Customers value the ROG laptop's exceptional graphics and appreciate the amount of storage it offers. They also find it to be quite portable despite being a high-powered gaming laptop. However, some customers have expressed concerns about the keyboard and trackpad's poor tactile feel, its fingerprint-attracting surface, and its slightly heavy weight.

It has performed exceptionally well. Graphics are amazing. Its awesome when you go to install a game and it goes to check your computer for recommended video settings and recommends ultra high video graphics. Its a good sized computer and really like the keyboard the backlit keyboard. Definitely a good pick if your looking for a faming laptop.

Have had this laptop for past few weeks and don't have any major complaints. Screen is good quality and doesn't pick up glare. I have been able to run current gen games at max settings with very few issues. Able to have alot of programs running and still runs smooth. Only complaint is what others have noticed, is that this is a fingerprint magnet.

I bought this as a gaming computer for my 8 year old. Its just meh. The mouse and keyboard are substandard and disappointing from a product line which is geared for gamers. Its difficult to read the keyboard and the touchpad is clunky. I upgraded to Windows 10 which was a mistake - many of the ASUS drivers have not been updated to handle Windows 10. I wasted many hours trying to find the drivers and ended up running my programs in compatibility mode. I would not purchase another ASUS product. It looks better than it performs.

I bought this computer for my son and he has had nothing but positive comments about it. He loves how the keyboard lights up and how fast the processor works. The computer has been the envy of his friends who have lesser systems.

Most of the reviews and even the BestBuy representative I called for advice said this machine would work with multiple tabs open. The only problem is I am a Day Trader and I needed a machine with quick response time that I could rely on not to crash. The day I tried the laptop it crashed a half dozen times within an hours time. I replaced it with a MacBook Pro, which was almost twice as expensive, but well worth it. I would not recommend this to a friend because of the experience I had.

I was looking for a replacement for a laptop that was in the process of dying after long and faithful service. The replacement I desired would have an i7 processor, 16 GB RAM, an SSD, great keyboard and graphics and found this one fulfills all of those parameters. It is truly F-A-S-T, typically rebooting in less time than the replaced model could shutdown. You won't go wrong with this one.

I love ASUS ROG laptops. This is the first time I bought a 15.6 one. I usually always go for the 17.3 ones but, Best Buy didn't have it in stock and there were no good sales for any 17.3 laptops. They did have this 15.6 laptop on sale so I'm trying this one out. So far so good.

I'm very disappointed with Asus in general and with this laptop in particular. The tactile feel of the keyboard and trackpad are poor. Thekeyboard is almost unreadable. The backlighting is miserable. It's just not ready for prime time. I've had to call Asus because the backlighting stopped working and called again because the trackpad stopped working.
