I wasn't expecting much from this laptop but I was seriously surprised. The RGB keyboard is great, GTX 1650 with 8 GB of RAM runs a ton of games. I upgraded my laptop with 8 additional GBs of RAM. Its running games like Forza Horizon 4 with Ultra Settings at nearly 80fps. It's a powerful machine for the price I got it at (around $649.99 during holiday sales).

I bought this laptop and got a great deal its a great price for the price point. I had to return it because the wifi card would not reconnect to the internet upon waking up from sleep trouble shoot with no success so decided to return I’m pretty sure this is a one off issue but will say that the laptop was great other than that.

I originally bought this for day trading, but pandemic hit and had to work from home. My job requires me to use many programs. I have been very happy with the performance! However, I’ve yet to do any high performance trading with it. So this review may not be helpful to a gamer.

I wanted something to cure boredom while I travel and this does the trick. Every game I've tried has been able to run with at least high settings. The stock ram is only 8gb and 2666. Another 8gb in that speed is only around $30-$35 so highly recommend adding another stick.

Bought this to serve two purposes:
1) for my wife's shirt making business for when I do intensive Photoshop/illustrator and computer resources are slim on her old Asus
2) for streaming our church services using OBS with an Elgato/HDMI camcorder and a remote desktop screen as sources over Facebook
We bought this during black Friday for just under $600 and boy.... Has this thing been a workhorse for us!!!! We used to use 95% of computer resources when streaming our church services with my 2 yr old Asus with integrated video, but now we're down to about 30% of resources used as it balances itself out with the video card!
Totally wish I could have bought two of these bad boys during black Friday, but I wanted to pay cash and NOT use any credit cards, so one was WAAAAAY better than none!
Great computer at a bargain price! Couldn't build it for this cost!!!

My kids and I use it to play a few Xbox Games and it works wonderfully. Also does normal computer things (internet, office, etc) very well. Boot up with SSD is extremely fast. Keyboard lighting was neat in store, but took a while to locate where to change the colors and patterns.

I purchased this computer for my son and I to play games on. Most of the games we play are older games and it works great for those. My son recently got Plants Vs. Zombies Battle for Neighborville and plays that on this computer as well. Overall a great computer for the price.

My daughter loves to play Minecraft with added mods and texture packs. Some games in roblox and Minecraft were very laggy at the beginning as the preferred video card wasn’t the integrated one but we figured out how to switch it to the GTX. Now it’s working smoothly.

I’m only giving three because at first it’s a great gaming laptop, and super quick with loaded stuff. Not even a year later, the fan is not working already. And we’ve cleaned it many times.

If you're like me and want both a capable laptop for college undergrad but like to unwind with some steam games and online games like OW or League, then this computer can easily set you up for that. Had this for a few months and it's running smoothly for the first part, though I've recently noticed error messages telling me that certain visual pathways do no exist and Asus support hasn't been very helpful in helping me to resolve the issue. The ASUS support webpage is confusing and convoluted, and can be incredibly frustrating to have to scour through because there is no option to chat with a live representative so you often feel as though you are going around in circles. Graphics are crisp and clean, and animations run smoothly, however the lighting of the screen is somewhat heinous, bearable but dim and just a personal pet peeve of mine.

Purchased this laptop during blackfriday sale at a decent price. I wish it has 16gb memory but for my workload but for the price i paid, i cannot complain. Dedicated GPU is great for low to mid settings gaming, but great for graphical works that I do.

Unbelievable price for the specs on this comp! Got it on a random super sale, not Black Friday, so that was lucky. It's for my son's holiday gift so hasn't been cracked open yet but I have total trust in Asus. Had a couple before and they're top notch.

It was on sale during Black Friday and scooped it up just to have gaming on the go. Nicely built, sturdy, comes with RGB for the keyboard, 8gb of memory (added 8 more gbs which was easy to install), and was playing Overwatch with no hiccups.

This was a great gift for my son, He loves it and it is cool with all the color keyboard features. He plays online games, watches movies and does homework on it. For the price a definite deal and no problems so far in 6 months.

Got this on sale and wasn’t sure what to expect but it turns out this is a great laptop. Boots fast and fast CPU. The card in this laptop will play most AAA games at high setting at 60 FPS. One this to do if you buy this laptop is upgrade ram, either add another 8gb or replace with better ram.

I really like this laptop. Great for its price. However, the touchpad makes loud sound even though I pressed very softly. I am not sure whether this is a defect or it’s just how it is. Other than that, its good.

Works well, as advertised. Got a good price as it was open box. Only suggestion would be when selling something open box give it a clean and thorough wipe down, maybe supply electronic wipes.
