The Asus Strix GL502VM-FY039T (GL502 Series) 1TB / 32GB is ASUS's 2016 laptop featuring a height x width x depth (in mm): 24 x 390 x 266 ( = 0.94 x 15.35 x 10.47 in) display, the Intel Core i7-6700HQ 4c/8t 4 x 2.6 - 3.5 GHz (Intel Core i7) chipset. At AED 949 in the UAE and ₹23,990 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Asus Strix GL502VM-FY039T excels with its Intel Core i7-6700HQ and NVIDIA GTX 1060 Mobile 6GB VRAM, delivering strong 1080p gaming and creative workload performance even today. With 16GB DDR4 RAM (8GB soldered, 8GB module), multitasking remains smooth. The 64Wh battery lasts roughly 4–5 hours under light use, adequate for short mobility. It’s built for gamers and content creators needing sustained GPU power without upgrading. But thermals are a flaw: under load, the chassis heats up aggressively, throttling performance after 20–30 minutes. Ports are generous, but the 1TB HDD is slow—no SSD. In UAE at AED 949, it’s good value because you’re getting a dedicated 6GB GPU rarely seen at this price. In India at ₹23990, it’s overpriced; newer Ryzen 5 or Intel i5 laptops with SSDs offer better longevity and speed for similar cost. Buy only if you need the GTX 1060 and can tolerate heat and slow storage.
