    Asus nailed this time. Paring RTX 5090 with Ultra 275 HX gives the ultimate gaming and productivity power in a laptop format. Love the RGB light with tool less access to upgrade RAM, SSD.

    defective.. I was looking forward to getting my new beast. I was currently using the one with the 4090 graphics card but got excited to discover the 5090 card. However, mine kept coming up with "windows encountered a problem and needs to restart. it keeps doing that. then a few times when it restarted it wanted a bitlocker key. Blue screen of death? I will be returning this one and I have ordered another. I hope the one I get doesn't have these same defects. I still think ASUS makes the best laptops. I understand like with anything else, nothing is perfect and there will be some laptops that have issues. Am glad I can return it for another. I have faith in ASUS. Still #1 in my book!!

      Dear LouisW,


      We do understand your disappointment with this laptop and the inconvenience this may have caused.

      If you are unable to play certain games, please update Windows, drivers, BIOS and the Armoury Crate utility software if outdated. Updates for this laptop are posted at: https://rog.asus.com/us/gaming-handhelds/rog-ally/rog-ally-2023/helpdesk_bios/. Configure the game, video and performance mode settings inside the Armoury Crate utility, ensure you don't go beyond the game's threshold. Additionally, if you are playing these games online, please ensure this laptop has access to an established router and internet service is working properly since this will definitely affect system stability and performance. If these steps were performed to no avail, please try to run a diagnostics or optimization test using the "My ASUS" utility software or application. If this is not pre-installed on the laptop, please download the application at the Microsoft Store. For details on how to use "My ASUS", please go to: https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1041686/.

      If you need further assistance with the product, please email me at [email protected] 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/.
