FX502VM - in search for information

[LinusC]

Hello!

I'm thinking about buying a new gaming laptop and have, at least for now, narrowed it down to these two:


ROG GL552VW

https://www.asus.com/Notebooks/ROG-GL552VW/

FX502VM

https://www.asus.com/Notebooks/FX502VM/

I've read that the GTX1060M graphic card of FX is extremely good which is why I'm considering it. I'm not sure if it's overkill though - I'll mostly use the laptop for WoW, BF and watching movies.*Also, I can't seem to find what kind of screen FX is using. Can I assume it's a TN screen since there's no mention of it being IPS?
Since it's a new model I've only found one review so far, claiming it has heating issues, is noisy and that the screen has a very narrow viewing angle. I'm thus wondering if anyone else has any other information about FX, or any other input?

The GL552 laptop, which has a GTX960M graphic card and an IPS screen, is currently available for 3000SEK (about 300$) less.

Cheers

Hello Linus

As I can see, it is a budget gaming laptop

Except the video card (which is very good, very close to GTX980M, maybe even better), the internals are plain stock quality

the reviews point that there is nothing special about screen, HDD, sound, ETC....

don't expect the panel to be IPS or G-Sync

Did anyone buy this thing?
