ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has announced the launch of its latest compact gaming notebook, the ROG Strix GL553 in India. The ultralight gaming notebook was first showcased at CES last month, and is now unveiled at Indian Gaming Show 2017.
The 15.6-inch notebook features a distinct ASUS ROG gamer styling with brushed black aluminum with an illuminated ROG logo.
The GL553 packs in a 7th Generation Intel Core i7 processor with discrete NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti/1050 graphics and offers a gamer-friendly keyboard powered by ASUS Aura with four distinct lighting areas for incredible gaming experiences in the dark. There’s also the Cooling Overboost feature which offers flexible fan speeds for custom control and better system stability.
The product is aimed at the young professionals who enjoy regular-through-heavy gaming sessions and premium entertainment when on the go, and in their spare time. In order to ensure this, we included a powerful, yet efficient set of hardware into a highly portable device that is easy on the battery as well.
