ASUS ROG GL702Z Ryzen Gaming Laptop Review

Synthetic Benchmarks

3DMark Firestrike

Straight away, the GL702Z posts a solid score, and the Ryzen CPU and the RX 580 post nearly identical to the i7-7700HQ and GTX 1060 equipped Chillblast Samurai.

Unigine Superposition 1080p Extreme

The same is true in Unigine, falling just behind the Samurai, but only by a small margin.

PCMark 10

Having an 8-core CPU is a huge advantage on any system, and the GL702Z rockets into the lead here, scoring a fantastic 4418, beating out many highed laptops inthe process.

WPrime 32M and 1024M

However, it’s WPrime that it re-writes the rules, clocking our second fastest time by a huge margin. The fastest time is with the desktop 1800X, so the mobile 1700 scoring so close is simply amazing.

Cinebench R15

The ASUS Zephyrus is one of the fastest and most expensive laptops we’ve ever reviewed, however, the more affordable GL702Z beat the multi-core performance of everything else by almost double!

Handbrake MP4 to MKV Conversion 4K

The same for transcoding a 4K video, boasting an impressive 39 FPS. Clearly, the Ryzen equipped laptop is going to be a strong contender for content creators who need processing power on the go.
