4.5 Stars. I cant give it that but thats my score. Its got a great customization over of under clock components right out the box. Its a great formafactor and looks good enough to be able to use in even the most professional settings. Performance wise its able to run games at 60 frames minimum even on the silent setting that turns the performance down. On the middle setting youre easily able to touch 180+ frames on some games. And If you REALLY let the ponies loose and set it to turbo, than ypull be hitting peak performance capability at even 240 frames. BUTI highly advise getting a cooling matt as turbo will eventually thermal throttle the performance and some headphones as this computer gets very very very loud. Battery life is pretty lousey which is why I'm glad I almost always have it plugged in anyways. Even before I put a more active background, it would last at most 2 or 3 hours on gull charge before dying. This can be mitigated with undervolting the CPU but still it must be said. Performance also falls off with not being plugged in but thats normal for gaming laptops With this laptop is that it when you plug it in or out, the screen can go black for a couple seconds. A nitpicky gripe but it can just make you pause for no reason and to me thats lame. MY GREATEST and top top grievance with this laptop though is 8gbs of the 16gbs of ram is soldered onto the motherboard itself. Why? This makes upgrading ram pretty much non viable unless you wanna lose dual channel past the 8gbs your new ram will be paired to. You'll still get 16gbs of dual chanmel, yes, but past that the computer will have to compensate and act up with any programs or apps that use more than 16gbs or a combination of them you may have open. This is a phenomenal laptop at the original price. At the open box price I got, its an absolutely unbeatable machine and im beyond thrilled at how lucky I was to find it. If I paid the 1500 this originally cost I'd still give it its deserved 4.5 stars

This is a great media/light to medium gaming laptop. It can be a desktop replacement, and runs most games really well at 1080p. Highlights include: + 240hz display and 2070 Max-Q GPU provides some really good, consistent fps on most title at high or better resolution. + i7 processor and 16GB memory for those who wish to get started to content creation and streaming. + Thunderbolt/USB-C 3.2 port with charging capability means compatibility with a lot of docks. + Easy to access expansion: the system has 1 RAM slot and 2 M.2 slots. + Very light, and colors and RGB are pretty stylish. - Only 3 USB 3.0 slots and no mini-DP ports. - Overkill for most Esports games like League of Legends and Overwatch. - Runs toasty during games; laptop cooler strongly recommend. Overall, this is a system that's perfect for gaming, streaming, and a little bit of content creation.

This is a fast notebook and can play newer games like Battlefield V at max settings with Ray Tracing on which was pretty impressive. On turbo mode it sounds like a hair dryer though and the speakers are very weak, they just do not go that loud. The keys feel a little small and flat and unless you have any type of RGB on, you cannot see letters/numbers of the keys. Having the RBG on will drain your battery faster so..... not to sure about that yet. When typing where your palms rest, it feels like a cheap brushed plastic. ASUS cut corners to put fast hardware internally and that does make for a quick notebook but to me the build quality it lacking. The claimed 240Hz monitor shows no difference to me when compared to my 144Hz monitor for my PC. All in all I got it for a good price but have second thoughts on my purchase.

Asus has been known for some clunky builds and overpriced systems, but this laptop is actually really well built and for the price insanely strong. Coming with a 2070 maxq so your laptop doesn’t melt because of the power consumption of the 2070 super or 2080 plus a top quality processor decent ram(upgradable) and a beautiful 240hz screen with overlord capabilities. Also comes with a usb c port for phone charging. The system is sleek and packed perfectly; the only single problem is heat the system is rubbing a lot of energy with the power it has and it makes the system really hot about 61*c on moderate gaming though system are made to last crazy heat levels you need a really good external fan, like really good one don’t skimp on the fan. Other than that it’s a solid 9/10 buy. I think my internal fan was loose when he shipped because sometimes it started clanking really loud when the speeds kicked up so open up the back of the pc and tighten the fan a couple notches it’ll help.

Ive been wanting a gaming laptop for a really long time now and since my other computer just broke, I thought now would be the best time to go for it. Ofcourse I'm still really new to the gaming world so my boyfriend who is really into this stuff helped me pick it out. I absolutely love it! HUGE upgrade from my previous laptop! its really fast, runs games like a beast, and has good thermals, although, I recommend you to get a cooling pad for it because it does get toasty when running some games. Turbo mode is really loud but I don't mind because my headset blocks out all the noise. Super happy :) I'm a sucker for RGB too so, I love the keyboard!!
