honest review of the specs
Overall great computer It has very advanced specs and I honestly think that it has great tweaking for performance and balanced and productivity but really hoped for a chance to get the right display which is 4k and talso touch screen aslo but as of now nothing on the table :/ but for multi prodcutivity it helps a lot for exmaple you can be discord streaming, while on a google voice call and also have a virtual mchine running and it wouldnt sweat a bit even i wish it had a pen but overall for its performance it really dismisses other cons

The beast
Really nice screen, good performance, and works great out of the box. Really disappointed that it only has 16GB of ram with no expandability.

A beast of a machine that I wish was upgradable
PROS Capable of Ultra Settings in gaming (on select games, i.e., Starfield) The OLED screen is excellent (HDR is impressive) The machine's speed is impressive for nearly every task. The sleek look and unique RGB light on the lid will get some eyes. SO SO The fans aren't the quietest (but aren't the loudest I've used) Price is $2,1499 isn't cheap (but whether or not it's worth it to you is subjective) CONS 16GB of RAM that CANNOT be upgraded (for a 2K+ priced machine, this is disappointing) One aspect Asus has going for it is its style, form factor, and build quality. Its sleek chassis, dynamic RGB lighting, and tactile keys all enhance the overall experience. It doesn't matter if you're using it for productivity or entertainment, their laptops are very fun to use. This one is hands down the most powerful laptop I've used, and I've owned a lot of them. It feels every bit worth the asking price as you play around with it. As soon as you unbox it, you'll feel and see the quality that Asus has put into not only the presentation but also the laptop itself. With plenty of ports for all your devices and decent battery life for a gaming laptop, whether you're a professional using it for productivity or, like me, primarily for entertainment, you won't need more than this offers (mostly, but we'll get to that). This machine is thinner and lighter than I anticipated, making it easy not only to move from room to room in the house, but also to slide it into a bag for trips or on the go. The battery life is average for high-performance devices, lasting approximately two hours. Whenever I do play high-demand games, I plug them in anyway, as most do, so I can't complain about the battery life. The first thing I do after setting up is install Steam, along with the games I'm currently playing. This was all simple and quick. After the Windows updates, you'll feel this machine blaze through whatever you need it to. The OLED screen provides beautiful colors, and the 240 Hz refresh rate ensures everything moves smoothly. Combined with the RTX 5070 and DLSS, the performance remains solid without any hiccups. I was able to finish Starfield and set everything to Ultra settings, with a 60fps cap, without any issues. It was a massive upgrade from my previous laptop, which featured an RTX 4070. The fans aren't the quietest, but also not the loudest I've experienced. Headphones are the preferred choice for most tasks when using laptops for this reason. All essential ports, including USB-C and USB-A, are included. You'll have everything that comes standard with most laptop machines. The onboard speakers, surprisingly, are excellent as well. While I prefer headphones when I play, it's nice to know that the speakers don't sound muffled or distorted at all. They're very clean. There is one disappointing aspect that stands out after being impressed by everything else: the memory capacity. This model comes with 16GB of soldered RAM, meaning it cannot be upgraded to 32GB. The issue isn't whether 16GB is sufficient; it's that gaming laptops should be upgradeable, regardless of the model. At over $2,000, 32GB has become the standard. That said, I haven't experienced any performance issues or hiccups, but it still concerns me to know that I cannot upgrade the machine if I wanted to. Although the heat control is excellent at corraling the heat in one area, where it is hot (below the screen and above the keyboard), it's extremely hot. Now, as I mentioned earlier, I played Starfield on Ultra settings and ran it to 80% of its capacity. However, it's worth noting that there's a small area where it does get extremely hot. It never shut down due to overheating, or made my lap feel too hot underneath the machine, so I'm not concerned with the amount of heat, but some may be surprised. This machine is well-suited for your needs, especially if you're a gamer. However, if you're a heavy multitasker using multiple editing programs, like a photographer or video editor, consider looking for a machine that can be upgraded to at least 32GB of RAM. For all other uses, this machine is a winner.
