    Gaming Without Limits
    Maximum gaming performance, attentive design, flawless visuals and instant upgrades. ROG GL552 is ready to play.

    Performance for every game, and any content
    With an up to quad-core 6th-generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor and dedicated NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX™ graphics with Microsoft DirectX 12 support, ROG GL552 is made for gaming and primed for creativity. Experience any game or run any application, with the sharper visuals and superior performance you demand.

    High strength, stealth style with new Gray-Metal chassis (Optional)
    ROG GL552 is as attractive as it is strong, with a design aesthetic inspired by the F-22 stealth fighter and intricate Mayan detailing above the beautiful backlit keyboard. With the option of a Gray-Metal or plastic chassis – it's time to choose your weapon.

    A keyboard that commands the game
    ROG GL552's low-profile, easy-touch keys deliver perfect-response 1.8mm travel distance, and the marked WASD key group and dedicated numeric pad enable fast, full control. A solid, one-piece construction keyboard is illuminated by a ROG-red backlight for visibility at all times.

    New USB Type-C port
    The new GL552 features the latest USB 3.1 Type-C port for more convenient connectivity options. The reversible Type-C port ensures a proper connection every time, right-side up, or upside down.

    All the storage and speed you need
    With up to 2TB of hard drive storage and optional up to 256GB M.2 solid-state disk (SSD), GL552 has speed and storage in abundance. Store all you need, and fulfil your desire for speed.

    Easy-access instant upgrades
    Pushing GL552 even further is simple. The slide-off upgrade panel offers instant access, so fit an M.2 SSD, a bigger hard drive or more memory whenever you want.

    Frag fast, frag first
    GameFirst III technology prioritizes the flow of game data across your network. Gaming is smoother, and lag is banished — so your frags are always put first.

    Full HD flair, no glare
    GL552's large 15.6-inch Full HD IPS display has a matte-black finish that eliminates glare for stunning visuals without distraction. And with wide 178-degree viewing angles, you'll enjoy full vivid-color glory from even the most extreme positions.

    Audio excellence with SonicMaster and the unique AudioWizard
    GL552 pumps out rich, crystal-clear high-fidelity audio with exclusive SonicMaster technology, while the accompanying ROG AudioWizard services (serves) up five presets tailor-made for popular game genres — immersing you in game worlds like never before.
