Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought for daughter who's going to an IT college for game dev and design so needed high power laptop- so far she is very happy with it - "awesome" I think she said. She said it does not get too hot (yet anyway) like others said -but want to swap up to an ssd (that we already have). She does like the keyboard, and did not see what others thought was ugly or out of date looking. Plays all games she tried on highest settings and said it was "not laggy at all" while smiling. We got a good deal and would recommend at same price (open box -$1159)

Clean off the bloatware, clean up the registry, and this is a great home/office laptop. Doesn't have a DVD player, so get one (for movies and music). Get an external USB 3.0 SSD/HDD for offline storage/backup. Very good computer. Fast enough for most work.

Great speed and excellent graphics for gaming. Decent battery life

It was time to replace my 6 year old ASUS ROG laptop and this should do what I want for another 5-6 years. With 12GB Nvidia video, this unit plays all of my current games and most likely any future games. I read about overheating issues but after a month have not experienced any problems. Some reviews compare this laptop to ones costing $1000 more and feel it falls short, not much of a comparison. Great bang for the buck with excellent expansion capabilities for additional memory and SSD drives.

i use this laptop for all my online gaming (ARK, The Forest, Etc) and have no issues with the laptop bogging down.

I purchased for business use and it handlea multiple apps and programs opened at same time very well. Super fast.

I purchased this for my son hoping it will last him a few years. I really debated between this model and the 15.6" ASUS they had, but decided I could always upgrade the components but not the screen, so I went big. It is surprisingly light for such a large laptop which is nice. Everything this laptop has is pretty awesome. The screen looks phenomenal with the NVIDIA 1070 (which I wanted). Runs great so far, I wish I would have splurged on a SSD drive, but I can always upgrade it so not much of an issue. Battery life is the only reason for the 4 stars. It really does take a pounding given the components so I might try and upgrade that first. Otherwise, I'm happy.

Checked newer, Tigerdirect and multiple others. The specs on this laptop were equal to similar laptops that were priced $200.00 more. I can play any current game on max settings and the red illuminated keyboard and screen logo look sharp. 10/10 would by again.

This is not the 150hz screen version of this laptop. The BBY laptop is only 75 hz but that's still enough for a laptop! It's relatively light for having a full size 1070 in it and the price is great for what you get. I suggest putting an SSD in it

This laptop was for my son mainly for gaming after his junk Dell Alienware system broke after 1 year and 2 months of service.It excels in that department. I have used it some myself and its just lightening fast. Would recommend to a friend.

Addictive, intoxicating power. She manages to run any game with full graphics at insane fps. Its light and practical, and extremely fast, it boots up windows 10 in under 20 seconds (after I installed a NVME PCIe ssd hard drive unit).

I replaced a 2012 Alienware with this laptop and have no regrets. Plays all the latest games at highest quality settings without a hitch. I love the keyboard layout and the speaker placement. Some downsides: Disk is slow. I would recommend getting a cheap SSD and transferring the OS to it. Booting can be very slow otherwise. Screen is only 60mhz. I find this just fine for my needs, and there is an HDMI output where you can hook up an external monitor for higher refresh rates. The left side of the laptop gets hot when you play games. Fortunately I had a cooling pad I used with my Alienware. I'd recommend something similar. The laptop otherwise runs great. I've had no real issues and I've been happily playing AAA games with no problems. For the price I paid, this is a great deal.

Solid laptop, good speeds and does what you want and expect.

Not so portable, but when it comes to gaming... awesome

Fantastic laptop! This Asus - ROG Strix GL702VS 17.3 Laptop is a beast! Fast as lightening and the screen color is amazing! I would recommend this laptop to everyone.

So, after dinner, I meandered to Best Buy in search of gaming keyboard as mine has been dead for some time. The wireless keyboard I have makes me sad every time I look at it. As I'm making my way to the gaming section, I peruse the open box section, and suddenly my eyes meet this wonderful device. Now, a little back story, my gaming rig is old, like ten years old old. I played the Witcher 3 on the lowest possible setting, and my computer couldn't keep up. This is like going from a nokia to a iphone 7, it blew my mind. It's quite, doesn't heat up that much, and the battery life is OK.

Exelent laptop and good price. Works great to me.

Great gaming computer has everything you need ....

I bought this laptop for personal business use. I am not really a gamer but I want a powerful laptop capable of running business applications. Seems like my son is enjoying more the benefit of having an ROG laptop. He said it was pretty fast and the graphics is awesome. He used it with Playstation Now and able to play his PS3 games online with no lag. I would recommend this as an entry level ROG laptop. By the way, I bought M.2 card SSD to upgrade and install Win10 Pro. Blazing fast.

This would have got 5 stars but it gets hot I had to underclock mine which is cool because its powerful so there is some room to work with on that other issue I have is that it is only a 75 hertz display not 120 but that does not matter because G sync works great and display is beautiful one thing though is don't forget this is a laptop so high temps with gaming is expected but I love mine and would recommend this to anyone who needs gaming on the go
