ASUS has announced a variety of new gaming laptops now available in Malaysia. Alongside its new, more affordable line of gaming laptops with the ASUS TUF Gaming line, there’s also a new entry-level ASUS ROG gaming laptop.
The new ASUS ROG Strix Hero Edition (GL503G-EEN057T) features all the right specs- a powerful Intel Core i7 Coffee Lake processor, an Nvidia GTX1050 Ti graphics card (but surely needs more RAM). In fact it has almost similar specs to the most premium ASUS TUF FX504 variant bar one: the screen. The ROG Strix Hero Edition uses a TN panel with 120Hz- perfect for competitive gamers where the high refresh rate in games matters like in CS:GO.
Here’s the full specs for the GL503G-EEN057T:
- Intel Core i7-8750H
- Nvidia GeForce GTX1050Ti 4GB
- 4GB RAM
- 1TB SSHD + 128GB PCIE SSD
- Full HD Tn panel 300 nits 120Hz screen
Aside from that, it features the well-established ROG styling as well, which, along with the faster refresh screen, is enough to bump the price to RM4,899, the cheapest of the new ROG laptops being introduced for this year.
