- Cons mentioned:Sound quality, Speakers
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
You'd expect better speakers for $3500
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything about this laptop is great except the speakers. They're "OK" but compared to an old Asus Predator G9-7xx series, the sound quality feels lacking. I can't seem to find any gaming laptops that boast deep bass and not sound distorted at high volumes. Even after adding third party EQ and updating drivers, it doesn't meet the demanding standards of the user for this laptop. Does Best Buy even sell a 18" laptop with RTX 4080 with good speakers?!
I would recommend this to a friend Rated 5 out of 5 stars
