I purchased a month ago and have had a couple errors come up but thanks to tech support at Microsoft got them handled quickly. I love the turbo boosted fans that are always in ASUS laptops, The Processing speeds and graphics and sound quality are great as well as of yet i cant really find anything bad about the laptop itself Win10 does have some bugs that they still need to fix but overall its a great laptop in my opinion and this is the 2nd ASUS laptop ive purchased in 12yrs an even the old one is still going strong on win7 if that goes to say anything about quality i dont know what does. I have heard some say these newer laptops have a life expectancy of 2-3yrs but with my experience i highly doubt that and will be putting it to the test to see if that rumor is true....if you want a fairly good laptop that can get the job done this is it!!!!

TL:DR Hardcore gaming, not really All around secure machine good for casual gaming and great for business work; YES If you are looking for an all around computer this is it. Its fast, capable, and does all the office functions very well. So, when I use it to create lesson plans, videos, slides its awesome. But you are not here to know how it goes as a working computer, you want to know about games. Well, the 5G with a 5G router awesome speed, it has 6 G capacity but I do not have that router. The cooling excellent, you can play with it on your lap and not feel any real heat but its LOUD! One of my kids commented on that and they always say what they think. The screen is awesome. So speed, ability, resolution is great. If you are looking for a casual gaming machine that will do other things this your computer because here come the foibles. The keyboard is a little flat for typing. The mouse pad regularly gets confused with two fingers on it much more than expected. As you are already aware, no web cam. But besides that its an awesome machine. If you were only gaming, I would recommend build a desktop If you want this for portable gaming get a mouse because the pad sucks. If you want this for an all around high level upgrade to do business and play this is it. Just know, you want a mouse and a web cam, and maybe a keyboard if you type alot. TL:DR Hardcore gaming, not really All around secure machine good for casual gaming and great for business work; YES

when i ordered this laptop there were yet to be any reviews and i could only go off of youtube reviews. this is a very well built (assembled) laptop however aside from the processer there are some big cons to this device. 1- this has a 1660 ti max q which most laptops have but isnt specified here. 2-battery life is very inconsistent. you can web browse on silent mode and get maybe 4-5 hours up time, and in the same day take the laptop off the charger (100%) and shut it down (not to be confused with sleeping) and battery is dead to where it wont boot after 6-8 hours. 3- this display is very color inaccurate. you cant tell when you buy this online but the 144hz display is the lower display config you can get on this laptop and it shows. screen is super blue and can not reproduce colors like purple nor can it separate colors orange/red very well. this is an issue when I'm creating wiring diagrams. there are some great pros though 1- keyboard feels on par or even better than my surface laptop 3 feels which is one of my current favorites. 2- key backlighting is even unlike the g14 3-palmrests are deep enough for your palms to actually rest on, it doesnt feel like your palms are getting cut by the edge of laptop. 4-4800HS is all that and a bag of chips faster than my lenovo w 9750H 5- trackpad actually is great compared to some ultrabooks offerings 6-where display lacks in color it makes up for in nits. 7-programming all kinds of alarm panels and IP systems the I/O on this thing is a welcome sight. no ethernet dongle and i can actually have a mouse receiver plugged in and still have free USB ports so i dont have to break out another dongle if you are fine with the short falls of this device i dont see why you wouldnt enjoy this laptop. if youre fine mostly leaving this thing on a desk and only play games then i think this laptop would be perfect. however this is not a great all around work/play setup as it seems on paper

This computer honestly was not bad. It was fast and did everything I needed. The temperature and battery were the only problems. If I played OSRS I would coast around 76-83C, CS:GO 87C+ on medium Settings (never played more than one or two games because of how hot it would get). Smite would give similar temps to CS:GO on medium settings. I also saw online the issue with the the air vents being blocked off. There’s a YouTube video where someone removed them and got way better thermals. Didn’t want to void the warranty so I left them on however that design characteristic is horrible. The battery also did stop charging on me a couple days into owning it. The first time it happened I rebooted the computer and had no problem but the second time around it would not charge. Keeping it plugged in was the only thing that kept it on. Had to take it back. Once the bugs are worked out this is a great computer.

A nice laptop but it gets hot. The 4800HS is a great processor but I think the laptop is a little small for proper cooling especially with the 1660 ti.
