Reviews for the Asus GL553VD-FY073T

80% Asus ROG STRIX GL553
Source: Trusted Reviews English

Of the three big-brand, sub-£1000 Trusted has tested, the Asus ROG STRIX GL553 is the most well-rounded. Its biggest shortcoming is battery life, and even then it’s not a complete lost cause in the portability department. The cheapest Dell Inspiron 15 Gaming, which features a near-identical specification, has a much poorer screen, and the same is true of the Acer Aspire VX 15. At this price, the Asus is the best buy.
