ASUS is empowering women one game at a time.

This month is all about women empowerment and the ASUS GL752VW does exactly that with a bit of help from Lara Croft, of course.

This dignified member of the ASUS GL series perfectly captured every inch of Lara Croft’s hardship whilst playing Rise of the Tomb Raider at High settings with V-Sync turned on. With its large 17’3 inch IPS screen, I found myself breathless and in awe of the game’s scenic semi open-world.

As a girl (a very tiny one, if I might add) I found that for a gaming notebook weighing in at around 3kg, it was quite a comfortable travel companion and I could easily take it anywhere with me (and it didn’t complain about my driving once). Though I’m sure wincing at Lara’s expressiveness while fighting off immortal guardians in the lost city of Kitezh isn’t exactly something my hairdresser will find impressive, but it is something to keep in mind when you’re taking on your busy, everyday-woman schedule, because let’s be honest, we live in a world where girls actually do have day jobs. Not to mention, a world where female characters have become the rescuers instead of the damsels in distress.

The Tomb Raider franchise has come a long way: From angular silhouettes to blatant female objectification and finally, successfully rebooting the series into one of gaming’s biggest symbols of female self-empowerment.

The GL752VW helped me witness the detailed humanization of a character that was once objectified beyond repair. Not only was the game a great endeavour for the female gaming community, but the ASUS GL752VW so ideally complimented it and exploited which was, ultimately, a great adventure with Ms. Croft.
