We’ve already seen Villman and Complink put up their posts announcing pre-orders for the G703, GX501 and GM501 and it made us wonder why ASUS ROG has not announced any availability on their official facebook page yet.
Our wonder was cut short, though, as ASUS today unveiled a post that shows their Top 3 8th gen equipped laptops with a huge Pre-order sign. While the post didn’t reveal the arrival of the dates or the final prices of the G703 (we have the pricing of the GX501 Zephyrus and GM501 Zephyrus M HERE) – we do have something to share!
But first up, here’s the poster posted on ASUS ROG Page announcing the pre-order.
Now, here’s another image that ASUS ROG posted just a day before.
If you can see and if you’re thinking the same as us – You’re correct! The theme and title of both posts is the same. At first, we did have our doubts and just thought that the pre-order will happen on May 11-13 so ASUS used the same theme but if that was the reason – then why were the resellers already taking pre-orders for the 3 laptops way before ASUS’ post and why does ASUS’ actual post not contain specific details on the pre-order on their post? The general practice is that brands announce a pre-order period and then a claim period. Instead, the post reads that there will be an exclusive promo for 1050ti laptops and above during said event. This now leads us to thinking that the pre-order is actually already available via the stores and that they will be made available for pick-up on May 11-13, 2018.
So, are you getting one?
