VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH A DEFECTED LAPTOP

I have been searching for the best laptop that I could get despite how much I would be paying, after more than 20 days of searching and comparing different brands of laptops, I decided to choose this brand since I have 3 ASUS laptops at home. I paid $33 for fast shipping in order to get it before Christmas and because it would take it two weeks to be delivered with the default delivery option. It was delivered within two days, and when I got it, I was so happy but not for long. I started to set up the windows, and it in the first minute, the laptop shut down without a clue, and turned it on again and let me choose the language, log in into the Wifi, and shut down again. I turned it on again and it asked me not to turn it off, it updated the BIOS and then it shut-down again, In addition to that, the sound of the laptop was very very loud for some reason that I don't know what was it?. Finaly, I got a message that were asking me to do a recovery for the windows, and when I tried to do becuse I thought that it might word, I got another message stating that it can not continue and the ther are some errors in the recovery. After all these incidences which just happened more than 8 times where I decided to put it back in its box and return it in less than 24 hours.
I'm extremely disappointed with this laptop and I was thinking that it would be the best of the best. this is just the beginning. I might go with MSI.

I only had mine for a few days, but I like the look of the pc. It arrived in the same week i ordered which was amazing, and two days after the it began shipping. Haven't seen any issues so far, and i love the detail that asus put into the box and the ROG themed items, like the stickers and keychain clip. Other reviewers would say the fan gets a bit loud but you can control the fan speeds, and a laptop cooling pad is a good idea too. Would buy another asus rog computer again if i need to in the future.

This laptop performance rivals some PCs. I have been using this as my main computer connected to a large monitor through the HDMI port.
Pros: I am able to play most games on this computer without issues. (rainbow six:siege, rocket league, dota and more. I upgraded to add a larger M2 SSd and a second solid state drive.
The computer has never once had an issue with performance. Scans the hard drive very quickly.
Cons:
- The fans are loud! Gaming computers get hot and the fans are very noticeable.
- Heavy. This computer is not good for the weak as it requires a larger bad and very heavy.
- No ethernet port. I have to use an adapter through the USB C port. Gaming over wifi is a no go for any real gamer as anything can interfere with signal at reduced speeds.
- Software bug makes the keyboard lights not stay on.
Overall less then a year with this laptop and I am already looking to build a new computer. However, this machine is great for gaming on the road when I travel or doing business. I would highly recommend this for any gamer on a budget.

Not available in any store near me so browsed online. Price at BestBuy.com was same as Asus.com and Amazon. I ordered from B.B. and it was delivered 2 days sooner than first indicated, a pleasant surprise. Well packaged and intact. I find the laptop blazing fast so meets my expectations. Fans are a little loud but adjustable via settings. Very satisfied with performance and display with a qualifier. My only complaint was a big one. The laptop would occasionally freeze and require a hard reset. No particular pattern I could detect. Happened a few times during light use of email and general browsing. Was considering a return and then after research downloaded GE Force experience from Nvidia. Running the wizard found several drivers in need of update. Hasn’t frozen since. If that holds, I’m satisfied other than having to find it myself.
