Source: Manila Shaker
Overall, this is a decent gaming and editing laptop. It comes with beautiful design, great display and battery, the audio is also pretty loud. But we think the price is too much for this one. What do you think?

ASUS ROG Strix GL503 Review: Gateway To PC Gaming?
Source: Unbox
The ROG Strix GL503 is a pretty decent entry to ASUS’ gaming series, but the lower than expected GPU severely limits your options when it comes to playing games. Sure, you’ll be able to play most games in the market fairly well in medium settings, but with a sticker price of Php 69,995 many gamers are expecting more.

ASUS ROG Strix GL503 Review
Source: Yugatech
The ASUS ROG Strix GL503 is a sleek, gamer-centric laptop that will suit the needs of most. As of the present, it’s capable of getting respectable frame rates in graphically demanding AAA games, at medium to high settings. A few years down the line though? Your investment may start to struggle given the fact that game requirements increase every year, and this laptop only packs a GTX 1050.

Source: Unbox
ASUS officially took the wraps off of their ROG Strix GL503 notebook back in May during COMPUTEX, with the Taiwanese company announcing availability of the new machines during the recently concluded ROG Masters in Manila. The Strix GL503 differs from ASUS’ other offerings by providing eSports afficionados with a gaming notebook that has enough oomph for competitive play while still being portable enough to chuck inside a backpack.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 (Laptop): Mainstream graphics card based on Nvidia's Pascal architecture and successor to the GeForce GTX 960M. Is manufactured in a 14nm process at Samsung and the technical specifications are very similar to the desktop version.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  

7700HQ: Quad-core notebook processor based on the Kaby Lake architecture. Besides four CPU cores (including Hyper Threading), the chips also integrates the HD Graphics 630 GPU and is manufactured in an improved 14 nm process.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
