Pros
Pro Great, colorful display
The 1080p display offers great viewing angles, bright images, and lifelike colors. It covers 90% of the sRGB color gamut.
Pro Very high-quality keyboard
The keyboard is snappy and the keys have a long travel distance which makes typing on this laptop a treat.
Pro Extremely quiet fans
The G752VS has massive vents in the back which allow the fans to efficiently keep the laptop cool. Even the fans themselves are quite cool, never going above a low-volume hum.
Pro Stays consistently cool even when playing resource-heavy games
When playing The Witcher 3 on Ultra settings, the GPU reached a maximum temperature of 81 degrees C, 100 degrees C for the CPU, 33 degrees C for the WASD keys and 43 degrees C for the underside of the laptop.
These are some of the lowest temperatures for gaming laptops.
Pro Easy to upgrade the hardware
By removing just one screw and a panel, you can access the RAM and a 2.5 inch drive bay. Everything else can be accessed by removing just four more screws. This makes it extremely easy to upgrade the hardware for this laptop.
Pro Comfortable trackpad
The large trackpad is extremely comfortable to use. It's very responsive and has full support for Windows gestures.
Pro Upgradable RAM
The ROG G752VS has three empty RAM slots that can be used to upgrade the RAM to 64GB.
Pro Excellent build quality
The case is made from a very durable plastic with a metal finish that does not feel cheap or flimsy to the touch.
Pro Overall good price/quality ratio
At this price, the Eluktronics P650RS offers a lot of features, performance, and quality compared to competitors. Gaming laptops with a GTX 1070 usually cost $100 or more and might not have the same level of build quality or other features found in this laptop.
Pro Excellent gaming performance
Both the GTX 1060 and GTX 1070 versions of this laptop offer excellent performance when gaming. The P650RS consistently hits 80+ FPS in most AAA games at ultra settings. For example, the GTX 1070 version can play Total War: Warhammer at 100FPS on 1080p with ultra settings. While the GTX 1060 version can play Battlefield 4 at 80FPS on ultra settings.
Even the relatively cheaper version of the P650RS with the GTX 1060 can pack a punch.
Pro Quality speakers
The two speakers packed in this laptop are pretty good, especially when compared with previous models. They provide reasonable bass and the mids have both good richness and deepness to them.
Pro Good keyboard
The keyboard is pretty good. It's backlit with programmable colors. The tactile feedback is decent across all keys and the travel length is about the average (1.5mm) for this kind of laptop.
Cons
Con Keyboard backlighting is not customizable
The keyboard red backlight cannot be changed to another colour. It can only be switched off.
Con Speaker placement is not optimal
The speakers are placed on the inside of the hinge which causes the sound to bounce on the lid and sound better on the back of the laptop than on the front, where you will be standing.
Con The touchpad has issues with two-finger use
When trying to scroll up or down by using two fingers there are some synchronization issues with the touchpad.
Con The display should be better for this price
The Eluktronics P650RS uses a IPS display panel which is decent in itself but could and should probably be better for this price point.
Where it lacks specifically is in terms of contrast, colours, and response time. There's also some light bleeding when looking at a completely black screen.
Con Terrible battery life
Even when using this laptop for light activities such as web browsing, watching movies, or editing documents it averages at about three hours of independent use. This was measured at about 40% screen brightness so it would be much lower at a higher brightness.
When it's used for gaming then the average battery life drops to less than two hours of independent use because of the relatively high resource requirements that both the GTX 1060 and GTX 1070 have.
Con Has some issues with heat
Since the cool air is sucked from the bottom of the laptop, the bottom needs to stay above the sitting surface at all times.
But even when this advice is followed, the P650RS still has some issues with overheating. The center and left parts of the keyboard are the most problematic ones. It's not unusual for the keyboard to heat so much as it starts being a bit uncomfortable to use.
Con The speakers are not very loud
Even though they provide good sound, the P650RS-G speakers are not loud at all.
