ASUS ROG Strix GL503VD 15.6″ Gaming Notebook

1. Introduction2. Testing3. Closing Thoughts4. View All Pages

The Asus ROG Strix GL503VD is an attractive laptop with its brushed metal lid, RGB keyboard and compact design. The GL503VD- FY108T model we reviewed offers modest specifications with a Quad core i5, GTX 1050 and 8GB RAM. However this makes it a respectable £799.99 which isn’t bad for a good looking gaming laptop. Could this laptop be the perfect balance of price and performance?
