Review: Asus Republic of Gamers GL552VW

Benchmarks: CPU

The Core i7-6700HQ is one of the quickest chips in Intel's latest-generation stable and it holds the GL552VW in good stead. CPU performance is solid, though other laptops do appear to be getting more out of the same processor, so what gives? The Asus machine didn't throttle in any of our CPU benchmarks, meaning heat isn't a problem, but the supporting memory could be a limitation.
