Q: Based on Asus specs: 17.3-inch Full HD (1920x1080) IPS-level panel, 144Hz, 3ms, 100% sRGB (GU/GV/GW) 17.3-inch Full HD (1920x1080) IPS-level panel 120Hz (GT/GU/GV) 17.3-inch Full HD (1920x1080) IPS-level panel 60Hz (GT) This one is GU, why it is 60Hz?

A: To get the price point down BB often gets manufacturers to trim costs - easiest is to put a cheaper screen in - without changing the model name - hence the confusion. it's usually a $150 - $250 uplift to upgrade if you went in and configured a system from scratch on some sites - so BB looks like you are getting a huge deal, when you are just getting a good deal. so gaming on this model will be VERY different than on a real G731GU

Q: Is this a 60hz display or 144hz??? Please be clear asus .

A: It's 60hz display, I am sitting on this laptop looking at the specs as we speak.

Q: After taking a while doing the research i can assume this item is actually ROG Strix G G731GU. But even in that case why its screen is only 60hz ? ROG Strix series never have 60hz display before. So confusing!!

A: Now that I have the laptop in my hands, I can honestly say it is a 60Hz display, so yeah it's not quite the deal they're painting it as.

Q: Can anyone ask somethiing besides refresh rate? eg: how long can I expect it to run on battery? Is it possible to add a HDD? How about more RAM? Been using only desktops for decades, not much familiar yet with laptops. Thanks

A: Depending on usage, you can expect 3-5 hours of battery life. You can add a 7mm thick 2.5" HDD or SSD. You can upgrade the RAM to a maximum of 2 x 16GB DDR4 2666MHz SODIMM.

Q: Is the second 2.5" storage bay for a regular HD, SSHD or SSD?

A: It can accept any of those formats, but the drive must be 7mm thick. Some SSHDs are 9mm thick, please verify the exact product dimensions of your chosen drive.

Q: I’ve seen this is a 60hz display. Ok clear, but could I please now what is the %RGB and AdobeRGB for this specific model? I plan to use this for video editing (Premiere Pro and After Effects) and I’m concerned of color accuracy. Thank you.

A: this screen is were the price cut is taken it has a 250 nit brightness and only 67% sRGB and 50% aRGB so i would not do things like Premiere and after effects. it is good for gaming and watching movies. it also falls short out doors

Q: Does this have a camera?

A: No camera, but otherwise excellent
