Is Asus ROG GL503V good?

Go to solution Solved by D13H4RD,

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. 

Hey guys,

I wanna ask If Asus GL503V good? The Graphic card GTX 1050 Factory OC 100Mhz is better than GTX 1050Ti ?

 

Im a newbie,thanks for the help!

No. Bad cooling. In fact it can't handle a 1050 properly.

You may want to add SSD (included one is SSHD) and more RAM

Asus FX is it? Bad cooling. Also questionable build quality.

 

If you want something 1060, Lenovo Y520 with 1060 Max-Q, 7700HQ, 8GB RAM and 1TB HDD+128GB SSD. However the 3GB VRAM may be a big deal in some games.

Is Battery life a concern? Is screen refresh rate important?

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.

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.
