If the Asus Republic of Gamers GT51 tower is too big and bulky for you (as it was to us when we first saw it) then the ROG Strix GL502 notebook may be more your cup of tea.
Coming in at a svelte 23.5 mm thin and 2.2 kg heft, the Strix GL502 is a definite lightweight with a heavyweight punch. It sports ROG’s signature fierce look on the outside, with the clamshell opening up to reveal a 15.6 inch IPS 4K or Full HD Nvidia G-Sync display and the illuminated chiclet keyboard with 1.6 mm travel distance and with highlighted WASD keys.
Underneath the hood is up to an Intel Core i7-6700HQ processor clocked at 2.6 GHz paired with up to 32 GB of 2133 MHz DDR4 RAM; up to 2 TB hard disk or up to 512 GB solid state drives; and up to an Nvidia GeForce GTX 980M 8 GB graphics card.
For the ins and outs, it has a combo audio jack, microphone in/headphone out jack, three USB 3.0 hubs, a USB-C port, an RJ45 LAN jack, an HDMI and mini Display port outputs, and an SD card reader. It also sports an HD webcam, Wi-Fi in either 802.11 b/g/n or ac interfaces, and Bluetooth 4.0. Audio is handled by Asus’ own SonicMaster technology.
This portable gaming machine can be yours starting at a price of PHP 99,995.
