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.

    Purchased an ROG 4 years ago that’s still running strong, decided to do it again. Lightning fast boot up with the SSD & ridiculously light.

    Touchpad is buggy

    Computer is ok. Ok graphics, though some stuff like shadows looks a lot more pixilated to me than my much older less powerful graphics laptop. My main beef is the touchpad. It's really intermittent and to the point where it's easier to use a mouse instead which is a pain lying on the couch. Sometimes it scrolls great, sometimes no matter what i do it will not scroll. Sometimes cursors moves freely, sometimes i can barely get it to move an inch and have to continuously swipe my finger across pad fifty times to get cursor across screen. Sometimes i can easily move cursor to whatever i want to click and sometimes it's oddly repelled by whatever i want to click.....it actually moves around whatever i'm trying to click....i move it back and forth and like opposing magnets the cursor will move away from what i want to click. Geek Squad told me to bring it into my "local" Best Buy, which is over 400 miles away, instead of trying ot assit me online......thanks.

    I like this laptop. I do however wish I had gone with more ram. And the GeForce game recording was a little tricky to figure out.

    Didn’t like the touchpad responsiveness, it stalls slightly if you put it to the test.
