Never bought a laptop online from here. However I will start buying more. This has been the best laptop I have picked up so far and I will get more in the future. Great quality and fits all my gaming and shop needs.

All games that I played ran smoothly without any sort of trouble. Screen is also amazing with better colours, even though I did not use it. With all of things that I liked, there are some issues aa well. Coil whine is there and it can be clearly heard when in silent mode. Sleep is not working as it should be, sometimes laptop is on when put to sleep only the keyboard is turned off. Also, RAM is occupied 11GB out of 32gb when after laptop is started and no programs are running (I have disabled most of startup applications). However, even with all those, this deserves 5 star since it's performance overcomes them.

First 6 Months: Fantastic. After That? A Mess. The first six months with this laptop were outstanding other than random Bluetooth issues (some of which went away by removing the default McAfee install). I’ve babied it from day one—used it like a desktop, barely moved it. The keyboard feels amazing, the performance was stellar, and it absolutely ran circles around my M2 Mac. It not only looked better but actually ran the software I needed without issue. Then things started getting weird. After picking up an ASUS ROG Strix Scope II keyboard and integrating it with their required Armoury Crate software, the laptop refused to sleep. I tested the keyboard on other machines without any problems—it was clearly this laptop. ASUS support had me reimage the system, but the issue came back immediately after setup. Eventually, they just stopped responding. Only the combination of this laptop and their keyboard caused the issue, and ASUS ghosted me. A couple of months ago, I went to use the webcam and found it no longer functional—distorted and glitchy. It was still under warranty, but after an hour trying to get support , I was never able to navigate their multiple support portals they looped me through. I gave up. More recently, the built-in keyboard randomly stops working and only a full reboot fixes it. Meanwhile, the speakers now emit a constant audible hiss when idle. Between these hardware issues and the performance hit from Armoury Crate, I’m seeing increased boot times, crashes during shutdown, and a generally clunky experience. Out of the box, this laptop felt like a better experience than my Mac. But it's a quality nightmare. Everything falling apart—and ASUS offering essentially no support—I can’t recommend it to anyone.

The computer itself is great, but it keeps overheating and shutting down. It has been doing this since day one. We tried multiple ways to stop this but no luck. Too expensive to act like this…

I don't have too much to say about it. It runs about as well as my PC at home, if not better. I've used it to play AAA titles and MMOs in the late evening while on trips out of town, to do work for college, coding & my job. It's a great laptop. A few things to consider. While the numpad that's build into the touchpad is neat at first... it's just a nuisance when your catch your hand on it while gaming & then you're hitting random buttons on accident. Also, the resolution isn't 16:9, it is 16:10. You're going to have issues getting the full screen to be filled for some games & you're going to lose 1-2 inches of screen to black-bars in games such as Elden Ring. However, I feel like the 16:10 resolution provides for a more compact laptop shape. I have a 16:9 laptop & it feels so lopsided to use or carry around. This one feels great. Plus you have more vertical space for say, writing a program in VSCode or the like. So it's a bit of a give & take there. PSA - I'm told ASUS customer service is horrible these days. If you have any issues with your laptop, please be warned you might be best off seeking other routes for repairs. Even if you are in warranty. There's plenty of videos on Youtube about it. Gamers Nexus is the one that alerted me to the potential issue.

La vengo usando hace un par de años ya. Es una maquina sumamente estable, potente, bastante silenciosa. Como programador me viene de 10, no la apago jamás, es el Renault 12 de las notebooks

This thing is powerful. Definitely gets hot, so I'd recommend a cooling pad. Performs better than my desktop (3070ti, ryzen 7 3700x). Haven't seen any info on whether or not it has an additional m.2 slot, so I'd like to know that before cracking it open (did so on my 2022 version). Tampering with Armorycrate and power saving settings allows me to get a good 6+ hours of battery life, totally serviceable for school use though I keep the power cord and a battery bank close at hand anyway. Somewhat annoyed by the lack of USB A connectors, there's only 2. There are 2 USB C connectors which is nice, but I don't have anything to leverage those at the moment. I preferred having the ports on the back rather than the sides as they now interfere with the workspace, but understand the sacrifice for cooling. Haven't run into any issues as of yet, a month after purchase. Very satisfied.

Anteriormente tenia una PC de escritorio Ryzen 5600x y RTX 3050 y en definitiva esta laptop corre juegos triple A en QHD que incluso es un poco mas alto que 1440p y los corre en graficos ultra y altos por encima de los entre 60 - 70 fps. Y si se corren en Full HD 1080p, corren a una locura mucho mas alta. La verdad una increible laptop en comparación a mi pc anterior, lo único que no me gusta, es que incluso en modo silencioso la laptop tiene un pequeño pitido o sonido extraño que hace, no se si serán los ventiladores o lo sé, pero es un poco desagradable, bueno para mi que hago grabaciones de voz en off y necesito sonido impecable, pero para una persona normal es un ruido casi imperceptible. De resto todo bien, por cierto no se si ese ruido será algo normal o es un problema que daba prestarle atención, si alguien sabe de eso, seria bueno escuchar su comentario.

Wonderful and Powerful Laptop.
