Amazing bright and vibrant mini led screen! For me this beautiful screen beats oled. The mini led provides outstanding blacks while the 1100 nits makes highlights pop. The RTX 4080 and i9 14th gen cpu provides the power needed to play AAA games at max settings. Pics provided are side by side of the Scar mini led 18 vs the razer 16 oled. You decide

I am having a blast with my Asus Strix 18 2024 mufirst gaming laptop! Yup sir it is and it's a mighty fine beast. I got it open box excellent because at Black Friday 21st sale it was sold out . Not a problem initially and I noticed I got 16. Something K cinebench 3024 and 9.6K on Nero I realized I need to either lower undervolt past 10 or raise or raise it to get 32+ K in cinebench. I will think about doing this later. Then post them online as I am not sure inwon the silicone lottery. Overwall the computer has served me well and I have not started gaming yet still tinkering and setting stuff up! I got monitor to go along with it! So I wanted this for a reason it had all the ports I wanted including a DisplayPort! You couldn't go wrong with this laptop if you can afford it.

Exceptional performance and beautiful, as well the feeling of the entire laptop it’s amazing.

The screen is the seller here, with bright and punchy colors and deep blacks. But the performance is the same or lower than last years laptops.

As a dedicated gamer, i am happy to say that this purchase has got me set for a few years easy. The assembly is AMAZING, no issues with the keyboard, motherboard, display, nor Bluetooth or network issues to mention. The built in LED's are a conversation starter, along with the power and quality, this laptop (ASUS ROG BABAY!!!) is truly worth the price. You have amazing customization and can really personalize the ambiance of your system. Its an amazing feature, and I'm glad i have it. The monitor size makes it truly a desktop replacement in every sense of the phrase. The components are top-tier, and competitive. I have no problems running most games on ultra, or highest settings. Only down side is that you CANT RUN ANY GAMES WHATSOEVER WITHOUT YOUR POWER ADAPTER. The system will pretend to cooperate, open the app, and proceed to run at half speed, lost framerates, etc. on battery. So in short, you just cant game on the battery, period. But most gamers already know this. And when you decide to run the game and hit your hour plus mark or so, you have some serious heat coming out of the fans. Be advised, the air can get hot enough to mandate an underside fan, or additional accessories for temp control OF THE ROOM. I haven't had the system overheat yet, or trigger any internal safeguards, and i run the GPU at ULTIMATE most of the time. For example, an hour into HD2, and the office room gets a bit stuffy, and notably warmer, like 3-4 degrees. So make sure you have an open window. But the convenience is amazing, and you can move this thing anywhere. I have even hit the laptop around enough to wince a bit, and it took it fine, no chips, cuts, lost pixels, or component failure , but a mild scratch (BUT I HAVE NEVER DROPPED IT,. When i say hits, think hits when in non-cushioned bag over shoulder while exiting or entering car, or hitting walls when over shoulder)
