Ultimate choice for gaming and school use
Decent buy. Was really confused between buying a powerful gaming laptop that I can use for school also. After comprehensive research, this laptop was my ultimate choice! Performance wise, it’s not disappointing at all. Laptop does get hot like lava while gaming( I guess investing in a cooling pad would be worth it). The display is spectacular. Sound quality also excellent. It is a beast. It does slow down on me sometimes, but I guess these are machines- so they’re bound to limited tasks. G14 would have been really small for me. This is the perfect size!

Specific settings needed to get max performance
Pricy but an amazing machine. Hard to compare it to competitors by just numbers. Yeah, larger heavier laptops will perform better with the same specs, but you wont notice that in game. At the moment there seems to be a "glitch"? making the cpu perform better if set in optimus. Highest time spy score was a bit over 17000. Ridiculous numbers for a gaming ultrabook. For best results, until possible updates fix this strange interaction- -optimus display mode -gsync in full screen only -I use ghelper and disable asus background services (look in "extra" on ghelper, turn them back on if you want to check for updates through myasus) just having those services running seemed to drop cpu time spy score back into mid 11000s -cpu boost efficient aggressive -150/250 overclock on gpu (set in armory crate or ghelper) cpu score in time spy went from 11300-11600 to 12300-12800+ IMO having to have such specific settings to get the best performance is odd... considering they don't seem to have anything to do with each other. but that's the secret sauce for now until it gets addressed. 10/10 though. definitely recommend if you have the funds.

Finally a MacBook pro competitor
Expensive but well worth it. Everything about it is awesome. Well worth the money and $1000 cheaper than the Blade 16 oled with the same specs. Also, the 4090 has a TGP of 125 watts. I Set the world record in time spy for the time being. See attached pic.
