Not a bad machine but some nits3/18/2019 11:46:45 AM
Pros: NVME Boot drive plus internal hard drive, easilly swapped with an SSD.
Runs Gentoo Linux almost flawlessly, only fail point is the touch pad which is absolute garbage.
Runs Gentoo Linux almost flawlessly, only fail point is the touch pad which is absolute garbage.
Cons: NOTHING in the UEFI config to turn off hyper threading, ZERO indication as to whether or not this machine has the intel microcode fix for the HT bug applied to the FW. You CAN lose data, its rare but can happen .
Backlit keyboard is pretty much NOT visible through the keys, you can see the nice shiny lights around the edges of the keys but almost nothing shines through even on max intensity.
Will not boot off the SD card which is annoying!
NOTHING during POST to tell you to hit shift + escape to get a boot menu without going into the bios. this must be a secret or something.

Other Thoughts: Other than the few nits this is a great machine and because I run Gentoo Linux I can easily have the latest intel microcode injected into my initramfs guaranteeing a fix for the horrendously bad but very rare HT bug.
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: - Aesthetically pleasing design
- Screen is great
- Great when dealing with heavy programs like Photoshop

Cons: - The fans are LOUD when gaming

- Have had issues with keys and mouse 'sticking'

Other Thoughts: After less than a year I regret picking this laptop over the other options on my list. While it is a great looking machine, the fact that the fans get so loud while gaming makes no sense considering it's the ROG line. The problems with my keys and mouse sticking is also ridiculous. Sending the machine into ASUS did nothing considering the issue came back less than a week later. All they did was replace the keyboard, thinking that would solve the issue. I would suggest going with a different brand if you want a reliable customer service experience and a quiet gaming laptop.

ASUS ROG GL503VD-DB71 - A very big disappointment - Read the review by Drew F. I had the exact same experience S L O W5/10/2018 11:46:29 AM
Pros: - Great screen, which is why I ultimately chose this laptop.
- Nice, quality, design and build

Cons: - Slow disk drive

- backlighting on keyboard is not really useable when using at an angle (the light bleeds around the keys making the lettering difficult to view
- heavy

Other Thoughts: I bought this to replace my dying 2010 Samsung R512 i7 and a 2015 Asus Q502 Flip i5 (each having 1TB HDDs). Both are pretty slow after the latest Windows 10 updates.
This laptop, the Asus GL503VD, is supposed to be among the hottest performing in 2017/18, however, it suffers from the exact same performance sucking issues that my old laptops have and actually performs WORSE. It took over 8 hours for the thing to apply updates out of the box and then, even after all were done, it takes 30 seconds to boot to a logon screen and another 15 to get to the desktop. Every other action is greeted by a spinning circle and lag time before a window opens.
My 2015 Asus i5 boots quicker and logs on in about the same amount of time, which was already aggravating me....
The touchpad is annoying in that it forgets that you are two finger scrolling and opens a menu. I did fix this for the most part by going in ans disabling the two finger tap options, but it still isn't as good as my old laptops.
I am going to be returning this.

Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: Sleek, lightweight design.
Cons: Ships with a seagate harddrive that is completely unsuitable for a notebook drive. This 'firecuda' drive uses an 'SMR' platter technology designed for archival/storage drives. It is, by far, the slowest hardrive I have ever encountered. If you buy one of these, plan on upgrading the drive.

Other Thoughts: I am experiencing the exact same issue as Drew F. First 30 days the laptop performed okay, not as good as I expected, but was okay. I assumed the sluggish performance was because I didn't get the SSD. Games played okay for the most part, except yesturday on January 4th, 37 days after I purchased the computer my disk drive started to run at 100% and have very little response time opening up simple tasks like the control panel. I got really upset and decided to do a operating system reset to see if that would solve the issue, but the computer loads at about 1% every 15 minutes while trying to reset. I don't have high hopes for it's original state 'if' the reset works. I will be calling new egg tommorow to see if they will resolve the problem. I have a feeling they will just shove me to Asus to fix my issue, but fingers are crossed. I also have speakers that crack and abseloutly sound horrible. If it had a solid state drive with a normal HDD and better speakers, the laptop is very sleek and overall feels and looks really good. I am a Huge Asus fan, but I'm very disappointed and feel like my money will be wasted. I will update everyone how new egg has delt with my situation once I call on there next business day.
