Customer Ratings & Reviews

Perfect small size (14 inch screen) with absolutely superior hardware. Battery is better than most gaming laptops I've used and it's lightweight which is perfect for me to bring it to school and have it in my backpack all day.

Its a great product, the only negative is this product does NOT have lights built into the lid. Do not be fooled if you are told it does. The more expensive version has that option. As for everything else I absolutely love this computer

I love this computer best purchase! No complaints other than the shipping. They got it figured out in the end so it's all good.

My daughter wanted a 14" gaming laptop. I felt comfortable buying this after scouring the internet for reviews. So far so good. She loves it. She mainly plays games purchased through steam and it has been great so far.

Setup was easy with Windows 10. Jumped right into 3D modeling and it has handled everything no problem. As far as I can tell, there isn't any bloat software to get rid of. I haven't done any gaming yet, but that will be the next test.

This laptop is great and is very good for its price, I absolutely love it. Only downside, the screen! Its 14’ which is actually fine, I was playing and using it just fine and it didn't feel bad. But I feel like they could've squeezed in 15.6’.

This laptop is realy good. I love it. It is easy to use. Made out of good quality materials. I like the features it provides.

This is a beast of a laptop. AMD chips are better and faster. I compared it one of Intel's best chip. Wish the screen was a little more brighter. This is perfect for a student who likes to game a few but also get a lot of school work done.

Excellent battery life. Powerful laptop for 14". I was able to some 3D rendering with the laptop but it does get very hot. Almost too hot and uncomfortable to type on it when it is running at 100% and the fan is pretty loud as well

WSL 2 on Windows 10 is very capable for all the development needs. If you elect to upgrade to 40GB (8GB onboard + 32GB stick), then you are paying not a lot of money for a lot of laptop, as opposed to 2000$+ laptop that has non-upgradable ram

I love this laptop! Originally purchased it to play COD, then got into other games and I love it. Have it connected to external gaming monitor and man. This thing is nothing short of amazing.

Plenty of videos out there about performance and specs. Light, beautiful, and fast!! I'm very happy!!

Kyra assisted my girlfriend and I in making a couple large purchases. Two laptops and an Apple Watch. She was extremely sweet and knowledgeable of her products. She definitely went the extra mile for us and we really appreciated it.

So I am going to start out with the positives: - Amazing formfactor - Great build quality materials - Love the 120hz 1080p IPS display (did not notice ghosting while gaming) - Super fast CPU from AMD that blows away intel's 15-17" laptops in anything - super powerful build in igpu on the amd cpu - RTX 2060 amazing in a 14" laptop like this and never really gets hot - Keyboard is great to type on and I am a fan of the shape of the space bar - super thin and light (especially compared to any laptop I have owned before that is a gaming laptop) - Nothing else out there quite like this in this size and performance - Great value for the money on paper with the specs you get - Coming from the Alienware 13 R3 this is pretty much a better device all over on paper -usb-c charging is pretty amazing on a gaming laptop and you can game on the built in gpu on it (which is really powerful compared to any other igpu out there) - great batterylife that blows away my last laptop - love how the screen when you open it lifts the laptop up for better airflow - amazing speakers and they are super loud and clear Negatives: -Soldered RAM limits upgrade potential and raises concerns for repairability -single m.2 slot is also limiting -stock intel ssd is trash tier QLC and i would have prefered a non-nvme drive over this with TLC -fingerprint scanner on the power button is garbage and without tons of dinking around its pretty much worthless. -Fans run loud but for the power of this thing you could say its warranted at this formfactor while gaming and general browsing the internet/installing stuff (I think they need to redo the fan profiles on this laptop bad via bios update or something) -CPU can reach 100C or higher while gaming easily and even after repasting runs extremely hot (questionable fan profiles maybe not kicking in fast enough while burst loading a game or something) It got upto 100C while I was loading a level in minecraft... -AMD display driver issues with screen going black randomly and having to do screwy workarounds to possibly fix it posted by the community. (shouldnt have to Micky mouse around with a laptop at this price point) a bios/driver update could fix this down the road? - Backlight on the keyboard is the worst I have ever seen with pretty much the center of the keyboard is unreadable with the backlight enabled (I turned it off to read it better) -the touchpad doesnt click at the top half and only clicks physically near the bottom half. - speakers seem to pop every once in a while with dobly atmos enabled - no camera for windows hello (sorry I dont care about video conferencing, I want windows hello login with camera especially since the finger print scanner is trash) - the fact you cant take a blank copy of windows 10 and install it on this laptop and expect everything to work (dobly atmos doesnt recognize this laptop if you download it from the store and wants you to purchase a licence if you do a clean install which to me is a joke) - only way to replace the hard drive with another and get a clean copy of windows install is you have to pretty much backup/hack the original restore partition and create install media out of it because asus will charge you near $50 for that otherwise and like I said blank windows 10 install media will not install all the features of this laptop and I have never seen anything like that before in a laptop.(spent 8+ hours of my time banging my head on this one) Summary: The cons outweigh the negatives for me right now, WAY too many teething issues going on with this laptop. I am going to return it on the 11th (the day after I write this review) which is sad because I preordered this laptop and hyped it up after watching the reviews drop and the CES unveiling.(I have never returned a laptop before that I bought) This laptop needs some hardware fixes (backlight on the keyboard needs fixed, the fingerprint scanner needs fixed/updatred) hopefully later production models fix these glaring issues. AMD/ASUS need to work together to fix the fan/power profiles on this laptop so it doesnt run so hot and the fans kick in faster and run less while idle/browsing the web/office apps. AMD/ASUS need to work on fixing the black screen issues with drivers/bios fixes so you dont have to hard shutdown the device when the screen goes black while browsing the web ASUS/Dolby need to work together to let you download a fresh copy of Dobly Atmos from the windows store so you can do clean reinstalls of windows on this laptop without prompting for you to buy a licence. TLDR: ASUS/AMD need to fix this laptop and it would be amazing, it has WAY too many glaring teething issues for a $1450 laptop and maybe in a month or two could be worth buying if they release bios/driver/firmware updates for this laptop fixing the above issues. (and fix the backlight issues in later batches)

This is truly a fantastic notebook ultra portable and the performance is great. Only reason I dont give it 5 stars is port selection on one hand it's small but I feel like they could have added thunderbolt 3 and a few more other options.

This laptop is incredibly powerful for its size and price. In order to get maximum battery life, it does require some effort. There is a great community online dedicated to this laptop that will help anyone get the most out of it.

One of the best value laptops you can buy. Fantastic battery life, lightweight, and excellent design. Only gripe is the touchpad is a bit small, but otherwise a superb machine as a portable workstation or for a college dorm.

I'm so freaking picky about everything, it is a frustrating issue. This laptop is perfect! No bloatware! You can charge it via the power cord OR USB-C. As a coming college student, this is big! Gaming is great! I love this computer!

Great value for the price, only thing missing is the full sized keyboard with the number pad and page-up/page-down - so I had to remap some keys in my games. (old school, no game-pad)

Came from a Dell 7559 and this machine is amazing compared to that laptop even when new. The screen is vibrant, battery life is awesome, and gaming is shocking. I dont know how they got this much performance in this computer but its amazing.
