Only a few years ago, powerful 17in gaming notebooks were really only 'laptops? by classification. If you tried to use one on your lap, your legs would suffer third degree burns and your feet would eventually fall off due to restricted blood circulation. But at least the experience would be short lived, because the battery life would be so short. These days, though, a serious 17in gaming laptop is much more worthy of its classification, and ASUS's ROG Strix GL702VT is a case in point.
