Design and Performance
The clampshell design of the ROG GX531 is brilliant of all the ROG series. The major weight of the laptop is towards the side of the keyboard. So it does make the laptop easy to open up with single finger. There is a large gap from the top screen clinch with the embedded ROG logo. The huge space is where to the RTX 2070 sits in and cooling for the same does happen. This the same area which gets heated in the intense task. So asus don’t want your fingers to get burned while typing in such situation. Due to which the keyboard is moved to the bottom part. The touchpad is moved to the side with the touchpad doubles as numpad if required, The addition of numpad and touchpad is brilliant combination in our first impression. The rear of the laptop has the RED ROG logo which does flaunts the ROG Laptop very well.
The gaming is definitely killer on this device, You could shoot any game on it and it will perform amazing. We played PUBG and PUBG on ultra-settings and got up to 93 fps on an average which is quite enough considering it is on ultra-settings. 93 FPS on Ultra is definitely machine is capable of doing a lot and especially it could enable some games to be played on the 4k Screen as well. This is all about our first impression of the laptop.
