The ASUS ROG FX503 could be the next contender to Google’s Pixelbook because it comes with the most recent Standard Voltage Intel Core processor and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 10 Series graphics, which makes it a formidable Windows 10 gaming laptop that’s fashionable and portable. However, is it worth the $900 cost? I had the opportunity to have a look at one during CES 2018. Let’s review how it’s compared to the Google Pixelbook 12in.
General Design
Asus ROG Strix, The GL502VS-DS71 from Asus, is an excellent option for work as well as play. It’s a fantastic cost, an impressive screen, and impressive hardware that can take on everything you throw at it. Although it’s not going to replace your gaming laptop or desktop, it’s a stunning machine on its own. If you’re looking to play at a low cost, then it could be better over other expensive choices in our selection. And if you do not intend to play games with high resolutions or settings, the machine could be great for casual gaming. However, should you decide to play any games, you must update your graphic card as quickly as you can.
Display Quality
In terms of display quality, Both Chromebooks perform well. The Pixelbook comes with a 12.3-inch Quad HD touchscreen display which looks stunning whether you’re playing video or switching between applications; if you’re looking for more graphics and color, opt for an ASUS ROG Strix G553VD with the Full HD 15.6-inch display that’s bright, and clear for gaming.
Hardware Specifications
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti featuring 4GB GDDR5 and the latest 8th Generation Intel Core I7-8750H Processor (6 Cores with 12MB of Cache) with integrated graphics Intel UHD Graphics630. The laptop comes fully equipped with 16GB of DDR4 2400 MHz RAM as well as 256GB M.2 SSD. It also has another HDD/SSD slot as well as two additional RAM slots that allow 32GB in total! The laptop has two USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-A ports, one USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A port, 1 USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type C port, one HDMI port, and a 2-in-1 SD Card reader that allows for fast transfer of data!
Performance and Benchmarks
The Dell Chromebook 13 equipped with Intel Core i5 is faster than Acer Swift 3, Microsoft Surface Book 2 and ASUS ROG Zephyrus GX501VS, and ASUS ROG Zephyrus M GX501GS. However, its performance for 3DMark 11 might be lower than the results from Microsoft Surface Book 2 and ASUS ROG Zephyrus GX501VS. However, it’s still a fantastic result for laptops that feature an integrated graphics card.
Operating System
Chrome OS vs. Windows 10. Both operating systems are distinct; however, both have strengths. Google’s Chrome OS is known for its speedy time to boot, while Windows 10 from Microsoft Windows 10 is an ever-evolving device that can be tailored for any purpose or circumstance. Let’s put these two giants against one another in a fight for supremacy in your notebook.
Gaming on the Go
Despite its size, the ASUS ROG STRIX GL703GE remains one of the top gaming laptops designed for gamers who are hardcore. It comes with an Intel Core i7-7700HQ seventh-generation processor as well as an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphic card with 6GB of GDDR5 VRAM. It gives you a thrilling gaming experience anywhere you travel. The combination of performance and portability makes it perfect for playing AAA games such as Overwatch or DOOM in ultra settings on a QHD screen.
