the Zeus ROG Strix GL 753 is part of the first crop of gaming laptops running a four gig GeForce GTX 1050 TI graphics card one of nvidia z' new entry-level cards using its Pascal architecture the card doesn't meet the needs for VR but playing modern games at full HD resolution that it can do with the Strix you're getting the 1050 Ti cable a quad core Intel Core i7 processor 16 gigs of memory and a 256 gig SSD plus a terabyte hard drive and this nice Full HD matte finish 17.3 inch display with wide viewing angles all for about $1,300 outside of the components what you're paying for here are extras like Seuss's game center for control over the hardware including fan speeds and it's keyboard with its four zone RGB LED backlighting and scissor switch keys a quality keyboard usually gets cut from entry-level models so it's nice to have one here even if it's number pad is oddly small for the laptop size the plastic and metal body makes it a little lighter and it doesn't get as hot as slimmer 17 inch laptops it's still a big laptop though that means there's room for an optical drive and Ethernet jack and other ports including a faster Gen 1 type-c USB and an SD card slot performance is solid for gaming and day to day stuff but don't expect long battery life with this configuration overall the Strix GL 753 is a very good package but it's worth hunting around if you want to spend less or get more graphics power for its price you
