If you want a gaming laptop that isn't cringe aesthetically this or the G14 are your best choices. The performance will not disappoint and the screen is amazing. I have a desktop with a 4090 and I can enjoy gaming on either equally. The one drawback is the battery which gives me between 3 and 4 hours of watching youtube at max brightness.

Graphic card 5070 Issues

The Laptop looks and feels good and well built. However, just as the other comments, the NVIDIA 5070 is defective. Computer crashed multiple times with a rendering software (Twinmotion) can’t even install the latest version of the software, leading to a crash and a blue screen a WATCHDOG VIOLATION error. Also it crashed when opening a game from Xbox Or PC. All fingers pointed to NVIDIA defective cards and missing ROPs which they claimed it affected the 0.5% of the 5000 series cards. I returned the laptop and wating for a replacement which I’ll be getting in 2 days. If the problem persist then I’ll return again and get a different laptop.

Probably the best thin and light "gaming" laptop you can purhcase. I would not call this a gaming laptop given it's form factor, portability, and complete lack of gaming appreance. This is more of a Macbook like laptop that can also game. Nothing even comes close to this thing in terms of form factor and performance.

This laptop is very responsive, great for both gaming and productivity. I've always been an Intel fan, due to compatibility issues I've had with other processors, and although this one may not be as "fast" as their 14xxx series for gaming, productivity is relatively the same, and the chips run a LOT cooler , drawing less power; and when you get to those high levels of frame-rates, there really isn't a difference to the naked eye between 130 and 132 fps, for example.

I got it for college, but found the fan noise and battery life worse than other options. It’s amazing for gaming, especially for how thin it is, but I decided I’d sacrifice gaming perfomance for better battery life and fan noise.

This is one of the most compelling high-performance gaming laptops you can buy in its class — combining stellar performance, a gorgeous OLED display, and plenty of memory/storage for creative workflows. If cost and battery life aren’t critical deal breakers for you, this is a top-tier choice for both gaming and productivity.

Everything looks good and worth the money... please be aware of defective graphic cards of NVIDIA 50 series ... check for ROPs count by installing GPU-Z...Everone should get the good GPU for what we paid for.. I have returned mine and waiting for exchange.

This high-performance laptop seems perfect for software development and gaming. Its sleek, lightweight design feels premium to the touch, while the powerful graphics card delivers impressive performance. The large, crystal-clear display enhances both work and entertainment experiences.
However, my shopping experience has been disappointing due to persistent delivery issues. Despite waiting nearly a month, I still haven't received the product. To make matters worse, the discount period has ended, adding to my frustration. I hope the retailer resolves this soon.

Bucks the trend of the traditional RBG BRO gaming laptop. Looks professional and minimal, while having great functionality. I would classify this as the best gaming laptop out now, bar none. The only thing on par would be the Razer Blade.
I appreciate the low level of Windows bloatware that Asus ships with.
Great performance with AAA games, and it doesn't break a sweat doing it. Maximum power savings through GHelper allowed me to get almost 9hrs of battery life, which is fantastic. This thing is truly the best of both worlds as a commuter laptop.
Unfortunately, the entire experience is let down by buggy hardware & crashes. After getting everything installed and set-up it started crashing multiple times with no real reason. I tried a brand new installation of Windows 11 and it was no better.
I hope that Asus does better. History shows that the 2023 Zephyrus series had the same issues out of the box and they eventually fixed them... Still, ultimately I returned this, because I can't accept so many problems with usability for such an expensive device. It's a shame because I really, really like this laptop.
