Asus divides its gaming offerings into two lineups: ROG and a subbrand, ROG Strix. The Strix brand first appeared\u00a0in 2014\u00a0as part of Asus’ graphics cards and headset product lines that target “performance-to-premium” customers. The regular ROG name was kept for premium products.<\/p>\n
Today, the ROG Strix line encompasses laptops as well and is generally used for Asus’ less powerful, more affordable gaming notebooks, as well as some esports-focused machines. The more-expensive models maintain the original ROG branding.<\/p>\n
Focus on the G’s<\/h3>\n
Almost every ROG laptop, no matter whether its ROG or ROG Strix, has a G, GL or GX in its name.<\/p>\n
The GL series is often the smallest of them, often just over an inch thick and around 5 pounds in weight. You’ll usually find them sporting\u00a0Nvidia’s GTX 1050, 1050 Ti or 1060 GPUs\u00a0and without big, bulky exhaust ports.<\/p>\n
The G series are larger (usually around 2 inches thick and closer to 10 pounds in weight) and sport higher-end graphics cards, like a\u00a0GTX 1070 or 1080. Asus tends to include massive vents that look like spaceships, so you’ll get better thermal management and higher performance.<\/p>\n
Some of these have special features, like the upcoming\u00a0ROG Chimera G703’s\u00a0144-Hz display and the\u00a0ROG G752VS’s overclocked CPU.<\/p>\n
The best of the best can be found in the GX-series laptops, which often contain Asus’ greatest innovations. The\u00a0ROG Zephyrus GX501, for instance, is one of the thinnest gaming laptops around, with a\u00a0Max-Q design\u00a0and a vent that opens when the laptop is in use. The\u00a0ROG GX800VH\u00a0attaches to a water cooler to power dual\u00a0GTX 1080 cards in SLI.<\/p>\n
Immediately following those letters is either a 5 or a 7, signifying either a 15.6-inch or 17.3-inch display, respectively.<\/p>\n
What are the best Asus gaming laptops in each series?<\/h3>\n
Asus ROG Strix GL753
\n<\/b>We haven’t yet found an Asus ROG Strix to which we’ve given an Editor’s Choice nod (or more than 3 and a half stars), but the\u00a0ROG Strix GL753\u00a0is a decent contender.<\/p>\n
While it doesn’t have a great design, the keyboard is comfortable, although at times finicky. And unlike many in its class, it has RGB backlighting. The display is bright, and the machine’s\u00a01050 Ti GPU\u00a0can play most games, albeit not on the highest settings.<\/p>\n
Asus ROG Zephyrus (GX501)
\n<\/b>The latest in Asus’ GX series, the Zephyrus is incredibly thin, thanks to its design and Nvidia’s GTX 1080 Max-Q GPU. This machine has an innovative cooling system that opens only when the laptop is in use, an excellent\u00a0G-Sync display\u00a0and strong performance.<\/p>\n
