ASUS - ROG Strix 17" 144Hz Gaming Laptop 1920x1080 FHD - AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 - 1TB SSD - Eclipse Gray

The device was of better quality than I expected and the box was delivered without any damage. The shipping was very fast. It is a perfect price and performance product. I am very pleased with the device.

great comp little big but make up for it in performance and bling

After trying a few different other brands. This one is a keeper!

new computer and i already got a blue screen of death. disappointing

I needed something that could handle Lightroom and Photoshop for several years to come, and I think it's more than up to that challenge. I wanted something I could play FFXIV on, and it delivers on that admirably. Gameplay is smooth even in extremely crowded areas, and overall it's wonderfully responsive. Quiet, too, even with heavy demand on the hardware! The only real issue I've noticed so far is that my display will periodically flash black while I'm doing things using the integrated GPU. It's very quick, it doesn't actually interrupt what I'm doing, it's just pretty obvious especially when the majority of the screen is white. It may be just a driver issue, but so far none of the troubleshooting steps I've gone through have resolved it.

After five years with a noisy Alienware 17, it's time to upgrade and I found this ROG Strix G17 model. This is the best gaming laptop I've ever had. I researched various models, and found that Strix G17 is nearly identical to ROG Strix Scar, the fastest machine in its price range in 2023. Its combination of Ryzen 9 and RTX4070 provides superior performance. It is super fast and super quiet. Granted, I play graphics-light games. With MS Office, online browsing and video streaming, it's so quiet you'll not even notice it's running (just comes to show how noisy Alienwares are!). Also, the ROG dashboard (Armoury Crate) allows you to customize the laptop's power, speed, lighting, etc, with silent, performance or turbo modes. I'm removing one star for the following reasons: 1) the laptop is a bit unstable, and the process of updating drivers (AMD CPU, NVidia GPU, Strix BIOS, and Windows 11) is quite complicated. You will come across strange bugs for a while (display settings fail, black screens for a millisecond, freezes, etc.). ROG is not the most reliable brand: I owned one in the past and it required repairs. Also, online reviews about ROG and Strix are controversial. In sum, this laptop requires in-depth knowledge and is not for the faint of heart. 2) Best Buy's poor customer service: both online and in-store operate in different planets, I was very disappointed with the discrepancies in service. Online site gave me a trade-in value for my old Alienware, but the store manager couldn't accept it during check out. Online and phone customer service is inconsistent and powerless (not to mention its very poor written messages on chat). Fix 1 and 2, and I'd give 5 starts to this wonderful machine.

I’ve only used this computer for about a month now and haven’t tested all the features I’d like to, but so far it works great. it lags slightly but I figured out that’s due to it moving faster than my internet can handle. the graphics could be better but it’s good enough for me. also I love how everything lights up in different colors!

This laptop is an absolute beast! It can handle any game I throw at it with ease. The display is amazing, and the refresh rate makes a big difference in fast-paced games. The keyboard is comfortable to type on, and the backlighting is a nice touch. The laptop is well-built and feels like it can last a long time
