Abstract: 2017 wasn't anywhere near 2020 in terms of gaming, but still, there were plenty of unforgettable games for computers released in that year. At first glance, the first titles that stand out are PUBG, Fortnite, Assassin's Creed: Origin, Wolfenstein: The New...

Similar to our conclusions between the Skylake XPS 13 9350 and Kaby Lake XPS 13 9360, the Skylake GL502VM and Kaby Lake GL502VM are essentially interchangeable. Even gamers will be hard pressed to find any real-world performance advantages from the Kaby L...

We were blown away by the performance and features Asus infused into the Strix GL502VM-DB71. You may find it difficult to find a gaming laptop with an Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of memory, a GTX 1060 6GB GPU, and Nvidia G-Sync onboard priced below...

Well, what can I say. The GL502VM is generally a good machine with the basic parts in place – 3D performance and keyboard. It also relatively smaller and more lightweight and the cooling system's noise levels are relatively low no matter what. However, it...
The obvious number one benefit that the Asus ROG GL502VM-BB71-CB has to offer is its superior performance. This model not only comes packed with a top end Intel Core i7 processor but is also backed by double the amount of memory you typically find in a st

The Asus ROG Strix GL502 is stylish without out being overtly obnoxious about it. Beyond its sharp looks, there aren't many other gaming laptops this thin and light that can be equipped with an 8GB Nvidia GTX 980M. Even with a 6GB Nvidia GTX 970M, this ma
The biggest detraction we can give this 15-inch gaming laptop is battery life, but even then it's not the worst. Five-to-six-hour battery life is middling by general standards, but it won't leave you hanging like other machines that only last for three ho
It's rare for us to be this thoroughly impressed with a gaming laptop. Aside from the minor knock against battery life, there's nothing wrong with Asus ROG Strix GL502. In fact, almost everything else about the machine is stellar from the crisp keyboard...
