Question 1

Any concerns about cooling? Does it ever get undesirably hot? Based on pictures, it would appear there is only one cooling fan with exhaust on the side. I have an older ASUS ROG style laptop that has dual cooling fans with large exhaust ports on the back. I've squeezed 7 years of life out of this laptop because of what I feel is a serious approach to cooling the hardware by ASUS. I'd like to feel the same about about this model if I purchase it as a replacement.

despiteHello, my name is Brian and I have had many ASUS ROG laptops over the years and simply believe they have and continue to build "Quality" Laptops despite being a little more expensive than comparative models. I still have a 2nd generation intel based Corei7 with the GTX 460 Graphics card running after countless hours of use. Getting back to your question w.r.t. "cooling" and the newer GL753VD,  I can attest that the chassis are comparable and cooling is even better than the past with purpose built plenums that direct air in a much more efficient manner than rear out. The price is decent for this model and even though I gave one, I recently opted for a MSI GT62VR simply because the price was outstanding and the laptop has the NVIDIA GTX 1060 Card which outperforms the 1050. This is my first purchase with MSI and the package isn't that thrilling, despite having an excellent build list with future mod potential. Still, the ASUS is hands down better built. Hope this helps a little in so far as one guys humble opinion is concerned.

RR

Question 2

How's the cooling with this laptop? Does it get warm while gaming? My previous ASUS had 2 fans while this only has the 1..

Accepted Answer

I haven't any problems so far, and I've had it for about 4 or 5 months. On normal settings and no help for the laptop it got to about 70-80 degrees Celsius.  I did buy a desk fan just in case when running settings on ultra, and it stays at about 60-70. And before the fan it was just on a wood desk fan, and the fan has metal mesh. I would say that this is an incredible computer, but it shouldn't be pushed to higher settings until it gets some help.

Question 4

This laptop appears to not have an SSD Drive. Is there a slot to add an SSD drive?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it has an M.2 single unit version slot

Question 5

What's an average battery life?

Accepted Answer

Due to the hardware, like with most gaming laptops, expect about five hours in the lowest demand power saving options. When gaming expect about an hour of battery life, up to two hours if the game isn't too demanding. For overall lifespan, if you run it down to around 20% battery, then don't leave it on the charge past 90-99% battery, expect three to five years of life.
