For about a decade now, a choice that every gamer has come across is choosing either a desktop, a console or a laptop for his/her gaming purposes. The debate about the most superior gaming device is ongoing and certainly there is no end to it. Since, the criteria for selection of a gaming device has always been subjective among the gamers, thus to declare a particular device superior to another is nothing but a ploy by various entities to uplift the sales of a particular device.

There is no doubt that during this decade, there have been times when the consoles have had an edge over the PCs or when PCs have had the edge as compared to consoles or when the desktops have had an upper hand on laptops and when the laptops have had the upper hand on desktops. All this fluctuation in the industry, as well as the tendency of the gamers to switch to a particular gaming device in a certain tenure, is based simply on a solitary factor and that is VALUE.

The year 2016 up till now was a severe battle between desktops and laptops to rule the gaming industry for the year and eventually, we got ourselves a winner. It was ASUS`s brilliance that the laptop industry produced such magnificent value added devices that for the upcoming months ensured laptops` victory over the desktops.

ASUS`s REVOLUTION FOR THE 2016 GAMING INDUSTRY:

ASUS is a name that needs no introduction in the gaming industry. For years, this brand has produced laptops that have given customers implausible value for a relatively low amount as compared to the other brands in the industry.

ASUS has amazed us throughout their lifespan, though this year they have brought us something extraordinary. The headliner for ASUS for the year 2016 is undoubtedly the ASUS ROG STRIX gaming laptop range, which is head and shoulders above the rest of the gaming devices prevailing in the industry at this cost.

Star attraction for ASUS`s ROG STRIX series is the use of built-in Nvidia GeForce GTX graphic cards. ASUS has already launched laptops in the market having the impeccable Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 graphic card. However the cost of these laptops is relatively high and for gamers having a hard time financing their gaming device, it is inopportune.

Therefore, to cater the gamers who need optimal gaming experience and are low on the budget, ASUS brings to them the ASUS ROG STRIX GL 702VM-DB71 and GL702VM-DB74. Both of these devices come with the remarkable Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060, which is one of the hottest introductions in the graphic card industry up till now.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 is definitely a step behind the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 instilled in the previous laptops by ASUS. However, the difference between the graphics of these two Graphic cards is trifling and when you come to look at the cost, a big amount can be saved by investing in Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060.

Both the laptops, ROG STRIX GL702VM-DB71 and DB74 are almost identical to the recent ASUS launch, ROG STRIX GL502VS and introduce the breathtaking Intel Core i7-6700 HQ processor. The processor is coupled with the superlative 6GB DDR5 VRAM that can run any of the highest demanding game without slugging down one bit. Moreover, the laptops also come with additional RAM storage and can extend it up to 32 GB.

Not only are the internal specifications of these laptops grandiloquent but the display is also quite phenomenal. Both the laptops are manufactured with a 17.2 inches FHD display that shows every single fragment of a pixel in the highest quality. The connectivity features also add drastically to make the laptops comprehensive. Both the laptops carry USB Type-C ports as well as HDMI Support.

The only difference between ROG STRIX GL702VM-DB71 and DB74 is that the DB74 version lets you add a 256 GB SSD. This gives the users an advantage to store additional games on the laptop. However, this benefit could also be taken by purchasing an external HDD, which would give you more space at even a lower price. However, the choice is always yours as the external HDD is a liability to carry around, whereas the built-in storage is always feasible.

The ROG STRIX GL702VM-DB71 is expected to be sold at 1399$, whereas the ROG STRIX DB74 is expected to cost around 1599$. At this cost, none of the brands in the industry offer such action packed laptops and this is the Value Addition that ASUS has brought to the gaming industry which seals the deal for laptops to rule the gaming industry for this year.
