Nice laptop. It’s pretty fast.Good for gaming But sometimes it gets froze for a second though.

I love the performance and this laptop very much. The only complaint about it is the length of the cord from the ac adapter to the laptop. It is too short for my likings However, I would not dream of returning it.

Best Buy In-Store Pickup was insanely fast, grabbed my ROG Strix G18 (RTX 5080) in literally 2 minutes! Placed the order online last night and chose In-Store Pickup the second I saw stock pop up. Got the “Your order is ready” text first thing in the morning and rushed over. Walked in, told the guy at the counter I was there to pick up, showed him the QR code on my phone, and boom, less than 2 minutes later I was walking out with the huge ROG box in my arms. He just grabbed it from the back, double-checked the serial, scanned, paid, done. Faster than grabbing a coffee. Got home, fired up the Strix G18 with the 5080 and that massive 18-inch screen, absolutely insane for gaming. Black Myth: Wukong looks unreal on it. Best Buy nailed the pickup experience. Five stars, highly recommend doing it this way if you see stock!

Excellent gaming laptop for the price. Got a great deal on an open box!

This laptop is very unweildy, however for my use case it is fine and actually does a great job at gaming and content creation. Has plenty of power and plenty of heat dissipation, unlike some of the other laptops made by the same brand. Overall would recommend IF you can find it on discount.

Great laptop, no issues, just what I was looking for

Amazing super screen and super fast laptop for gaming and work!..

First time gamer, haven’t played games in about 6-8 years. got this laptop so I can occupy some time when on the road traveling for work. I love it so far the quality is amazing graphics are really good. The only down fall that I seen and again I’m new here so I don’t know if this is normal, but the battery only lasted about an hour and a half while unplugged and watching Netflix. Not a big deal for me cause I’m going to have it plugged in at a desk anytime I use it. Other than that I love it so far!

I got this as a desktop replacement, and it has more than handled everything i have thrown at it. Build quality is excellent. Didnt really have much bloat on it, just Amory Crate and thats not to bad to use, could be better I guess. I would have gotten the Stix Scar with a 5080 for the mini-led panel that I wish this had. As I could care less about all the extra RGB that isnt just keyboard. Overall i am very happy with this thing. It is indeed a beast and worth the extra $400 over the 4080 version for future proofing alone.

The graphics card is choice! 2 TB is a good amount of storage. It's a heavy laptop and the battery runs down quickly when gaming.

Works great. Best specs currentlt available at time of purchase.

I got this about 2 weeks ago and so far I have no issues or complaints. The cpu is extremely fast and my the gpu is a monster and my temps have stayed nice and cool. Only things I say could be better is 64GB of ram rather than 32. I could probably add another ram stick or two, but I’m not sure if it’s easily upgradable. The other thing I think could be better is if it had 4TB rather than 2TB but that’s not really an issue because I can easily add another 2TB or even more if needed.

Beast of a machine. Definition of desktop replacement. I undervolted CPU to keep temps in check since I was getting fine fps in the games I play

This thing is crazy fast! Games run super smooth at 240Hz and the big 18" screen looks amazing. Tons of storage, plenty of RAM, and the RTX 5080 handles everything I throw at it. Stays cool for a gaming laptop and feels solid. Definitely worth it if you want top performance.

I just replaced my Alienware with this Beast and do NOT regret it! I have been playing Baldur's Gate on it and it is just stunning. I like the fact that it weighs less than my other laptop, but it is just as powerful if not more. Very impressed with ASUS...great purchase.

Was looking for a replacement for my ASUS ROG Flow Z13. Years go by and I'm not young anymore. I chose to have a big screen and not to bother with settings in games (I checked “ultra” and played). So far so good, I really liked the fact that I can quickly clean it or add SSD: without twisting the nuts on the cover, the back cover comes off quickly with a click.

Amazing performance. Solidly built and quiet. Perfect for my needs of gaming and 3d design.

The programs I use run so much better with this laptop. I us a lot of programs for work that it was dragging down the speed of uploads and downloads. The ASUS ROG Strix makes it so much quicker that I can complete work at a faster rate than on a normal laptop. Only issue was finding a laptop bag that fit it.

Thus far it lives up to what I expected. Will definitely leave another review in a few months for an update!

For an open box item, it seems like new. It still had the original packaging. The computer is good quality. I think for the price of the open box deal it was worth it. The only thing that I find lacking on this laptop is the the sound and the screen is not that premium but can be adjusted to look good. The screen has a bit of a yellowish tint that can be adjusted out and the blacks could be better. The sound is a quite thin but is loud enough. Other than those two things, it's great gaming laptop. I've gotten open box items from Best Buy before and they did an excellent job at handling and rating this one. Sometimes excellent isn't really excellent in my opinion but they seem to be improving in that regard.
