hardcore GX700, to to slim form factor Strix. I got a chance to play with the ROG G752 - a gaming laptop that is not as super hardcore as the GX700, but it is still a powerful gaming PC.
So what is the G752? It is huge - 17.3” form factor, to be exact. It weighs at whooping 4.3kg, that’s one of the heaviest laptops around! Why the weight then? I guess it is to house the GTX 1070 graphics card, along with other powerful innards, such as the G-Sync, UHD screen.
What does one do with such a monster machine? To game, of course. I’m not really into cutting edge games, but I game GTA V a lot. Playing GTA V on this machine is butter smooth, especially with the G-Sync monitor.
One interesting thing is that unlike its monster cousin GX700, the G752 runs pretty cool on its own even when gaming rather intensively. Of course, GTA V is not super intensive, but still, the machine is able to handle it pretty well. 3DMark benchmark puts it at 4169 for Time Spy demo - not bad.
Ports galore! This is a gaming machine after all. It has 4 USB 3 ports, 1 USB-C, 1 mini DisplayPort, 1 HDMI, and 1 Ethernet port. It also has a Blu-ray drive, though, to be honest, I haven’t touched CDs in quite a while…
Having so much power in the machine comes at a cost - battery life. The battery depletes itself in about 2 hours, thus, for gamers, sadly, it is still best to find a power outlet if you want to game on the move.
This machine is definitely not just for gaming. With 64GB RAM (in this machine) and an i7-6820HK processor, one can run virtual machines. This is good, especially for software engineers that do intensive computing work.
