Asus ROG Strix Hero 2 / Scar 2 (GL704GW)
ASUS has equipped the GL704GW with the same 144 Hz display that it used on the GL704GM, which continues to impress us with its low response times and its excellent colour accuracy. The aggressive and industrial case design will not be for everyone, but you would be hard pressed to find a more compact 17-inch gaming laptop that delivers the same performance as the GL704GW does. In short, the ASUS ROG Strix Scar II GL704GW is an excellent gaming laptop with few drawbacks besides its loud fans and high temperatures.
