ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced the ROG Strix GL502, a compact 15.6-inch gaming laptop with a stunning display that delivers breathtaking visuals. Equipped with the latest quad-core Intel Core i7 processor and a dedicated, up to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M GPU, the ROG Strix GL502 is a gaming powerhouse that delivers smooth performance and highly-detailed graphics with even the newest, most demanding titles. Combined with its lightweight, ultra-portable design, the ROG Strix GL502 enables users to enjoy high-end gaming anywhere.
The ROG Strix GL502 features a 15.6-inch, non-glare in-plane switching (IPS) Full HD display for incredibly detailed graphics, accurate colors, and wide 178-degree viewing angles. Up to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M graphics with 4GB of GDDR5 VRAM and full Microsoft DirectX 12 support ensure the latest, most graphically intensive games run smoothly, even on their highest settings. NVIDIA G-SYNC display technology synchronizes the display’s refresh rate with the GPU, reducing lag, minimizing frame rate stutter, and eliminating visual tearing — all without affecting system performance. All of these advanced display technologies work in concert to provide gamers truly stunning visuals and the best, most entertaining experiences possible.
The ROG Strix GL502 is an incredibly powerful gaming system with a compact, lightweight design. At just 0.92in high and weighing only 4.85lbs, the ROG Strix GL502 easily fits into a backpack or bag for high-end gaming on the go. Powered by the latest-generation quad-core Intel Core i7 processor and up to 32GB of high-performance 2133MHz DDR4 RAM, the ROG Strix GL502 delivers amazing performance with the latest games. An up to 512GB M.2 NVM Express (NVMe) PCIe x4 SSD together with an up to 2TB HDD provides plenty of storage for large game collections and blazingly fast performance, so gamers spend more time in the action and less time waiting on load screens. It also has an exclusive cooling system that uses copper heat-pipes and dual fans to cool the CPU and GPU independently. This design maximizes cooling efficiency for system stability during even the longest, most intense gaming sessions.
The ROG Strix GL502 has a specially designed chiclet gaming keyboard with red-backlit scissor-switch keys that offer 1.6mm of travel distance for tactile keystrokes. It also features highlighted WASD keys, so gamers can position their hands in the right spot on the keyboard quickly.
Exclusive GameFirst III technology prioritizes network traffic for faster, lag-free online gaming. Gamers can choose from four preset packet priority modes — Optimization, Game, Media Streaming, and File Sharing — ensuring the best networking performance for different types of activities.
