The Best Gaming Laptop You Can Buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sure, here's a product review for the ASUS - ROG Zephyrus 15.6" WQHD 165Hz Gaming Laptop: The ASUS - ROG Zephyrus 15.6" WQHD 165Hz Gaming Laptop is an excellent choice for gamers who want a powerful and portable machine. Powered by an AMD Ryzen 9 processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card, this laptop can handle even the most demanding games with ease. The 16GB DDR5 memory and 512GB PCIe 4.0 SSD provide plenty of storage and quick access to files and games. The 15.6" WQHD display with a 165Hz refresh rate and Adaptive-Sync technology delivers smooth and responsive visuals, making it perfect for fast-paced games. The narrow bezel design adds to the immersive experience by minimizing distractions and maximizing screen space. The keyboard is well-designed and comfortable to type on, with per-key RGB lighting that can be customized to your liking. The speakers are surprisingly good for a laptop, delivering clear and powerful audio without distortion. The laptop's build quality is excellent, with a sleek and sturdy design that feels solid in the hand. The included power adapter is compact and easy to carry around, making it a great choice for gamers on the go. There are however a couple downside. One is that the laptop can get a bit hot during heavy gaming sessions, but the temps are not out of the ordinary as this is a common issue with gaming laptops due to their compact size. This can easily be mitigated with a cooling pad or by adjusting the laptop's power and/or fan settings using Armoury Crate (included) or your preferred clocking utility. The other is that it only has 2 USB ports, so i would strongly recommend a powered USB port accessory to expand accessory utilization and limit power draw on the machine. Overall, the ASUS - ROG Zephyrus 15.6" WQHD 165Hz Gaming Laptop is an impressive machine that delivers excellent performance, a high-quality display, and a comfortable keyboard in a portable package. It's a bit pricey, but it's worth the investment for serious gamers who want a top-of-the-line gaming laptop. 5/5 - would definitely buy it twice.

Great Entry Level Gaming Laptop
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great for gaming and work. I use this as a daily work computer and gaming computer. It’s getting at least 10-14 hours of use. Regular use is great with battery and has lasted about 5-6 hours with regular use for work (Microsoft Office Apps, Chrome, etc.). I usually plug it in when playing because that’s when the computer tends to run at optimal speed. When it was new it could run with out it but now it seems to get glitchy or you’ll see the frame rate slow down pretty quick in FPS games like COD. Simple games work fine without a charger plugged in always. I think my favorite thing about this compute is it’s simplicity, it’s look, doesn’t feel entirely beefy nor cheap but runs like a decent +$2000 gaming laptop build. Go for it if it’s your first gaming laptop. Especially now on clearance for a little over $1,300. A decent steal.

Fantastic Gaming Laptop
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.TL;DR I love this laptop! The build quality is amazing. The laptop feels very sturdy and premium. The all metal exterior make the device feel good in the hands. The sleek design keeps it from looking like a chunky gaming laptop that I’m not embarrassed to bring to Starbucks. I use the laptop for gaming and editing photos/videos. The display is a 165hz 1440p display. It is a perfect balance between having a crisp image and being smooth as butter without losing performance. The display is Pantone validated and is great for editing all the photos I take and I know I can trust the colors I see. The cooling keeps the device cool even under high loads. It’s impressive since it’s so thin. The fans can ramp up and be loud but it’s nothing compared to other gaming laptops I’ve owned. The overall experience using the laptop is great. It has facial recognition for quick login. It has a large smooth touchpad. The port selection is not crazy but it is a lot better then new laptops coming out. Lastly it has a great feeling keyboard at least in my opinion. I work at a computer repair store and it gets more and more difficult every year to find a upgradable laptop. The laptop has two nvme slots and I’ve already put a 1TB ssd in the second slot. If you want a lot of ram I would recommend getting a high spec when purchasing. The motherboard has one upgradable RAM slot and RAM soldered onto the board. You can upgrade RAM using the one slot but you can’t upgrade the soldered on RAM.

I like turtles
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Incredible gaming laptop with the best price tag. Yes it can get noisy when overclocking the GPU but what do you expect, they condensed some of the better components on the market to fit a low profile laptop. I read multiple reviews prior to purchase from weebs with endorsements and was skeptic at first. They provided the perspective of someone who receives free products, not that of someone who budgets. If you’re budgeting, this is the best product for the price. Be fragile with it and it’ll last as long as you’ll need. If you’re barbaric with your electronics than you’ll be one of the doofs complaining about how your laptop lasted a month {insert sob story}.

Good machine, best price!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Beautiful machine and great price. It’s actually cheaper to buy the laptop with low specs and then build & add the Ram and SSD. The screen is wonderful, all the games run good. Battery life is ok, not too great.

The other ram is soldered on. -The heat. This laptop gets hot! A cooling pad does help. -The Software is rough. If you are confident, its worth it to do a fresh wipe and install of windows. Here's some uncommon tips to help with battery life and heat: After switching to battery, go to armory crate and set GPU mode to optimized. Then, choose the silent profile. Next, in windows power options (Shown in pics), edit the silent profile. Change the processor power management setting when on battery, to 5% minimum and 50% maximum. These settings will affect the frequency of the cores and the number of cores windows will "park" or "turn off".

Good Gaming, work and Portability.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall: This is a purpose driven laptop who wants to do gaming and work both. It has got everything that a Good gaming laptop needs. Portability is a good due to light weight as compared to other gaming laptop. My suggestion-if you are a budget friendly gamer, just go for it, it will server everything you want. Pros: Light Weight- This had impacted my selection to this laptop while I was searching, really impressed. Screen- Brightness is good, crispyness, loved it. Sound- Believe it or not, sound is just so perfect in terms of loudness, clarity. Cons: Heat- No doubt that it produces good heat, the upper area of keyboard gets warm quickly but gets normalise with the fans, it's gaming laptop so you need to bear that. Battery- it is not actually con but just a decent battery for a gaming laptop. But yes good marks for fast charging.

Perfect balance between power and Battery Life
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best laptop I've owned! Screen has a high refresh rate, and the battery life is the best thing on here! Usually get around 8 hours with the right settings. Also got this laptop specifically because I can charge it via USB C on the go which has helped a ton. I recommend uninstalling Asus Armory Crate and MyAsus programs and just installing "GHelper" from gitlab, it does pretty much all the same stuff but is light weight and much more convenient to use (One of the only programs that allows you to turn off the Fn key requirement as well to use the shortcuts like turning brightness down or volume without having to press the function key). While those other two Asus programs use a ton of resources. The Speakers are awesome on this as well! At first wasn't impressed, but once I realized I had to open the dolby Access app to configure the settings to Dynamic and "Dolby atmos for built-in speakers", then the sound made a huge difference! Best speakers on a laptop that I've heard and dolby atmos works really well making it sound like surround sound somehow coming from behind you.

Q: QuestionThis looks like a great gaming laptop, but will need more memory and a 2nd SSD for my uses. What are the compatible specifications for adding in a DDR5 memory stick, and a second M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD? Does adding these immediately void the warranty?
Asked by Loomis1975.
- A:Answer It does indeed come with 16gb not 8, so it games fast and awesome at Ultra video. I'm considering getting a 2nd SSD because 512 is a little small if install more than 3 current games. I might upgrade RAM for processing video and images, but I'll see how it goes before buying more memory.
