Review: Asus ROG Strix GL702VM

Benchmarks: CPU

The Asus ROG Strix GL702VM might be the most affordable laptop in our line-up, but it's also the only one not to be outfitted with a Core i7 processor. Instead, the Core i5-6300HQ, sans hyper-threading and with a peak frequency of 3.2GHz, is understandably bottom of the pile in the single- and multi-threaded CPU benchmarks. That isn't to say it's a slow chip, mind, it's just not a Core i7.
