Fremont, CA September 1, 2017 - ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced the Strix GL503 and GL703, all-new gaming laptops made for those on the go, with a 15.6-inch or 17.3-inch display in a thin and light package. Engineered with Intel® Core™ i7 processors and NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050 graphics, the Strix GL503 and G703 push the boundaries to deliver performance levels and style usually found only in higher-end laptops.

Being both visually distinctive and strikingly sophisticated is one of the main attractions of the new Strix laptops. The bold indentation and brushed-metal finish on the lid, plus the deep, rich red of the thermal fin, combine to project the new Strix GL503 and Strix GL703 design as a piece of modern art — a gaming laptop that delights not only those who care about performance but also those who demand great aesthetics. The Strix GL503 and Strix GL703 are also engineered with customizable Aura RGB illumination, enabling users to personalize the lighting scheme to match different moods or styles.

Fantastic Speed and Agility for Esports and Serious Productivity

With 7th Generation Intel Core i7 quad-core processors and VR-ready NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 graphics, the ROG Strix GL503 and Strix GL703 deliver the fierce performance required to participate and succeed in esports competitions — as well as the ability to handle demanding multitasking for superb productivity. The Strix GL503 and Strix GL703 are also easily expandable, and able to accommodate up to 32GB of fast DDR4 2400MHz memory.

Compared to many gaming laptops, the Strix GL503 in particular is remarkably sleek, slim and light, weighing just 5.07 lbs and with profile that’s just 0.91-inches thin. This superb portability that doesn’t sacrifice performance provides agile firepower for those who like to game on the go, enabling players to enjoy graphically demanding titles anywhere and anytime — including the latest VR thrills. The Strix GL503 and Strix GL703’s compact designs and powerful specifications are also great for when it’s time to work, as they’re considerably more capable than everyday consumer notebooks.

Customizable and Comfortable

The ROG Strix GL503 and Strix GL703 are easily customizable, and loaded with innovation and little touches that make both gaming and everyday use a joy.

The keyboard is backlit by Aura RGB technology, allowing users to create customized and zoned illumination schemes. The gamer-friendly WASD key group is highlighted for easy identification and location, and N-key rollover and anti-ghosting technologies ensure that inputs are tracked precisely — no matter how many keys are pressed at once. To further aid accuracy, and for added comfort, each key also benefits from a 0.25mm keycap curve.

The Strix GL503 and GL703 also provide a treat for the ears, with built-in smart-amplifier technology that delivers loud audio with minimal distortion for smooth, rich sound. The system also automatically monitors and reduces intensity of output to prevent potential damage from speakers overheating or overloading — guaranteeing consistently great audio experiences.

ROG Strix SCAR Edition

The ROG Strix SCAR Edition, available before end of the year, was built with special attention to FPS gamers looking for a competitive edge. The Strix SCAR Edition will be powered by a Intel Core i7 processor and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 GPU. The display on Strix SCAR Edition has a super-fast 5ms response time and 120Hz refresh rate that work together to deliver smooth and accurate visuals and to eliminate motion blur. The Strix SCAR Edition also comes with a desktop-style keyboard layout, fast-actuation keys, and N-key rollover to provide absolute precision during the game.

ROG Strix HERO Edition

Engineered for the best MOBA experience, the ROG Strix Hero Edition features a powerful Intel Core i7 processor and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 GPU. A 120Hz wide-view display decimates lag and motion blur, so the whole game world is clearer and smoother, and a 100% sRGB color gamut provides consistent light intensity and improved contrast, color accuracy and fidelity. The Strix Hero Edition comes equipped with a desktop-style keyboard with N-key rollover for fast, precise response, and a 20 million key-press lifecycle for outstanding keyboard durability.
