Its a great laptop. I was skeptical at first from some reviews on youtube but i got it anyway. It was well worth it. I am able tk play any game I want and still have the probability of a laptop. Only issue so far is when I close it while its one and open it a while later, it never wakes up. But its a small issue that doesnt bother me since I always turn it off when im not using it. Great laptop

Pros:
Beautiful screen
Great high performing hardware
Fantastic gaming on max settings for the most demanding games.
Fun LEDs.
Great low running temps.
Cons:
16gb ram is too low. System needs more to avoid bottlenecking.
Weak speakers. They're not the worst but I get a lot better sound quality and volume out of my headset than the main speakers.
Heavy. A gaming system this good needs a lot of heavy hardware to run well and cool.
Windows 11. The newest windows that ships on it isn't the worst but it's not all that and a bag of chips either.

It’s good, but I’m going MSI next time

I want to start by saying that this is a beast of a machine. The specs don’t lie, and the machine itself is very decent. It advertises that it stays cool and quiet, and I am surprised by how true it is. This is (temp-wise) the coolest running laptop I’ve ever felt, even when I’m putting it through heck. My last MSI wasn’t very loud either, so it’s a little harder for me to judge that. This is far cooler than my last one, and I can actually play demanding games on my lap.
I’ve found the Asus suite of software to be the least user-friendly of all high performance gaming laptop suites. The way multiple programs almost interweave, but not well enough is more frustrating than helpful. Setting game-specific control/color schemes is a huge pain. I ended up to uninstalling quite a bit of their software too, as it bogged down performance and added nothing positive to my experience (what is up with that weird Bonsai Buddy-esque mouse thing???). It all feels clunky and junky, and I’m not a fan whatsoever.
Sound through tiny laptop speakers is never fabulous, but these are some of the best tiny laptop speakers I’ve heard. Not bad at all, but I’d still recommend getting nice headphones or speakers for some real sound.
The screen is crisp, clear, and colorful, but without that over-the-top artificial feeling. Pretty nice display, and I wouldn’t ask for anything different there.
Rather trivial, but I think that the RGB keyboard possibilities are far more limited than most. Patterns are done by 3 or 4 large boxy zones, and specific keys or even rows cannot be set, which is a little lame. Pretty unimpressive to me.
I don’t doubt I will get my money’s worth from this PC, but I don’t think I’ll get another Asus. The suite of software is what sets an Asus PC apart from another brand’s with the same specs, and Asus doesn’t seem to have their software figured out.
Overall, it’s a good PC that happens to suffer slightly from the fact that it’s an Asus. If your priority is to have a low-temp laptop, this might be the answer you’ve been looking for. If you want to customize and make everything about your PC your own, I’d look elsewhere.

Stops Cooling

Quite simply, it started off as a fantastic gaming laptop; but, unfortunately, after less than a year it stopped cooling. Apparently, this is somewhat common: https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLaptops/comments/1crtkn6/psa_asus_laptops_cooling_performance_often/.
