Whats Included
- ASUS ROG G501VW-BSI7N25; 4-cell battery; Power adapter
Q: what is the battery capacity this model has?
A: I believe the 4-cell battery w/ 1TB HDD means this only has the 60Whrs battery. The 96Whr configurations do not have an extra HDD, just a single M.2 SSD as the extra space is taken up by the 2.5" HDD is used to accommodate the larger batter. Also the 96Whr is a 6-cell battery.
A: In fact, M.2 SSD are classified into PCI-Express-based and SATA-based SSDs. And i just got the review on G501VW from gaminglaptopsjunky.com, which seems to be reliable. Storage HDD : HGST 1TB HGST HGST HTS541010A7E630 SSD: None M.2 slots: M.2 SATA or PCIe/NVMe 2280 (one) According to the provied storage information, it explicitly indicated that G501VW is compatible with both SATA-type M.2 and PCIE-type M.2 SSD(BTW the latter is more powerful and expensive). Just remember you should pick the 2280 size. (M.2 SSD are classified as 2242, 2260, 2280 in size )
A: The laptop comes with a ethernet dongle to plug into one of the USB ports.
Q: can this play world of warcaft
A: Lol. Yes, in maximum settings, with tribe buffering and shadows on max as well, WoW doesn't take a lot now days
A: Yes, the laptop does have IPS technology.
Q: Does it have a asus official global warranty?
A: You would need to talk to the manufacturer about the coverage of their own warranty. As far as I know, the manufacturer warranty that comes with a product sold by Best Buy will cover service performed in the US. You should have the option to purchase a Geek Squad Protection plan that does offer limited international coverage. Thank you!
Q: VR compatibility? How would this handle consoles such as Rift and Vive?
A: This model unit will be able to handle Oculus Rift and Vive. It meets the requirements to run it.
