Choosing between two laptops

[nottheaveragejoe]

Hello, Great day to anyone who’s reading this. I need some help. I am choosing between two laptops so any help would be great.

1) ASUS VivoBook M580VD
2) ASUS ROG GL553VD

Only thing which is keeping me away from buying the ROG one is its low quality speakers.

Please help me to pick one of these. Heat and battery life is important as well.

Thank you.

Heat and battery life will depend on you. The ROG is more powerful, so taken as a whole, will run hotter and not last as long. However, being less powerful, the Vivo, when really pushed hard in gaming will have a harder time competing with the ROG, consequently it'll run harder, hotter, and battery life will be shorter as a result. So depending on how much you use the laptop will determine its lifespan and battery life.

Low quality speakers in comparison to what? It's a laptop. It's severely limited as is for space, and speakers require a certain amount of room to work with. You won't get great sound from any laptop.

Choice? Which ever fits your needs. The ROG will be a better gaming experience on screen and will handle gaming abuse better, but could be entirely wrong for your aesthetics. You have to be able to type on it. If the keyboard is just not comfortable for you, whether buttons are too close or spring is not right, gaming is going to suck.

Speakers are the least concern, you can always Bluetooth an external, like a bullet or Beats etc and get far better audio than either laptop will produce.

So the question becomes, which laptop actually fits you better, in both needs and aesthetics

Well i've been using Asus ROG GL552JX since 2 years now and am quite happy with most of its aspects call it be build quality,Looks,Premium feel,Performance and gaming experience,heat management is excellent.
However sound quality is not upto the mark but that wasnt any hurdle for me as i use gaming headsets so yeahh it gets compromised there lol.
So if you can afford Asus ROG definitely go for it,you wont regret it.
