Weighing at 2.5 Kg the Asus STRIX ROG GL553VD laptop is not a machine you can lug around every day. Nevertheless, it is a good option for gamers who want portable performance (at times) or want to participate in a gaming night out with friends. Yes, there are a few drawbacks to the machine like the battery life and an unpredictable trackpad; but, these are not deal breakers. What can play a spoil sport is its price. At Rs 1,36,990 the Asus STRIX ROG GL553VD gaming laptop has stiff competition from MSI, Acer and Dell.

The $1,099 Asus ROG Strix GL553 is the most affordable gaming laptop that the company currently sells, and it comes with a comfortable keyboard, a vivid display and an Nvidia GTX 1050 GPU. But the laptop's subpar speakers and finicky touchpad are serious trade-offs.

There is no reason to skip ASUS ROG Strix GL553VD if you don’t have all the money in the world to spend, but still want to have decent gaming experience on a laptop. The GTX 1050 card is not really a beast, but can hold proper frame rates if you can skimp on few settings (yet use 1080p resolution). Because of the 15-inch display, this unit is also tad smaller than its bigger brother, so perhaps more suitable for carrying. Just note the battery life on all these models is subpar compared to non-gaming notebooks. Anyway, for its core job – to keep players happy – this ASUS is a right tool!

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.
