Reviews for the Asus GL703VD-WB71

60% Asus Republic of Gamers Strix GL703 Review and Ratings
Source: Computer Shopper English Archive.org version
The Asus Strix GL703 rounds the bases for a big-screened budget gaming laptop. Its colorful 1080p display, RGB-backlit keyboard, sleek design, and good overall quality make it fairly comfortable at its $1,149 price point. Our major complaint was its relatively noisy cooling system, which was compounded by the fact that the outside of this notebook became rather hot while gaming.
