I'm watching this on my own GL502. I've had it for like 5 years, and it's still rocking!
Having said that, mine is an updated version (even though it's the same model code), and it has a GTX 1070. I was pretty happy when I got my hands on it.
Yo! Just bought a refurbished one today was wondering what cpu you’re running on yours actually? And how’s the heat for it?
@@TheZero64 it's a 6th Gen i7. Don't have it on me now for the exact code.
I don't think it's ever gotten too hot. But when I had it cleaned, the guy put thermic paste again and recommended me to use one of those fans you put under it.
But generally speaking I've been able to game for a few hours no problem (GTA5 for example) . Never saw slow down due to temperature.
Hi do you still have that laptop? Any mobo issues?
Hit like if you also think he is in the list of best tech reviewers.
compare to a lot he aint a sellout
***** I agree with you :)

How does someone start doing this? Or how do you get tech sent to you to be reviewed?
Great review as usual buddy! You are really cranking these out now. Smooth formula. I like the Orange Accents but the design is kinda chunky.
Dave, your reviews are really something extraordinary in its simplicity and objectivity. tells everything one wants to know, and the video itself looks amazing.
just wow.
I'm literally only watching this because your reviews are so good I could never afford this
Same xD
+Damge Loyi lol
haha yea xD
Sometimes i just like to hear his intro music
+WTFisFTWbackwards Bro haha yea it's catchy
Why are your video's so watchable, relaxing music and nice illustrations Linus could learn from this.
Ikr
This channel should have more views and subscribers!
Great job, Dave! Especially with the 2D animation on the shapes of the product that you review at the end of the video. Awesome!
Finally, have been waiting your review on gl502 for weeks!!!!
Going to get one for my birthday
I wish manufacturers would give you the option to choose accent colors. A good way to attract more buyers.
Jed Capitan the new Alienware 15 does exactly that!
Jed Capitan Could if sworn i saw one on the Asus site with pink accents
For real?
@@razer0072073 late response, but awhile back I was looking to see if they made different color backlight KB's for this, and I was 90% sure I saw a pink one.
loved your review!
purchased my GL502 2 years ago , great gaming laptop.
Dude your whole channel is so chill I love it
dave, can you please review the lenovo yoga 710 (both design/build quality and performance) ?
it seems like a great laptop and a better alternative to the xps13 especially due to its minimal edges on that 14" screen.
Another awesome video my half Malaysian friend XD
He's Malaysian? Thought he was Korean lol
IINM, he did mention this in one of his videos last time
Whoa, I'm half Malaysian too! That's cool!
Cool! I'm TOTAL Malaysian XD
May I know which video specifically? :)
yay finally! been waiting this laptop review ever since it came out. best part it was from your review!
I've watched and liked four of your videos now. I love your videos!!! I appreciate your genuine reviews and superb production quality.
Mr.Dave Lee, if you were to choose a laptop up to 1550 USD for gaming, and editing, which laptop would you use I really need advice please respond ASAP thanks!
Would you recommend this for a college student? I'm going to be using it for video editing and a little bit of gaming. I'm also trying to decide between this and Dell xps 15
I'm in the same predicament. XPS 15 is a little pricey so i'm looking for any other alternatives but it also has a much longer battery life than all other laptops i'm considering.
fabian8o5 I don't have it but I recommend it also if you don't like the orange you could get MSI PE70 7RD it's silver and sleek
I have been waited for this video review for so long. Thank you very much for this awesome video Dave.
this is my current laptop and i love it
RafikiTheTurtle HD Hello. I would like to ask about overheating. Does this laptop do overheat that much? TIA
Daniel Tam there are tendencies in which when you play a particular game for a certain amount of time the laptop could overheat to the point where you wouldn’t want it on your lap. But I find this normal because first it’s a powerful gaming laptop and the only reason why the temperature rises is probably because the settings is set to Ultra
3 months later, how is the laptop?
A Mile Away it’s been a year now actually and it still functions the same way it did when I first got it.
That's awesome! How's it like for editing photos/videos and uploading? (content creation) and how's the battery life?
Hey dave i love ur videos but can u make a video on top 5 budget gtx 970m laptops pls :) thx btw
Number 1 would be this one. And then second would the razor and then 3rd would be Alienware. And then the other ones will do research.
Wtf razer and alienware but their both overpriced
+Jonathan Ng well msi also have 970m laptop..
they are not overpriced really..
Florist u mean the msi gs70 stealth pro
Jonathan Ng no.. alienware and razer.. what the laptop has to offer is way better than asus.. soo yeah.. actually im going to bought strix next month after seeing this review.. at first i wanted to buy gl752vw
Dude, been trying to decide between the Asus and Msi for days.
Thanks for the video.
Exactly what I have been searching for.
You do a great job on your channel!
Finally! A proper review for this beauty! I'm thinking of buying it to replace my old daily driver though. Thanks a lot Dave!
I got excited with this laptop, Until I heard the 3 hour battery life
and no Thunderbolt.
3 hours isnt THAT bad for a gaming laptop
it probably lasts 1hr when you're gaming
Honestly, I own this laptop and if your playing on battery for games, don't. Using it for basic use, 3 hours is fine. Play on plug in. I own this laptop and it's fantastic
+VIKING MOTHROK I wanted a gaming laptop from University and playing games at home. 3 hours will not survive school very well
Good review but I can't justify buying a laptop with a Maxwell GPU (great architecture as it was) a few short months after Pascal launched. Unless you absolutely need it now.
Pascal chips are soon but the new kaby-lake intel chips are coming in december. there's always something right around the corner. heh.
just buy when you need something that fits the budget =)
+Dave Lee that's true, but wouldn't you agree that for a gaming laptop a GPU arch is way more important than a new CPU arch? I'd imagine a ton of people who just bought a gaming PC or laptop might be more than a little bummed... Pascal isn't just another architecture, it's a whole new manufacturing process.

yup definitely. Pascal is a HUGE jump in performance. I think it's one the nicest bump the industry has seen in a while.
+Dave Lee really enjoy your channel man, keep it up. Greetings from South Africa
Good Job Dave, you updated the lighting!
I just ordered this laptop for school and gaming and I have to say, your review on it is very detailed and professional.
so do you thing that this could be a good laptop for a college student that loves gaming? i'm going into architecture, and i have an option to upgrade my system, currently i have a macbook pro 13inch 2012...
caleb hiram what did you buy? I'm thinking of being an architect student..what should i get?
@@annevernadetteibabas835 I still have the laptop and in school runs amazing and isn't very chunky
Should I get this? I live in Singapore which has a hot and humid climate if you didn't know. Since this laptop gets pretty hot I'm scared it might overheat from the climate
Yu Yaoyang nah you'll be fine. It's not like my Samsung Galaxy Note 7 I'm currently still using.
Damn bro I see you like a dangerous life
Yu Yaoyang I don't know whether should i get this laptop or the new razer blade for both gaming and poly
I love you so much! Wow, in just a year, keep up the work, I am sure you can get to 1,000,000 subscribers.
Thank you for including that detail that it's USB C and not Thundnerbolt 3! Great review as always!
Would you recommend I buy it for gaming?
ArmandoIsBack Well, that's kinda what it's for XD
Sans gta v, just cause 3 type
My xmas present this year I think haha. :)
i just got one :)
bennett stone same got mine at at best buy for 899 on sale
swami539 dude same
same
No guys! Don't get it! It's a really bad computer. If you are going to play CSGO the highest fps your going to get is 30, which is really bad for CSGO. It over heats really easily even with a cooling pad. I clean it from dust, 2 days ago but still over heats. I promise you it's really bad
love coming home to a new video from your channel
thanks for watching my stuff =)
love your intro music awesome video man
Yeesh. That's a lot of chassis flex...
I don't understand when people complain about this. You're buying the laptop to use as a computer, not a shield. Who cares if it flexes, it's not like that's going to make your GPU throttle or R/W speeds drop. And if you're talking durability: unless you're literally Edward Scissorhands and you're planning to drop this laptop everywhere, you should probably be more worried about the durability of the electronics inside. Besides, flex isn't necessarily bad. It absorbs shocks better, instead of transferring that energy into vital electronic components.
+Cheewii lol ikr I've been wondering why people complain about even a little flex
It does look ridiculously flimsy though.
what a cool mid budget laptop, I wonder if I would do an Indonesian version review of this laptop, would that be great?
It is great
Awesome review, I don't know why, but I thought you have 500k subs last time i watched your videos!
you should have like 5 million subs!!!
Your reviews are excellent Dave.
no touch screen on a laptop with a full keyboard? FUCK THIS I'M OUT! I GARBAGE! :P jk
i'm getting this beast for 500$~~~~ i can't wait!
Woah what a bargain!!
hahah it was meant to be a joke. fuck if i could find this laptop for 500 lmao i wish i could tho ;w;
Emm Kay got mine for 800
good for you i can't afford that lol.
+TriggerWarning _V3 How?
Gotta say it again Dave, love your reviews!
great review, look forward to the new reviews for more gaming laptops.
The god damn video editing gets me every time. My eyes thank you. Great job as always Dave 👍🏼. I don't even care about gaming laptops but I watch all of your videos because you are awesome and the videos are so well shot a edited.
I know, his editing is so fantastic. I am actually searching for a gaming laptop so these videos are like cocaine to me.
This guy is a great reviewer.. you sir earned a subscriber..
your videos r just so perfectly made
I just bought this laptop a few days ago and it is amazing and I love it, but i just looked it up to see if you had a review of it and you did which was really cool! I got mine for $1,299.99 but it has 12GB instead of 16GB and after watching your review I'm very satisfied buying this laptop :)
thanks dave i just bought this laptop thanks to ur review.. the battery is good for some people who ask.. it get around 5 hour watching youtube with 30% brightness and no backlit
Been waiting for this!! Awesome review as usual Dave!
thanks for watching
Amazing review. The part where you show the animated blue-print-like overview when summarizing your thoughts about the device is epic.
How did you make that? Could you link a tutorial?
after effects. it's just drawn. one line at time =)
Thanks bro. Great Review. I was considering the MSI GS60 but, going for the GL502 :-)
Clean and slick review ... Great work
Love your channel because it's a very good quality :)
This is one of the best video reviews I've ever seen.
finaly been waiting for a reveiw thank you dave
thanks for watching my stuff!
you're welcome . great review as always, getting mine next month :)
Straight forward no nonsense tech video.. You are going to make purchase decisions easier! Thank you..
Best Laptops reviewer on CZcams! Well done Dave.
Another awesome review from none other than the best !
I'm waiting for Zenbook 3 review.. Great Work Dave!
thanks!
So good quality content !! Thank you so much for these infos !
Probably should wait for the 1070 and 1080 counterparts to come out. But awesome review !
great review i purchased laptop cause of you .
as a owner of this laptop i love it.
ive had it for a moth now and battery life is okay when youre not gaming.
great for getting work done as well, as a student it can do every thing i need it to do and more.
Can you take it to college/uni without a charger?
ofc you can, but ppl will be starin for sure, unless you like the attention :^)
Nice review Dave! Already a week since i bought my Asus GL502VT and i'm loving it! No regrets, only if it could be more cooler. Gets Hot easily.
nice! Glad you're enjoying it
You've got sub from me. At this moment you're my favourite tech channel. Peace!
I bought this device from new egg and is still lasting me past a year and a half. I used your review and a bunch of others to make my purchase, and I think it's great. The only problem I have is it feels fragile due to the plastic.
Edit: I got the gtx 1070 Asus gl502vs db71 and I don't know how I remember the whole name.
keep it up bro, love your work. it's more than Awesome.
Man u deserve more subscribers 👍👌
Brilliant review as always!
best tech reviewer ever i really want this for christmas my friend has this and it is very good it runs games very well i really recommend this ( :
THANKS SO MUCH DAVE
Hi, Dave! Thanks for the awesome review as always. Been waiting for your review on this. Hope you'd get to review the 980m version in the future (GL502VY). :)
Mann! u deserve way more subs
Hey Dave, I think you should start adding rating systems to your reviews, especially for better quality/performance laptops
Excellent review as always.
your reviews are awesome
great video, Dave! looking forward to the Gigabyte Aero 14!
Love the intro song! :D
I just pre-ordered the GTX 980m version. Perhaps when that comes out you can review it as it will be a pretty slim (exact same dimensions) laptop carrying at more advanced GPU. Great review, always love your stuff, you're my first stop when it comes to tech stuff haha.
nice. the 980M is a nice step up in performance too. enjoy it!
+Dave Lee Wow, cheers!
Great review, you really should review the MSI gs40!!
Best choose till now am using it thanks for ur recommendation
These videos are so 'Clean'. Pleasantly clean.
Great review as always. :)
Awesome video bro...keep it up
Great review once again
how does this channel go so unnoticed?
nice and brilliant review +Dave . thanks
thanks for watching it =)
Glad I found your channel.
Hey man can you do one on the HP Omen coming out soon? Great video, and can't wait for more content!
Can't wait to get this in may
His voice is so soothing!
I'm now convinced that there might be an issue with it's cooling. All 3 reviews that I've watched shows high temp with the unit. :3
finally !! Nice bro, but is it really that hot and loud? even with ur microphone in the front and exhaust at the back of the laptop?
5/5 stars reviews
Thanks ! Great review, the GL502 looks like a great purchase; and i`m definitely in the market for a gaming laptop that's relatively slim (as opposed to the GTX 980M SLI monsters you see) but it's summer time and that means spending less time playing games; so I can wait till laptop manufacturers refresh their gaming laptop offerings with Nvidia Pascal GPU's now that we have the 1070/1080 desktop GPU's. Don't feel like it's worth buying a laptop now with the old Maxwell GPU's if you can hold out for a few more months.
I had a lenovo y510p i7 and the motherboard died in less than a year of use. And took very good care of it. I even left the keyboard cover that it came with on. so I was looking to get this. thanks for the review video.
Great review about laptop!
great vid... you inspired me to buy the 2016 Razer Blade and it's great... Thanks!
cool! glad you like it =)
very good honeycomb transition at the beginning, you did it yourself?
Awesome review
hey Dave great video but I think giving us the prices for different countries would add more quality to ur videos. For example in Canada this is sold around 2.5k Canadian currency and etc. Not hate just constructive feedback. thx and keep up the food work.
Great videos man, love your content.I need a bit of advice: I'm finishing school next year and I need a powerful machine to do design work and architectural rendering, and my immediate thought was a monolithic laptop that can do that, but experience has taught me otherwise and I'm considering a desktop, probably an Alienware Area 51or x51, then I could probably even get a decent tablet or transforming laptop only for presentations. Thoughts?
3 years late but uhh laptop

i like the tips he gave for us
