    I would say it is good, but unfortunately the unit I had would freeze and stutter during gaming. Could have been a defective unit, but besides that everything was phenomenal.

    The temperatures make it worth the purchase. The 5090 has gotten temperature high temperatures but the 5080 is the sweet spot

    You get exactly as advertised, strong high end machine. The plastic is a bit underwhelming, however, the laptop is a beast. Recommended if you don't care about OLED screens.

    So far so good! I would prefer a strix scar 18 though but best buy doesn't have it available right now. It's worth the price and I love the new design from ROG this year.

    Had to return this twice for the same issues horrible popping/crackling audio to the point i couldn't hear anything updated all drivers and looked for any solution just no fix available brought my first one back had to have another shipped in from out of state got it in and had the exact same issue again tryed all the fixes I could think of but ultimately Ihad to swap it out for a different brand all together. Very disappointed i actually really liked the way this one looked, loved the bigger size and the graphics and features.

    I have to say I was excited to get this laptop. It has great specs and the screen looks good. At least according to what i read online but after I received it, i was disappointed because the build quality is bad. It is all made out of plastic for a laptop that is over $3000 i was expecting something else. I know it is 18” laptop amd its big and heavy but its not great. Also the RGB lights started flickering after a few hours and the fan was working really hard and I suspected it was caused by overheating which was also disappointing. I ended up returning it and purchased HP Omen which has aluminum chassis and better build quality

      Dear Vahid,

      Thank you for your comment.

      We certainly understand your disappointment and the inconvenience this may have caused. ASUS is an ISO certified company, as a result, all products go into a strict quality manufacturing standard. All ASUS products undergo intensive quality control testing and inspections that ensure each one is trouble-free, and are built to last. This laptop is made of high-quality plastic, it is commonly used by other reputable companies. Typically, the RGB flickering may occur while updates are being installed and applied in the System Registry. ASUS provides warranty coverage for the product. Regarding your concern about the fan noise. It is normal just like any other brand with the same hardware configuration, for the fan to spin at full-throttle and generates noise louder than normal while the laptop is under heavy load like gaming, especially during the initial WINDOWS setup and WINDOWS Update installation. Also, the fan noise will be louder while antivirus software or malware are running continuously in the background. Ensure the system was not compromised by viruses or malware by doing a full system scan using internet security software or application. When system resource utilization is high, this will generate more heat than normal and tends to trigger the fan to spin at full-throttle and noise will be louder than normal. It does decrease or normalizes once utilization goes down. If you need further assistance with the product, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I would be more than happy to help. Or, you are most welcome to call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688. Also, you can chat with an ASUS live support agent from the link: https://www.asus.com/us/support/article/1135/.

      Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.

      Regards,
