    Just one image from the stage (the petite model Asus hired makes this 15.6-inch laptop look more like a 17-inch monster but it's not):

    Trying to get a close look at the event was crazy. I'll post more images if I can get some time with the GX500 before I leave Computex later this week.

    Hey! I'm asking everyone around for this lol but can you confirm if the GX500 has an Anti-Glare screen or at least an option for it?

    Thanks!!

    The screen seems to be glossy unfortunately.
