The Asus ROG G752VY has a large 17.3-inch display, with a resolution of 1920 x 1080p. Our initial tests showed good results, with good viewing angles. Gaming enthusiasts will also love the fact that the display is actually G-Sync enabled, which means there will be no screen tearing while gaming.

Instead of the standard num lock key, the ROG G752VY features a ROG button. Clicking this launches the ROG gaming centre application, which can disable the windows key, or the touchpad, and even overclock the CPU or GPU by 100MHz.

A gaming keyboard is not complete without macro keys and like the last generation G751, this one also features 5 macro keys. Asus has also included a gamecaster button, along with the macro keys, which can be configured to cast the gameplay directly to Twitch, Hitbox, Youtube and more.

The laptop also features a large and responsive touchpad with two physical keys. The touchpad is smooth and supports all windows gestures.

There are two speakers behind the display, mounted on either side of the hinge. They are aided by a subwoofer at the bottom. The sound is quite clear, even at higher volumes, but one may hope for louder volumes.

The Asus ROG G572VY features vapour chamber cooling technology, which Asus claims, does a better job in cooling the CPU and GPU. There are two massive coolers in the laptop, which pump out hot air from the back.
