If you must have a high end laptop aimed at gaming, the Asus ROG GL552 is the latest option in the Indian market and it costs just Rs 70999. It is quite a reasonable price for a portable PC of its kind. Other companies that are well known for dabbling in this category include Dell and MSI. Even though Razer is one of the most famous brands for gaming equipment, it doesn’t seem to think much of the scene in India anymore and doesn’t really have a strong presence here.
Going back to the Asus ROG GL552 with its glare-resistant display of 15 inches, the laptop manages to spit out 1080p full HD resolution visuals with help from its Nvidia GTX 950M GPU outfitted with 2GB VRAM. It can accommodate up to 8GB of RAM to deal with all the intensive labor you’ll be putting it through, and it has a 1TB 7200 RPM hard drive for storing all your games. The processing muscle behind this notebook is the 22nm quad core Intel i7 4720HQ Haswell chipset.
Because you’re likely to be found in a dimly lit space at LAN parties with the ROG GL552, Asus has made sure that it didn’t forget the all important backlighting feature for the deck. The full size keyboard with a number pad, embeds backlit keys with 1.8mm travel. Powered by a 4-cell battery, the notebook has a 1000Mbps Ethernet port enhanced with GameFirst III technology. The other connectivity options cover three USB 3.0 ports and a card slot.
As we’ve already mentioned above, the Asus ROG GL552 demands that you cough up Rs 70999 if you want to lay your paws on it. Major online retailers like Flipkart, Amazon India and Snapdeal will be offering it for sale.
