Is Asus ROG GL503V good?
No. I own its predecessor and while I have managed to make it work better, I'm sorely disappointed at how little has changed with the new design in regards to thermals. It still runs really warm, and in the case of the GL703GS, it's bigger and beefier brother, it throttles easily unless it's in fan overboost mode.
Granted, thin laptops have never run cool, but in that laptop's case, the 1070's TDP is slightly higher than the 980M it replaces, and those GPUs are usually found in thick and bulky machines due to having adequate heat dissipation. For the 1050, that machine (GL503GD) also has issues with thermals.
I heavily recommend a laptop with a GTX 1060 at the maximum if portability is a major factor. The Dell G7 I have zero issues recommending, however. Their predecessors have done well and are among my most recommended machines for people who want midrange machines.
