    Has everything I want, but how does it compare to helio 300? only difference I see is the gpu.
    1060 outdated? cause I was trying to find same specs as helios 300 2018 but with a 1070 gpu..

    Although Asus has improved cooling from the 503/703 models, I still believe it's not good enough for the specs in the machine. It still looks beautiful though!!

    The 1060 GL504 version might be a better all-around laptop. Has optimus, Lower TDP videocard.

    For whatever reason screen tests between the 1060 and 1070 have had different results.
    The 1060 screen hardwareinfo reviewed seems great.

    The 1070 version notebookcheck reviewed seems dim

    Thing looks beautiful.

    A lot of people might be waiting until the end of the year to see how RTX for mobile pans out.

    I like how Asus has used the feedback from its previous generation. Cinebench r15 1220~ is really good, especially as it's housing a 1070 gtx and the build quality is up there! Windows precision touchpad and boom, they are getting very close to a winning recipe!!!!
