Customer Ratings & Reviews

Tried two different laptops. The first was spiking to thermal threshold immediately upon desktop use. The second did not have this issue and the CPU behaved as expected, but after getting it setup and ready to start running tests, it stopped turning on. Power would light up the keyboard for 1 second and nothing. Tried the non-invasive steps like hard reset without success. I did run 3DMark on the first device, which is what brought to light the throttling, and even with the thermals limiting it, it scored very high on Timespy. If you can get a working unit, it's going to be a fast device. Don't expect it to be quiet and the screen leaves a bit to be desired, but it will be fast. Maybe if your main needs do not require regular use of the screen this could be perfect. It's not terrible, but if you have become accustomed to high quality displays you will notice. I would have some QC concerns going in, but if this fits the bill, like stated, it's a very quick device at a good price.

I do a lot of gaming and some graphic design. I am very happy with this laptop. I've been looking for a laptop for awhile and I was drawn to the positive reviews, the sale price and the raw power of the build. I have since added 2 TB of storage of Samsung 990 PRO which wasn't difficult. I tested the speed of the existing 1 TB SSD and it wasn't far behind in speed. I also ordered 32 GB of memory to boost the performance. It should be easy install after watching a video online. The FHD screen is good but if your looking for something a with a crisper image maybe consider a QUD display. It looks like its possible to upgrade this display but I'll leave the research to you. The fan is loud when your gaming FYI, But for most other tasks I can't really hear the fan.

Just started gaming on computers and absolutely love the speed and graphic quality of this laptop. Would highly recommend this to anyone.

Great performance for both gaming and productivity. The Ryzen 9 and RTX 5070 Ti combo is super fast, and the 165Hz screen looks smooth. Design is sleek and premium. Only downside is the fan noise when gaming – it gets loud. Otherwise, I’m very happy with it.

​I absolutely love this laptop. It's a true desktop killer, or a mobile desktop—whichever way you want to look at it. I'm able to run Black Myth: Wukong at max settings with a buttery-smooth 200 FPS. The performance is just incredible. ​What's even more impressive is how well it handles the heat. While it does generate a lot of heat, which is to be expected from any high-performance gaming laptop, it never runs hot to the point of throttling. I'd still highly recommend grabbing a cooling pad to maximize performance and longevity, but this machine handles its thermals exceptionally well. ​Overall, this laptop is a 10/10. If you're looking for a portable powerhouse that can handle anything you throw at it, look no further.

I originally saw this laptop through an article claiming $400 off it's original price. This laptop was exactly what I was looking for, mostly because most laptops with a 5070/5070ti are at $2000. The only downside of the laptop was the miniscule 16gb of ram. That's a easy enough fix since it's not soldered to the board. The laptop runs smooth and cool with very little fan noise under the performance setting. This laptop is awesome especially if you can get it on sale!

This laptop feels like it has good potential. The built-in screen is not great (low brightness and not accurate color). I'm glad I use this with an external monitor that makes up for these shortcomings. I use this laptop for work doing architecture and 3d renders. The laptop is powerful and quick. It does have some cool lighting but that is not important to me. I will say after having this laptop for over a month. I have grown very frustrated and disappointed. The laptop randomly restarts itself sometimes several times per day. Which means I lose any unsaved work and waste time. I have called ASUS customer service and followed their directions which included a full windows reinstall. Which feels like a huge pain considering the random restarts continued. When speaking to ASUS I learned that repairs can take about 4 weeks because they have to be sent out. I wish I would have know that prior to purchase. ASUS also informed me that all repairs would first need to be initiated by Bestbuy for this model. Also not very pleased with Best Buys very short 15 day return window. The price dropped dramatically 2 weeks after purchasing but since I was outside the return window I was not eligible for a price adjustment.

A really fast and powerful laptop with great storage. Runs most triple A games on high with a pretty good monitor that can display hdr but unfortunately can’t run it, the only other complaint is maybe the battery life that lasts around 5 hours or less depending on whether or not your on power saving mode. But overall I highly recommend it this product!

This laptop has been amazing, I use it for VR titles like Assetto Corsa (modded), BeamNG, and more. Absolutely no issues. Cooling is rather impressive, using GHelper on the turbo preset, GPU and CPU temps usually max out around 75c. If you have a gaming laptop, you know these temps are low! Display is fine, nothing special. I use it docked anyways 90% of the time so I don't need OLED or 1440p. Battery life is fine, nothing special, you shouldn't expect long battery life from a gaming laptop, they love to be plugged in. Overall an amazing laptop for the price, even a better laptop for the current sale price :D

This thing is amazing. Being a gaming laptop I was expecting it to be big and heavy, but it's not. It is a nice size and not overly heavy, I already took it on one work trip. My only complaint would be the amount of ram 16gb seemed low considering the rest of the specs. Thankfully that was easily fixed by removing the old ram and adding in 64gb. All you have to do is remove a few screws on the bottom. There is also an extra spot to add another ssd.

Great laptop! I recently purchased a laptop and I am very pleased with my purchase! The device exceeded my expectations in all respects. -Performance*: The laptop works very quickly and smoothly. -Display: The laptop screen has excellent color reproduction and brightness. -Battery life: The battery life of the laptop was even better than I expected. -Design: The laptop has a stylish and modern design that looks very attractive. Overall, I am very pleased with my new laptop and can confidently recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable device.

A modern, efficient, and powerful laptop—perfect for both work and entertainment. It delivers fast, smooth performance when handling multiple tasks. The display offers excellent visual quality, and the keyboard is comfortable for long hours. A reliable device that perfectly balances design, performance, and durability.

I bought this laptop almost 2 weeks ago because I was going out of town for a few months and I wanted something that was similar performance wise to my desktop at home, and thats exactly what I got! So far ive had no issues, performance is great, and the build of the entire laptop is gorgeous. I would recommend to anyone that gets this laptop or any asus branded laptop to uninstall armoury crate and install G helper. Its a lot of a less bloated software and super easy to use. Ive tweaked my fan curves easily and undervolted my cpu. It does basically everything armoury crate does except its less of a hassle. If you are in the market for a laptop, this is the one.

Sick laptop! Went on sale a couple weeks after I bought it, lame. Plan to put 32gb mem in it, other than that it's a beast! Plays Ark maxed out settings, it's amazing! No issues at all. Asus always comes through for the win, I won't buy anything else when it comes to laptops. Battery lasts over an hour playing Ark or Fall Out 4. It's quiet at full speed. Best Buy shipping is NEVER on time, always 3-5 days late, always an issue. This laptop makes me happy, can't wait to tell the wife what I bought! LOL!

Overall this is a very stable laptop, it handles all the new games very well and doesnt feel as heavy as it is. I did buy it as a temporary use, so I will be getting rid of it soon, but it is a very solid laptop. Very happy with it.

A laptop for those with disposable income, a strong desire to leave the laptop docked/attached to a charger and does not want to use cloud gaming – ever? What was impressive with this device? Keyboard and front edge lighting, transparent qwerasdf keys and space bar. Movie & streaming playback quality and sound was phenomenal. Downloaded or emulated games played very well. No hiccups playing Goldeneye or Crusin’ on project64 or playing any downloaded games through my xbox app. Using a wired controller was best for response time and had no input delays, but I did have a few issues when bluetooth connecting my xbox remote. What is bad? ASUS Support: I contacted them 3 days ago to see what I could do to fix or reduce all of the problems I have listed below, and nobody has reached back out to me yet. Battery Life: No matter what I did on this laptop, while not connected to a charger I was losing 2-4% battery life PER MINUTE. For 3 different use cycles, a 100% battery was drained down to less than 30% battery in 45 minutes. The first test, I just had windows updates, ASUS software updates, and a game downloading in the background. 45 minutes later, power saving kicked in and I had to connect the laptop to a charger. For the second test I went through some emails, played Microsoft solitaire for 20 mins, and had the keyboard backlight on, which produced the same results (after 45 minutes, I was prompted to plug it back into the charger.) For the last test, I have been trying to take some screenshots while writing this review…I’m at the 20 minute mark and I lost 40% of my battery life already ☹ Cloud Gaming: These aren’t the non-downloaded games you are looking for… I tried to use xbox cloud gaming three different times, with 3 different games and all of them were blurry/choppy, had severe input lag, and were entirely UNPLAYABLE. So, why 2 stars? Since the retail price of this laptop is $2,000, and is touted as a gaming laptop, how is it this device cannot play any games from the cloud, and no matter how you use it, you can only leave it off a charger for no more than 50 minutes before you hit critical battery drain levels? If you have a really short attention span (to stop what you are doing to run and plug this back into a charger) or if you hit it big on crypto or in the last bull market cycle on some stocks, this might be the laptop for you. If you had an expectation to play all kinds of games with this laptop or actually be able to use it for more than an hour off the charger then my suggestion is to keep looking.

Great performance! with a solid build. My only issue is the display brightness and quality. For the price point I would have liked at least a QHD display at least 400 to 500 nits but I believe they probably downsized the RAM & screen quality to keep the costs down all while getting into the RTX 5070TI GPU. I recommend getting a higher-quality external monitor to take full advantage of the GPU's abilities. Other than that, it is a powerhouse & runs AAA games very smooth.

The computer is very fast, the fans keep the computer at a maximum of 80 degrees, and games can be played at maximum quality without any problems. I use it for architecture, and it supports rendering and 3D modeling programs perfectly. In short, it's a very good machine.

It's a Excellent portable computer. It is very fast with a great display.

Handles AAA games with ease. 165Hz refresh rate gives smooth, responsive visuals. Ryzen 9 and NVIDIA GPU deliver fast, consistent performance. 16GB RAM is enough for gaming, streaming, and multitasking. Thermals are well-managed but fans get loud during intense use. RGB keyboard adds a clean touch. Great pick for serious gamers and creators. Rating: 5/5
