    With the advent of high-end desktop-grade graphics processors, the competition among high-end gaming laptops is getting fierce. Lately, we’ve seen numerous 17-inch desktop replacements that have blown us away, but most of them are just too bulky for consumers that turn to laptops for a portable solution. With their large frames and bulky power bricks many of them exceed 10 pounds and can be difficult to fit into a normal sized bag.

    That’s where the Asus ROG Strix comes into play. Armed with a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 GPU the 15.6-inch laptop marries desktop-grade performance with a more portable package. Add in the attractive 15.6-inch IPS display with G-Sync technology and affordable $1,700 price tag and you have one of the more attractive high-end gaming laptops on the market. Unfortunately, the Asus ROG isn’t perfect though. It’s a great device, but the mediocre keyboard, sub-par audio, and weak battery life keep this rig from being a must buy.
