Overall just a really cool and beautiful laptop
I’ve had this laptop for a couple of weeks now and so far I’m enjoying it. The RTX 5070 looks great while the Ryzen 9 keeps it running smooth. I ran cyberpunk 2077 at regular settings to fully test it at first. Ran smoother than it does on my Xbox series X. It has a nice sleek design. The laptop itself is very light weight. Battery isn’t the best, BUT during setup it gives you an option for battery save mode. What this does on top of multiple things is only allows the battery to fully charge to 80%. In turn this keeps the battery in good condition long term. I did this feature and this may be why my battery died after a couple of hours. The laptop is pretty quiet. I did hear the fans going, but I’ve heard louder, so I’m not complaining. Since I keep it on a fan most of the time to play it say I don’t hear it anyways. If I had to say anything bad about it I would have to say the charger and charger placement. Charger plugs in on the left side and it’s a pretty hefty charger that has a circular plug that goes into the laptop. In 2025 you’d think that it would be a usb c charger, but I’m not an expert on chargers so maybe there’s a reason behind that. Charger plugging in on the left side is a little inconvenient though. I like a laptop with a charger port on the back because I often use my laptop on a fan plugged up to my monitor. There are slots on the back on the laptop though. Not sure if their for the speakers or fans, but I can see why the charger doesn’t plug into the back because of this. I will say the size is perfect. I went through 3 laptops before deciding to get this one. Had a 16 inch Alienware that broke 24 hours out of box. Then 14 inch hp omen that was nice, but 14 inches was too small. To an Alienware 18 inch that ended up being way to big and weighed 10 pounds! This 16 inch light weight is perfect. Easy to find backpacks for and isn’t too heavy to where you feel like your breaking your back. It’s nice for traveling because I can fit it and my work laptop in a single backpack without it getting too heavy. Overall I think it’s a great laptop for the value. Also, I did some research because I was concerned with the 16gb ram thinking it’s not enough. This comes with an extra card slot that’s apparently very easily accessible. Not sure how much ram you can add to where the laptop can’t handle it, but tell me of an Alienware laptop that can do that! Just a really cool last feature I wanted to end my review with. Hope this review helps persuade your purchase and if it does, then enjoy your laptop like I am mine!

Asus proving why they are the Best.
So I travel a lot and having a PC than can handle competitive gaming and also big titles such as cyberpunk at 200fps+ is currently a must for my wants and needs in a laptop even. I've owned the laptop for a few months and I'll be fully transparent about it. I've had some small issues that others would be alarmed about such as blue screen or it shutting down when loaded with a GPU heavy game but it all fixed as soon as drivers, bios, and other software was updated. That's pretty normal now with any new PC or laptop. Pros: 5070 it is a monster and can handle anything you throw at it even with ray tracing, you will still see around 200+fps or more on most titles like cyberpunk, witcher, Dead space remaster, val, cs2, league, halo, cod, arc raiders, etc. The screen is actually pretty amazing even at 165 hz it performs and the colors are better than majority of other laptops even some monitors that I've owned (Asus, MSI, Dell, Acer, Alienware. Cooling is really what pushed me to buy this monster of a laptop. The best cooling I've seen and had in a laptop my internals don't even exceed 89°C which is insane on a loaded device, granted it matters how much airflow and regionally where you are located. Keyboard feels good and responsive especially for not being mechanical you really can't ask for more. The overall look and design feels good like the hinge and bezel, the feel the metal and panels as well feels high quality and looks good. Other than it being thicker of course which is important for the cooling aspect. Cons: Battery life is low I can play thru 2 R6 Siege games and have to plug it in after or during which are around 15-30 mins each game. So that could be improved 165hz refresh rate could be higher honestly for what this device pushes out I don't know why Asus didn't go with 240hz but it's not a crazy deal but something that should been standard. Brightness off battery on default. I don't know if you can change this in the settings as I have not tried yet but the brightness on battery is buns and annoys me when I'm playing a comp game other than that, that's all my cons I have for it tbh. Amazing laptop if you can dish the money out and definitely worth having the upgraded GPU vs other models or brands. This was the overall best bang for your buck in terms of power that I found out there in fall 2025.

Desktop Replacer and solid workstation lappy
This laptop fully replaced my old desktop and all i can say is that the 5070ti in this thing does a fabulous job of 1080p and 1440p gaming. The cpu is a Ryzen 8940HX cpu has 16 cores and 32 threads, and it's doing a fabulous job of running my installs of matlab and autodesk software. All in all, my one pain point q that i had to add my own ideal amount of ram which is fine, and I threw in a couple of 4tb SSD's rather than the 1tb it comes with. That's not so much a complaint as it is a personal use case necessity though. The 16gb ddr5 it came with was solid for general gaming and the use most normal people get up to. And 1tb of nvme storage stock isn't terrible either; it's better than what the new ps5 slim will give you! The stock 1920x1200p display is perfectly adequate and with a 165hz refresh rate, it's great for gaming, though i went and hooked mine up to my KVM dock. Don't expect the battery to last long gaming or doing heavy loads without it being plugged in though - the machine is too powerful to be all that light on power draw.
