May 2018: A false advertising class-action lawsuit was filed against the manufacturers and marketers of the ASUS ROG Strix GL502VS and GL502VSK laptops. Specifically, plaintiffs claim that the companies misleadingly market the laptops as portable laptops with graphics processors that are suitable for gaming and video editing when, according to the plaintiffs, the laptops have a power defect that causes significant reductions in their performance and causes the batteries to drain and degrade.
