    Laptop runs very well and impressed with performance. The one issue I have is the bottom panel to get to the inside of the laptop requires some effort to get it off. Otherwise I have no complaints about this laptop.

    Based on the price, what you're getting is definitely worth it, and you can even upgraded if you believe is not enough. Overall, great computer for the price, there's not so many computers at this price with RTX 2060.

    While it may be fast and have a good graphics card there are some shore comings. Firstly the cooling in this is not great. At idle it was getting hot. The screen on this is not great either. Colors were washed out. The final straw on mine when I plugged it in and I heard a pop pop. While it was still running and I only heard that noise once that was enough for me. I used to be a fan of asus but this is a poor product they produced.

    So far the laptop is just incredible, neat performance and the aesthetics are nice. The Asus launcher makes everything easier to monitor and control. Runs smoothly every game so far, I'm happy with this purchase.

    Not too bad for everyday use. Wish the fps was a little higher but a good value overall. It does need additional purchase of cooling fans or it will throttle when gaming

    I picked this up when it was on sale for $899 and it was a steal! Let me go through the pros and the cons for you if you're thinking about this laptop keep in mind this is meant for gaming so if you don't plan on gaming get something different. Pro -RTX 2060 graphics in a under 1000 laptop! -Ryzen 7 4th gen is no joke better than my desktop 3600x -space to add another m2 drive and a ssd(2.5) -Another ram slot empty (ryzen likes dual channel so get one) Cons -sub par touch pad -battery life -only one stick of ram -it gets loud and hot ***Again this is a gaming laptop***

    It works great so far except playing Oculus rift. I tried to play beat saber on this laptop stock and it does not work. It is horrible to play on, so I ordered more memory to see if that fixes the issue.

    So, you're probably looking at this laptop and wondering why its 999, or 899 on sale. Well, its due to the 512gb internal SSD and 8gb of ram. That being said, this setup is enough for most gamers. The SSD is extremely fast, and the ram is DDR4-3200 1.2v laptop ram. Knowing this is important if you want to upgrade the ram. I went with Cruical, and now have 16gb of ram. Additionally, I already had an external 1tb SSD drive ready to go. The processor is the new Ryzen 7 4800 H. Again, this machine is wonderful, especially with a few additional buyer upgrades.

    Incredible Budget Gaming Laptop - POWERFULL

    This is an excellent budget gaming laptop. I was tempted to go with a more expensive asus laptop and I'm really happy I didn't. The RTX 2060 is more than adequate for today's gaming and the processor is wicked fast. I've been able to play every title I've thrown at it on ultra settings which is just amazing for a 900 dollar laptop. This thing absolutely destroys my 4 thousand dollar MacBook pro. By upgrading the ram, wifi card, and storage you will have a truly amazing gaming computer. Cons Battery life - I only get a few hours Track pad isn't that great Runs quite hot For the price, this is an amazing computer that I highly recommend.

    While the specs and price wowed me, the screen alone nerfs this computer. It was fast and handled most games at 60+ FPS easily. but the screen was completely lacking, just a dismal 60Hz and not looking pretty while doing so, which kid of ruins the whole experience. Considering there are other versions of this machine with better screens or other models by different manufacturers with similar specs/better screens, just look elsewhere.
