Asus' ROG Strix mark is the organization's method for delivering quality mid-extend gaming equipment without the outrageous execution – or sticker price – of the unadulterated ROG machines.

This workstation may be at the lower end of the gaming scratch pad range, however Asus hasn't held back on the physical plan. The Strix is worked around dark aluminum and plastic, with orange accents on logos, the trackpad and the keys themselves.

It's a gorgeous framework, and its measurements aren't excessively tremendous it is possible that: it weighs 2.7kg and is 24mm thick; the two figures undercut chunkier adversaries.
On the off chance that there's one region where the GL702VM endures, however, it's assemble quality. The screen is unstable, and there's an excess of give in the wrist-rests. The base board is sturdier, yet it can't be opened – which implies the majority of the parts are secured except if you're cheerful to void the guarantee.
Asus ROG Strix GL702VM review: Performance
Matching the GTX 1060 with a Full HD screen is a sensible decision that prompts adjusted execution. At this determination, the Asus experienced no difficulty with current recreations, with midpoints past 60fps in Center earth: Shadow of Mordor, Soil Rally and GTA V.
That is an imperative marker, in light of the fact that the screen runs G-Synchronize at a greatest revive rate of 60Hz – so if a diversion can keep running at 60fps, you will get the most flawlessly awesome out of Nvidia's amusement smoothing innovation.
Just the hardest difficulties stretch this GPU as far as possible. I stacked Deus Ex: Humankind Separated, which is a standout amongst the most requesting recreations around, and the Asus found the middle value of 37fps with a base edge rate of 29fps. That is fine, yet it implies that this GPU doesn't have as much headroom to adapt to the requesting amusements that will develop in a couple of years. You'll either need to drop the graphical settings or possibly change to a lower determination. For the following couple of years, however, you'll be fine.
In case you will utilize a 1440p screen, a few diversions will require a few settings tweaking for smooth 60fps gameplay, and VR titles may likewise require a touch of fiddling. Be that as it may, the GTX 1060 is affirmed as sufficiently quick for VR and in the event that you have a headset, you ought to get sensibly great execution.
On the off chance that you need legitimate 1440p and VR snort, you'll need a PC with the GTX 1070. The distinction is noteworthy: the Asus scored 8,456 focuses in 3DMark: Fire Strike, however the XMG P507 with its GTX 1070 scored 12,604 focuses. That distinction enabled the XMG to run a few amusements at 4K.
The processor is an OK mid-extend part. Its Geekbench single-and multi-center aftereffects of 3,036 and 9,271 mean amusements will never be bottlenecked, however the last score is essentially snappier with a Center i7, in light of the fact that Hyper-Threading has a tremendous effect to multi-entrusting.
The last key segment, the SSD, is correspondingly mid-run. Its successive read and compose velocities of 514MB/sec and 478MB/sec are fine, and speedier than any hard disk, yet they're reigned in by the furthest reaches of the SATA interface. Any workstation with a NVMe M.2 or PCIe SSD will have significantly speedier stacking and boot times.
The mid-go segments are fine with regards to playing diversions and dealing with chip away at this machine's 1080p screen, and they likewise added to sensible warm outcomes.
The Asus is amazingly calm. At the point when it's sitting the fans can scarcely be heard, and this PC isn't substantially louder when it's pelting through diversions. It's recognizable, yet it's far calmer than most by far of gaming journals – along these lines, for me, that is a win.
The CPU and GPU's pinnacle temperatures of 90°C and 86°C are somewhat higher than I'd anticipate from this class of PC, however they're not hazardous. Scarcely any of that warmth made it to the outside of the chassis, which is great – the console and base turned out to be just somewhat warm, with the majority of the warmth vented from the back.
Asus ROG Strix GL702VM review: Battery life
The lesser GPU and Center i5 processor do look good for life span, yet the Strix's 76Wh power pack isn't immense – numerous other gaming workstations with all the more ground-breaking segments have bigger batteries.
That implies the Asus' battery life is completely normal. In the low-force Powermark test it went on for 3hrs 42mins, which is a little on the low side. In a gaming test with the screen at full shine it oversaw 1hr 10mins – maybe a small piece longer than numerous gaming workstations, however insufficient of a prompt have any kind of effect.
The message continues as before as it does with all gaming scratch pad: don't go too a long way from an attachment.
Asus ROG Strix GL702VM review: Final verdict
There's little headroom for VR and future-sealing, it's ergonomically average, and it doesn't have the highlights or intensity of pricier opponents. All things considered, the GTX 1060, strong Full HD screen and nice parts somewhere else mean the GL702VM is a superb and moderate gaming workstation.
