Asus GL702VM ROG Strix
There’s little headroom for VR and future-proofing, it’s ergonomically middling, and it doesn’t have the features or power of pricier rivals. That said, the GTX 1060, solid Full HD screen and decent components elsewhere mean the GL702VM is an excellent and affordable gaming laptop.

In very few words, the Asus ROG GL702VM is a good multimedia / gaming 17-inch laptop. It performs flawlessly, it gets a high-refresh IPS screen with GSync that's great for gaming, as well as a nice keyboard and good IO, all in a fairly portable body. On...

At just $1,299, the GL702VM hits the sweet spot between price and performance, making it a top contender in the midrange gaming laptop market. Build quality is good but not great, with a lid made of metal and everything else made of hard plastic, but at this price you have to live with a few tradeoffs, and luckily there are very few. I liked how it manages to shed heat without distracting fan noise, and for a 17-inch gaming laptop, it actually feels relatively small. It's not a mega powerhouse thanks to its midrange GPU but it's great for 1080p gaming, and the G-Sync display is a a great addition. Overall it's a killer notebook, especially given its low price.

The Asus Strix GL702VM-DB71 offers excellent performance in a well-presented 17.3" package. It has just as much performance as the Strix 15 for the same price. The Strix 17 also offers at least two hours of gaming on battery life. Unfortunately, it is plagued by poor thermal performance and a display that exhibits some color accuracy errors.

The £1,200 price means that the Asus has a more modest specification than many other notebooks, but there's still room in the budget for a brand-new Nvidia GPU. The GTX 1060 is based on the Pascal architecture, which ramps up the efficiency to deliver...
