Asus GX700

Overview

Pros & Cons

Reviews

The GX700 leaves pretty mixed impressions after we finished all tests. The idea to use a water-cooling sounds very promising on paper, but we can hardly find any advantages over a standard air-cooled laptop in practice. Yes, the notebook is thinner and lighter than other high-end systems, but the full performance is only available with the attached water-cooling. The GX700 is neither quiet nor compact with the external Hydro Station.

The Asus ROG GX700 is undoubtedly one beast of a gaming laptop.Starting first with its design, it is a lovely, subtle rose gold colour – and brushed aluminium, too. It looks so sleek and classy, you really would be the envy of others on appearances...

It’s ridiculous. It’s a monster. You probably won’t buy an Asus ROG GX700, but you should absolutely want to.

En la feria IFA que se celebró el pasado mes de septiembre pudimos asistir a la presentación del ASUS ROG GX700 , un portátil orientado claramente a gamers que sorprendía ya no tanto por su pantalla de 17 pulgadas con resolución UHD en una de sus...

The Asus ROG GX700 is an impressive feat of engineering. But, like the concept cars to be found at auto shows, it is wholly impractical, even for the most hardcore gamer.This 17-inch gaming laptop is packed with desktop-grade components instead of...

When all's said and done, the ASUS ROG GX700 manages to combine mobility and performance quite successfully. Its performance, even while docked, may not quite reach that of the dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M notebooks, but its trifecta of an overclockable...

Gut ausgeleuchtete Display Überzeugen kann das 17,3 Zoll große Display des ASUS ROG GX700. Dieses verfügt dank IPS-Technik über eine gute Blickwinkelstabilität und ist mit bis zu 330 cd/m² auch sehr leuchtstark, womit es auch in helleren Umgebungen...

International Review By PC Games Hardware on March 03, 2016

Die Idee ist nicht neu: Die Wärmeabfuhr von Gaming-Laptops in ein Kühlsystem auszulagern, haben wir in ähnlicher Form schon beim Gaming Dock von MSI oder dem Alienware-Grafikverstärker gesehen. Beim GX700 wird allerdings keine externe Grafikkarte...

What would you do if you would like to squeeze a high performance desktop graphics card such as the Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 that comes with 8GB RAM into a laptop? You simply design a liquid cooling system to dock the laptop with.That's the premise of the...
