Customer Ratings & Reviews

I think i'm an ASUS fanatic. My last 3 laptops have all been asus and have had almost no complaints, i've just decided to keep upgrading to the latest and greatest. Windows 11 home is ok. Even if you're not into gaming you can still apreciate the dynamic display becuase you get a full 165hz 16:10 fhd screen and the response time is flawless. It is weird because I have an A***E phone and i've alway appreicated the response time on those devices but ASUS if right next door. Also the ACR film really help minimize the glare, so you have to be in a super dark room while using your device if you dont want to be. The mobile process is fast but not super fast but the Geforce does have that smoothness that only ASUS provides at their price point. It's expansive so get to adding on or dont. The cooling isnt too loud but you can tell when its on and when its off but if you have headphones in its a non issue. The looks are my face, the raised spreakers are absolutely perfect. love that design. the new highlight design on the laptop face almost reminds me of a light show of a cool car. just adds flavor. over all i love this laptop. no regets.

Purchased this laptop when it was on sale for $1549 and it was an amazing deal! The AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX and RTX 5070Ti is a great combo and you'll be able to run all the latest games flawlessly with high frame rates and likely all settings cranked up. Mind you, the screen is only FHD+ but once you connect it to an external monitor or 4k TV, it really shows off it's power! I'm able to run Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p on Overdrive with full ray and path tracing with DLSS turned on keeping my fps above 120. If you want to play in 4K, you'll have to tune back the settings a bit in order to reach playable frame rates since the 5070Ti has 12gb of VRAM. Still, it ran Cyberpunk 2077 like a beast and if you're only playing on the laptop screen, it'll be spitting out frame rates like it's nobody's business! I do recommend several things for a better experience: 1) Upgrade the RAM to 32 GB ASAP. 16GB is adequate but I decided to upgrade the RAM with some Crucial DDR5 32 gb (16x2) @5600 Mhz and it flies with multiple apps open. The laptop limits the speed to 5200 MHz. You'll sometimes find it on sale at Best Buy for $77. 2) Use the included ASUS Armoury Crate software to switch it to the "Ultimate" GPU setting when gaming (disables the integrated GPU). Also, switch it to Turbo mode with demanding games like CP2077 etc. 3) Purchase a laptop cooler since it can get pretty toasty. Asus placed some really good thermals and enough fans to keep it from getting too hot but I kept the temps much lower with a laptop cooler like a llano v12. All in all, this laptop has one of the best price-to-performance ratios on the market. It was an absolute steal at $1550.

Great laptop. Ran Cyberpunk 2077 at over 100 FPS out of the box. It runs smooth and quiet and has stayed cool even while gaming. It is also light enough to carry to and from work with ease. Battery last long enough during normal use, but like most laptops, it charge last a considerably shorter amount of time while gaming.

This gaming laptop is awesome. Games run super smooth with great graphics, and I haven’t had any lag issues at all. The screen looks really clean and the high refresh rate makes a big difference, especially in fast-paced games. It loads fast, stays cool during long sessions, and the keyboard feels nice to use. It’s powerful and reliable. Definitely worth it if you’re into gaming.

The Pros: Doesn't burn you alive just writing this review. Great feeling Keyboard Large touchpad decent battery life for a gaming laptop Very fast graphics and cpu Excellent speakers with Dolby access app set up The Cons: Laptop does get off if you look at the temps in armory crate I dont really care for the translucent keys as sometimes can be hard to see in the dark even with the backlight on no Windows hello 1920x1200 for a 5070ti is a little low. Screen brightness is very dull unless you turn up brightness in Nvidia Control panel No HDR Purchased this to replace a $100 less Alienware with an intel cpu and 4070 gpu. This blows that out of the water as it doesn't burn you while typing reviews. Plays games listed below at amazing speeds. Highly recommend this or the soon to be released 2k screen version with the 9000 series amd cpu. Cities skylines 1 and 2 with 100k pop 109 avg fps Sims 4 all exp and some DLC with Mods 250 avg WOW 165 ultra settings COD zombies 100 fps avg Anno 1800/2070 80-120 avg fps All games played while plugged in. unplugged it seems to do the same thing as the ROG ally and cap frames to 30-60fps while on batt.

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.

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.

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

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.

My first ASUS product was the ROG ALLY and I loved it. The natural progression, is a laptop. I happy to declare that this unit rocks. This unit is powerful and fit my requirements and also exceeded it. I wanted a powerful Laptop that I could do over all work and also play PC games. This unit does well in this area. I was able to play Resident Evil 4 Remake with no problems. I am certain that it can play more AAA games. I have not had to make upgrades yet. This unit by itself is great. Also, the price was well justified specially when it compares with the competition.

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.

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.

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.

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!
