A truly portable gaming powerhouse.
WE’RE BIG FANS of 15-inch laptops. They’re large enough to give you the screen real estate needed to play games without squinting, but not so large (looking at you, 17-inchers) that they require a special gaming laptop backpack to lug around all day. They’re the form factor that lets a portable gaming machine feel portable.
Asus’s ROG Strix GL502VS delivers on portability. Measuring only 1.18 inches (30mm) thick, it’s one of the thinner GTX 1070 laptops we’ve tested, fitting into a new breed of portable pixel-pushers that don’t require massive jet engines to cope with the heat output of mobile graphics chips.
This story is from the August 2017 edition of Maximum PC.

Fun and graphics card games at CES 2025
WE ALL KNEW what was coming at CES: a bunch of graphics cards from AMD and Nvidia. They were pretty much exactly as predicted, albeit with some surprises. AMD managed to botch the launch of its RDNA 4 cards, while Nvidia played 3D chess with the pricing of its new RTX 50 cards.
