To start off I am receiving points in the ROG Elite Rewards loyalty program for my review. I have had my GL702ZC for about a week now, and so far pleased with the purchase. I bought it mostly for play, and as a casual non-competitive gamer I am quite pleased with it. It handles everything I've thrown at it on max settings like the two new Tomb Raiders, and Final Fantasy 14 Stormblood. The CPU is a desktop Ryzen 7 1700 and is potentially upgradable so that is a plus. This is where it shines, and beats other laptops in multitasking power. The GPU I believe is a mobile RX 580 while not the greatest it currently exceeds my needs for graphics. Where most of the power is going to the monster CPU multitasking multiple applications on multiple screens is smooth as butter. Battery life is bad even with everything turned off, but I knew that before hand, and never planned on taking this 17" monster on the bus with me. The battery is pretty much a UPS for me. Build seems pretty sturdy though I don't intend to moving it that much except for rare LAN parties, or playing on the porch, or another room in the house. One annoying thing is there is a custom key that opens ROG Game Center right next to the backspace key that is a magnet for my fat fingers or fast typist. In the same application it opens you can turn the key off, or make it do something else. If you looking for a gaming laptop that has power for work, play, and is upgradable this is the laptop you are looking for.
