The Asus ROG G701VI is a powerful gaming notebook with a GTX 1080 GPU and a screen with the best viewing angles on the market.

Review

To maintain your competitive edge while you game, you can't take your eyes away from the screen -- not even for a second. That's where the Asus ROG G701VI ($2,999.99 to start; $3,499.99 as tested) comes in. Its 1080p G-Sync display offers whopping 178-degree viewing angles, making your fragging visible no matter where you sit (or what snack you move over to reach for). Its Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 GPU delivers monster performance and supports the latest VR headsets, making the G701VI a solid choice for anyone who wants games to look and play their best.

Design

Asus really nailed it with its new design for gaming laptops. The ROG G701VI looks quite a bit like the Asus ROG G752VS OC Edition, and I'm just fine with that. The lid is gunmetal gray with copper accents and the over-the-top ROG logo in between two glowing orange stripes. It looks intense but isn't the cliched red and black we've seen time and time again. There are some seriously large vents on the back of the machine. However, they're all black, unlike the ones on the G752VS, which are decorated with glowing orange lights.

Lifting the lid reveals the 17.3-inch, 1080p display; island-style keyboard with a number pad; and a two-tone deck made of gunmetal aluminum and black soft-touch material.

At 8.2 pounds and 16.1 x 12.2 x 1.5 inches, the G701VI is fairly hefty, but not as backbreaking as some other 17-inch gaming notebooks. The G752VS is slightly larger, at 15.4 x 12.7 x 1.5 inches and 8.9 pounds, and the Origin PC Eon17-SLX 10 Series, with its two graphics cards, is 17 x 12 x 1.9 inches and a muscle-straining 12.8 pounds. The Aorus X7 v6 is about the same size as the G701VI at 16.9 x 12 x 1 inches, but a pound lighter, at 7.2 pounds.

The sides of the G701VI are lined with every port you could possibly need. On the left are two USB 3.0 ports, separate headphone and microphone jacks, and an SD card slot. On the right, there's another USB 3.0 port, an HDMI port and a mini DisplayPort for video output; a pair of USB Type-C ports (one of which supports Thunderbolt 3); and an Ethernet jack.

Display

The 17.3-inch, 1080p, 120Hz G-Sync display on the G701VI is incredibly sharp, with vivid colors and spectacular viewing angles, but it's a bit dim. When I watched the trailer for Spider-Man: Homecoming, the hero's red and blue costume popped against the stone of the Washington Monument, and during a close-up on actor Tom Holland, I could see his freckles and peach fuzz. Asus makes good on its promise of 178-degree viewing angles; I could make out the Vulture's glowing green eyes and furry jacket collar even from the side of the laptop, although it wasn't as bright as it was when I viewed the screen straight-on.

As I soared through the skies of Gotham City in Batman: Arkham Knight, the pink and red lights on buildings popped against the gray skies. I could see beads of rain sticking to Batman's cape and the hairs on the villain Man-Bat's wings and neck.

The G701VI's screen covers an excellent 112 percent of the sRGB color gamut, but its competitors show off even more vivid hues. The desktop-replacement average is 128 percent, and the Aorus (114 percent), G752VS (also 114 percent) and Origin (an incredible 178 percent) offered more magnificent colors than the G701VI.

With a Delta-E color score of 2.4, the G701VI doesn't offer the most exact shades (0 is the ideal score). The average is 1.3, and the Origin (1.0) and G752VS (0.9) were even better. The Aorus was less exact, with a score of 3.5.

At 287 nits of brightness, the G701VI matches the Aorus but is dimmer than the average (298 nits), the G752VS (326 nits) and the Origin (335 nits).

Audio

The G701VI's speakers produced clear sound while I was gaming and listening to music. When I played Batman: Arkham Knight, Alfred's voice came through clearly on a call with Batman discussing the results of Man-Bat's vitals, and I could hear the solid click of the grappling hook attaching to buildings as Batman soared from one edifice to the next. Unfortunately, the volume didn't go as high as I would have liked.

The G701VI also makes for a solid jukebox. When I listened to Daft Punk's 'Get Lucky,' the audio filled our midsize conference room with sound, though I would have preferred it even louder. The vocals and guitar were clear, but I wanted more bass. I used the Sonic Studio II app to go through equalizers and adjust the bass and reverb to get the song exactly how I wanted it.

One note: Don't play games or listen to music on max volume, as the sound tends to get a bit distorted.

Keyboard and Touchpad

The G701VI's keyboard isn't as clicky and responsive as some other gaming keyboards (a few of which are even mechanical), but it was still comfortable to use. Despite the keyboard's shallow 1.3 millimeters of travel and 62 grams of force required to press the keys, I never found myself bottoming out. With my wrists placed firmly on the comfortable, soft-touch deck, I typed 118 words per minute with a 3 percent error rate. That's faster than my usual 107 wpm, but also higher than my usual 2 percent mistake ratio. The keyboard buckled a bit as I typed, but not enough to affect my performance.There are five macro keys at the top of the keyboard that can be customized with the ROG MacroKey software, and the red backlighting can be adjusted slightly in the ROG Gaming Center to only illuminate the keys on the left side of the keyboard most commonly used for gaming. (However, red is the only color option.)

The 4.6 x 2.6-inch touchpad provides more than enough room to navigate the massive display, and was accurate as I two-finger-scrolled through web pages and swiped with three fingers left and right to switch between apps. Asus includes a program that lets you handwrite characters on the touchpad with your finger, but I found that it wasn't terribly accurate (and I'd much rather type than write out letters by hand).

Gaming, Graphics and VR

The Asus ROG G701VI scored high marks on our gaming benchmarks, thanks to its beefy Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 GPU with 8GB of VRAM. The 1080 is the highest-end graphics card in Nvidia's Pascal series, which is suitable for use with VR headsets such as the HTC Vive and the Oculus Rift, as well as intense games.

When I played Batman: Arkham Knight, I chased Man-Bat through the skies over Gotham City's Miagani Island. On High settings at 1080p, I used the grappling hook to race between buildings at 90 frames per second, which is the game's frame-rate cap. To tax the system more, I turned on Nvidia's GameWorks effects, including interactive fog and rain, more realistic lighting, and paper debris floating through the streets. With those enhancements, I continued the pursuit with frame rates between 67 and 87 fps. The entire experience was smooth, with no tearing at all thanks to Nvidia's G-Sync, which synchronizes the screen's refresh rate with the GPU's performance.

On the Hitman benchmark at 1080p and Ultra settings, the G701VI ran at 109 fps, surpassing the desktop-replacement average of 80 fps, the Origin (two GTX 1080s, 103 fps), the Aorus (GTX 1070, 100.6 fps) and the G752VS (GTX 1070, 89 fps).

The G701VI also put on a strong showing in our Grand Theft Auto V benchmark; it ran at 119 fps at 1080p and Very High settings, towering over the average of 91 fps. Only the Origin did better, at 121 fps, while the Aorus and G752VS were weaker performers, at 74 fps and 69 fps, respectively.

When it comes to VR readiness, the G701VI will serve you well. It earned a high score of 10.9, topped only by the Origin's 11. The average is 9.2, and the G752VS was only slightly behind, at 10.5.

Performance

With its 2.7-GHz Intel Core i7-6820HK, 64GB of RAM, two 512GB PCIe M.2 SSDs in a RAID0 setup and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 GPU with 8GB of VRAM, the G701VI is ready for any productivity task you throw at it. Heck, it's overkill for most productivity tasks. I was able to stream two 1080p videos from YouTube simultaneously and switch among 40 open tabs in Chrome without experiencing any hint of lag.

The laptop earned a score of 16,120 on the Geekbench 3 overall performance test. That's a bit lower than the desktop-replacement average (Core i7-6700K, 17,348) and the Origin (Core i7-6820HK, 17,639) and just shy of the Aorus (Core i7-6820HK, 16,411), but it surpasses the number the G752VS put up (15,563).

The G701VI took just 8 seconds to transfer 4.97GB of mixed media files. That's a transfer rate of 636.2 megabytes per second, which is faster than the category average (539.9 MBps). It's also speedier than the Aorus (462.7 MBps) and the Origin (424.1 MBps), but slower than the G752VS (848.2 MBps).

It took a quick 3 minutes and 14 seconds for the G701VI to pair 20,000 names and addresses in our OpenOffice Spreadsheet Macro Test. Although the Origin and Aorus were a few seconds ahead (both finished in 3:09), the G701VI beat the category average (3:35) as well as the G752VS (3:23).

Battery Life

The G701VI is further proof that boasting a Pascal GPU means suffering from paltry battery life. The laptop lasted 3 hours and 18 minutes on the Laptop Mag Battery Test, which involves browsing the web continuously over Wi-Fi. That's worse than the 4:28 desktop-replacement average, but better than the Origin's 1:25 -- it has to power two Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 GPUs -- and the Aorus (2:23). The G752VS lasted a little longer, at 3:42.

Heat

The G701VI kept its cool under regular use. After it streamed 15 minutes of HD video from YouTube, the machine measured 94 degrees Fahrenheit on the bottom, 92 degrees in the center of the keyboard and 87 degrees on the touchpad. None of those temperatures surpass our 95-degree comfort threshold.

But when I played Batman: Arkham Knight, the machine heated up, reaching 115 degrees on the bottom, 106 degrees between the G and H keys on the keyboard, and 92.5 degrees on the touchpad.

Webcam

If you don't have an external webcam for streaming your games on Twitch, the one built into the G701VI will do the job. Photos are detailed and color accurate, albeit occasionally a tad dark. In a picture I snapped in our office under challenging lighting conditions, my eyes look bruised and a co-worker behind me looks like he's completely in shadow. However, it did capture the color of my green sweater exactly, and I could make out my dimple even though it was in shadow.

Software and Warranty

The Asus ROG G701VI is stacked with useful software to customize your computer and your gaming experience. The main app is ROG Gaming Center, an insanely comprehensive utility that makes it easy to overclock your CPU, adjust your system fans, and customize your sound and keyboard. Additionally, the Eye Care Switcher app reduces blue light to prevent eyestrain, especially during late-night gaming sessions. Additionally, XSplit Gamecaster comes preinstalled with all of its features unlocked for free, which makes for easy Twitch streaming.

The notebook also has its share of bloatware, including Music Maker Jam, TripAdvisor, Flipboard, PicsArt and Netflix.

Asus sells the notebook with a one-year warranty. See how the company did on our Tech Support Showdown and Best and Worst Brands ranking.

Configurations

The Asus ROG G701VI we reviewed cost $3,500 and came packed with a 2.7-GHz Intel Core i7-6820HK, 64GB of RAM, two 512GB PCIe M.2 SSDs set in a RAID0 configuration, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 GPU with 8GB of VRAM.

Asus sells one other configuration of the laptop: a $3,000 version with the same CPU and GPU, but 32GB of RAM and a single 512GB PCIe M.2 SSD.

Bottom Line

The Asus ROG G701VI is a powerful gaming laptop with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 GPU that prepares it for almost any game or VR experience. If you're willing to pay $3,500 for a computer, you'll get one with specs that will deliver high-performance gaming for years on a 1080p display with spectacular viewing angles.

If you want a 17-inch gaming notebook for a bit less, consider the Aorus X7 v6, which starts at $2,300, is slightly lighter and offers solid performance from its GTX 1070 (albeit not as good as what the G701 1080 offers, but hey, you get what you pay for).

But if you want the best viewing angles you can get on a gaming notebook today and a beautiful design that stands out from the crowd, the G701VI will be perfect for your battle station.

Dim display

The Asus ROG GU501 delivers gaming graphics in a sleek package with solid audio, but the display is too dim.

Review

If you haven't noticed, Asus' latest flagship laptop, the ROG Zephyrus M GM501, looks good -- so good, in fact, that the look is trickling down to Asus' mainstream line. The Asus ROG GU501 ($1,500) is almost identical to that flagship machine, but it has a midrange Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 GPU. You still get a customizable RGB keyboard and strong audio quality, but its weak point is a dim display.

If you're willing to wait, Asus is launching a new Zephyrus M GU502 with 9th Gen Intel Core processors.

Design

You may have seen this one before. The ROG GU501 looks almost identical to the Asus ROG Zephyrus M GM501 we recently reviewed. It's made of a handsome black aluminum with a two-toned effect, and has a large, mirror-shined ROG logo on the right side of the lid that lights up in a menacing red when the laptop is on. The lid also has a small Republic of Gamers logo on the very bottom of the light, and a cutout lets you see the status lights even when the machine is closed.

When you open the laptop, you'll find a 15.6-inch, 1080p display surrounded by a thick bezel. There's a full island-style keyboard with a number pad on the aluminum deck and some volume hot keys above the Function row.

But if you're comparing the GU501 to the Zephyrus, you'll also notice what's missing: an exhaust panel on the back of the machine that opens and closes with the laptop, allowing for a ton of heat to escape. On the GU501, there are two legs in the back that lift the machine up to let a little extra heat escape, but there's nothing as dramatic as the vent.

Despite its slim chassis, the GU501 boasts plenty of ports. On the left side, there are three USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI output, a combination headphone-microphone jack and a power jack. The right side includes a fourth USB Type-A (3.0) port, a Thunderbolt 3 port and a Kensington lock slot.

At 5.4 pounds and 15.1 x 10.3 x 0.7 inches, the GU501 is light for a gaming notebook and quite slim. Acer's Predator Helios 300 is close (5.5 pounds, 15.4 x 10.5 x 1.5 inches), while both the PowerSpec 1510 (6.5 pounds, 15.3 x 10.8 x 1.3 inches) and the Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming (6 pounds, 15.2 x 10.8 x 1 inches) are larger and heavier.

Display

The 15.6-inch, 1080p display on the GU501 isn't as bright as I'd like, but it's vivid. When I watched the trailer for Deadpool 2, there were a few city-based scenes where I wished I could bump up the brightness, though Deadpool's red costume often popped against the gray cityscape. The yellow jumpsuits in the prison scene also stood out in a factory.

When I played Middle-earth: Shadow of War, the game looked darker than it should have, especially as dusk turned to evening. It made it difficult to see Talion's leather cloak and the greenery around an orc outpost.

The 15.6-inch, 1080p display on the GU501 isn't as bright as I'd like, but it's vivid.

Asus' panel covers an excellent 115 percent of the sRGB color gamut, which is more vivid than the PowerSpec 1510 (113 percent), the Acer Predator Helios 300 (81 percent) and the Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming (70 percent). But the mainstream gaming average of 119 percent was slightly higher.

MORE: Best Graphics Performance

On our light meter, the display measured an average of 291 nits of brightness, beating the Helios 300 (226 nits) and the Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming (233 nits). However, it's less luminous than the average (303 nits) and the PowerSpec 1510 (306 nits).

Keyboard and Touchpad

The GU501's keyboard offers 1.4 millimeters of travel, which is just shy of the 1.5 mm we prefer. With 68 grams of force required to press the keys down, the keyboard was slightly stiff. I got used to it, but I also bottomed out more than I would have liked. Nonetheless, I hit 108 words per minute on the 10fastfingers.com typing test, which is normal for me, with my usual 2-percent error rate.

You can customize the keyboard backlighting with the ROG Aura Core software. It allows for a series of effects, like switching between colors or cycling between them, and lets you adjust the colors manually by zone.

The 4.0 x 2.3-inch touchpad is a bit short, but it does the job (and you'll probably use a gaming mouse most of the time anyway). With Windows Precision drivers, it can handle complex gestures like tapping three fingers to summon Cortana, as well as standard two-finger gestures like scrolling and pinch-to-zoom.

Audio

The ROG GU501 is loud and proud. The sound from the speakers easily filled a midsize conference room at just 50 percent of its max volume. The audio is also detailed: When I listened to The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar's 'Pray for Me,' the vocals, synthetics and even deep bass came through. However, at louder volumes, the vocals blew out a bit, so I tended to keep it on the quiet side. In the preinstalled Sonic Studio III app, I found that switching to Movie or Gaming modes made that effect worse, so the default music option is likely your best bet.

The ROG GU501 sounded great while gaming, though. As I played Middle-earth: Shadow of War, I could hear Talion's footsteps crunching leaves, and orcs' taunts during battles were loud and clear.

Gaming, Graphics and VR

Asus armed the GU501 with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 GPU with 6GB of VRAM, so it's VR-ready and can play most games at high settings. In fact, I cranked Middle-earth: Shadow of War up to ultra at 1080p, and it ran between 45 and 53 frames per second as I fled from, and attempted to fend off, a particularly angry herd of orcs (one of which was on fire, because, hey, fantasy).

On the Rise of the Tomb Raider (1080p, very high) benchmark, the GU501 ran the game at 36 fps, beating the mainstream-gaming category average (34 fps) and the Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming (31 fps, GTX 1060) but not the PowerSpec 1510 (56 fps, GTX 1070) or the Acer Predator Helios 300 (67 fps, GTX 1060).

During Hitman (1080p, ultra), the laptop ran the game at 55 fps, falling behind the PowerSpec (60 fps) and the Helios (64 fps) and tying the Inspiron (55 fps), but all of those laptops fell short of the average (68 fps).

On the Grand Theft Auto V benchmark (1080p, very high), the GU501 ran at 48 fps, which is higher than the frame rate from the Inspiron (44 fps) but a frame lower than that from the Helios (49 fps) and behind both the average (56 fps) and the PowerSpec (60 fps).

The ROG GU501 earned a score of 7 (out of 11) on the SteamVR performance test, so it should work with your HTC Vive, Vive Pro or Oculus Rift. The PowerSpec, with its more powerful GPU, turned in an 11, but the mainstream average is a lower 5.5. The Inspiron got a 5.9, and the Helios notched a 7.1.

Performance

With the latest Intel Core i7-8750H CPU, 16GB of RAM, a 128GB SSD and a 1TB SSHD (with an 8GB SSD cache), everyday computing tasks are a joke to the GU501. Need 25 browser tabs open? I did that in Google Chrome, including one streaming a 1080p episode of Last Week Tonight, and there was no lag at all.

On the Geekbench 4 overall performance test, the GU501 earned a score of 17,940, which is higher than the mainstream gaming average (14,456), as well as competitors like the PowerSpec 1510 (14,223, Core i7-7700HQ), the Acer Predator Helios 300 (13,587, Core i7-7700HQ) and the Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming (10,535, Core i5-7300U), which havelast-generation processors.

Asus' notebook copied 4.97GB of files in 22 seconds, for a rate of 231 MBps. While that's faster than the Helios (188.5 MBps), it's slower than the average (340.3 MBps), as well as the speeds from the Inspiron (339 MBps) and the PowerSpec (391.5 Mbps).

The GU501 paired 65,000 names and addresses on our Excel macro test in 37 seconds, putting it far ahead of the average (52 seconds) and the times from the PowerSpec (1:08) and the Inspiron (1:29).

On our HandBrake video editing test, the GU501 took 10 minutes and 22 seconds to transcode a 4K video to 1080p, beating the average (13:16) and the times from the PowerSpec (14:00) and the Inspiron (19:06).

Battery Life

Asus' laptop, like most gaming notebooks, doesn't last all that long on a charge. It endured for just 4 hours and 43 minutes on the Laptop Mag Battery Test 2.0, which continuously runs through web pages, videos and graphics benchmarks over Wi-Fi. That's longer than the average mainstream gaming notebook lasted (3:01), but the Helios (6:01) and the Inspiron (7:17) endured longer.

Heat

Despite not having its more expensive cousin's exhaust vent, the ROG GU501 stayed nice and cool in our everyday testing. It measured just 84 degrees Fahrenheit on the touchpad and 89 degrees on both the keyboard and the bottom.

Despite not having its more expensive cousin's exhaust vent, the ROG GU501 stayed nice and cool in our everyday testing.

Unsurprisingly, it got a bit warmer while gaming. While playing Middle-earth: Shadow of War, it reached 93 degrees on the keyboard, 77 degrees on the touchpad and 104 degrees on the underside, which is well above our 95-degree comfort threshold.

Webcam

The ROG GU501's 720p webcam is fine for simple video chats, but I wouldn't use it to livestream a game. When I took a photo at my desk, some details, like my beard, were blurry. And while the blue stripes on my shirt showed up, the yellow square appeared almost white.

Software and Warranty

The GU501 is chock-full of Asus software. While some of it is helpful for gaming, there's also a ton of bloat.

The most useful is ROG Gaming Center, which shows you device information such as temperature, storage and RAM usage, and also lets you customize fan options. ROG Aura Core lets you program the RGB backlighting, and ROG GameVisual offers different color temperatures for various game genres.

But Asus also bundled in the Asus 'Giftbox,' which offers deals on storage and apps from partners. It also has WPS Office, a Microsoft Office knockoff, preinstalled, though you only get a 60-day trial of WPS Writer, WPS Presentation and WPS Spreadsheets. There's also a Battery Manager by Asus, but Windows 10 has its own. Asus has also put in Netflix and LinkedIn under its name in the Start menu.

MORE: Longest Battery Life Laptops

Of course, there's also the usual bloatware that comes in every Windows 10 installation, like Skype, Disney Magic Kingdoms, March of Empires: War of Lords and, somehow, both Candy Crush Saga and Candy Crush Soda Saga (you know, in case you're a fan of the series and wanted both preinstalled on your new machine).

Asus ROG GU501 vs. the Competition

When we put the Asus ROG GU501 up against the MSI GS65 Stealth Thin (starting at $1,649) and the Lenovo Legion Y530 (starting at $637), the ROG GU501 held its own quite well.

We praised the Legion Y530 for its premium design and solid performance at sub-$1,000, while we gave higher marks to the GU501 for its stronger, VR-ready GPU and a gorgeous 144-Hertz, 1080p display packed in a sleek ROG Zephyrus design.

Overall, the Stealth Thin won the bout due to its even stronger GPU stuffed into a slimmer profile. It also has longer battery life, at 5:40, and its 144-Hertz, 1080p panel is accompanied by barely-there bezels.

Bottom Line

The Asus ROG GU501 does a lot right: It looks great, it plays games well and its audio quality is solid. Its only real sin is that its display isn't bright enough.

If you can find it at a Micro Center near you, the PowerSpec 1510 is a better deal. At $1,400 ($100 less), you get an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 GPU, though that machine comes with a last-generation 7th Gen CPU. If you're looking for a bargain, the $1,140 Acer Predator Helios 300 is another option. It offers a GTX 1060 GPU and longer battery life, though its display is also dim.

Ultimately, that positions the ROG GU501 as a premium player in the mainstream gaming space. If you want the performance of a mainstream gaming laptop with a GTX 1060 but the premium, expensive looks of a flagship Zephyrus, it's worth paying a bit extra for this sleek machine.
