ASUS Gaming ROG Series G53 / G73 notebooks pack the high performance of a desktop PC into a notebook form factor, while maintaining a sharp, precise style desired by today’s gamer. Normally, high performance components inside result in noise, heat and bulkiness outside. By working closely with our engineering teams, we solved these problems by moving the thermal components to the rear. This directs the system noise and heat away from the user and allows the front to be lower. The typing area is gently angled at an optimum of 5°. This added comfort is emphasized by the molded soft touch rubber palm-rest.
