Why did you pick this product vs others?:I actually looked up what other nerds said worked good for cost and this was the winner. It's pretty great! Thanks, my fellow nerds who also despise building computers themselves!! I've been using it to play Enshrouded!Performance:I've tried multiple games and have zero complaints. This is a surprisingly sturdy laptop. I did not expect it to perform as well as it does. It can get a little hot, so I keep it on a cooled desk when playing demanding games. It's very fast and looks beautiful. I hated myself for spending so much on a laptop at first, but now I have no regrets. It actually works so well I'm migrating to it as my main computer. I haven't turned my desktop on in 3 months now.

I waited a year to submit a review. Bought this last year during prime sale and my son has used it daily since then for gaming and school. Too many hours a day for me to be happy about.... It has turned out to be an excellent laptop with no problems or issues. Brilliant color and has never had issues with any of the many games he plays. He is thrilled with the graphics and storage. Survived the usual bumps and drops back and forth to middle school daily. It was more expensive than I intended to pay but has turned out to be a great purchase and my son loves it.

This laptop exceeded my expectations, i got it mainly for gaming but it has turned into my main device for work, music and gaming and anything i need a computer for. I did upgrade it with 32 gb of ram and 4 extra tb of storage which was very simply by just removing the bottem plate and simply replacing the exsisting ram and adding a nvme drive to the ectra port inside, it plays new triple A titles with no issues and temps stay relatively cool. The fans are a bit loud after a while of gaming but with a set of headphones its not noticable.

My son was in the market for a while. Asus may not be as popular as Dell, HP or Lenovo. But they are as good in quality and durability at fraction of the price. Bought this for solidworks and for a tiny bit more money upgraded the RAM. Works like a charm. It’s also lighter and doesn’t get as hit. They keyboard has a neat unique feel that only Asus makes.

My sister and I were both getting new laptops and my sister chose this one. Right off the bat we noticed how much smaller it was than anticipated. For reference, I previously had a 15inch computer and quickly saw this looked much smaller and I was correct.We measured and it’s approx 13.5 inches with an active screen of about 13inches.This was really important since we needed laptops that would fully utilize the cintiq 16 aspect ratio and laptops of a smaller size usually results in a smaller working area on the tablet.My sister still wanted to try and see if 13 inches would be enough and sadly it was not. It’s a big shame too because the laptop seems very well made. I’ve had an ASUS in the past and it lasted me a while so I trust the manufacturer. The silent fans really ARE very silent. The quietest laptop we’ve ever seen. The logo sound is a bit of a jumpscare when turning on the laptop though (it’s the sound of two blades), but I’m sure there’s a way you can turn that off if you’d like. We didn’t get past the set up since we just wanted to see if it was compatible with the Cintiq.Making this review so that other people know about the incorrect size listing. If you don’t mind getting a laptop that’s three inches smaller than anticipated then this seems like a good choice. If size does in fact matter to you then please look elsewhere. But also keep in mind, this isn’t the only wrong size listing. The Acer 17 laptop I got was in fact 15 inches despite the description. 15 at least uses the full Cintiq work area so I didn’t need to return mine but again it’s weird that you have to assume that what’s listed in the description is going to be off by two to three inches. This is, technically, false advertising.

Incredible laptop for gaming. It’s everything I hoped for and more. I haven’t bought a PC in years and wanted something that would last and was good for gaming and general tasks. The Initial unboxing alone was impressive it screamed quality and thought out into the boxing alone. Upon first turning it on I’m greeted with an array of lights and beautiful sounds. I’m still setting it up but will update when it’s complete.

Great laptop - still a bit of a challenger to move old data and apps to a new pc but that’s not the laptops fault. Plays world of Warcraft on 5G hotspot with no stuttering or jitter. Fast and responsive. Does not run fan constantly either.

This laptop is a beast! Very fast and I am a virtual site Second Life role playing gamer and you need a very good fast working laptop to be on that site. And this baby does it job.
