Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the ROG G531GT's performance, graphics capabilities, and value for the price. Many appreciate its sturdy build quality and high frames per second in games. However, some users have reported issues with the keyboard, lack of a webcam, and shorter than expected battery life. The laptop's tendency to overheat and generate fan noise also received some negative feedback.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    OK for gaming but poor quality

    The laptop is OK for gaming, but iutsude if that the price for this is not worth it. After a few months if purchase, the keyboard stopped working and hasn't worked since. There are also a few keys on the keyboard that have stopped working/stopped responding. I would definitely invest in a better laptop because this one is cheaply made and im not the only one who has had these issues with this specific laptop model.

    For the price, this laptop is perfect for handling console game streaming to various platforms, including FB, Twitch, and YouTube. The USB hubs work well with capture cards and webcams at the same time, which isn't always possible with some older laptops. All in all, great value for the price.

    This laptop is quiet, fast, and has great graphics capabilities. Main uses so far have been Minecraft (on all the highest graphic settings), web browsing, etc. It’s still new, but seems to have a decent battery life. Also, the color changing keyboard is a nice touch :)

    Fantastic laptop, but needs more RAM

    So, I bought this knowing that it was underpowered in terms of memory. However, it is eminently upgradeable. So, for roughly $200 give or take a few bucks, you can drop in 32 gb of ddr4 and a second solid state drive. This machine is a beast, and well worth the money.

    Boot time is incredible. I purchased specifically to render 4k video and it does that seamlessly. Also started pc gaming on it some reliving some of my favorite console games thanks to steam and it’s like playing a whole new game again. Highly recommend this laptop.

    Not a recommended laptop for games. Keyboard gets stuck in between and doesn't work at all when you try to login after hibernate. Fan is too noisy even for this lower end gaming machine. Only positive about this laptop is display even though its not 144hz as Asus website mention but for the price, display is good.

    only thing I have noticed in 2 weeks of using the laptop is when you boot screen goes black a couple times. Sometimes only once. Not sure why yet but as of now thats my only concern.
