  1. SamanthaS

    The graphic card wasnt as good as expected but its holding up really good al.ost a year later.. would recommend

  2. LynnW

    I really enjoyed using this laptop for the past 11 months. Unfortunately, the power button or internal power failed today and I have to take it in for repairs. Thankfully it’s still under warranty.

  3. MarieP

    Great buy for the application I am using it for! This is exactually what I a was looking for.

  4. ShavaughnD

    the computer is good and i did by it open box(excellent)…but that being said the computer did come with an almost unnoticeable damage part of the chasis

  5. Mark

    Awesome lapotop display is very bright and vibrant runs every game ive ran on it medium to ultra settings this includes Starfield MCC GTA Mass Effect Microsoft flight sim and so on

  6. crimson

    This is honestly a great laptop, and I can’t complain much. I surpass hundreds of FPS in games, theres fan controls, and so much more. One flaw is it keeps shutting off and turning black every once in a while. Happens usually once a session, but its quick to turn back on.

  7. DavidM

    Runs my games great on highest graphics settings, even newer releases

  8. StefanM

    This is my perfact laptop. having used this device for 1 year so far i can say i am fully pleased with the experience. this laptop handles all tasks thrown at it. the added power options allow to make it more discret or more performance heavy. when running heavy graphics its best to set to a higher power mode to provide more cooling, else she gets hot. she is also a fingerprint magnet but a good wipe with a microfiber cloth cleans her up

  9. EluC

    It’s a great laptop, fast, powerfull and nice, but it make a lot of noise. Also it gets very warm with almost any use,
    I bought it Open Box excelent and It has a big damage to the screen lid. It seems like someone leaned on the top lid and it got sunk. It was disappointing receiving a product like this in this condition, It have should been Open Box Good or Regular instead excelent.

  10. michael

    I enjoy using it. Probably the brightest screen ive had on a laptop. Go ahead and spend the extra $40ish to get another 16 gb of ram when you pick it up. The only thing i dont like is that the vents blow hot air onto the bottom of the bezel because of the way it opens.

  11. PranavR

    It’s an excellent laptop, very light and performance is just top notch. Even though current trend is 4070 this one is just excellent

  12. Josh

    The people at the technology section were great and explained to be things I did not know.

  13. Sparkles

    I’ve had this laptop for a bit now. I would recommend getting a secondary SSD and installing it if you’re going to want to install multiple video games. It does have a spare slot internally. As far as performance it does great. Unplugging and doing minimal tasks, also great. If you’re running games it’s best to have it plugged in because those will drain FAST.

  14. JosueR

    I love it, specially love how slim and slick it is.

  15. Karoisko

    Best seevise great computer easy to accses and so smart disagne very adiranle

  16. Ivan

    Laptop is very powerful. Handles a lot of my work load plus gaming to include Diablo IV. I would highly recommend this laptop.

  17. ShondaW

    Everything about this laptop is great, especially the price. However, if I had one complaint it is that the higher framerate does not work correctly. I don’t mind, I just set it at 60. It runs games smoothly and it does everything I need it to.

  18. Hector

    I had this for over a year and this gaming laptop is lowkey the best. It’s fast and smooth and it has great graphics. It works out so good for me and yea it’s the best

  19. Kareem05

    it’s a really really really really really really cool laptop

  20. Buzrulo

    Super good i love it i really reccomend this laptop

  21. JoshuaJ

    Perfect gaming laptop. I travel for work and use it for business and pleasure ! So amazing I would recommend

  22. Jlaq

    First gaming laptop I had, runs great and good for gaming

  23. LeonRezvani

    Screen Brightness is good. Screen also hurts eyes. Good speed can expand Ram to 40 using a single ddr5 32gb stick. It can run hot and loud under pressure. if doing minimal tasks that are not gaming it doesnt get hot or loud. Maybe when first updating everything. Can easily configure how you want fans to be controlled under Armory Asus App. I opt to have them turn on and lower heat levels so that it stays cooler more consistently. There are some complaints with keyboard lighting flashing in sleep mode. This is user oversight as there is a setting in the Armory App to disable.

  24. Alex

    The best laptop I have ever had, the screen is spectacular, super fast and the battery lasts a long time

  25. Unknown

    Amazing computer! Very fast and the graphics are amazing

  26. Christian

    My mom got me this pc a while ago and its amazing! The 165hz refresh rate is unbelievably smooth. The high specs let me run games on ultra graphics easily.

  27. WilseR

    Bought this computer on may 12, 2023 so far works like a charm

  32. Madison

    This gaming laptop is the best computer I have ever had. It runs games at full graphics and has no problems at all. It runs really smooth and quick.

  33. Gorumina

    Do not buy this if u want to take it somewhere like college. It heats up very badly and the fans are extremely loud just by turning it on and doing nothing. While using it to do basic things like youtube google i burned my fingers. Do not reccomend. Very bad

  34. BakKenN

    I really like best gaming laptop I have had in a very long time

  35. Vash

    I’ve purchased this 2x and plan to buy it again runs everything I do smoothly 10/10 recommended

  36. Ihor

    1. all the hot air from the video card goes directly to the screen 2. very easily soiled material, any touch to the case leaves fingerprints

  37. KristopherP

  41. AndrewP

    good for on the go gaming! would recommend to a friend!

  42. KirstW

    My son loves it. Has enough power for games and architectural drawing program

  43. Eddie

    Runs a little hot but it runs everything in vr including flight simulator and Half life Alyx. Also very thin. Screen is pretty good also.

  44. AndrewB

    This is my first gaming laptop after having a PC for years. for the first 5 months, it was great! After about 9 months of intermittent use, the fans started making noise. I went onto the Asus website, entered my SN, and lo and behold, I’m not covered under warranty. 9 months on a $1200 laptop before I have to go and fix it myself or pay someone.

    They don’t care when it came out of the box for use, they care when it was manufactured, so I’m outside of the warranty time frame.

    I will fix it and keep it running, I just think they should honor their warranty like almost everything else from delivery date, not the date of manufacture.

  45. DanielA

    Love it great gaming laptop and great laptop for engineering work

  46. NickP

    Best purchase, computer is a little monster and works very well.

  47. NxArce
