Gaming

A resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, means rich graphics to shoot Zombies or cross the galaxy in detail

Your ASUS 's Intel Core i5-8300H processor means whilst your thumbs may struggle with Call of Duty or Doom your will not. 

The 8 GB RAM combines nicely with the GPU on the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti which hits a 3DMark benchmark score of 7766 , and the 4 cores CPU hit a Passmark benchmark of 9327

You can have the dark arcade experience without tapping blindly thanks to the built in back-lit keyboard. 

It's good for academic research

As a student or researcher in the social or physical sciences, this device provides a good balance of portability (with it's 15.6 inches screen size) and performance so that you're free to roam the labs or libraries with a machine that can competently multi-task your data crunching, "multi-tabbed browsing" and the production of academic content.

Videos for fun

With a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels pixels, you'll have sufficient visual clarity to decide which video sequence will give the impact you're looking for. With 8 GB GB RAM, and a Intel Core i5 CPU, the ROG Strix GL503GE delivers great results.

Music and Audio

Making your first steps in music editing? The ROG Strix GL503GE has what it takes to deliver your audio craft.

Its all about the Beats

With its wide selection of ports the ROG Strix GL503GE sits at the heart of your music production workflow. And with a total storage capacity of 1128 GB hard drive, you’ve got plenty of space to store work in progress

Book keeping

The 15.6 inches screen gives you enough screen-space to wade through columns and rows

Excel, Quicken etc, don't need much power so this option won't up the requirements on processor. 

Your ASUS 's 8 GB RAM will ensure large sheets and accounts wont undermine performance

The numeric keypad keyboard really takes the strain out when entering data.

Regular Stuff / Everyday Tasks

Spreadsheets, presentations and documents, are relatively undemanding, but the Intel Core i5-8300H processor and 8 GB RAM ensures even image laden files won't leave you watching the 'spinning wheel' on the ROG Strix GL503GE

The ROG Strix GL503GE makes surfing the web easy thanks to a reasonable hardware specification and fast, reliable b/g/n/ac WiFi connectivity.

Email demands very little from a laptop. We've taken this into account.

Suits your occasional mobility

Working in the dark

This laptop can be used night or day thanks to the built in back-lit keyboard.

Numeric Key Pad

When you spend all day typing, the quality of keyboard makes a big difference. The ROG Strix GL503GE includes a numeric keypad to simplify the process of entering numbers into spreadsheets. And with a backlit keyboard, you can keep working long after the sun goes down too.
