    I have a 10 year old Asus ROG and already had metal case, I am not sure why they switched to plastic only. The plastic itself is nice though. Lucky for me no screen bleeding. The laptop overheats but its a programming issue, which can be fixed by following a couple videos on youtube. All in all it is a great laptop for the price, would be nice to have the volt green accents to switch out.

    Well, I'm in the middle of a pickle. I got this laptop at the beginning of August 1st , and the battery quit charging on August 18th, just 17 days after I received it. I contacted BestBuy and they set an appointment with a GEEk tech at the store on August 25th. I need this laptop to do my work.

    The laptop is very fast, the 18" screen is actually very good also. Allows you to set the scaling a lot higher for better visibility. While its slightly heavier than the scar 17 SE 2023 the dimensional weight makes it feel lighter. I think for the price this is hard to beat. I would give it 5 star if it had the 17 se keyboard with the full sized #0 and the correct spacing and an AX210 Wifi Card instead of the 211. Also a centered and bigger mouse pad.

    This things a beast that's held back by a few cheap parts. I upgraded the SSD to a Samsung 990pro which benchmarked a bit over twice as fast as the one provided. (If your wondering why such a high spec laptop takes longer to load than expected, this is why) Additionally, I upgraded the ram to 32gb which is also faster than the memory it comes with. (4800mhz vs 5200mhz) with all that said and done it's upgraded from a beast to monster that devours everything I throw at it.

    One of the best gaming laptops I have ever owned. No issues at all playing any current games and the screen is nice and bright. I did have some issues with the screen going blank when I kept it plugged into the external monitor and when I would unplug it from the monitor it remained blank. A reset quickly fixed it but it is annoying. Overall though, highly recommend this laptop.
