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.

    The only thing I can add is that this laptop is perfect for the money paid. When I bought it I thought it was great steal but later realized otherwise.

    Keyboard feels nice. It lights up too. This was the blackest option they had for these desired features.

    With student deals this computer is an awesome deal. The GPU is sufficient but the CPU definitely kills it.

    I was a fan of Asus earlier so I ordered this laptop from US, because I am living in India , I am also not sure if i will be getting the warranty claim on this laptop or not. I purchased it 2 months ago and recently one day while I was playing game on laptop one of speaker gets heated up so much that the plastic of body above it was also heated up. And next day the sound quality of the speaker found to be distorted. I was really embarrassed by this thing.

    Bricked in 4 months

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Bought this computer for my daughter for Christmas and it’s already gone down. She’s barely used it and a few days ago the display glitched out and froze the whole computer. It wouldn’t work unless it was plugged in. We spoke to ASUS and they agreed it sounded like the graphics card and told us we needed to email the hardware dept. Someone got back to use after 2 days and told us to install new drivers and a few other things. We did this and that’s when the problem got worse to the point that the laptop won’t even turn on now. We have sent a few follow-up emails but have not heard back. Very disappointing that this thing is already a brick and It couldn’t come at a worse time when my daughter needs it to be able to do school work. Trying to be patient considering the circumstances due to Covid-19 but I hope they’re able to help us get this resolved soon.
