    1 year with my GL502VM (mine is the Kaby-Lake version, which is a little bit more recent), I have to say: your review makes total sense.
    A very good performing laptop, with low battery-life, and runs hot.

    The only thing worth of pointing out is:
    The laptop charger (180W) also runs hot. You may say that is not surprising.
    The thing is, I found out – through Intel Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU), that I had power throttling due to the power adapter getting really hot during the Summer time. Thus, I had to blow air into it, to bring its temperatures down.

    Can this handle watch dogs 2 ?? Like ultra settings cuz if not then it barely it will run the next level games on high all settings that coming near future ! Pls someone reply if you test watch dogs 2 ultra settings

  9. Danny Evans

    Was going to get one but 3 hours battery life? it'd constantly be on charge 24/7

  10. I bought GL502VM too, very powerful beast, but I think switching to PC lately, as I am less moving around.

    dogshit laptop got 25 fps on rust lowest settings possible

    after using this laptop for 2 years, it will get really hot and start thermal throttling, i suggest preparing to change the thermal paste or buying a cooling pad to fix it.
