The GTX 1080 is currently the fastest GPU available on notebooks and it makes the G701VI a prime candidate for VR gaming. There are currently no SKUs with the GTX 1070 or with higher resolution display options above 1080p. When compared to competing MSI or Eurocom notebooks, most ROG notebooks are more difficult for the end-user to service.

After graduating with a B.S. in environmental hydrodynamics from the University of California, I studied reactor physics to become licensed by the U.S. NRC to operate nuclear reactors. There's a striking level of appreciation you gain for everyday consumer electronics after working with modern nuclear reactivity systems astonishingly powered by computers from the 80s. When I'm not managing day-to-day activities and US review articles on Notebookcheck, you can catch me following the eSports scene and the latest gaming news.
