The Asus Strix GL703GM-DS74 (GL703 Series) 1TB / 32GB is ASUS's 2017 laptop featuring a height x width x depth (in mm): 23.9 x 414 x 279.4 ( = 0.94 x 16.3 x 11 in) display, the Intel Core i7-8750H 6c/12t 6 x 2.2 - 4.1 GHz, Coffee Lake-H chipset. At AED 1,399 in the UAE and ₹34,990 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Asus Strix GL703GM-DS74 excels with its Intel Core i7-8750H and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile with 6GB GDDR5 VRAM, delivering strong 1080p gaming and content creation performance. The 16GB DDR4 RAM and 1TB SSD support multitasking and large file loads. Its 74Wh battery lasts up to 5 hours under moderate use, unusual for a gaming laptop. This machine suits professionals running CAD, light video editing, or virtual machines who need reliable GPU power without a workstation price. The weight of 2.87kg and thick chassis make it cumbersome for daily carry. Thermals throttle under sustained load, dropping clock speeds by 15–20% after 30 minutes. In UAE at AED 1399, it’s good value because the GTX 1060 still outperforms newer integrated graphics in budget laptops. In India at ₹34990, it’s overpriced—newer Ryzen 5 or Intel i5 laptops with RTX 3050 offer better efficiency and warranty support at similar cost.
