Overall great performance but the cpu gets hot after playing long period time. The display is very good if you don’t get defective.

Fans Noise & Hot Wind Blows to the Screen

Once you open the lid, the screen is behind the vent. When the fans activate, the vents blow hot winds directly to the screen, making the screen very hot.

This laptop is great for gaming and anything else I've thrown at it. The animatrix display is a hit with family and cafe afficionados as well.

When playing Cyberpunk with HDR turned on, I get a consistent stutter every 2-3 seconds. It is very bad. I tried everything to fix it and updated all my bios etc... still didn't fix it. I also had issues with Destiny 2 HDR. The screen would just flicker in and out of the game over and over crashing the game sometimes. Terrible.
I returned it thinking I got a defective unit. The second one I got had the EXACT SAME issues. I repeat two units had the same issues. Google it, it is a common problem with these laptops. The HDR issues, plastic cheap feeling build, terrible RGB lighting on the keycaps (they look chipped around the edges seriously it is uneven to the eye and hard to describe how cheap these keycaps look) are things I cannot overlook.
Do not buy this laptop. It has serious issues. Buy Razer, the build quality alone is worth it.

THIS PRODUCT IS NOT AS DESCRIBED

This is false advertising. The product does not have the specs that are listed in the "close look" not "specifications" section.
Upon receiving the product, basic computer knowledge will clearly show that this product is not being delivered as advertised.
I contacted Best Buy, who offered no help nor solution.
Disgraceful.

Dear Felix L,
It is really unfortunate to hear that the specifications did not match the device you got from Best Buy. This is definitely not the type of experience we want our customers to have with any ASUS retailer. The website has changed a bit since your review and there seems to no longer be a "close look" section but there is a "Show full Specs" section instead. We do stand behind our product and we continuously strive to improve our products and processes in order to achieve customer service excellence. For more information send us an email at [email protected] and provide the case number "N2305063091-0002" for reference. We’ll do our best to provide a quick resolution to your case. Your feedback is important as it helps with improvements to ASUS Support channels. Thank you for choosing ASUS.

Non intuitive fan control, gpu gets very hot without the fans spinning up, cpu underperforms heavily. Aorus 17h performs way better.
