Good product oat a great price! Operates well with Linux OS

This is my second ASUS ROG Laptop, with the first being the Intel Core i9 M16 version.  This review is written based on game performance, benchmarking with 3DMark, and Oculus VR compatibility, as tested within the first week of owning. As expected, the laptop came packaged in a subtle understated fashion ROG is known for.  The build materials feel sturdy while still being one of the thinnest gaming laptops on the market. The laptop cover mirrors other ROG products with an iridescent shimmer running diagonally along the top 1/2 of the laptop cover.  When opening the lid, you'll find the laptop hinges pivot to tilt the base up and away from a flat surface, allowing increased airflow.  The screen is as expected, a high quality display with low glare, an internal camera on top, and slim frame around the screen maximizing screen space. Ergonomics of the keyboard are average, with the touchpad taking up the center portion of the bottom third of the keyboard real estate. However the keyboard design is nice, with a medium weight, medium travel key, and enough spacing for larger hands to comfortably navigate.  The keyboard is backlit, via single zone RGB, with various user controlled color options available.  As for port availability, on the left side, the ports are power, HDMI, Gen 2 USB-C, headphone jack.  On the right, the ports are 2x USB-A, Gen 2 USB-C, and Micro SD reader. Lastly the bottom has two bumpers that run the length of the body, adding additional clearance between the laptop and any flat surface you place it on to improve airflow.  Overall a sleek, sturdy, yet lightweight design that gets a solid 5 stars. Setup is as expected, nothing notable to report there, however, you will want to first check for critical updates in the ASUS Armory app for optimal performance.  The Armory app is a feature on the ASUS ROG product line, with 4 standard profiles - windows, silent, performance, turbo, and a manual option. The manual option allows for full fan profile customization, and then sliders to change your CPU TDP / GPU TGP limits. For consistency, everything after benchmarking I have the settings in turbo mode. For benchmarking, I used a few of the 3DMark tests - Time Spy Extreme (DirectX 12 4K test), Real-time ray tracing, and CPU profile. For the gaming performance benchmark, I wanted to check the difference between stock settings of performance and turbo. For performance, Time Spy Extreme yielded a score of 3452 (Legendary), with a graphics score of 3315 and CPU score of 4512, running the same test again with turbo yielded a score of 3874, with graphics score of 3742 and CPU score of 4848, so better than the performance setting results. While I don't play Battlefield V, 3DMark predicts this performance yields 1440p ultra with 75+ fps. During these tests I had the laptop on my lap, and found the sides exhausted fairly hot air, but the bottom was only warm to the touch. Also, as the fans ramp up, they are a bit loud, but not so much to drown out the sound if using the built in speakers. As for speakers, they are present, and will work fine, but not optimal. I recommend headphones for immersive gaming as well as blocking out the fan noise. For real time ray tracing, the laptop came in at a score of 3803 (again Legendary), and estimated Fortnight at 60+ fps. Trying out Fortnight, I am impressed, the graphics are very smooth. Outside of testing Fortnight (60 fps), FF XV (120 fps), and other Stream gaming, this laptop is also VR Compatible with the Oculus Quest 2. For the CPU benchmark, this laptop came in at a score of 7231 max threads, which is interesting but not compelling unless you're specifically looking for a machine to get started with software programming and/or 3D rendering. I chalk this up as another task this laptop can easily conquer. As far as practical application, my teen can run either Unity or Lua, while streaming music, and compile times are noticeably faster than his HP Omen desktop running the AMD Ryzen 5 2400G. Overall, 5 stars for a compact, portable laptop. You can take it anywhere, and do almost anything with it. While there is a bit of fan noise and heat generation, this laptop is a versatile powerhouse, from VR, to gaming, to programming, while it may not yield the top performance specs in any of these categories, this laptop is well rounded, and performs such that my teens will steal it and not complain about lag or lack of compatibility for whatever new game or app they want to try.

My new laptop bought from bestbuy, is weigh and comfortable to use

good laptop but already having hardware/software issues with the keyboard spamming random keys

Did exactly what I needed, lets me game as well as lets me do work from home.

Amazing all the way around. It gets warm but it’s built to handle it.

It is a nice laptop, all has been working fine during the last 2 months.

Awesome gaming laptop highly recommend for powerful laptop with many features.

I purchased this for my son and he is very pleased with all the features

This is a great product. I like to use it daily for gaming and school

This laptop is great, but there are a lot of quality control issues. If you are going to buy it get a warranty with it.

It's the best 14" gaming laptop all around at this price.

Purchased this laptop for business. The laptop has been used mostly for programming and number crunching. The deciding factor was its reasonable price (on sale at time of purchase). It has performed reasonably well so far. Battery life is decent although most of the time the laptop was plugged in.
