Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this computer for photography. I have not had the time to get it fully running but so far everything is working great. I mainly purchased it for the way it handles graphics and how the monitor stays consistently one brightness no matter where you view it from. The only down side, and the reason it didn't get 5 stars, is that it did not come with a Blue Ray DVD as advertised. Then when I went to look at the original wording on the specs it was taken off. Kind of a bait and switch. But I see there were other complaints on this same issue. If it's in writing that is what you get, then that's what you should get. Not worth messing with so I kept this one. I'm sure it would work fantastic for gamers but it will never have a game played on it with me. If games come in Blue Ray then it would be a problem. It is a great computer for handling my portraits and sports photography. It gets 5 stars for performance.

This laptop is amazing for the price you're paying. Packs alot of features and a smaller price tag. This is my third Asus Rog Laptop and I have no complaints. Will continue to use them as along as that keep up to this standard. Upgrade slots are easily accessible and gaming on ultra setting has been very enjoyable. Didn't notice much lag or screen freezing during my 4-6 game sessions.

I bought this for my self and loved it so much I bought a second for my wife. The processing speed is amazing, as are the graphics. Plenty of storage with 1 gb and the ssd drive.

after a month of light usage all i can say is that is alright. pros: -performance is great. -cooling system is great too. -keyboard feel is nice not too noisy when typing. -sound is amazing its loud. -all the ports are functioning well..i hope.. cons: -screen bleeding top right and bottom right corner -g-sync is not automatically turned on, i have to manually turn it on in the system bios.

It is a spectacular laptop! Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is b/c the build quality could be better as far as some of the plastic used on the bottom half. The edge where your wrists rest is very sharp, making it uncomfortable. Finally the fact that the lighting on the keyboard cannot be changed. Other than that, is an excellent machine!

A great gaming laptop, fast, quiet and slick! Sharp, bright screen and a decent sound (although the speakers are blocked by the screen . It took some time getting used to the non-directional sound or the fact that the best, loudest sound is behind the computer. It would be a perfect 5/5 review if not for the amount of preloaded bloatware. Fortunately I could uninstall a boatload of junk.

I bought this laptop about a month ago. The first day I started it everything worked fine. About a week after having it, the screen did not turn on every time it powered on. After about 1 to 3 hard restarts it begin to work normally. I read online that this was a driver issue with Nvidia and Win10, but I have yet to find a fix. Up until now I just deal with it. everything works great on the computer besides the minor issue with the display. Definitely a great computer for gamers and computer enthusiasts who also want to be mobile with out losing the power of a desktop.

I did not know that games could not be stored on the big D drive, That they could only go on the 100G C drive. and for me that's 3 games. But other than that, this computer is the best I have ever had, and I am 58 years old. So that is a lot of computers.

The price was fantastic and this laptop is a beast. The graphics card and processor run smoothly. There is absolutely no cons for this product.

Everything about gaming is inside this Laptop and i Love it just plug it in and play, it even has this recorder and you can broadcast it on YouTube and twitch for free! has antivirus and all the needed apps for gaming. i have the one with 970M with SSD and it's blazing fast! plays all the latest games including the Division ultra setting full hd 30-50FPS

4/5 Stars: I really don't like Win 10. I think it's a buggy garbage OS and would happily go back to 8.1 and it's tablet-y UI if I was certain all of my device drivers were compatible. Win 10 Explorer crashes on a brand new computer... WHY?! Other than that, computer is amazing 10/10 would buy Asus ROG again. My original search query was "GTX 970M" because that was the advised graphics card for VR development. It's something I'm going to get into in the near future, so I needed a workhorse that was up to spec. The Intel SkyLake processor, 16GB ddr4 RAM, and 1TB HD were icing. This beast is on the cutting edge (as of early 2016) within the $2,000 on LAPTOPS. (Before the desktop people scream at their monitors, I'm well aware of what can be accomplished with less tthan $1500 and some know-how) This is my third Asus ROG laptop since 2011. First was death by "Free Repair by Friend" after the power jack started loosening, second was passed off to my Lil Bro after hard drive crashed and wiped. Hopefully I won't need to replace this powerhouse for another 3-5 years... Laptops are getting expensive.

Great system for gaming, fast loads, great graphics and awesome monitor.

Not very good support from ASUS. No manual to speak of.

More money than I would have liked to spend, but bought 1 each for 2 kids and they love them. Graphics are great. Screen looks very good. Operations are fast. Very neat looking laptop. Big and heavy, but have not heard any complaints. They have had no problems having the PCs on their laps. Temperature also has not been a problem. Seems like the venting design works well. Will read the manual to find out for sure, but 1 strange thing may be 2 rubber plugs tethered by very thin plastic tywraps are supposed to be pulled out of the rear vents when the PC is in use to allow cooling and then put back in after use to prevent dust from getting in. My concern is that the kids will forget to pull them out when in use and then cause overheating. Also the very thin tethers seem likely to break and then the plugs could be lost.

I got this unit to do CAD drafting and 3D modeling with the ability to take the laptop to client meetings and onsite. A little heavy to lug around - still need to get a larger monitor for daily drafting. Apparently the trade-off is processor speed for memory. I occasionally notice a lag drafting big files with a lot of hatch or fill. Overall I am very happy with it - if I had another grand to put down I would up the processor speed.

Very happy with the overall performance and cooling system. This is my 3rd 17 inch Asus ROG gaming laptop and all of them still work without any problems.

Most of the reviews i read online said that this computer would not be capable of VR, but i decided to take the risk and purchase this computer, its below minumum specs for Virtual Reality games but from my experience with this PC, Virtual Reality works great at medium settings, it preforms about the same as a Gaming Desktop. P.S. Windows 8.1 works best for VR so i suggest stalling it on a partition on the hard disk.

Very good and fast computer though the multiple profiles and set ups are very confusing to get used to

This is my favorite laptop, it's really good in a lot of ways with only a few problems. Whenever I turn it on there's always this white square that shows up, and for a gaming laptop, it's 128 GB ssd isn't that much compared to other much cheaper laptops. Aside from that I love it.

Only down side to this laptop is it short battery life.
