Thanks to a hexa-core processor and GeForce RTX 2080 GPU, the G703GX brings all the current games smoothly to the matte 144-Hz IPS screen. We also like the rest of the equipment: an NVMe SSD, SSHD, 32 GB of RAM, and Thunderbolt 3. If needed, you could still upgrade the working memory and storage media.

Again, NBC delivers top quality review. Looking forward to see the review for Alienware Area 51M as I ordered one.
Best laptop review website ever!
Good review, but whats the point of stress testing CPU and GPU and not giving us the core temperatures? Notebookcheck used to have those before. Unless this is a 'live' review and will keep on updating, which I dont think it is.

Edit: (Sorry for spamming) I'm confused why this machine uses two power bricks with 8750H. Shouldn't one 330W be enough?
Looks great and everything but the price is absolutely unacceptable.

I'm wondering the same thing. Its the one reason I wouldnt buy one.
The RTX 2080 GPU in this gaming laptop is tweaked by ASUS to use up to 200 watt TDP; it's the only gaming laptop with such a powerful mobile GPU that's just 15 watt shy from full desktop RTX 2080 performance. All other gaming laptops have a max 150 watt TDP for their RTX 2080s (AW Area 51m, Clevo/Sager, MSI GT75 Titan). Therefore it needs 2 330 watt power supplies even with the i7-8750H as it has a 45 to 65 watt TDP depending on BIOS. add in screen, lighting, io, wifi, Bluetooth, integrated wireless Xbox controller receiver/transmitter, 4 speakers and all the other stuff to power. You can use it with a single 330 power supply but it will power throttle.
Probably the best GPU utilization but a let down by a cheap weak CPU, i wish they did review with i9 version, im sure it comes close to M51 gaming performance
