Hello guys
Im planning to buy a ROG laptop from Asus, there are several reasons and recommandations why I choose Asus, hopefully they are true.
Now I have a small dilema, there are two models GL552JX or GL552VW, the price is almost the same in my country.
Some HW comparison between those two is: laptopmedia.com/highlights/weve-got-the-new-asus-gl552vw-and-heres-what-to-expect-from-this-greatly-overhauled-gaming-notebook/
Yeah GL552JX is a bit older, ok GTX950M only an i7, neverthless I will not play any hardcore games, only something like Dota, League of legends, Diablo, maybe Overwatch and Heroes of storm.
I dont mind playing on lower resol. 1300x700.
Now the JX comes also with a Win license, and the VW without OS, but thats not a big deal.
Im planning to buy the laptop with a 5 year warranty extension, so Im covered.
I read that there are some issue with the JX's display, but also I dont want to have ultra powerfull GPU/CPU can cause minor overheating.
Im planning to use the i7 for some work Vmware virtualisation + will extend the RAM to at least 16GB + SSD M.2
Now here is the second issue the 552JX is stock, the 552VW is not avaiable Im already waiting for it 5 weeks,
So i would like to ask should I go for the 552VW ( meaning undefined waiting time), or take the 552JX which over decent power.
Thank you
Martin
