Look and Feel:

We are captivated by the way GX700 VO Is shipped in a ROG themed briefcase. Yet no other manufacturer had thought about it, Asus visions on gamers flexibility seems inspiration behind. Build with brush metal finish submerged in plastic enclosure sounds a bit durable, but not shockproof. The ROG LED lights on lid, imitates a pro gamer look. Sacrificing the optical drive is what we assume a reason behind its slim factors. We see GX700 VO a sheer beauty with power.

Display: Charming 17.3inch anti-glare 4K display is enough to feed gamers HD cravings. 8GB Nvidia GTX 980 feeds 3840 x 2160 resolution with no glitch. We discovered a few problems with few applications with awfully petite text due to lack of 4K support. Standard Mic and Webcam at center top is enough for video chat but not great.

Keyboard - A full size keyboard wearing a set of dedicated macro keys at top and button to launch game recording for Xplit, is great utility, but limited compared to a mechanical gaming keyboard. Fully back-lit keys accentuate focused gaming.

Connectivity - Asus ROG GX700 VO holds upgraded connectivity like Thunderbolt, USB Type-C, Mini Display Port along with common ports like USB 3.0, HDMI, Memory Card Reader, Lan, Wi-Fi & Bluetooth.

Audio – For multimedia usage it is loud enough for music and movies, but reserved for in-game audio. Normally a laptop has partial proviso to advance audio, so we favor a gaming headset.

Hydro Overclocking Cooling System - Asus aspire to give gamers’ an edge, by an ardent press and push cooling system. Called as Hydro, this portable cooler seizes dual 92mm radiators. Detachable design gives a choice to use it as per requirement. The module plays a lively role in reducing inner heat. At the end it adds more hours to your gaming without worrying about GPU-CPU heating. It appears like a hefty module. Asus has designed it neatly, that acts as a charging point as well as a compatible cooling station. But it does not hold any internal battery storage. You will need a power source to use it.

Overall Asus ROG GX700 VO is a star laptop for gamers. Sleek design, slightly curved at the edges with ROG LED's on lid is attention grabbing. Carrying everything together is not a problem. Just pack up everything in the brief case and take it at your friend’s house for LAN party. The cooling station adjoin extra load, plus it employs bonus space with a big power adapter, a tough to substitute accessory.

We rate it 9 out of 10 for its beauty and 7 out of 10 for portability.

The Hardware –

Intel Core i7 6820HK @ 2.7 GHz CPU owns boost frequency upto 3.6 GHz, some power for ultra game settings. Nvidia GTX 980 8GB GDDR5 VRAM is a titan mobile gpu backed by Nvidia GPU Boost. Both can be overclocked to gain higher power, relying on the cooling unit to keep them cool. Asus ROG application acts as the control center with pre-defined profiles, in-case your motive is performance not over clocking. The system do heats fast on Ultra settings, without Hydro cooling unit. It connects at back of laptop with heat pipes similar to closed-loop liquid cooler.

We are contented to see near to desktop like quality. But if you detach the cooling unit, the gpu struggles for output after a short time, because of restricted laptop battery power, is what we assume. 64GB DDR4- 2800Mhz RAM and two 500GB NVMe SSD bestow symmetric performance.

7 Previously we had reviewed ASUS ROG G20CB (IN018T) Gaming Desktop. Similar to ROG GX700 Laptop, the desktop is powered by high end configuration for gaming. It is a all in one gaming system.
