BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!

Great bang for your buck, this laptop is thin and powerful. It's als a sleek design, the one thing i would change/remove is the asus logo that lights up. But that doesn't really matter, what matters is that if you want a laptop that's a work horse with great fps, this laptop is for you.

This laptop is excellent in every conceivable way. Speed, size, keyboard, ports, screen, etc. Yes, it doe make some fan noise when cranking Battlefield V at amazing frame rates, but won't you be wearing headphones anyway? And don't you want it to keep cool?

ROG M GU502GV Is Good to Great!

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
4 1/2 STARS. First time owning/gaming on pc or laptop. Was going to wait for the GX model but this was in stock. Pros: Strong well built chassis, Size, Cooling, Specs, Cost. Looks.
Cons: Screen quality of screen. That's all I'm not liking as much. I'm coming from a '17 Macbook Pro and screens are night and day... Regardless, glad I made this purchase . Look forward to gaming on this beast for a while.

great laptop!! audio problems

I love the laptop, but the reason I give it a 3 is because of the speakers. when I first got the laptop, I had to return it within a week because the speakers sounded terrible. after a week of having the replacement, the speakers on this sounds wrong and broken. it feels like one of the updates did this to it, and I've been told you need to go into enhancements, but there's no option to do this. so while the laptop runs amazingly, I'm forced to wear headphones all the time for it. which isn't something I'm one to do all the time

Overall, I like the laptop and think the specs are suitable for my personal needs. As I have read and researched, it looks like additional memory would complete the purchase of this product. I didn't realize that there was no camera but can live without it.

Awesome ASUS Gaming Laptop!

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
We recently bought a new ASUS ROG Strix gaming laptop from Best Buy. It is a really good laptop computer I like the bright high definition screen. I am a console gamer I like listening to gaming soundtracks and J Pop (Japanese songs) on youtube :) I also watch CNN news on tv and online. One problem though is the laptop and ac adapter gets warm.

Only problem I have with it is that it does not have a webcam. You have to buy a separate one and with it being a really good gaming computer you would need a really good gaming webcam which can get pricey.

Nice package missing a built in camera and I wish it has a higher resolution like retina display in Apple Macbook Air/Pro. However that would make this laptop more expensive. It's still better than many regular desktop PC.

windows corrupted twice

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
somehow, this is my second one in less than a week, the first one had pretty fair temps and performance, but it had some coil whining and somehow windows got corrupted and started crashing.
now im on my second one and this one has backlight bleeding and the temps runs randomly high compared to the last one by the way with this one windows also got corrupted somehow, maybe there is some windows update that is corrupted recently who knows.
beside that, the ssd is quite slow and the optane sometimes helps but sometimes not, and since the ram is in single channel it performs less than other laptops with the same rtx 2060.
i really don't have time to change this one so i'll have to deal with it for a while

Dear James,
Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that you have been having issues with coil whine and Windows crashing, please accept my apologies. Can you send me a video showing the coil whine and backlight bleed? What kind of temperatures are you seeing? I recommend backing up all your data, updating your BIOS found here https://www.asus.com/Laptops/ROG-Zephyrus-M-GU502/HelpDesk_Download/, and doing a clean installation of Windows 10 https://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1013065/. If those suggestions don't work for you, I would recommend sending the laptop into ASUS for repairs under warranty. Please reach out to me at [email protected] and include case #N190838232 in your review for reference.
Thank you for choosing ASUS!

This laptop is quiet, however can get a little noisy at times. The keyboard is very quiet and is very comfortable. The best part is the 144hz screen that is very easy to the eye. Definitely would buy again.
