Powerful Gaming Laptop With Plenty of Resources!
Blazing fast, powerful CPU and graphics card, plenty of RAM and disk space, and so much more! I absolutely love my new laptop! It is fast, easy to setup and get fully updated, and runs games better than my desktop does!I purchased the laptop during Amazon’s Prime day as a little bit of a splurge. My previous laptop was nearly 10 years old and was really showing it’s age, so it was time for a replacement.I will mention a few items that I’m less than pleased with. First is the number pad that overlays on the mouse pad. This is just a bad idea all around. Sometimes I press the Num Lock button on accident and when that happens the mouse pad stops working as a mouse. Plus, when I have a Bluetooth keyboard attached and activate the Num Lock, it actives the one on the mouse pad as well.Second, unlike other laptops of this price range, it only came with Windows 11 Home edition instead of Pro edition. So I had to pay to upgrade it as I prefer the Pro version as I have more control over the configuration of Windows itself.Last, I wish the display was a touchscreen display. But alas, it was not included with this version.But, all-in-all, I am pleased with the performance, quality, and appearance of this laptop. My hope is that this laptop will provide me with years of use and enjoyment! So far, it’s off to a great start!

Nice laptop
Laptop is working great so far, happy with my purchase. The design and RGB lighting is very stylish. I also do not find the fans to be noisy, and are basically silent when doing non-gaming tasks. My only complaint is that the power cable that plugs into the computer is too short; if the power brick sits on the floor the cable isn’t long enough to reach the desk.

I’d recommend picking this up, if you’re thinking about it. I’ve become a fan.
This is a pretty great laptop. I’ve had it for a few months now- though I would recommend running a few benchmarks when you get it. I’ve found a few problems that- had I properly tested things, I likely would have requested a replacement.Namely:For some reason, randomly, the keyboard just… stops accepting key presses. The “M” keys at the top of the keyboard still work, and connected keyboard/peripherals work properly, but for a fairly strange amount of time the keyboard just kinda stops, as if the system ‘disconnects’ from the keyboard. After a period of time (anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes), it works properly again. This can be problematic during intense gaming sessions. More recently- after a LOT of troubleshooting. I had to completely remove the keyboard drivers and install (while using a separate connected keyboard).It also gets pretty hot, Granted it’s a gaming board, so it’s expected- it doesn’t hit the same temps as my previous MSI setup, nor my girl’s Acer. Though it’s a bit higher than comfortable.The keys are also in a bit of a strange configuration, so if you play anything that utilizes the ‘Alt’ key- here’s a tip, using ‘Fn’ + ‘Windows key’ disables the Windows button until you use the shortcut again.Now that I’m done with the few things that have caused discomfort-I can throw ANY game at this and play it at high or Ultra settings (including Borderlands 4, this is before there has been any optimization done with that pile- so where everyone else is frustrated over the fact that they’re stuttering all over the place after an hour, I’m still good- hopefully that whole thing is fixed by the time you pick this up, but if not- you’ll be good)I upgraded my SSD and added a second, so I’m swimming in storage space, so I swap between games often. The reason I bring this up, is the way they’ve setup the keyboard lighting, it’s killer. I’ve never liked RGB, but this changed that. I’ve got a different lighting setup between each game and I have full control over which lights are on/off and which colors are being used in which locations.The weight is a little over what my last rig was, but it’s a much higher spec system, so that’s a trade-off.Oh, and I would sincerely suggest, if you use a PC connected VR headset, you’ll likely need some adapters, this has a great graphics card for VR gaming, but it likely won’t have the connectors you need out the box.I feel like this review sounds more negative than I intended, but honestly, I’m STILL stoked that I have this rig, And in the future, when I upgrade to whatever the future holds, I’ll be keeping this around as long as it’s anywhere remotely as good as it is today.

Excellent for gaming. Performance is as good as you can expect from a high end laptop.

I needed a powerful laptop for engineering. Compared to other gaming laptops, the Asus ROG is more premium and compact, making it more enjoyable to use. So far, no issues.
