GX531 utmärker sig på ett antal nyckelområden. Utöver att vara tilltalande smal med tunn infattning så var kärntemperaturerna svalare vid spelande än vi hade förväntat oss och själva skärmen är en stor förbättring jämfört med skärmen på GX501, som hade väldigt tydlig ghosting. Höljets unika design innebär förstås att det aldrig uppstår några problem med obekvämt varma knappar. Man kan förvänta sig 17 till 45 procent bättre spelprestanda från RTX 2080 Max-Q jämfört med GTX 1080 Max-Q.
Det finns fortfarande mycket rum för förbättring. Skärmens haka är väldigt stor och fläkten låter mer än på konkurrenter som MSI GS65 eller Razer Blade 15. För att få ut maximal prestanda krävs det att man kör datorn i Turbo-läge med fläktarna på maximal effekt eftersom det balanserade läget resulterar i ett prestandatapp på 10 procent. Dessa energi-inställningar behöver ändras genom Armoury Crate-appen eftersom de är separata från Windows vanliga energiprofiler.
Andra funktioner som saknas är RJ-45, SD-kortläsare, tangentspecifik RGB-belysning och Thunderbolt 3, vilket vi anser bör vara standard på spelinriktade flaggskeppsmodeller som kostar över 25.000 kronor. Spelentusiaster kanske föredrar att ha G-Sync istället för Optimus eftersom batteritiden ändå är medelmåttig som bäst trots att grafikbyte finns tillgängligt. Den tunna profilen exkluderar också sekundära lagringsplatser vilket kan bli ett problem för den som har ett stort spelbibliotek.
På grund av bristerna med GX531 rekommenderar vi att man istället tar en titt på Asus ROG GL504-serie. Vi tycker den är bättre balanserad med fastare tangentbordsknappar, ett starkare lock, fler lagringsalternativ, fler portar och en större styrplatta. Den har till och med exakt samma IPS-skärm som GX531. Det är ett tjockare alternativ, men vi tycker den långa listan över praktiska funktioner är väl värt det.
En betydande uppgradering över den äldre GX501 i fråga om prestanda, vikt, tjocklek och utseende. GX531 är Asus tjusigaste spellaptop på 15.6 tum hittills, men den fick offra en del användbara funktioner för att kunna ha en såpass tunn och lätt formfaktor.
