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 go...

Entry level pricing for a ROG laptop, Very quiet, ROG styling, including the black and red colour scheme and backlit keyboard, Reasonable gaming performance, USB 3.1 type C port, 128GB SSD keeps Windows moving smartly, Good battery life
Screen has a tight viewing angle, Touchpad and mouse can feel vague, You will likely need to adjust image quality settings to suit the GTX 960M graphics.
Asus ROG GL552VW has clearly been designed to deliver a Republic Of Gamers laptop at a bargain basement price. That's bargain basement by Republic Of Gamer standards, of course, as it is still fairly pricey in any other terms. The main thing is that you c...

Comfortable keyboard, Cooler and quieter than expected, Good all-round performance in work and gaming tasks, Competitive price vs performance, Great aesthetics, Free gaming mouse included,
Battery life isn’t fantastic, but that’s to be expected on a gaming system, 128GB SSD is quite limiting for game installations, Neutral, “While not the fastest gaming laptop on the market, it’s hard to beat the style, build quality and performance on offe
Pricing The price on the ASUS RoG GL552VW 15.6″ Gaming Laptop is certainly competitive, clocking in at £899.99, with some retailers having that +/- £50 through various promotions. The hardware isn't the latest or the greatest, but in terms of the complete...
The GL552 is a rather pricey laptop, but unlike the mega-gaming laptops on the market, it doesn’t break the £1,000 mark. It has plenty of processing power, and the bright, powerful display and sharp, ominous red and metallic design of the device are beaut...
There's a lot to like about the Asus ROG GL552VW considering its price. Its build quality and specifications are both great for the money and I was particularly pleased to see Asus hasn't skimped on storage. However, the display ultimately lets the system...
Looks like a proper gaming laptop, Quad-core Intel Skylake CPU, Solid 1080p gaming credentials, Good connectivity options, Removeable battery
Disappointing TN display, Single-channel memory, SSD is basic by today's standards
We've come full circle, and what was the question? Ah, yes, can one of industry's most recognisable brands nail the gaming laptop? The answer is almost, but not quite.At £875, the Asus Republic of Gamers GL552VW promises plenty but falls short in one...
Disappointing and inconsistent screen, Underwhelming speakers, Spongy trackpad
Asus ROG GL552VW – Battery Life This is one area where the Asus managed to better both of its rivals. The GL552VW's 48Wh battery lasted for just over three and a half hours in TrustedReview‘s Powermark benchmark, which sets the screen at 40% brightness an...

Decent performance, nice mouse and keyboard combo, lots of ports, good value
Bulky, not terribly well built, lots of pre-installed guff

Abstract: Asus sent over their GL552VW – the new Skylake i7-6700HQ and the Nvidia 960m – and it's pretty awesome! It's an awesome laptop with a beautiful design, and solid build quality – with a few kinks I'd like to see fixed before I'd buy one.SummaryGreat laptop...
