None of these gaming laptops is portable, so we can’t complain Asus for this.
Display
The Asus ROG G752 comes with a full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels resolution) 17.3 inch display, which produces crisp and colorful images.

The laptop comes with a 3.5 x 4.75 inch touchpad, which is pretty spacious and smooth. Its left and right click buttons are also pretty large. The touchpad has enough space for navigating throughout its larger display. The touchpad responded very well to the multi finger gestures like three fingers swiping and pinch to zoom.
