A:AnswerFeel like it could be better but it's not terrible. Takes 5 minutes to render out a 20 minute video on max render quality in Premiere. I think Sony vegas pro takes a little longer than premiere
A:Answeri wold recommend putting fans on max or on med setting instead of using the stock speed. that really worked for me when creating renders and hardcore gaming.
A:AnswerIf you need a laptop on a budget for solid works, theoretically this is a very good choice. I would upgrade the ram for a program like that but otherwise should be perfect. Thermals may be an issue though for longer simulations and this laptop runs HOT.
A:AnswerIt does have international warranty please refer to the link for more details: https://www.asus.com/support/images/upload/file/20181018100511584_international%20warranty%20country%20cover%20list.pdf
A:AnswerCheck your Power plan settings, you might have a maximum power setting when plugged in.
Also you should have an app called "ROG gaming center" you can just search ROG in the start menu, and it should show up. There you can choose what fan speed you want to use. Just remember if your watching YouTube or just internet browsing silent is fine; however, when gaming i would recommend fan over boast.
A:AnswerMost times this can be resolved by making the monitor your main display. Full screen applications usually default to the main desktop, which in this case is likely your laptop.
A:AnswerYou can replace both ... I replace the mech drive with a Kingston 2.5in SSD and you could replace the PCIe as well ... I have not since the factory one is great for my needs. If you do though ... have BestBuy install them as this keeps your warranty intact with Asus... as BestBuy is an authorized Asus shop.
A:AnswerIt’s a hybrid drive, with a small SSD cache of frequently used files, which should more than make up for the spin speed of 5409 (which, by the way, saves battery life!)
A:Answeryou have to copy the undownloadable files to a USB stick before doing a clean install. there's lots of discussion regarding this on the ROG forums, and there is no performance gain when doing a clean install.
A:Answerbest buy won't tell you the next time they'll run a promotion, but... if you buy this PC, you'll become a best buy elite member which will give you 45 days of price matching. so you could buy it and hope it goes down in the next 45 days, or just wait for the next sale. with the student coupon, it goes down to 1,399
A:AnswerThe gl503 is much thicker and only features a 1050ti instead of a 1060. If you need the extra performance in games or for rendering then I would recommend the gu501.
A:AnswerThe brick model is A17 180P1A. I was looking for an extra one so I could leave one at home and the only place I could find the ASUS one is lps-gopower and your gonna be spending about 60$ before shipping.
