Asus ROG Strix II GL504GM/GS series – compact builds, 144 Hz screen and modern hardware

One final aspect to add is that the new Strix lines have a higher price than the older models, with the Hero II GL504GM model starting at $1699, while the SCAR is supposed to start at $1999, but I’d reckon that’s the for GTX 1070 models. We’ll know more about these in the near future and we’ll update the article with further details. In the meantime, check out the quick review below.

ASUS ROG GL504 (SCAR II / Hero II) review – a huge leap forward
Source: Laptop Media Archive.org version
Considering that this is a gaming laptop, we will begin with its performance. ASUS ROG GL504 impresses with extremely high computing performance, which comes at a price – 95°C when loaded to the max which is not a very good sign in the long term. As for the GPU temp of 88 degrees in extended gaming – it is not impressive either, but it seems that ASUS has prioritized performance over temperatures.

Asus ROG Hero II gets your MOBA game on

Pricing was not yet revealed for the Strix Hero II, so check back soon. I'm guessing it won't be cheap. If you're perhaps more of an Overwatch or Counter-Strike player, you may want to instead check out the ROG Strix Scar II instead.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
