Design and Build
The chassis uses a black plastic finish with a gamer-focused style, including angular accents and a segmented lid design. The source notes good panel rigidity and practical matte surfaces that do not highlight fingerprints too much. At 2.85 kg, this model is better suited for desk use than frequent travel.
Display and Audio
The 17.3-inch IPS panel targets gaming comfort with a 144 Hz refresh rate, fast response time, and Full HD resolution. According to the source, color coverage reaches 100% sRGB and brightness is around 300 nits, which is suitable for indoor use. Built-in audio is handled by two speakers, while users who want stronger immersion in games will still prefer a headset.
Keyboard and Input
The keyboard is designed for both gaming and daily typing, with clearly marked WASD keys, full-size layout, and RGB backlighting control. The dedicated hotkeys and numeric keypad help with fast control and data entry. The touchpad supports standard gestures and includes physical click buttons, but most gamers will still use an external mouse.
Performance, Ports, and Battery
With the Core i7-10750H and RTX 2060, this notebook is positioned for demanding games and heavy multitasking. The source also highlights an advanced cooling system with multiple heat pipes and dual fans to keep sustained load under control. Connectivity is practical for a gaming desk setup, and wireless support includes Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0. Battery life is the expected trade-off: around 3.5 hours for lighter media/office use and roughly 1 hour under heavy gaming load.
Verdict
ASUS ROG Strix G17 G712LV is a strong choice for users who want a large 144 Hz gaming screen and reliable RTX 2060-class performance in a 17-inch format. Its main strengths are gaming speed, display fluidity, and overall hardware balance. The key compromises are limited mobility, short battery runtime under load, and the lack of a built-in webcam.
