The Asus ROG GL552J comes with nice textures on the top lid with Asus logo that lights up when the notebook is switched on. This notebook also comes with red coloured backlit keyboard with circuit type texture around the keyboard (check image below).
The GL552J like other ROG looks awesome when in use and specially in complete dark environments. This notebook sports a 15.6 inch screen with full HD resolution – 1920 x 1080p.

The 4 Cells 48Whrs battery will give up to 3.5 hours of normal usage time (definitely not when playing games).
GL552J Performance
The GL552J is powerful and smooth in general. The screen with 1080p resolution looks much better and even the viewing angles are pretty good. I ran the Nova Bench application and got the score of 992.
Since this notebook is specially made for gaming I tried the FarCry 4. The game played very well in full HD resolution. The graphics quality was very good, game was playable, however not really buttery smooth but decent enough in FHD resolution.
Do check the gaming action in the video review listed below.
The notebook battery will last for up to 3 hours with normal usage, but if you are playing high end games it is better to keep the power source connected. Well even without the power source, on a full charge you should be able to get up to 1 hours of battery backup.
Verdict
Here is another Asus ROG notebook model GL552J specially meant for gamers. If you are more into gaming and looking for a portable option, this is a good one, though it does come for a price.
Asus ROG GL552J is available for ₹74,999.
