Great Solid Gaming and Work Laptop!
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Hi, if you want to read a review that calm you, this is the review. I waited a month to write this review to see if there was a problem, and so far not. I saw a lot of reviews and they are very exaggerated, in my experience is that you took a laptop that was not handled right or they ordered online and in the trip of the mail, got a lot of hits. I bought it directly on the store, so let;s beggin. I bought this laptop on black friday week, for $579.99 dllrs, but with tax, the total was around $630 dllrs. I have had on eye this laptop, I am a Teacher on elementary school, I oftenly use office software to make work, but I also like to play videogames on freetime, and this sits right for me, and the priceeeee, really good. I'm not the only that is using it, I'm a Teacher in Mexico and the kids are very curious about the new computer that the teacher bring, so too many hands using this laptop, and so far I didn't have a problem. 1. The material: Is plastic, really hard plastic, I always carry this laptop on my briefcase and i'm surprised that the trips to go from class to class or school to school don't mess with it. It's really TUF! 2. The keyboard: If you have hard hammer fingers, be careful! the buttons seems to sink a little bit, so be careful, but if you not, don't worry. The keyboard is really nice, I am writing my thesis and it is smooth to write, is nice that have a numeric pad, because I do a lot of evaluation. Doesn't sound too much like the click gaming keyboards, it is just fine for me. The colors on the keyboards are awesome, there is an armory crate software that let you choose color and dynamics, you can turn it off or put low light on it. 3. The touchpad: Some reviews said that is awful, but it is good, smooth with your fingers, only when you click it sound a lot, but it is good, I have had no problems, and if you are having problems, try to reinstall it. But for me, no problem. Recommendation, use a mouse. 4. The speakers: Very good sound, I was expecting more, but it is good playing. The only thing here is when you are playing with turbo performance on gpu, sound a lot, so it is the only problem, not bi, but if you are demanding person, you don't like it. 5. The graphics: A lot of reviews always complain about the 60 hz on screen, but it is right, I don't know where they came out that this laptop has 120 or 144 hz? The videos and movies that I watch on netflix, youtube, etc. are awesome clean and hd screen, not 4k, but I'm not a fool consumer, and it looks nice. For gaming, very awesome, good and clean graphics, you can use extreme settings and doesn't lag, very good for gaming. Vibrant colors, and it changes when you are working and gaming, very useful. 6. Battery: I always out of home, but I always carry the charger, the battery on a day using it for presentations, videos, microsoft office word, powerpoint, excel, last about 4 hrs, before charging, while playing it last 3 hrs in gpu on performance mode. So when I have freetime in school, I play a while and very good. 7. Proccesor: Really fast, open smooth and quickly my aplications, save really fast my files and open them too very fast, I was concern about the intel i5, because i was looking for an i7, but this is a beast for proccesing! 8. The memory ram: 8gb of ram, I posted a photo showing the ram that is included on this laptop, it is good. But I want it a performance ram, and with the money I have saved I really have the money to upgraded, so I wait it a month, and I Had bought a 16gb Kingston Hyper X, and OMG very fast for proccesing, doesn't lag, and I always have open a lot of windows, don't problem, so if you have the time upgrade the ram. I don't know if this avoid the warranty, I have read the terms, confused of it. 9. The Memory Storage: It has the innovative ssd, the chip PCI-e, very fast, only have 512 gb, the thing is that I have a lot of games so i need more space, and the super advantage is that has a empty ssd slot, so I have bought a WD blue ssd $65 dllrs and install it, so I am very happy, that I can have all my games install it apart from the main ssd. I post a photo of the open laptop, so you can see what it is inside. You are thinking, "This guy bought a laptop to instantly upgraded? What a fool!" But of the money that I had saved on the discount, doesn't hurt at my wallet at all. Other thing if you have low battery, the graphics seems to lag, so check the battery performance. Other thing is that you have to manually install the updates and it is hard working, I hope ASUS solve this issue. So, I hope you have a nice day, I recommend to buy this laptop, on 579.99 dllrs or on 650 dllrs, that are the discounts that I saw after bought it, so grab the specials!

Okay overall, but the monitor broke
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality2 out of 5Value3 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5I bought this laptop a month ago during Black Friday. It ran pretty good, still lagged a little on games but was okay if you played on the lowest settings. The only problem was that the monitor broke only after a month of use (not from any sort of damage only from me merely opening the laptop) Still it can be replaced and I will continue using it because I believe it’s a decent laptop, just disappointed that it was damaged so quickly and easily.

Cheap, but very powerful!
|Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5As for me it's a cheap monster! PC Mark 10 score: 4 746 , 3DMark Time Spy score: 3 542, 3DMark Sky Diver score: 22 454. Converted a 2 hours long 480p DVD video located on a USB 3.0 flash drive which was inserted into a USB 3.0 port to the laptop's SSD in just 11 minutes! Which is 8.64 times faster than doing exactly the same video conversion operation on my previous laptop ASUS k43sd . Cooling system works effectively, not letting the laptop overheat and keeping keyboard always cool. Touch pad can become dirty if your fingers are dirty, but it can be easily cleaned 100% with a wet piece of a paper towel. Keyboard buttons are always clean, no matter what. All ports (3 USB, 1 HDMI, 1 3.5mm audio, 1 LAN, 1 power input) are on the left hand side of the laptop. On the right hand side there is only a Kensington lock port. On the left and right side almost near the corners there are small speakers. Laptop case is made of plastic, but what do you want for $579? Plastic is harder than in other laptops and looks stylish. 5 GHz wifi hotspot gives me a strong headake as soon as I turn it on, so i don't use it anymore. In old laptops you had to enter a few commands in a command promt to enable wifi hotspot, but in this Windows 10 laptop all is done via 2 clicks of mouse buttons. There is a Airplane mode available, which if on turns off all the radios (WiFi and Bluetooth). Specs highlights: FullHD IPS screen, i5-9300h 2.4 GHz that can scale up to 4 GHz during heavy load like video conversion, 512 GB SSD, 8 GB RAM upgradable to 32 GB (4 memory slots!) (i5-9300h processor supports up to 128 GB), entertaining LED backlight for keyboard, numerical pad on a keyboard, Bluetooth (no more usb bluetooth dongles, wasting a usb port!), latest WiFi AC (5 GHz), gigabit LAN, dedicated mid-range videocard made in 2019 with 4 GB of GDDR5 memory (I'm not a gamer, so it's well enough for me), no CD/DVD drive, combined microphone / speakers 3.5mm port, advanced cooling system. Windows 10 works fast and doesn't distract your attention during drivers setup, installing Windows updates and so on, although it requires you to set up a Microsoft account to track you. Sometime ago there were many reports that Windows 10 unexpectedly restarted to update itself. Now it doesn't do like that. It offers you to set up a time period, during which it won't be allowed to restart and update itself. In my experience it didn't restart itself until I click "Restart now" at the Windows update page of the Settings window. So no more unexpected restarts during important events :) NVIDIA added to this laptop its own software, that shows you a list of games, that are compatible with your laptop, so no more headache about game compatibility. This laptop's videocard supports DirectX 12 (not raytracing though). If you want to read, create and edit Microsoft Office documents, I suggest you to install Libre Office. Its interface is almost the same as of Microsoft Office and you can do almost everything that you were able to do in MS Office, but LibreOffice is free. It's not an advertising, I use it by myself and recommend to others. If you aren't a hardcore gamer, but need a powerful, but affordable modern laptop with average screen size (15.6"), than this laptop is definitely for you. Worth the money as for me.

Ignore the naysayers! Excellent Black Friday deal!
|Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Let me just start by saying that I didn't have the highest expectations for this laptop. There were a lot of reviews floating around saying that this laptop was cheaply built. Let me assure you that there is nothing cheap about this laptop. Yes the body isn't 100% aluminum, but the body is actually quite sturdy and attractive. The body itself that houses the keyboard and the parts is aluminum while the top and back covers are made of high quality plastic. I previously owned an Acer Gaming laptop and the build quality on that was garbage in comparison. This is also noticeably much sturdier and better built than the Dell G3 and HP gaming laptops that Best Buy currently has on sale. The parts are easily upgradeable by removing the Philips screws on the bottom cover. Fans are a tad noisy while gaming, but keep the whole system below 70c during gaming. The keyboard is backlit and has a nice feel to it. The only con is the trackpad, but who games with a trackpad anyway? Pick yourself up a DeathAdder Elite for $29 and a Corsair/Steelseries mousepad while you're at Best Buy and you're good to go. The mobile GTX1650 that it sports is on par with a desktop version GTX 970 which is impressive considering it was Nvidia's last gen higher end mainstream desktop card. It isn't as fast as my desktop which uses a GTX 1070, but the GTX1650 is a respectable card. I can run Overwatch maxed without any hiccups and more GPU intensive games such as Far Cry 5 and Witcher 3 at Medium/High settings without any issues. The i5 9300H is also impressive as well and is about the equivalent of an older desktop i7 6700. Still, very impressive at this price point. One thing that was also impressive was the vivid IPS display. Keep in mind that ASUS manufactures excellent IPS gaming monitors. This shines when watching films with vivid colors or nature documentaries. This is surprisingly something that isn't really advertised on here. You can also adjust the color settings to your liking using ASUS' built in program. Either way, you are getting a huge bargain for the price. I highly recommend this laptop for any gamer on a budget. For those who want to play their games on max settings, however, I would recommend the more expensive ASUS offering that has an i7 9750H and a 1660ti for $899.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I bought this laptop to play destiny 2 occasionally on it now since cross save is active. (mainly on PS4) and it handles it pretty well. Now destiny 2 isn't the most intense game but on highest setting, the laptop keeps up. I even connected to an external monitor and played while streaming netflix movie on the lcd screen. No issues. I do recommend buying a 8gb ram to make it 16gig total. The empty slot is there, might as well use it.

- A:Answer No it's not refurbished I called and spoke to a representative over the phone and she said it's brand new With a 1 year warranty. I even went to the store today to check it out and seeing is believing this laptop is absolutely beautiful and a steal for the price. I'm placing my order right now as we speak cause they will sell out quickly, and I certainly don't want to miss out! Remember folks this is a $849.99 laptop plus tax, the quality is excellent and comparing it to Acer, Msi, Hp, it's a beautiful looking laptop with the looks and performance of a $1,000,00 laptop and up. Trust me I come from an It background and this beauty definitely gets 5 stars you will not be disappointed!

Q: QuestionWhy can’t I find this lap top anywhere but at Best Buy?
Asked by Alley.
