Gaming Performance
As this laptop only utilizes a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080p, our usual 1440p and 4k benchmarks have not been included. It should, however, be noted that it does include a 144HZ display which is unusual for a laptop screen and is fantastic to look at. It doesn’t affect our testing in any way, but it is a positive factor which deserves to be highlighted in the ASUS ROG GL703G laptop.
With an 8th Generation Intel i7-8750H and Nvidia 1070 graphics cards (with 8GB of VRAM), this on paper should be a decent system. We were, again not disappointed. The processor and GPU perfectly compliment each other to give some very impressive results. A particular highlight is it giving the best ever results in term of minimum framerate for Far Cry Primal.
This is, in addition, the first time that we have included the use of the Final Fantasy XV benchmarking tool. In that instance, while there are no comparative results at present, scoring over 8,000 points is impressive.

Great review, some people are complain on BSOD.
For £2,000+ in 2018, where is the Thunderbolt 3??
I bought mine from PCWorld/Currys online, price £1870. Mine did not include any gaming headset, gaming mouse, or backpack though, just a cloth bag/covering. (which I`d hardly describe as “High Quality” as this review does, its literally just a thin black cloth bag. 😉
The machine is fast, but boy oh boy, did it have a load of junkware installed… (all removed now).
There was also an issue with the RGB keyboard driver/app freezing which needed a visit to ASUS support to obtain the drivers for re-install. (their website wasn`t compatible with firefox so I could not see any download links). Performance is stellar so far, & the 144Hz display is very nice.
I bought mine ( GL703G ) from iBuyPower. I swapped out the 1tb Hdd for a Samsung 2tb 960 EVO SSD. I also Opted for the 16gb of GSkill Ripjaws RAM as that is what I use in my Desktop build. I am having second thoughts about not going for a larger M.2 Drive. Thinking I should have opted for a 1tb M.2. Total cost was $2273 USD. My Desktop build is running the i7 6700k Skylake processor and has been upgraded to a GTX 1080 GPU. When I started up the lap top, I got it set up, then proceeded to Install Steam and GoG. I installed a few games and checked them out as was totally blown away with the graphics display. My monitor on the desktop is only 1680×1050. There is a big difference between that and 1920×1080. I have since gotten a new monitor. It came with Windows 10 Home installed and I was surprised to find that the reinstallation Disk was for Windows 10 Pro. Granted there is NO Optical drive, but went and got an External Optical drive. I don’t use the touch pad on those things as I prefer a Mouse. I also bought a bag for it and whatever other accessories I have for it, so good to go. I am very happy with it. It is also good for when I do a complete Wipe and reinstall on this Desktop. I do have one with an Intel i3 that does pretty well when I am working on this desktop, but now I am giving up nothing in the interim. I do not like the GUI of Windows 10, but just install Classic Shell and take care of that.
