Title: Great gaming laptop!
Review: The specs are great, itâs more than most gamers will ever need! Fast, responsive, the graphics & QHD screen resolution are beautiful. Built in speaker sound is just ok, you can make adjustments to improve quality or simply connect to a bluetooth speaker to level up your audio expedience. The fans do a good job keeping it cool but it does get very warm when running high performance, not bad though. Personally I spent way too much time researching for the best of the best gaming laptops in this price category and I can confidently say that Iâm really happy with my purchase & selection! Honestly iâd give this ROG Strix an 8 out of 10!

Title: Great mid range choice.
Review: Very good build quality. Great screen 240hz, processor and speedy DDR5 5600 ram. Mid range Rtx 4060 gets the job done and can handle most games well. Spare nvme slot. Can get noisy when it's warms up, but that's to be expected with a gaming laptop. Bios is very limited. Overall very solid choice.

Title: Love This Laptop - But Not Perfect for Everyone
Review: I don't have too much to say about it. It runs about as well as my PC at home, if not better.I've used it to play AAA titles and MMOs in the late evening while on trips out of town, to do work for college, coding & my job. It's a great laptop.A few things to consider. While the numpad that's build into the touchpad is neat at first... it's just a nuisance when your catch your hand on it while gaming & then you're hitting random buttons on accident. Also, the resolution isn't 16:9, it is 16:10. You're going to have issues getting the full screen to be filled for some games & you're going to lose 1-2 inches of screen to black-bars in games such as Elden Ring.However, I feel like the 16:10 resolution provides for a more compact laptop shape. I have a 16:9 laptop & it feels so lopsided to use or carry around. This one feels great. Plus you have more vertical space for say, writing a program in VSCode or the like. So it's a bit of a give & take there.PSA - I'm told ASUS customer service is horrible these days. If you have any issues with your laptop, please be warned you might be best off seeking other routes for repairs. Even if you are in warranty. There's plenty of videos on Youtube about it. Gamers Nexus is the one that alerted me to the potential issue.

Title: Support was unhelpful.
Review: Major stuttering issues. Tried resetting, purging and reinstalling drivers, alternative GPU drivers, all across many games and other software. It persisted with varying levels of intensity (Sometimes it got a little better, sometimes it got way worse). So I tried to contact Asus. I didn't have a problem with the agent. I just wanted to transfer my extended warranty for a product that, at this point with many hours of troubleshooting, I believe is clearly defective. I'm not going to sit down and let Asus just steal 170$ when I just wanted to transfer the extended warranty to a replacement product. I was going to ask for a replacement but I might just ask for a refund so that I can get a non-defective product from a different manufacturer. I am very disappointed.

Title: Solid gaming laptop with a few quirks
Review: Good: Plays everything I have with great performance.Good: Great specs. Does everything I need it to do and will ever do.Good: The screen quality is great.Meh: Not a fan of all the bloatware that comes with this rig.Meh: Had a couple issues at first where the function keys just stopped working. Driver and BIOS updates seemed to fix that.Meh: Battery life is abysmal but Optimus helps with that. Also wasnât expecting this thing to last 8 hours given its primary function and hardware.Meh: I canât figure out how to properly wake up the laptop from sleep mode. Sometimes clicking the mouse works, sometimes pressing a key does the trick, and other times I have to press the power button to awaken it.Unsure: I hear frequent scratchy sounds from the board that almost sound like an old school hard drive on its way to total failure. Google suggests this might be coil whine, but Iâm not really sure.

Title: Love it
Review: Runs hot regardless of what you're doing on it so I added an underneath fan stand but other than that, does whatever it needs too. Functions great. Weight is just light enough for an on board graphics card, battery life is adjustable to what you want it to be set to but I haven't had issues. A little on the high side price wise but you get what you pay for. Definitely not a 3k dollar iCrap even has easily accessible virtual machine if you like to run stuff outside your o.s. set up was as easy as it gets for tech these days.

Title: One of the best Laptops I've ever owned
Review: Just had it only for a few days, and I've been very impressed with it. Excellent speed, a significant amount of ram, and beautiful aesthetics and features. If you want a high end laptop, this is the one to use!Edit: Had for a few months now, I also would recommend a cooling pad, (any cooler works but if you want the best cooling, I suggest a high end cooler to help with this laptopâs cooling). Itâll helps boost fps with a good cooler so I suggest you do that.

Title: Beast
Review: This thing is powerful. Definitely gets hot, so I'd recommend a cooling pad. Performs better than my desktop (3070ti, ryzen 7 3700x). Haven't seen any info on whether or not it has an additional m.2 slot, so I'd like to know that before cracking it open (did so on my 2022 version). Tampering with Armorycrate and power saving settings allows me to get a good 6+ hours of battery life, totally serviceable for school use though I keep the power cord and a battery bank close at hand anyway. Somewhat annoyed by the lack of USB A connectors, there's only 2. There are 2 USB C connectors which is nice, but I don't have anything to leverage those at the moment. I preferred having the ports on the back rather than the sides as they now interfere with the workspace, but understand the sacrifice for cooling. Haven't run into any issues as of yet, a month after purchase. Very satisfied.
