Sport a gaming and sports laptop in eSports with the\u00a0Asus ROG Strix G17 G713IC-HX011\u00a0or Asus ROG G713IC-HX011 from\u00a0Asus\u00a0.\u00a0This great team offers performance, power and a design that will not go unnoticed by anyone with its RGB LED light bar.<\/p>\n

This is the Asus ROG Strix G17 G713IC-HX011<\/h3>\n

The Asus ROG Strix G17 G713IC-HX011 or Asus ROG G713IC-HX011 is a\u00a0gaming laptop that stands out,\u00a0apart from its hardware features and performance,\u00a0for its great aesthetics and design.<\/p>\n

In fact,\u00a0you can find this model in different colors,\u00a0such as Original Black or Eclipse Gray, which we are talking about today, but in all of them you can enjoy a chassis that is up to 5% smaller than in other generations.\u00a0Plus,\u00a0it comes with subtle cutouts and icons to add even more personality to the exterior.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One thing that will catch everyone’s eye, though, is the logo, which\u00a0glows backlit thanks to Aura Sync,\u00a0along with the keyboard itself and the wraparound light bar.\u00a0This bar, in turn, is RGB and makes the glow it casts more even.\u00a0Thus, it will be an added extra to any environment in which it is found and will provide a very personal style to your own gaming ecosystem.<\/p>\n

This sporty appearance that this laptop boasts is given, in part, by its aluminum lid with a textured base, because it combines the strength and durability of a premium material with a modern look.\u00a0Besides, as we say,\u00a0it is capable of withstanding drops or shocks,\u00a0while reducing the screen frame for a better viewing experience.<\/p>\n

It also\u00a0comes with plastic palm rests\u00a0that help keep them cool when gaming is more intense or we’re in the middle of a marathon, as well as making it easier to grip while on the go, and generally promoting more comfortable use of the computer.<\/p>\n

Since\u00a0the size of this laptop is 17\u201d, its chassis is 5% smaller,\u00a0which makes it more portable and slimmer to make it easier to play wherever you want.\u00a0Therefore, the\u00a0screen-to-body ratio is 85% with super thin edges,\u00a0but with a touchpad, in turn, larger, to make it more comfortable for you to play or navigate with precision.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Performance and speed<\/h3>\n

The Asus ROG Strix G17 G713IC-HX011 is\u00a0designed to perform with the latest games.\u00a0To do this, it comes built with an\u00a0NVIDIA GeForce RTX \u2122 3050 graphics\u00a0with which we will enjoy faster and smoother frames, in addition to a\u00a0processor with overclocking capacity, AMD Ryzen \u2122 7 4800H CPU.\u00a0This processor will allow us to execute heavy tasks such as design, without breaking a sweat.<\/p>\n

In addition, it is also complemented by a\u00a0DDR4-3200 RAM of up to 32 GB\u00a0that offers high performance, not only for gaming, but also for streaming, watching videos or whatever you want, along with\u00a01 TB of NVMe SSD storage.\u00a0to store your important files and speed up load times.<\/p>\n

Added to this is its\u00a0high-precision screen with its 144 Hz and 3 ms panel\u00a0that will guarantee you can play at tournament speed.\u00a0Thanks to the fact that it has a high refresh rate and that it has\u00a0Adaptive-Sync,\u00a0you will not have to worry about graphic defects and you will be able to concentrate on your game.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Prepared to comply in every way<\/h3>\n

Although all good gaming equipment needs cooling according to its demands.\u00a0Therefore, the Asus ROG Strix G17 G713IC-HX011 comes with a cooling system consisting\u00a0of 84-blade Arc Flow fans,\u00a0which move air without being so noisy, as well as four heat sinks to effectively remove heat.<\/p>\n

Finally, we can’t forget the sound that, although it may not seem like it, is also a point that many players give importance to, since the better it is, the more immersive the gaming experience will be.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Therefore, we have to mention its\u00a0Twin Smart Amp speakers,\u00a0which serve to maximize the sound and make it clearer, since they project it directly towards you.\u00a0In your headphones, in addition, you will enjoy a\u00a0virtual surround sound of 5.1.2 channels with Dolby Atmos technology\u00a0plus its two-way noise cancellation by AI.\u00a0Thus, the immersion in your games will be complete and, as you may have seen, it is presented as a very interesting laptop for all those players who want to give the best of themselves.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n

Asus ROG Strix G17 is very good value for money.\u00a0It is quite powerful and performs very well,\u00a0so it works perfectly as a gaming laptop, apart from the fact that you can also use it for other demanding tasks such as creative ones.\u00a0In addition,\u00a0it has a very nice and aesthetic design\u00a0thanks to the combination of the chassis with the backlit elements, logo, keyboard and bottom bar, and it has a\u00a0good screen quality.<\/p>\n

As negative points,\u00a0two main ones can be pointed out: that\u00a0it gets quite hot when required,\u00a0something that also happens with other equipment, and that\u00a0light leaks can be detected in some areas of the screen.<\/p>\n
