ASUS Laptop: Enjoy high-end gaming performance with this Asus Republic of Gamers laptop. It comes with Intel's sixth-generation Core i7 processor and the GeForce GTX1060 GPU for smooth frame rates in the latest high-definition games. This portable Asus Republic of Gamers laptop provides stutter-free, low-latency performance for the latest interactive virtual reality entertainment.

This GL702 really has the hardware and ASUS has good intentions. However, the 3rd fan is not well designed so it heats up fast when you play games at max settings. It hovers around 87C GPU playing 2013 Tomb Raider. But the keyboard is still comfortable to use. And upon boot up you will notice right away some light leaks from the edges of the screen. Although it's just minimal (my unit) it's still annoying sometimes. I wonder why this issue has not been resolved for so many years. Maybe precise/quality production cost is expensive? The black is really not uniform in a dark room. You will notice annoying yellowish light leaks when playing or watching dark scenes/background. I know it's IPS and prone to backlight bleeding but why are there IPS displays without light bleeding just like my Samsung TV IPS. So you are saying that it's a lottery then. Really bad for consumers. It's like just live with it because many users are experiencing bleeding issues. But I will still recommend this laptop for the performance. It's so close to being perfect but I think we are still far from that technology (Slim laptop with good thermal management and Screen with perfect black uniformity). How I wish!
My Best Buy number: 4202595999
Mobile Submission: True
I would recommend this to a friend!

Did you notice any backlight bleeding?
November 14, 2016
you can test it in a dark room. Turn the brightness to full and display a black background Full screen. Please confirm if you see any light leaks from the edges. I also purchased this but it suffers from backlight bleed. Its like a yellowish light leak from the upper edges of the screen. Thanks!

hi
November 18, 2016
can you send me a picture of your backlight bleeding? Try it in a dark room then the brightness is full displaying black background. Im just afraid it will get worse over time just like my ASUS Transformer. I believe the bleed at first was minimal but i can say now its gotten worse like annoying flashlight from the edges of the screen not only affecting black colors.Thanks
