Design and Build
The chassis uses an Eclipse Gray finish with black keyboard-deck accents and gaming-style visual details, including Aura lighting effects. The 17-inch format leaves enough room for a full keyboard area. With dimensions of 395x282x23-28 mm and a 2.7 kg weight, this is mainly a desk-first machine, though occasional transport is still realistic.
Display and Audio
The 17.3-inch IPS panel runs at 1920x1080 and 300 Hz with a matte surface. This combination is practical for fast-action games because motion appears smoother and reflections are reduced. The laptop uses a Dolby Atmos speaker setup with two speakers, and headphones remain the better option for focused gaming sessions and stronger positional audio.
Keyboard and Touchpad
The keyboard includes a numeric keypad and is tuned for gaming-friendly control, with dedicated function shortcuts and customizable Aura backlighting. The touchpad is enlarged and supports multi-touch gestures, which helps for day-to-day navigation when a mouse is not connected.
Performance
Performance is led by the 8-core, 16-thread Ryzen 9 5900HX and GeForce RTX 3070 mobile graphics. For this class, the hardware is designed to handle modern games at high settings in Full HD and also supports heavy multitasking. The configuration includes 16 GB dual-channel DDR4 memory and a 1 TB SSD, with upgrade headroom noted for both memory and storage.
Ports and Battery
Physical connectivity includes three USB 3.2 ports, USB Type-C with DisplayPort, HDMI, RJ-45 Ethernet, and a combo audio jack. Wireless connectivity is Wi-Fi 802.11ax with Bluetooth 5.1. The 90 Wh battery is large for a gaming notebook class, but runtime still depends heavily on workload; gaming load will reduce battery life significantly compared with lighter tasks.
Verdict
The ASUS ROG Strix G17 G713QR is aimed at users who prioritize high-refresh Full HD gaming and strong CPU/GPU performance over portability. Its main strengths are the 300 Hz display, high-end hardware, and practical port layout. The key compromise is mobility: it is a larger, heavier system, and this configuration does not include a built-in webcam.
