The Asus Strix GL502VM-FY039T (GL502 Series) 512GB / 16GB 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 699 in the UAE and ₹17,990 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Asus Strix GL502VM-FY039T excels with its Intel Core i7-6700HQ and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile (6GB GDDR5), delivering strong 1080p gaming and creative workload performance despite its 2016 vintage. The 16GB DDR4 RAM (8GB soldered + 8GB module) ensures smooth multitasking, and the 64Wh battery sustains light use for 4–5 hours. It’s built for gamers and content creators who need a portable, dedicated GPU rig without upgrading to modern hardware. Its weakness is thermals: under load, the fan noise spikes and CPU/GPU throttle after 20–25 minutes of sustained use. Storage is a fast 512GB SSD, but only one RAM slot is expandable. In UAE at AED 699, it’s good value because the GTX 1060 still outperforms most integrated graphics today. In India at ₹17990, it’s overpriced—newer Ryzen 5 or Intel i5 laptops with similar GPUs now cost less and run cooler.
