A:AnswerThe backlight on the keyboard looks great. It’s a single RGB zone, so you won’t be able to set different colors in different areas or individual keys. If you want that kind of capability, you will have to buy the Asus ROG Strix version. The keyboard backlight colors can be changed using the Asus Armoury Crate software application.
A:AnswerThere is a YT video where they tried a Sabrent Rocket as the primary and it was ultimately unstable on battery. The guess is the stock Hynix drive doesn't pull a lot of power, so swapping it might be a challenge.
A:AnswerKeep checking back every hour or so. While I took a couple days contemplating buying it, I seen it in stock new and excellent open box more than several times. I pick mine up tomorrow.
A:AnswerAsk your local BestBuy when they restock. I have 4 pretty close to me and they all receive shipments and update their online stock every Tuesday night. I checked every week and one popped up and I instantly bought it for immediate pick up the next morning.
A:AnswerIt says mine comes in 3 days *crosses fingers*
It never notified me. I just kept checking throughout the day for about 4 days and it came up for sale.
The first two times, they sold out before I could complete payment. But third time may have been the charm. Good luck!
A:AnswerNo store usually has this product in stock. They are mostly online.
Stores only have 1 or 2 products in stock when someone orders for store pickup and then cancel the order.
