I purchased this laptop to upgrade to a laptop that can run most 64bit operating systems. I recently bought the 2021 model for my wife. One of the reasons I got this Laptop for her was, I presently own a 2019 ASUS ROG gaming laptop myself. I stuck a second NVME 1TB drive and a 16GB stick of RAM into this laptop.
If you get tired of Windows, you can always install your favorite flavor of Linux on these ASUS laptops as they offer the Linux Community, excellent support for drivers.
I gave one star for the camera as this laptop doesn’t have a camera. It DOES have a built-in microphone however. I saw two memory slots underneath when I installed my wifes memory upgrade. So as far as I can tell, there are two slots for ram, so 16GB x 2 = the full supported 32GB of RAM. I set her up with 24GB as that should be more than sufficient.

Was playing a game on my laptop when it randomly crashed to a blue screen (blue screen of death). I’m not sure if something is corrupted or if there’s a problem with windows but after the crash it performed an auto reset. Now the laptop is stuck in a reset loop, installs to 63% resets, rinse and repeat. Tried safe boot/startup, can’t. Tried shift F10 method. Nothing. Don’t know what to do.
Edit: my friend who is very computer savvy fixed my laptop back to its out of the box state. Turns out Windows 11 had crashed and caused the reboot loop. I am changing my review to 5 stars after realizing it was a windows error not the laptop hardware itself. After reinstalling all the proper drivers, it is back up to standard.
The laptop itself runs very nice, I can play 95% of my steam library on max/high graphics and I don’t feel the laptop overheating or slowing down. I always play plugged in. Forza Horizon 4, Tarkov and Elden Ring are the only three games at the moment that I have to lower the resolution on to play at a smooth 60+ fps. But once I hit 60fps the games feel great and play well.
The keyboard feels nice. Occasionally it will not pickup a key that I press while typing, but it doesn’t happen often enough to warrant a low rating. Screen brightness is nice and vibrant, RGB keys look great and can be customized.
Speakers are little bit on the quiet side, but with 3 USB ports and a headphone jack this problem is easily solved.
Would definitely recommend Asus as a brand. My only regret with this laptop is not spending the extra money to get a better model. 9/10

Me ha dado sustos porque me ha fallado en ocasiones con el wifi y pues la batería no dura mucho pero eso lo esperaba pues es una gamer… eso si dura más que otras que conozco y hay juegos que piden requerimientos pequeños y aun así no entiendo como es que se ven o se sienten mal como si no tuviera la capacidad de correr esos juegos… o es algo que aun no le encuentro co.o configurar

Pretty decent laptop for the price. So far, I haven’t had any issues and it play every game I’ve thrown at it. I would recommend it for someone who likes to game but doesn’t need the top of the line model. It works fine.

Ok, so I was unaware that Asus removed webcams from their RoG series, but that’s on me for not checking. This means that I can’t use this laptop for my kid’s classes, for my discord calls or zoom meetings. Aside from that, I had a few minor issues, eg. Bluetooth not turning on, WiFi dropping, that were solved with updates. Ok, now on to gaming; it works amazingly! In DotA2, I can see the grass moving in the wind as I get ganked. In Civilization 6 I can see the fish and crabs on the coast as Barbarians pillage my fishing boats. In Halo 4 I can see the expression on that Elite’s face as he bitch slaps the life out of me. Overall, once you don’t mind the webcam being absent, this laptop is perfect. The battery life so far is perfect and it does not get hot, even after 3 days consecutively of being on; updates and installing so many Gigs of games.

The item showed up perfect condition. The presentation is nice .. opening the box and it raises the laptop out to you. The screen is crisp, and runs most AAA titles at High/Ultra 60+ fps. The RoG series can have a ‘boot up’ noise that may make you jump, you can disable this with armory crate later. For a little laptop, the sound is great coming from dolby encoders, and wifi6 can let you stream right to this laptop from your desktop to play any very intense games. If you can find any thing to complain about, the fans can be a little loud, that is expected on gaming laptops. The chipset drivers also control the ethernet, if you have trouble connecting on Wifi to start, connect first with ethernet and update your chipset drivers.

Definitely recommend upgrading to 16 GB of RAM to get the full usage out of the GPU, keep in mind that the RGB, while customizable, is only limited to 4 zones on the keyboard and each key cannot be changed individually. Also, there are only 3 USB-A ports and 1 USB-C port, so use your ports wisely.

Originally bought this laptop for my wife so we could game together ! It works great and she loves it . We have owned it now for a few months and still loving it . Personally me I think I could’ve had better graphics but someone coming from xbox or playstation to this laptop is a wayyy better experience. Really just need 16gb of ram for nowadays games but I run halo infinite at 30fps WITHOUT CHARGER and I think it looks just fine ! I just know the ram would speed up load times and all. If your like me buy this laptop upgrade the ram and your good to game for next few years !
