Asus ROG Strix GL504 Hero II Review | Trusted Reviews

 

Looking for a bargain 144Hz gaming laptop to play all your favourite MOBA and FPS games? The Asus ROG Strix GL504 Hero II may just be the ticket

One of the cheapest 144Hz gaming laptops around ; Multitude of RGB lighting options ; Keyboard and trackpad make for easy typing and browsing

Outperformed by similarly priced laptops ; Struggles to cope with modern AAA games in Full HD

One of the cheapest gaming laptops you'll find with a 144Hz display, but rival options offer superior performances for less cash

Maybe a little too excessive for MoBA players

The Asus Strix Hero II is an attractive gaming laptop that’s well-equipped for its price.

Asus ROG Strix Hero II Gaming Laptop Review: Clever Design, Great Sound

 

A gaming laptop shouldn't only be powerful. For serious play, you also need great visuals and powerful audio, which the Asus ROG Strix Hero II (starting at $1,699, $1915 as tested) delivers. With an 8th Gen Core i7 processor and GTX 1060 graphics, it's...

A great stay-at-home laptop for those with limited desk space.

Asus ROG Strix Hero II Review

 

A midrange gaming laptop designed with MOBAs in mind, the Asus ROG Strix Hero II entices with its subdued appearance, beefy specs, and high-refresh-rate panel, but the pricing and battery life are sore points.

Lenovo Flex 6 11 Review

 

Forgive the low-resolution display and ho-hum build, and the Lenovo Flex 6 11 makes for an otherwise well-rounded budget 2-in-1 laptop.

ASUS Strix Hero II: Full, in-depth review

 

Great performance ; Slimmer form-factor

Lackluster RGB

The ROG Strix Hero II isn’t the best gaming notebook that money can buy. However, there aren’t many that can outperform it on a strictly price-for-performance basis.

Asus ROG Strix GL504GM Hero II (i7-8750H, GTX 1060, FHD) Laptop Review

 

A hero for the masses. Excellent performance sustainability and a beautiful 144 Hz IPS display make the GL504 one of the more impressive 15-inch gaming notebooks in the market. A couple of missing features prevent the system from being a "must have"...

144 Hz narrow bezel display with minimal ghosting ; quieter and cooler than the GL504GS ; longer battery life than the GL504GS ; brighter backlight than the GL504GS ; dual internal storage bays ; great internal speakers ; easy serviceability

suboptimal webcam placement ; no per-key RGB lighting ; still loud when gaming ; no Thunderbolt 3

Similar to how the Razer Blade 15 GTX 1060 runs cooler, longer, and quieter than the Blade 15 GTX 1070, the GL504GM also runs cooler, longer, and quieter than the GL504GS. There are thus several reasons why would one would prefer the less expensive...
