Asus ROG G703GI technical characteristics

Unboxing and design

The manufacturer offers the Asus ROG G703GI with excellent protection so that it reaches the hands of its end user in perfect condition. The laptop comes in two cardboard boxes, an outer one that acts as a protection for shipping, and the inner box that is the one that contains the laptop. The design of the main box is very simple, with a predominance of black and the Asus ROG logo. The box has a handle to help transport it more easily.

We open the box and find the laptop in a cloth bag to protect its delicate surface. From it come all the accessories inside individual boxes. In total we fear the following bundle:

Asus ROG G703GI2 Notebook Power Supplies Documentation

Asus ROG G703GI comes with the most advanced hardware on the market, making it a formidable gaming machine. The manufacturer has also strived to improve the problems experienced by most top-of-the-range gaming laptops, especially in terms of price and battery life.

The most powerful version of the Asus ROG G703GI comes with an Intel Core i7-8750HK processor, a 17.3-inch G-Sync display, an overclocked Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card, 32GB DDR4 RAM, two 256GB PCIe SSDs. each and a 2TB SSHD hard drive. The design of the Asus ROG G703GI is more or less similar to the ROG G70, which is why an eye-catching design of large and bulky “metal armor” is expected, this is not a laptop with a MaxQ design focus like the Asus ROG Zephyrus GX501, but a machine designed to offer the best absolute performance.

The team is built with measures of 425 x 319 x 51 mm and a weight of 4.7 kg, Asus ROG G703GI is a laptop that definitely belongs in the category of desktop replacement, which means that it is not exactly very portable. This is the price we have to pay if we want the maximum power without the refrigeration being compromised.

Asus has included two power ports to plug in the two power connectors. You need to plug both of them into the Asus ROG G703GI for it to charge, which means carrying them on top and looking for two free plugs wherever you use the device. We have really seen other very high-end notebooks with only one connector, so we do not understand the inclusion of two in this case.

The case is made of brushed aluminum, it feels solid and gives the Asus ROG G703GI a truly premium look. There's a ROG logo on the back that lights up when the laptop is in use, along with a backlit keyboard that can be individually configured for each key to display a range of lighting settings.

The keyboard itself is excellent, with responsive keys that have a 2.5mm travel and respond with a satisfying 'click' when pressed, similar to a mechanical keyboard but with the obvious difference. The keyboard of the Asus ROG G703GI is one of the best that we can find in a gaming laptop. The touchpad is slightly offset to the left of the body, but it feels natural to use, and it's fast and responsive. This keyboard has configurable lighting through Asus Aura Sync.

At the top of the keyboard is a set of unique function keys that adjust the volume and mute or mute the sound from the microphone. There is also an 'Aura' button, which displays the ROG Aura software to customize RGB lighting. Next to this, there is a button with the Xbox logo, which opens the Game Bar feature in Windows 10, allowing you to easily configure the game and configure the streaming of the game online.

There is also a button with the camera logo, which launches the popular XSplit Gamecaster software for game playback, and a button with the ROG logo, displaying the Asus Gaming Center software for system maintenance and overclocking. If you use any of these services or features regularly, these buttons will be a great addition, but if you don't, they'll be pretty useless. There doesn't seem to be a way to configure the buttons to start other tasks or software, which is a shame, but at least they don't take up too much space.

Its bulky size allows it to offer a wide variety of ports, including a USB-C Thunderbolt 3 port, three USB 3.1 ports, a mini DisplayPort, HDMI, SD card reader and Ethernet port. That's a great connectivity for a laptop, with the Ethernet port as an essential component for gaming in the re, although if you want to connect wirelessly, there's also a strong 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5 connection.

Its large 17.3-inch screen helps achieve the best overall gaming and usage experience. It is a panel with IPS technology, a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, a refresh rate of 144 Hz, a response time of 3 ms and a color coverage of 72% of the NTSC spectrum. It is a high-quality panel with excellent colors and viewing angles for all types of multimedia content. This screen has Nvidia's G-Sync technology to offer maximum fluidity in games.

Other laptops have higher resolution figures, but they are often irrelevant when 1080p resolution looks sharp enough on a 17-inch screen. Asus has chosen to offer an experience with moderate resolution, but a high refresh rate. The 269-nit brightness level is enough to handle home and office lights, and the 0.21-nit black level is deeper than most gaming laptops, making dark areas in gaming they will have a lot of depth.

The display is accompanied by two 3W speakers that produce ample volume and clarity in both the mid and high range. There is no subwoofer, which means that the bass is a little weak, but they are very good speakers for a gaming laptop.

Asus has not only included a GeForce GTX 1080 within the Asus ROG G703GI, but has accompanied it with the powerful Intel Core i9-8950HK processor, an overclocked six-core and twelve-core model that is capable of operating at a base frequency of 2, 2 GHz which goes up to 4.8 GHz in turbo mode. The graphics card operates at a frequency of 1974 MHz and has 8 GB of GDDR5X memory with a 382-bit interface. This graphics card will offer a performance almost traced to that of its desktop version, this is one of the great values of a laptop like this.

All this is accompanied by 32 GB of DDR4 RAM at a speed of 2666 MHz and in a dual-channel configuration to take full advantage of the processor. It also has a 512 GB NVMe SSD storage and a 2 TB Seagate Firecuda SSHD hard drive, so you will not lack capacity or speed.

Performance and storage tests

First of all we are going to see the speed of the SSD disk of this Asus ROG G703GI, for this we have used the popular program CristalDiskMark in its latest version, this has been the result obtained.

We now turn to see the behavior of the team in the most demanding games, all of which have been executed with the graphics at maximum and in 1080p resolution, the tests have been done with the FRAPS benchmarking tool for 180 seconds, it has been repeated three times and an average has been made.

The graphic adjustments have been as follows:

Far Cry 5: Ultra TAACrysis 3: Very High SMAA x 2 Project Cars 2: Ultra MSAA High Overwatch: Epico SMAADoom 2: Ultra TSSAA x 8

Final words and conclusion about Asus ROG G703GI

Asus ROG G703GI is a laptop designed by and for gamers, something that is noticeable from the first moment. We are talking about a team that was born with the intention of offering users a portable PC, but at the same time capable of challenging large and heavy desktops from you to you. Asus has done an excellent engineering job of stuffing very powerful hardware into a fairly compact design. The look of the notebook is impeccable, with an aluminum body that feels very robust and of great quality.

The maximum temperatures playing reach 70ºC in the GPU and 93ºC in the CPU, it is a high value in the CPU but they are within the parameters allowed by Intel so that there will be no problem. We must applaud the work of the Asus design team, because putting a GeForce GTX 1080 next to an Intel Core i9-8950HK inside a laptop is very complicated. The most surprising thing is that the cooling system is quite quiet, more than those included in other less powerful equipment.

The software is the finishing touch, since all the included Asus applications are very well worked and really easy to use. Here we are talking about useful software, not the annoying bloatware that many laptops on the market usually include.

As a final conclusion, we can say that we are facing the best laptop created by Asus for gamers. Asus ROG G703GI is for sale for an approximate price of 3500 euros.
