An Esports category Gaming Laptop, Asus ROG Strix Hero II – GL504G-MES238T, equipped with the latest Intel Core i7-8750H, a six-core processor combine with Nvidia GeForce GTX1060 6GB GDDR5 VRAM making it powerful enough to support the latest trending VR Ready. This gaming beast currently having the world’s first 15 inch that having 144HZ at 3ms and IPS level FUll HD display at 1920×1080 also 72% NTSC which mean you will get higher more accurate colour reproduction, mainly targeting for MOBA gaming players (as for 72% of NTSC is roughly equivalent to 100% of the sRGB color gamut), design of screen is super-narrow bezel width of 2.33cm only, making the laptop more solid and compact.

RAM of 8GB DDR4 2666Mhz SDRAM, max upgrade to 32GB DDR4 RAM, I would recommend that having at least of 16GB DDR4 by adding another 8GB DDR4, as there is another slot free. It has a 2 slots for RAM available, 1 which is occupied that comes with it.

The Windows 10 preloaded will be installed on the SSD M.2 NVMe PCIe storage of 256GB, its good enough for Windows Operating Systems files and some other games software. You may need to make sure that all files and documents are saved or stored in the other drive which is 1TB 5400rpm Solid-State Hybrid Disk also known as SSHD which is this drive run slightly faster that a normal HDD.

Among all gaming laptop at mid range cost that i’ve seen, this is the most coolest AURA Lighting which its shine brighter, the transparent QWER keycaps. Impressive.

As for connectivity, Wi-Fi 802.11ac which is 2×2 Wave 2 WLAN faster further wireless connection and transfer speed as well. Bluetooth 5.0 installed, also comes with 4 different type of USB ports, 1 x USB 3.1 Gen2(Type-C) , 1 x USB 3.1 Gen 2 and 2 x USB 3.1 Gen1. As for video output, 1 mini DispalyPort and 1 HDMI 2.0 which you may want to output 2nd screen to your Bigger TV Screen.

Speakers built-in a 3.5W speaker with Smart AMP technology, as for sound quality wise this one has more louder and clearer sound compare with the previous version. But most of today, gamer would prefer using a Gaming Headset for more realistic and privacy as well.

Last but not least, one of my favourite which Asus had inside most of their gaming laptop, is the Asus Gaming Center. Still the most impressive command center, I mean Gaming Center.
