So, what can we get from that? Well, the ASUS ROG GL503 will come with an Intel Core i7-7700HQ Processor, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB SSHD, and a GTX 1050 4GB DDR5 GPU. So yeah, we’ll probably see the ASUS ROG GL503 replacing GL553 soon which is a thicker laptop but with an almost the same specifications.

It will also come in HERO and SCAR limited edition. The Limited Edition of the ASUS ROG GL503 will launch at a later date and it will get an additional 128GB SSD and 120Hz Refresh Rate panel.

The HERO edition is made for MOBA players and it comes with a dragon scale textured lid & 120Hz monitor with 100% sRGB panel that can deliver the best contrast, and color accuracy while the SCAR edition is designed for first-person shooters and it comes with a 120Hz display with 5ms response time.

Well, that P5,000 difference is really worth it as the limited edition notebooks will pack a better 120Hz Monitor and an additional SSD on top of that SSHD.
