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.

    I got this computer because my old one broke not expecting to much from it but it was able to play games like ark survival and natural selection pretty well. The only problem I had with it was the amount of memory but to fix this you can just buy an external hard drive

    Bought this while it was on sale and it was a great value. The graphics card pushes games and very high settings and I’ve had no real problems playing any games. The keyboard lighting software is not great though. The keyboard color will revert to the default pretty often for no reason.

    Im pleased with this system overall. Only one small bug with the track pad, it likes to randomly stick and I have to push the left-click button to straighten it out. I havnt found a fix for it yet, but besides that its performance for games is pretty decent.

    Built a new pc for about the same price 6 months ago. Was heading out of town but I needed to be able to get on line and get my fix. Everything runs smooth on her, if I had one complaint it would be the keyboard layout, but that’s more a matter of preference

    I just purchased this laptop and it is very nice looking. Unboxing I was a little confused because there was an extra part that came with it and after some research I found out it was to have the ability to add a second ssd. Overall it seems to be pretty quick and again has a nice appearance to it.

    I bought this laptop in the hopes it would allow me to run quad racing sims like Velocidrone. I have not been disappointed!! This thing runs it and everything else I've thrown at it flawlessly!! The device is very sturdy and the display, even at 60hz is amazing and all I could ask for! Great computer!

    Had this laptop for a year now and still runs great... doesn’t run all games though. If you are looking for a reliable laptop that can run most games out there and don’t want to spend a bunch of money, this is the perfect laptop for you then.

    Needed to get something for all I do and this was what I ended up going with. Mainly I use it for gaming and school and so far I haven't had any problems on it. Adobe apps work great on it so if you're looking for something that can handle anything from editing to gaming this is a great choice.

    I bought this computer for my son, and he absolutely loves it! Not only is it made by Asus, a company that produces high quality computers, but it is also perfect for gamers. With high quality graphics and a keyboard that lights up in a variety of colors, it’s an amazing piece of technology.

    Not the fastest nor does it include the best mobile graphics card, but this system is very capable. Not only useful for gaming, I use it for light music production, photoshop and plenty of other things! Nice RGB keyboard built in, build quality seems to be good for the price.

    I love this computer! I got this for school and for my casual gaming. It’s perfect for school because it’s semi light and easy to transport. And great for gaming because the specs are great and runs all my games (WoW, LoL, and others) very smoothly and fast. And the picture it gives is lovely!

    Great laptop for running a lot of tasks! If you're planning on using this laptop on the go, I wouldn't recommend, the battery life on this is not that great. Makes a better at-home laptop. Typing on this keyboard is honestly so satisfying,

    TWO hardware issues in 5 months!!

    I loved this notebook for the first month I owned it. Then issues started appearing: 1) I was prompted to install an Asus keyboard firmware update which caused the keyboard to become nonoperational. HOURS of tech support with Asus was subpar so I opted to pay for a Microsoft tech support plan. Microsoft correctly diagnosed the issue to be hardware. I had no option but to wipe my computer clean after spending weeks installing and customizing and take it to Geek Squad so they could ship it to Asus for repair. The turnaround time was just under one week. I then had to spend weeks more reinstalling all my data, making adjustments, customizing, etc. Then... 2) Audio ***hardware*** issues! Again, Asus tech support was subpar (this includes their 'tier 2' techs who are hardly better than tier 1). I called Microsoft and their highly competent tier 2 team did a thorough evaluation and said it was hardware related. 3) After having my operating system updated the annoying flashing lights started back up on my keyboard which I had earlier disabled. I called Asus tech support and asked for tier 2 support. After an hour 'tier 2' still couldn't figure it out so I terminated the call and phoned Microsoft's Assure Plan. Two minutes (2 minutes!) later they had the lights turned off. Conclusion: this is a buggy model fraught with issues...possibly a lemon. Tech support is horrible (they don't even know how to troubleshoot their own computers and they work at Asus!). Note to Asus: please don't bother to reply with one of your 'concerned' stock answers. If your company really cared they would hire competent technicians. Two trips to Geek Squad and weeks of tech support for a 4-month old computer is over the top. All you are going to do is tell me to bring it back in for repair whereby I start the whole reinstalling, customizing process again. Would I recommend: an emphatic NO!

    I’m not a hard-core gamer by any stretch of the imagination, but I needed a computer that would be able to handle my games without freaking out. The specs are good, and so far, it hasn’t given me any trouble. I really have enjoyed playing my various games thoroughly.
