Customer Ratings & Reviews

Im extremely impressed with this machine. Not only does it look good but it's an absolute beast of a gaming machine as well. Runs all of my games better than my gaming desktop which is only a couple of years old. I've had no problems whatsoever with backlight bleeding like some others mentioned and the keyboard is solid with no issues there either. If you are new to PC gaming I could see the drivers being a little daunting but really everything works seamlessly. I don't know that I've ever been happier with a computer purchase in my life.

Very Solid computer used it for school and preformed great during my AutoCAD lectures!

The trackpad is wonderful and it feels good to type on. Windows runs buttery smooth on this thing. I’ve never experienced Windows that was smooth like this. Because of the QHD screen, everything is super sharp. I like the look of this thing. The only bad thing I have to say about this machine is all the tiny holes on the back of the screen. Tiny debris easily get stuck in the holes and I haven’t figured out any way to get them out. Strange design choice. But a beautiful machine otherwise.

Sleek in design, light in weight, and heavy in performance. This portable gaming rig is beautifully designed and boasts some impressive hardware. The 165Hz QHD display produces a smooth and crisp picture at a 1440p resolution. With an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070, every game looks amazing. Although I have a great desktop, I find myself playing on this machine more than anything else. I highly recommend this computer for anyone interested in a high performance gaming PC.

I have had this Laptop for awhile and I recommend it 1000% No problem playing any game or doing any work you may need it for.

Love this laptop. screen is beautiful, and computer runs very fast. It does run hot when playing demanding games, so I would recommend a laptop cooler pad

This is pretty much a perfect machine in theroy, it's specs are great and runs every game smoothly even on maxed settings. It was even relativity smooth playing cyberpunk on maximum settings while livestreaming. It's main drawback is the build quality. The chassis and screen creak if flexed, you've probably seen the reviews about speaker popping so that's apparently a common problem. That's only happened to me once for a split second and I haven't heard it any time else so it hasn't been a problem for me. The lid if the laptop is metal, but the bottom half is made of some combination of plastic and metal or something. I can't find any reliable information on what it really is, but when the device is left somewhere cold the lid will be cold to the touch when you touch it but the rest doesn't do the same. And it really doesn't feel like metal even if it is some kind of metal. Overall though it's fast, and for the hardware inside it's a great deal. If you're willing to risk the possible quality control issues and don't mind the cheap build quality it's absolutely worth it.

Please do your own research before purchasing. There are a lot of complaints about this laptop on the NoteBookReview forums but I will sum them up here: *Speakers have a pop that occurs with some low frequency (bass) sounds. The only fix it to adjust EQ to drop bass. It's disappointing because this actually has the best sound I have heard on ANY gaming laptop, ever, until you have to adjust the EQ. Then it's terrible *There is no hardware mux (no Optimus in any form). This means you are limited to your 3070 feeding into the iGPU (AMD) which feeds into the LCD. This actually severely limits the FPS to the display due to utilizing CPU cycles for displaying. Hardware mux allows you to feed the dGPU (your 3070) directly to the display bypassing the iGPU and CPU. This is MOST noticeably on eSports games and competitive games which are usually CPU-bound. *The HDMI output is tied to the AMD GPU which means no HDMI 2.1 output, limited to 2.0b. However, one of the Type-C connectors is actually DisplayPort-Alt which IS tied to the GPU so you can output that directly to a monitor and bypass the previous issues with lack of Optimus. *The AMD Freesync option is a much worse implementation than I have seen in the past. I run a desktop 3090 connected to an OLED LG CX and the Freesync built-in to that works very well and is 100% smooth. The implementation on the laptop is smooth but unfortunately hard to describe, it does look different and slightly worse. The positives: *Finally QHD gaming laptop screens! It's been a long time coming, you definitely see the difference. The color reproduction is very great as well *AMD finally entering the laptop game with the 5000-series Ryzen CPUs. I personally have been Intel all my life until Zen 3 released and was really impressed with the performance. This generation of gaming laptops seems cheap, mainly because it is. It seems a lot of corners were cut in order to get these out the door as quickly as possible. My suggestion is to hold off for the next gen release IF you want to go with a major retailer. I personally can deal with the speaker issue but the lack of mux is what is really killing it. Also, this would be considered a Max-Q variant in that the TGP is max 100W. The manufacturers are making it VERY difficult to get numbers these days. I have purchased two of these and will be returning them soon. I would put these into a budget gaming category. There are previous gen options that are actually faster and with options like G-Sync are cheaper as well. Again, please do your research before purchasing.

Amazing price to performance numbers on this thing. I can run VR sim racing and all sim racing titles at 60 frames onto my sim rigs TV. Only down side is when travelling and using it for work there is no web cam, but I can kinda live with out that. Could use some more ports though

This is the best laptop i have ever owned. It boots up stupid fast and can handle anything i throw at it. The battery is reasonably good too, though I don't use it much unplugged. The only concern I have with it is it does get hot, but not to such an extent that it affects my ability to use it.

Sexy, Amazing Display, Insanse battery life for a gaming laptop, and powerful performance. What else could you ever want from a gaming laptop?

Had it for I believe a year now still runs great, great specs runs every vr game I use but on high for all graphical settings

Great product, customer service was initially good when I needed help making a selection and just ok on collection. Have had no problems with the product to date even though bing an open box item, satisfied with the speed and power of the laptop. Yes, the fans will kick in when under heavy use but it's not like a jet engine blast...merely some background noise.

Great laptop for gaming, games look great, no lagging or stutters, havent had any issues with this laptop.

I’ve had this laptop for over a year now and I must say it was worth every dollar. It’s still pushing and still a beast laptop. 100% Would Recommend.

Overall satisfied with the performance and use of the laptop. The laptop has maintained performance thus far and no issues reported.

Best gaming laptop I've ever had. The strange thing is it is also the best overall laptop I've had too. Unlike most gaming laptops before, this one is relatively light and compact. The keyboard is very nice. The touchpad is massive and great to use. 1440p 165hz screen is perfect for this level of hardware. Speakers are not the best, but are fine. Battery life is excellent as long as you are doing normal tasks. Lots of ports for a laptop this size too. Overall this is a great package.

The Ryzen 5900HS in this bad boy reaches almost 5500 during the all-core stress test in CPU-Z. By comparison, my desktop's freakin' Ryzen 7 5800x scores about 6800 with all-core at 4.7ghz. Single-core performance is about 50 points behind on the Asus laptop, but it also draws less than 20 watts versus my desktop's near 100 Watt -- and that's after I carefully set the voltage curve for optimal TDP and performance. Oh, and this laptop has an RTX 3070. TDP is only 95 watt I believe, but for 1080p gaming on any title that supports DLSS 2.x, you're set for the next 5 years at least. Personallly, I use it for both productivity as well as gaming. Adobe CS and Ableton run like a dream, at least, considering the portable form factor. For serious musicians, this bad boy, a Push, a nice interface, and some instruments/pedals/whatever othher fun noisemakers you have on hand are all you need for a solo performance at a nice venue. You might wanna bounce some of your samples in place after you've pushed their pitch envelope into outer space and smashed them together like a PBJ before mapping them onto a drumkit -- ya know, before you start layering those clips and adding live instrumentation -- but seriously, the Ryzen 9 in this is, well... it's a Ryzen 9. For video editors, you've got Nvidia NVENC, thanks to the RTX 3070. Graphic designers, illustrators, or more serious photographers will want an external display as the color accuracy and overall display quality are a bit... dismal. But again, it's a laptop -- you can't just bring your triple-display, RTX 3090, I9-12900K, 64 gig DDR5-ram powered beast on a cross-continental flight, can you?) Unfortunately, the followed up does NOT have an Nvidia Card, so get this year's model if you can. You won't regreg it.

Was looking for a portable device with enough power to play some games and edit photos. I've had no issues with this laptop in either regard - though expectations need to be tempered when gaming. It's not gonna rock titles at ultra graphics settings, but it's good enough for gaming on the go. I wish the ports weren't front-oriented, but that's a minor ergonimics gripe. The trackpad and keyboard are fantastic, and the sound quality out of the speakers is impressive though not quite Dell XPS or Macbook quality.

I’m a big OLED guy and ended up selling my Oled 15 inch RaZer Blade for this. This 2k 165hz display is so smooth and beautiful. Ryzen 9 is perfect and paired with the 3070, this is the best laptop for the price IMO. No regrets. Also keyboard and mouse are a million times better than Razer Blades, there’s no comparison.
