ASUS - 17.3" Gaming Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 - 512GB Solid State Drive - Gunmetal

I purchased this as a portable replacement for an aging custom i-5 gaming desktop. Pros: Solid laptop gaming performance, great display, comfortable and nice looking RGB keyboard, and lots of connectivity ports. Cons: SSD is only 512GB, 16GB memory, and very loud fan - all of these are expected and may or may not bother you. The performance for games like Call of Duty Black Ops and Apex Legends was surprisingly smooth, especially when using the native 17.3" display. Overall: I would recommend this to anyone looking to get an affordable gaming laptop, so long as you don't expect it to perform as fast as a desktop with similar specifications. Gaming laptops typically run 10-30% slower than desktops because of heat dissipation concerns. That said, you should see solid performance, and a good set of headphones should take care of the exhaust fan noise. Have fun and game on!!!

My first gaming laptop. Had it for a month now and it just been great. The rtx 2060 keeps frame rates high on high setting for my games. It is kinda loud but I put on headphones anyways. Screen is fantastic with the 144hz refresh rate. It checked all the boxes that I wanted in a gaming laptop.

With a GeForce RTX 2060 I can play any game in high quality. Fans get noisy but not overly so. Can't figure out how to boot from USB as BIOS is unconventional. Graphics are buttery smooth playing Witcher 3, AC Odyssey, Titanfall 2, Wreckfest, etc.

Screen is beautiful. Also, power cable and ethernet port on the left is a must for me. Easy access to major components via a panel underneath was a smart move on ASUS. The webcam could be better, but to achieve the thin screen bezels Im not bothered by it at all. Amazing laptop!

This ASUS gaming laptop is perfect for what I had in mind - gaming and media creation. I haven't tried to push the limits with any AAA games at max/ultra settings but the few resource-heavy games I have run get by easily on high. And MTGA runs just fine (the majority of gaming I do on this laptop). The main reason I bought this though, is to develop games (for mid-level machines), edit videos, and make music. It has done admirably in all these areas and I highly recommend it for those things.

This is a powerful gaming computer that has all the power and capabilities I'd expect from Asus. My last Asus G74sx lasted almost a decade before I put it to rest, although its still operational. I hope to get the same kind of durability and longevity out of this one. Thanks Best Buy for the great sale price!

My daughter is a Gaming and Graphic Design major. This computer is powerful for handling gaming and graphic design programs. It can do more than a MAC and with ease. However, my daughter had run ins with bias professors who preferred MAC and would down grade her just because she had a windows computer.

Computer is wonderful but trying to get the free game download has been exasperating. Partly due to my misreading a letter in the code for the game. When I got it down I tried to get the game and every time they were down for maintenance. When I finally got through the free game download had expired. This on the NVIDIA SITE
