Selling my older ASUS ROG Strix GL503GE. It was my personal laptop and later spent most of its time plugged in running Proxmox. I've since replaced it in my setup and don't have much use for it anymore.

Specs:

Intel Core i7-8750H

NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti 4GB

16GB DDR4

Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD

1920×1080 display

Charger included

Fresh Pop!_OS(24.04) installation

Everything works well to the best of my knowledge. Screen, keyboard, trackpad, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, audio, charging, GPU and remaining ports are functional.

Known issue: One USB-A port is physically damaged and does not work. I've included a close-up photo of it.

Battery reports approximately 62% health, which is expected given the age. I haven't done a full battery-runtime test since the laptop was primarily used plugged in. I also included diagnostic photos for transparency. The SSD passes its SMART short self-test with no errors, has 0 reallocated/uncorrectable sectors, and the GTX 1050 Ti is detected and working under Linux.

It's an older machine with normal cosmetic wear, but still works well and would make a great cheap Linux laptop, basic gaming machine, Proxmox/homelab node, or development machine.

$50 CAD. Just looking to move it along to someone who can use it.
