What can I say… Just a really great machine! Nothing I’ve thrown at this really phases it. I’ve played WZ 2.0 along with other games, while streaming Spotify off of the web and the only time it gets choppy is if the battery is getting low and I don’t have it charging. The graphics on the laptop monitor, and the graphics on my curved Samsung external monitor are super crisp. I’ve played for a couple hours on this and it gets warm but not nearly as hot as I’d think it would. I bought an adjustable platform that has fans on it and it keeps it pretty cool. Cool design and the lights are fun. I bought this for play and work and I am amazed at how quick this is on work things as well. Its Click, wait for 1-2seconds and loaded. Really happy with this gaming laptop. Also gaming battery lasts for maybe 1.5hrs. But that’s playing an intense WZ 2.0. Playing a game like Fallen Order I get closer to 3hrs. When not gaming the battery doesn’t seem to move at all haha. Would recommend this laptop to everyone.

Pase de una pc de escritorio a una laptop por cuestiones de trabajo. Mi mayor preocupación era dejar la potencia detrás debido al cambio, pero con esta laptop me di cuenta de que me preocupé en vano. Los juegos los desempeña con mucha potencia y el rendimiento no me ha dejado fallado en ningún momento, tomando en cuenta que hago mucho multitasking, eso es algo muy importante. Conecto 2 pantallas en trabajo y en casa, ambas a 2k en casa estoy muy satisfecho. Definitivamente recomendable!

By far the coolest laptop I ever have. The RGB visual effect is awsome and it is perfect for playing game. The design of keystone and numerical keypad is intersting as well. PS: The review is written for a warranty extension from ASUS.

Ppr favor lran las pocas reseñas que tiene el equipo de 1 a 4 estrellas, veo que no soy el único al que sucedió; Tiene falso en el trackpad, de pronto deja de funcionar por varios minutos y repentinamente reacciona de nuevo sin un motivo detectable y fácil de remediar. Reconfiguré todo, desinstalé y reinstalé drivers y no se solucionó. Afortunadamente no tenía intención de usarlo desde un inicio ya que siempre uso mouse, pero si llego a detectar más inconsistencias, la devolveré

For a laptop, this is extremely impressive. The i9 12900H can outperform my previous desktop pretty easily and the RTX 3070 to can handle most 2k gaming without struggling. This laptop comes with performance tuning and RGB adjustment right out of the box. The keyboard is nice, I personally don’t like the number pad and had to disable that function because it’s just to easily activated, having the number pad to a keybind instead would have been perfect though. Additionally, only16gbs of RAM and 1tb of storage in a $2000+ laptop is kind of underwhelming and 32gbs RAM and a 2tb drive for the OS would have been more ideal, but at least they are fully upgradable with and have an extra m.2 slot available assuming you are willing to open up this thing.
I am personally not bothered by the lack of webcam because my phone’s camera is more than good enough to use instead.
The included power brick isn’t very small or light, but don’t see how they could easily make it smaller considering the power this machine requires.
Only 4 USB connections total is also unfortunate and that’s including the tb4 and the displayport capable 3.2 on the back. To make matters worse, there’s also no native displayport, so unless your monitor has an HDMI 2.0 port, you won’t get full use out of it. The tb4 is very handy though and if you are willing to get a tb4 splitter/hub it can add a lot of the ports that are otherwise absent, but all of the decent ones I have found all are more than $100 dollars and require external power just to operate as far as I know.
As far as performance goes though, this thing won’t disappoint, the fan noise is also much more reasonable than I expected. Of course it’s not going to be quiet under higher loads, but it gets quite reasonable performance even when it’s optimized for more quiet operation. I got unlucky and my particular unit unfortunately has some coil wine when under load that is particularly annoying to me, but that’s most likely just due to bad luck rather than a problem with every laptop.
Quick Edit: The coil wine went away after a few days of running the laptop. I mostly got display port alt mode to function through the USB 3.2 the display is 2k 165hz and it runs at that speed with no added latency (the reason why I say almost is that I can’t get the Nvidia control panel to detect the display, but it’s there in windows settings). I also upgraded the RAM to a 32Gb kit of Kingston fury 4800mhz cl38, the new RAM makes the laptop even faster in games that are affected by RAM speed I would recommend this upgrade if you can afford it, a Kingston 2tb pcie gen 4 ssd is also on the way.

My particular job requires the use of many VMs running all at once, so I was really keen on getting a laptop with an i9 processor. Looking in that market, anything with an i9 is easily $2K and onward. I picked this laptop up on the recent Amazon Black Friday deal for $1,649.99 which was an absolute steal! I’m a big fan of the sleek black thin look (which is not common among some of the other gaming laptops like Alienware) along with the option to disable the extra lighting (it looks great with it on). It’s just a personal preference of mine to not have my laptop look like a Christmas tree in a professional work environment. I just threw MW2 on here and it runs maxed out with a solid 60 fps throughout. This truly is an all-in-one package for me in terms of work and play. I went out of my way to upgrade my ram to 64 GB for the purposes of running multiple VMs and it runs fantastically. My only caveat (but this is common now-a-days with these manufactured laptops) is the little amounts of bloatware that was present in the operating system; but that was a quick uninstall. All in all, fantastic product with a great build, I am really glad I pulled the trigger on this purchase.

I bought this as an alternative to my last working Msi gaming laptop. The last 3 Msi laptops were disappointing to say the least, defective when received and never repaired properly or were too fragile transporting to work and back, requiring constant maintenance and lasting 1 to 2 years before going out on me. So I was hoping ASUS could do better and wanted a 15.6 for my regular backpack. I was surprised that once I got the Win 11 OS configured right this little rig proved to be one of the best gaming laptops I ever bought. I have owned 6 or 7 over the years and this one impressed me with it’s reliability and although it looks kind of frail, proved to be pretty rugged so far. The Fed ex box it came in was banged up and there was virtually no foam, or padding of any kind around the inner box with the laptop – I was really surprised the laptop was not damaged. It is very light as well, so it is easy on an old back, but it will run almost any of my games maxed out and I can game with it in my lap without the fans burning me. No camera which is a bummer and the battery life unplugged is short as you would expect with such a powerful laptop, but I think it is an excellent gaming laptop for the casual or serious gamer hands down.
