QuestionI noticed it’s a pretty thin laptop, Is it possible to replace the internal ss hard drive with a third party internal 1TB ss hard drive?
Asked 6 years ago by Chalupabatman.
- Answer Yes it is possible. I just did it with a 256 nvme drive and the install of windows 10 home. It pulled in the OEM key, so no trying to find that one out. Just make sure the drive is nvme to be safe. So a Samsung evo or pro will work.

QuestionI have recently bought the ASUS ROG GU501GM and downloaded different progams and games since i’ve turned it on. Aparrently everything is running smoothly. However, the battery is lasting less then 2 hours, is this regular or does the battery has problems?
Asked 7 years ago by Polib0tes.
- Answer https://www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-ROG-GU501GM-i7-8750H-GTX-1060-Laptop-Review.307584.0.html Battery Life Battery life is a weak spot. We would chalk this up to the device being gaming-centric in the past, but recent devices like the Aero 15x and GS65 have shown us that competent thin-and-light gaming laptops can still be marathon runners. The GU501GM lasts only 4 hours in our WiFi v1.3 test, which is a far cry from the GS65's 6 hours and the Aero 15x's 8.5 hours. This is partly due to the smaller battery in the GU501GM, which is only 55 Watt-hours. That said, the GU501GM does beat the Zephyrus M by a healthy 76 minute lead in the same test. Under load, the GU501GM only lasts 45 minutes. All said, you'll need to bring the power brick when working/gaming away from home. The device uses Nvidia's Optimus to disable the GTX 1060 under lighter loads.

QuestionWould the display on this be accurate enough for cinematic color grading? Also for color correction on a professional video (i.e. A wedding video)?
Asked 7 years ago by Reg4.
- Answer The Best Buy version of this laptop GU501GM uses a lower quality monitor (120mhz) then the regular GU501 which has a better screen (140mhz refresh and way better color reproduction). But keep in mind that the Best Buy version is lower in price as well. This is ok for light Photoshop but anything crtitical or on a professional level is not recommended. The monitor is only AdobeRGB 57% and sRGB is 87%. It's a fantastic laptop for gaming and media consumption and that's what it's built for.
