    Pros Screen OLED display Graphics Quiet Idk if its mentioned or not I had to read it from the asus site but this has a quad vented dual fan with asus IceCool Pro for up to 150W Insanely fast Cons (more creature comforts) No face ID Battery life maybe (4 hrs max graphics) but im not sure whats notmal for gaming laptops No RGB or colored backlight keyboard I got this after returning AMD Ryzen 9 ROG. CPU was super fast, but it wouldnt load RS3 for sht. I almost got intel ROG but since i mostly only play RS3 i went with this for the nicer screen. Huge payoff, this cpu is so freaking nice. RS3 is pretty heavy on graphics usage & this will get hot if ran for a long time not as hot as the AMD one but if you have a fan or even just something to set it on so jt gets some airflow underneath it then its totallt fine. Battery life is like 3.5-4hrs playing RS3 on high graphics. I cannot explain how nice this screen is. I understamd why some people might not want a glass looking screen, but IMO going from one to not having one was just underwhelming. Some people complained about the keypad on the right hand side, it took a little to adjust but after like a week no issues. Ill try to post the pictures i took from my iphone of the graphics i was able to get with this CPU. I think this vs the ROG cpu’s just depends what you want out of it. I dont do a ton of games, but that AMD Ryzen 9 ROG couldnt handle RS3 (my previous intel 5 could even load rs3 on low graphics & it couldnt even do that) & hated screen so i decided to go for the creature comforts this computer had vs the intel 9 ROG laptop. The only thing i wish this had that those two do are the Face ID unlock feature & a RGB or at least one color (Blue or green preferably) keyboard backlight. I also have a protective keyboard mat over the keyboard & the backlight is bright enough to show through. I would 100% purchase this again & my wife now wants one too. Oh AND this laptop is GRAY not black, i was a bit confused because the one shown is black online which is what i wouldve preferred. Im not sure if the guy from best buy i talked to made a note or if it was an accident either way I got shipped a black one and i was stoked to have that happy accident!!!

    Fantastic Laptop With Poor Battery Life

    An absolute beast of a laptop. For any creators or gamers, this laptop may be for you. It can handle all the newest games, 3D rendering, video editing, or any of your other needs...as long as it's plugged in. I do think this laptop is fantastic, but the battery life is horrendous, lasting around an hour, and even less if you have any software open. Pros: - CPU/GPU pairing is a beast - A speedy, 1TB SSD - The OLED screen+sRGB accuracy is beautiful - RAM+wifi card are easily upgradable - Easily accessible fan settings Cons: - There's a constant whine from either the CPU or fan...seems to be an issue with this model (but it's not harmful) - The fan can get LOUD - Atrocious battery - You cannot undervolt the CPU

    When only the Best will do - for a modest price!

    This ASUS model is by far the best for the money, regular price or my sale price. It has the 24th best GPU and the 4th best CPU! The screen is incredible showing very minute detail. It will warm up when you push it but I have a BESIGN LS03 laptop stand (Amazon) that elevates my hands about 4" from my lap to prevent my wrists from bending. The stand sits on my Safesleeve that protects my lap. The computer has no restrictions to ventilate and doesn't burn my lap. Setup took some time so I got help from the GeekSquad and had them install the 32MB RAM because Windows 11 consumes about 9MB alone. A few software glitches. I am using dark mode, or you can use light mode, because the Contrast Themes in settings interfered with some websites. The only questions is do you use the computer on battery a lot or plugged in? I rarely need to use it away from home and I do take the brick with me when I do. The charge using common applications only lasts 2-3 hours. When only the best will do for a modest price I can recommend this computer.

    pros: 24 core 13980HX CPU, 3200x2200 OLED with 600 nits, 4070 GPU blows everything away and in high res glory. Nothing to complain about. 16gb and 1tb middling... cons: cranking everything up in a 3d game will last you 30 minutes going from 100 to 20% battery so be warned. Screen VERY flexy, but thats OLED for you. Whole surface is a smudge magnet. Very muted appearance of the chassis but thats nitpicking.

    Powerful & robust laptop for those wanting OLED

    Excellent screen quality you would expect from a OLED screen, proper robust cooling for running a 4070 mobile GPU, and great build quality. Keyboard is enjoyable to type on as well, and the software that comes with the laptop does a great job to enhance your ability to fine tune and control things rather than get in the way or be bloatware. Battery life isn't great but this is not the class of laptop you should buy for extended use away from a power source. Will definitely be a laptop I keep as a daily driver for many many years to come, and hope to keep as a robust machine hanging in there in through next decade even! Find this on sale and be okay with paying more for the stunning OLED screen and you can't go wrong.

    Pros: Fairly good build quality with a metal lid (expected plastic) and even the plastic is pretty solid. The laptop is very powerful while also being fairly quite at the same time. The OLED display is beautiful And finally it is fairly portable at ~4.19 pounds so being a student that is a plus. Cons: The battery life is realistically gonna be around 4-5 hours but I was able to squeeze 5-6 hours out of it by lowering brightness, optimizing for battery, refresh rate to 60, and a few others (time given is for mostly typing and reading documents). Under heavy use, expect like 1-2 hours. The software. I do not know what ASUS is on but I expected to have certain setting changed to optimize for better life, but as soon as I unplugged it did something since the screen went dark for a second or two, then I checked the screen refresh rate, still at 120 hz and the laptop did not change over to battery optimized like I would expect since that is a feature that ASUS has on some if not most of their other laptops, but that is not even the worst part as ASUS advertises a MUX switch but when I went to enable it, it would restart then I realized the Windows hello fingerprint was not working and then when I entered the pin, it pops an error code forcing me to sign into windows to have it reset. I know these a small but I had expected better from a laptop I paid 1900 for and the MUX switch issue may not even be ASUS’s but I wish to have these issues fixed soon.

    It runs great, and feels good. The screen looks amazing. Battery life isnt great, but that is not important to me. After upgrading the ram, I am satisfied with the purchase.

    Been using it for a while. The cooling and performance are, as expected more than sufficient for something of this class. The screen is just *chef's kiss*. But, it's the little details where it feels like a laptop of a lower category, with no GSync, or the weird keyboard colors and a surface that cannot be cleaned to a spotless surface. That along with a little underwhelming battery takes a it notch below excellent for the price.

    I truly Love This product. This is my 2nd Asus Laptop. My first one is still going 12 years, the only thing wrong is windows is outdated and cant take the upgrade. Its a little slower too. But I will never buy anything but Asus. I am on here all the time. I work 2 jobs from home. They do everything I need. And the speed is so great. Could have better battery life. But cant have everything. This laptop is a powerhouse for sure!!

    Quality is great! Battery isn’t super, but the fast charger makes up for it (takes about an hour to charge to 100%. Audio is also clean and the computer runs fast overall. Definitely recommend for gaming or if you’re a college student.

    Great laptop. Gets a little warm when gaming and the dial thing on the trackpad is a bit irritating sometimes, but otherwise fantastic. Especially the screen. Absolutely TERRIBLE battery life, but that's pretty common on high power gaming laptops so I can really complain.
