Very good display and color accuracy
I have to say that the image quality of this laptop looks insane and it is not even the mini-LED version. This is a great laptop for the money. Excellent performance, great quality and it doesn’t cost 3,000 dollars. If you are looking for a gaming laptop that has good performance and visuals without spending a crazy amount of money then I recommend this one. Obviously, this laptops is even better if you use it while is plugged in so it doesn’t drain the battery quickly and be limited by power. If you want all the juice then use it while plugged in. You can use it unplugged but I recommend you plugged it in if you are going to run any heavy tasks or games.

Outstanding laptop full of power
I've been on a Mac for 18 plus years so it was a shock switching to a PC. I wanted to make sure whatever I got would be powerful like my Mac but I needed it to be more for gaming than designing. I went back and forth on what brand to go with and in the end, my choices ended up being the Lenovo Legion, the Alienware, and this ASUS. Price is a factor but this time around I decided that I would go all out and get a specked-out machine as I wanted to make sure it would last for a long time. ASUS had the best laptop for what I was wanting. I knew the i9 14gen and the 4080 was a must. I would have rather had the 4090 but this laptop had the best bang with the 32gb ram and 2TB hard drive. The only way to get the 4090 in an ASUS was switching to the Scar and the spec difference in the two didn't justify the price for me. This 240hz screen is super bright and has a Beautiful color array all my games so far just looks stunning. I don't know what they're doing with their display or the software but they got it right. The laptop starts up extremely fast powers up when it needs to be. The battery is not the best. I'm used to extremely long battery life with my Mac. The battery life on this is actually pretty sad but it's a gaming laptop so it's expected it has a good amount of ports but I think I would've preferred a few more thunderbolt or USB-C ports as that's where everything is going the one flaw that I have with this laptop is its design. The hinges seem strong, but they're ugly. The body isn't bad but it's not sleek when you look at Apple laptops or razors laptops you can see what I'm talking about with a design even the Lenovo legion has a sleek design. Everybody's different and I'm sure people will find the design of the laptop to be stunning, but for me, it just sticks out like a sore thumb, but on the other hand, the performance justifies this weird look to me if you're looking for a powerhouse laptop that can play anything you throw at it and probably will be able to for quite some time at an affordable price. This one right here is by far amazing.

Amazing PC, Great Price.
BEAST of a PC. Powerful, quick and relaible. Battery life not perfect but what can you expect from a 4080? Got this laptop for Architecture school and I couldn't be more pleased. Handles Lumion, CAD, Sketchup, Revit and others with EASE. The RGB keyboard could be a bit brighter and the speakers could be louder as well. Also, 2 USB A ports is a bummer. Overall, the ROG Strix G18 a massive BANG for your buck.
