Whats Included
- ASUS ROG Strix GL553VE DS74
- 4-cell battery
- Power adapter
A: The fan is not noisy – I have not noticed it at all.
Q: Is the keyboard backlit? Thanks.
A: Yes the keyboard is backlit on the Rogue GL553VED and you can change the color as well as highlight different sections of the keyboard.
A: Not sure why folks are saying it will not last more than a month. I've had mine since January 2017 and it's still going strong. Granted I am not an intense gamer but the only issue I've had with this notebook was when I first ordered it the end of last year and discovered the optical drive was defective. Best Buy took unit back and a new one was sent out with my same specs. Replacement received in January 2017 and no problems encountered thus far.
A: This notebook does not play BlueRay unless the drive has been upgraded now by ASUS. I bought my product at the beginning of the year. This was a bit disappointing but it will play non-blueray discs. There are so many other features that I liked so the lack of a BlueRay optical drive didn't prompt me to return this laptop..
Q: How long does the battery last on regular use? Gaming?
A: Regular use it says about 6 hours, I don't browse much on it. It does have a battery saver mode that extends the batt by dimming screen and throttling the CPU. Gaming depends if the game is using Nvidia GPU or the motherboard ,then maybe a good hour and half or 4 respectively. Just depends on settings and what the game requires and if connectivity is needed.
Q: Is this laptop too heavy for day to day use?
A: It depends on what you're used to and what you're doing. Sitting in one spot most of the day, it's perfect. Running around a lot, it might get heavy'ish. I use this primarily for home use. I use my Surface Pro when I have to run around a lot. It's funny how heavy a couple pounds can get.
A: No it is not
