I was looking for a Windows 10 computer with an SSD and an ethernet port for Zoom meetings. This was the lowest price laptop at the time with these features. It is a gaming laptop with gaming features that I will probably never use. But I appreciate the features like the keyboard, speed, display and audio. It does not have the battery life of other laptops and is relatively heavy. This is going to be used as a desktop replacement, so those are not a concern.
As of now there is one issue. There is no Num Lock indicator light, a feature missing on many Asus laptops. One possible solution would be to try a USB keyboard.

Awesome laptop for gaming! Great price too. My son plays AAA games on this and it totally rocks. Smooth gameplay and nice, sharp screen. ASUS TUF is a better deal than any other gaming laptop we could find, and we couldn’t be happier.
Best Buy even shipped overnight instead of ground we have selected so big shout out to them for being awesome too!

Decent laptop, needs a little extra Ram.

We are liking the laptop so far. Like all windows machines you need to do a bunch of updates out of the box. The only thing I would suggest is bumping up the RAM to a minimum of 16 gb, if you are planning on doing any video editing or a good amount of multitasking. AMD chipsets do much better when they have a little extra RAM at around 3200 mhz. Very minor complaint and should not deter anyone from buying.

The worst laptop experience I have ever had

Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.

While I would love to say this laptop is flawless, I absolutely can't in good faith suggest this laptop for anyone, especially gamers looking for a decent gaming laptop. Maybe it's a manufacturing issue, but this laptop will NOT install windows updates properly. Every single time I am prompted to restart my computer to install a Windows Update, I am brought to the start-up repair screen because Windows "encountered an issue when starting".
I have absolutely no malware on my PC and I confirmed this with a FULL Windows Defender Scan (not a Quick Scan, a Full Scan). As for software, I have Steam, Minecraft, Spotify, Clip Studio Paint, Zoom, Google Chrome, and no more than 5 Steam games installed, ALL of which were downloaded safely from their respective official websites/stores. None of these programs are malware, and none of them gave my older ASUS laptop any issues (the one I am currently typing this review on, Model # S510U).
It makes it impossible for me to do basic tasks on my laptop when I am forced to update Windows and inevitably end up back at the windows repair screen. The only solution is to completely shut down the computer, wait a while, and then turn it back on again. Since Windows is the thing that is causing issues with my laptop and I bought this laptop with Windows PRE-INSTALLED, I can only assume that either 1) Best Buy completely messed up when setting up the laptop, or 2) this laptop itself is absolute trash. Either way, I HIGHLY recommend searching for a different laptop for your gaming or personal needs. This one is not it.

Purchased this laptop for my small business architecture firm because I needed a little extra computing power for the programs I run. I also wanted a better graphics card for the 3d models I create. The computer has completely stopped working after only 2 years. The motherboard has completely failed and the cost to replace would be equal to the cost I originally paid.
I never used it for gaming and now I am stuck with no laptop to actually use for my business. Do not recommend this product at all.

Dear Kaps,
I'm sorry to hear that you are unsatisfied with the quality of the keyboard lighting on your machine. This is absolutely not the kind of experience that we want any of our customers to have. If you haven't already, I would recommend opening the Armoury Crate app and adjusting the color and effect settings of the keyboard backlighting to something that better suits your taste. If you have any general or technical questions, please email me at [email protected] and include case #N2101007311 for reference.
Thank you for choosing ASUS!

This laptop was purchased for my son for gaming. It has definitely lived up to his expectations. There hasn't been a single game he couldn't play or that was laggy. He absolutely loves his laptop.the picture is amazing. The speed is phenomenal. It was definitely a great purchase! I would definitely buy it again! When my little one gets a little older I will for sure buy him the same laptop! We bought it 3 years ago and it still working great!
