Harga Asus Gamers
More than a decade ago, Asus launched its sub-brand to appeal to buyers who like high-performance products that they can show off, and are willing to pay more for that privilege. ROG products typically have grandiose names, aggressive styling, red accents, and lots of bling. PC components in the series are either overclocked or designed to support overclocking, and have elaborate (or at least elaborate-sounding) power, cooling and durability enhancements.
The Strix name came about later, targeting gamers with the same aspirations but not necessarily the luxury of a bottomless budget. ROG has since expanded into a top-level brand with a dedicated community and following of its own. In fact, the notebook we're reviewing today is surprisingly bereft of branding. It's called the Republic of Gamers Strix GL553V, and you won't see the Asus name or logo anywhere on its box or body unless you look for them deliberately.Asus, or rather ROG, is clearly targeting those who consider gaming their identity. If that sounds like you, read on.Asus ROG Strix GL553V look and feelGaming laptops are usually bulky and heavy in order to accommodate top-end components and the cooling they require, and this is no exception.
We would have expected something a lot sleeker, considering the fact that and latest chips run relatively cool, but we think that this is what people expect a serious gaming laptop to look like.The first thing we noticed when unpacking the Strix GL553V was the neon orange clawmarks and ROG logo on the lid. We're used to seeing details like this which light up when a product is running, but this laptop looks like it's screaming for attention even when it's off.
We found this to be a bit over the top, but maybe some potential buyers will like it.The body of the laptop is plastic, but the surface of the lid is metal-plated. It's black with a nice brushed finish, that would have looked quite good had it not been for the aforementioned orange accents. It does pick up fingerprints and smudges very easily.When you flip the lid up, you'll see an orange border around the trackpad and another ROG logo on the keyboard deck. While these are thankfully not illumated, it shouldn't come as any surprise that Asus has outfitted this laptop with RGB keyboard backlighting. There's a lot of black plastic around the screen and keyboard, and enough space for a full-sized number pad.The island-style keys rise out of the surrounding plastic. The space bar is exaggerated and the power button is placed in the upper right corner. The arrow keys are slightly offset so that they're easy to find by feel alone.
They're smaller than usual, but thankfully they aren't all squashed into one line. The WASD keys have translucent sides to make their backlighting more prominent, but there's so much bleed from around all the keys that it doesn't make any difference.Backlighting can be controlled through the ROG Gaming Center app which has its own shortcut key above the numpad. There are four zones, and you can set individual colours for each as well as choose between always-on and a breathing rhythm. Pre startup safety review checklist. There are only three brightless levels despite the brightness slider moving in increments of 1 percent. We couldn't find any way to disable the annoying red flashing pattern that kicks in when the laptop goes to sleep.
This is much less control than we've seen on Asus graphics cards, motherboards and desktop PCs, and.We like the fact that the Strix GL553V's lid isn't flexible at all, which means there was no distortion on the screen when we tried to bend and twist it. The hinge also felt solid, and the lid didn't wobble at all when shaking the laptop or typing.On the left side, you'll find a power inlet, Ethernet port, HDMI video output, two USB 3.0 Type-A and one Type-C port, and a single 3.5mm audio socket. On the right, there's only a DVD-RW drive, a Kensington lock slot and one USB 2.0 port.
The speakers and an SD card slot are positioned beneath the front lip of the laptop's lower half, completely out of sight. The heatsink fins visible through the vents on the left, the speaker grilles in front and the rubber legs on the bottom are all the same orange colour as the lid highlights.The battery is sealed in and there's nothing to see on the bottom other than a small sticker with regulatory information and a tiny Asus logo.Asus ROG Strix GL553V specifications and software, priced starting at Rs. We're reviewing the top-end configuration which costs Rs. For this money, you get an Intel ' Core i7-7700HQ processor, which has four cores with Hyper-Threading and runs at between 2.8GHz and 3.8GHz. The other star of this show is an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050Ti GPU with 4GB of dedicated video RAM.There's a healthy 16GB of DDR4 RAM and a 256GB SATA SSD as well as a 1TB hard drive. That combination will let you boot and load games quickly while still having enough space for loads of media. The screen is a 1920x1080-pixel IPS panel, which Asus says can reproduce 72 percent of the NTSC colour gamut.For connectivity, there's Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi ac, and Bluetooth 4.0.
All three USB ports on the left operate at 5Gbps, which means that even the Type-C port doesn't support USB 3.1 speed. Still, it should be convenient over the years. There's only one HDMI video output - we would have liked a DisplayPort as well. We aren't sure if anyone will ever need to use the 8X DVD-RW drive, but it's still there.Asus claims that it is using a high-performance cooling system, but there's no support for overclocking in its software. The only thing you can do is push the fan speed, which might at best allow the CPU and GPU to throttle themselves less aggressively.One little surprise is that this laptop ships with Windows 10 Home, not Pro. It won't make a huge difference to a lot of users, but we expect Pro at this price level.
There's a lot of annoying bloatware, including some software that caused repeated intrusive popups. Asus Giftbox is a completely pointless app store with poor navigation and lots of fake entries which are just links to websites which open in your default browser.Asus ROG GL553V usage and performanceWhen we first turned our review unit on, we were completely taken aback by how loud its fans were. With absolutely nothing going on and even the Task Manager showing no CPU activity, there was a constant thrum, and if we did anything as simple as opening Windows Explorer, it would immediately ramp up to a roar. Just as we were prepared to call Asus and ask if this was normal behaviour, our usage was interrupted by a forced BIOS update. A window popped up with a large warning sign saying '1 Critical update' and started downloading data, giving us no choice in the matter.The laptop then rebooted and took us into the BIOS, where the update was applied.
At one point it seemed like nothing was happening, but thankfully we waited it out instead of assuming it had crashed. The whole process took about 15 minutes and required no intervention on our part, but we can't help but wonder how buyers would react to their systems suddenly behaving like this. Not everyone is familiar with a PC's BIOS, let alone the precautions needed when flashing it. This is an extremely sensitive process and any interruption can result in a permanently bricked machine.After this, the fans immediately began behaving themselves. They became audible only when anything actually demanding was happening, but the noise was still extremely distracting. We like the fact that Asus recognised this problem and deployed a solution, but we think it could have been handled a lot better, and no end user should have to deal with this.With that hiccup behind us, we set about getting a feel of the Strix GL553V, running all our benchmarks, and of course playing lots of games.
The screen can get pretty bright, and viewing angles are good. Colours could have been a bit punchier if the screen was glossy, but we're happy with the choice of a non-reflective finish. 1080p and higher-resolution videos looked great.The Strix GL553V has very powerful speakers. The sound is loud and clear, but not very rich. It's great for dialogue in movies and games, and multiple people can enjoy watching whatever you are. However, there's no warmth and no bass, which makes music of any kind sound tinny and harsh.Our benchmark tests showed that there's quite a lot of power under the hood, but some results were unexpected. Cinebench R15 gave us a decent enough 706 in its CPU test but failed to run the GPU-based OpenGL test.
POVRay rendered its benchmark in 4 minutes, 17 seconds, which is nearly twice as long as took. PCMark gave us 3956, 4828 and 3431 in its Home, Creative and Work tests respectively which were slightly below the Leopard Pro's scores. On the other hand, the scores of 2,391 and 3,510 in 3DMark's Time Spy and Fire Strike Ultra tests were quite a bit higher than what MSI's competitor managed.We averaged 43.4fps in Unigine Valley, running at 1920x1080 with the High quality preset. Star Swarm gave us a pretty good 50.27fps. We also ran through a few synthetic benchmarks built into games. Rise of the Tomb Raider gave us 53.56fps at its High preset and 43.64fps at the Very High preset, using the laptop's native 1920x1080 resolution.
Ashes of the Singularity managed to pump out 42.8fps and 30.3fps using the Standard and Extreme presets respectively, using DirectX 12.Moving on to manual run-throughs, we measured quality in terms of frames per second as well as frame pacing, which gives us a picture of how consistent performance is rather than only looking at one average which might mask extreme variations. We ran Rise of the Tomb Raider at its High preset and as the graph shows quite clearly, there were massive variations in frame timings. While the average frame rate of 44fps looks smooth and the average time of 22.7ms is good, pacing was unven throughout, with the 99th percentile time nearly double that at 42.7ms. We then ran Far Cry 4 at its High preset and found that it performed a lot better. The average frame rate was 61fps and pace was 16.3ms, with a fairly tightly packed graph showing only minor variance.Battery life was quite disappointing.
We found that this laptop died in less than four hours when used for casual Web surfing, a bit of video streaming and general productivity. It lasted longer when we were just playing video files, possibly thanks to Kaby Lake's low-energy video playback capabilities. Our CPU and graphics-intensive Battery Eater Pro test ran for just 49 minutes.VerdictAsus is one of the only companies that sells a whole range of gaming laptops in India, and we've tested several of them over the years. We've seen and some, and what's clear is that Asus knows how to reach different kinds of buyers.The ROG Strix GL553V ditches the familiar and reassuring Asus brand for something much younger and more aggressive. As a product, it reflects this with its brash styling and overall lack of finesse. This is not a laptop that wants to be slim or sleek, even if it could be. Everything about it is loud - figuratively and literally.However, even if you do see yourself as someone who would like to flaunt that kind of image, it might be worth checking out the lower-priced variants and even some competing products.

THE FIRST TUF GAMING LAPTOPTOUGH BEYOND STANDARDInfused with the spirit of The Ultimate Force (TUF) and designed to strike fear into the heart of the enemy, the durable and lightweight FX504 is the first laptop in the TUF Gaming family. A powerful, portable, and enduring all-rounder, FX504 is able to play the latest games and multitask with ease, while at the same time providing unmatched toughness and durability to give you immersive gaming experiences for years to come. The patented Anti-Dust Cooling system provides the necessary cooling for graphically-intense gaming sessions, and prolongs the lifespan of the machine by expelling harmful dust particles and dirt. Whether you're using FX504 for extended gaming or long typing sessions at work — it'll take it in stride thanks to a 20 million key press lifespan, which doubles the industry standard of 10 million key presses. FX504 is designed to impress — choose from four different designs to match your personality and style. FX504 is tough beyond standard and has everything you need for work or play. 120HZ PANELIMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE GAMEFX504 features an ultrafast 120Hz, 15.6-inch wide-view display.
With a 3ms response time and capable of displaying 120 frames per second, the display makes movies appear more vivid, and games run smoother — giving a visual experience that brings you right in the heart of the action. Compared to standard 60Hz panels, the 120Hz panel lets you react instantly to what's happening onscreen, so you gain an advantage in fast-paced titles. Its 130% sRGB (equivalent to 94% NTSC) wide color gamut ensures great contrast and color consistency too. The panel even has a matte finish to virtually eliminate distracting glare or reflections. HYPERCOOL TECHNOLOGYIMPROVED COOLING AND LONGER LIFESPANThe thermal design of FX504 significantly prolongs its lifespan and provides stable performance for graphics-intensive gaming, with HyperCool technology combining the patented self-cleaning ADC system with the customizable Fan Overboost function.
By expelling harmful dust particles and dirt from the chassis through two dedicated tunnels, the ADC system is a cooling masterpiece that acts like the laptop's immune system — preventing build-up in the thermal fins to increase system stability and lifespan. The adjustable Fan Overboost function is specially designed to fit multitasking and gaming needs: Choose between three different modes to find the perfect balance between fan performance and noise level.
A pair of copper heat pipes and a dual-fan system cool the processor and graphics card independently, while the airflow-optimized chassis design increases thermal efficiency by up to 27% in contrast to standards cases. An intelligently-placed fan is located right below the WASD key group to ensure your keyboard stays cool even during long gaming sessions. ANTI-DUST TUNNELSAn exclusive internal design forces dust and debris to exit the chassis through two anti-dust tunnels located at the edges of the fans. Dust accumulation between the fins or inside the chassis is a common problem, and it leads to decreased cooling performance, high battery consumption through overworked fans, and may even damage the system.
Opening the chassis may void the warranty, while repair centers are time-consuming and expensive. The patented Anti-Dust Cooling system prevents the thermal fins from becoming caked in grime, benefitting both longevity and reliability. FAN OVERBOOSTA single press of the function key allows you to quickly and easily select from three fan performance modes to control noise levels and power consumption.
Fan Overboost mode intelligently boosts fan power when CPU and GPU temperatures increase to ensure system stability and sustain high framerates during gaming. The Silent mode curbs noise level and power consumption, ideal for less demanding tasks such as surfing online or using productivity apps at work. A balanced mode combines the best of both worlds by delivering stable fan performance at a moderate noise level and power consumption.
DTS HEADPHONE:X™IMMERSIVE 7.1-CHANNEL SURROUND SOUNDDTS Headphone:X™ delivers an immersive 7.1-channel surround sound experience that enables your headphones, external and laptop speakers to deliver home theater-quality audio. Whether you're playing games, watching a movie, or cheering on your favorite sports team, DTS offers several content modes to take you right into the heart of the action!
The Game profile enables the audio engine to process sounds more accurately than ever, allowing you to be completely aware of what's going on around you so you can hear where enemies are coming from, as DTS Headphone:X can precisely emulate the experience of being surrounded by multiple speakers. Furthermore, the built-in equalizer satisfies the needs of every audiophile, providing detailed audio adjustment options to let you create your own personal sound environment. EXTRA DURABLE KEYBOARDOPTIMIZED FOR GAMING AND TYPINGThe design of each component in FX504 is carefully thought out and made to last, with a desktop-inspired keyboard that is perfectly optimized for extended gaming and typing sessions. With a lifespan of 20 million key presses, FX504 has one of the most durable keyboards to be found in a laptop — double that of the current industry standard of 10 million key presses.
The scissor-switched keys have 0.25mm keycap curves and offer 1.8mm of travel for smooth and tactile keystrokes, and are backlit in striking red so they're clearly visible when gaming or working in the dark. Exclusive Overstroke technology ensures that keys are registered early with an extended distance after the actuation point for precision and comfort. Highlighted WASD keys, a broad space bar, and isolated arrow keys enable fast and accurate control. 20 Million Key PressesKeyboards are a weak spot in today's laptops, be it an unusual layout, low precision, or just simply unreliable. A 10-key average typing speed of 8,000 keystrokes per hour (KPH) explains why standard keyboards break after a few years of use.
For those reasons, FX504 comes with a desktop-inspired keyboard layout and exclusive Overstroke technology, with each key able to endure up to 20 million presses — twice the industry standard. It's a keyboard that promises an extended lifespan without compromising accuracy and comfort.
