ASUS ROG Strix GL702VT 17.3in Gaming Notebook Review

Battery Life

We tested the GL702VT with Battery Saver turned on and a 50 per cent screen brightness, using the PC Mark 8 Home battery test, which runs a series of productivity tasks until the power runs out.

These test scripts don't stress the gaming performance particularly, so this time doesn't represent how long you could play on battery, although there is some 3D activity included. It's supposed to represent a mixture of everyday home user tasks.

The result of around three and a quarter hours is excellent for a 17in notebook, and significantly greater than the MSI GT72 2QE Dominator Pro G. It's about ten minutes behind the MSI GS40, but this is still a notebook that will give you a usable amount of everyday application usage away from the power socket.

You won't get anywhere as much as this when gaming, but at least if you took the notebook out with you for something other than gaming you'd be able to use it for most of a lengthy train journey or European flight. Not a bad showing for a gaming notebook.

  1. I earn close to $6.000-$8.000 /every month from freelancing online. For those of you who are looking to do basic freelance jobs for 2-5 h /day from your house and earn solid paycheck while doing it… Try this gig FAVE.CO/20SR7Wt

  2. Seriously how can you make a gaming laptop in this day and age without an SSD? With current prices it’s not that hard to give 128 or even 256GB of space. I’ll bet a lot of gamers would prefer the massive performance increase over the extra space; I know I would.

  3. I have a Dell XPS with a 512GB SSD and 960m. Work paid for it. Worth every penny haha.

    I tried MGSV on it earlier and it ran at fairly high settings with an issue. No throttling or anything

  4. I am earning about $6,000-$8,000 on monthly basis online. Those who are prepared to work basic at home jobs for 2-5 h every day from your couch at home and get valuable income for doing it… Then this work is for you… FAVE.CO/20SQZ9r

  5. IKR! I bought last year an Alienware 17 and immediately swapped the 1TB hard drive with a 256GB SSD like on the same week and no regrets! The performance gains are amazing and its only a Crucial MX100 which is working good, a little underrated one.

  6. After the bad experience that I had with Asus after sales support regarding my venerable Asus G74sx, I will never buy another Asus laptop like ever.
