Just bought this laptop a few days ago and so far I'm very satisfied!. A few things to mention tho: #1 - Turn on HDR mode or else some of the colors will be wrong when you browse the internet. The Blue's will be Purple and I almost returned the laptop for this very reason, but got lucky and finally figured it out when I turned on HDR. #2 - The colors are very bright and vivid out of the gate, so you'll want to lower all the color settings under 'Intel Command Center'. If you're sensitive to really bright colors, then trust me you'll want to do this. #3 - The screen has a reflection that will be very obvious with a Dark desktop background. You'll want a colorful background such as the Windows 10 light blue default wallpaper to reduce reflection. #4 - It is a dust and fingerprint magnet. You'll want to buy a screen cleaner to clean the laptop after each use to get rid of any dust and fingerprints it leaves behind. Dust is most noticeable around the screen area. #5 - The laptop can get warm and fans will spin at times, but you can adjust this by going into 'MyAsus' and adjust fans to 'Whisper Mode', which will throttle the GPU and fans wont have to work as much. Final Conclusion: Lots of power under the hood and can handle anything you throw at it. Once you get all the settings adjusted, it's absolutely perfect!. Highly recommend buying this laptop at the right price.

The ASUS Q530VJ-i73050 is a excellent choice for those who will be using it for productivity related tasks. Web browsing on the laptop is very fast and performs well when multitasking. I use it occasionally to play games and it can run at high graphics with no problem at all. The only problem while playing is its tendency to overheat and shut down. The battery life is pretty good and can last me the entire day during college season, but it could be better so make sure to have the charger on hand. It's lightweight and I am able to carry it around campus without any problems. I recommend this laptop for people in need of a computer for college because it is very powerful with only a few minor drawbacks, perfect for me and those looking for a capable, well-rounded laptop.

I actually had gone to the store to get a gaming laptop, a Lenovo one specifically, but happened to see this one before being helped by an associate. (I was actually hesitant about the Lenovo because it only had 8GB of RAM, thats not really enough for most things) I didn't expect to like this computer as much as I have due to coming from a macbook pro M1 but its been a very fun computer to use. The keyboard is actually a little better in my opinion than the macbooks, it feels far more clicky which is rare for laptops. I haven't truly stress tested the computer yet but the few games I have tried (Honkai Star Rail) Runs quite well on the machine, which is I think helped by the extra 2GB in the 3050 GTX. Otherwise, the computer is a dream. Battery life is a little...underwhelming. It lasts a few hours but then you need to plug it in, and I was able to get almost 2 days with the machine (About 10-12 hours on battery depending on use). The screen is amazing, and the speakers while facing down seem to be almost as good as some other machines I've used. The only ding I have on the machine is there is an occasional stutter every now and again. It seems to happen everywhere. I haven't been able to find out what is causing it but everything is up to date (Bios, Windows, Graphics Driver). The only thing I can think of is that it could be due to the switching between the dedicated graphics and the Intel.

I've been quite satisfied with its performance so far. As a remote worker and a gamer, I engage in a variety of tasks, including lighter gaming sessions focused on MMOs and Overwatch. Under normal workloads, where I have Excel, Word, Teams, etc. open the GPU temperature hovers around 50-55 degrees Celsius, while during gaming sessions, it can reach temperatures between 65-75 degrees Celsius. These are perfectly acceptable temps for the gpu / cpu, so I have been fine with it. I want to highlight the ProArt Creator Hub that comes with this laptop. I haven't previously used this software, but It provides detailed information about the temperature levels, allowing you to monitor and manage them effectively. It offers features like memory optimization and fan speed control, which helps to enhance the overall performance and maintain a comfortable temperature. To optimize the laptop's cooling, I highly recommend using a lap desk or a similar accessory to ensure proper ventilation and heat dissipation, but that is common knowledge for any laptop. The keyboard on this laptop is responsive and provides a satisfying clicky feel. Throughout the day, I actively participate in video calls and multitask across various applications, and in the evenings, I indulge in gaming sessions lasting around 5-6 hours. Considering its price range, this laptop delivers impressive performance and meets my requirements effectively. Taking everything into account, I would rate it 4 out of 5. It's important to note that while there might be superior options available for specific needs, this laptop is a capable and reasonably priced choice. I recommend it to others seeking a laptop that strikes a balance between performance and affordability.

I'm writing this review exactly a year from the date I bought my laptop. I'm a casual gamer, so the beginner level graphic card fits my needs. The most important thing I was looking for was a good processor and ram. I hate slow laptops. I haven't had an issue. However, the battery life on the laptop isn't the best out there. It does run out of juice after four hours. Another thing is to consider is the black coloring. Make sure to clean off grease from your hands as it'll show.
