High pitched sound from keyboard, poor software

There is coil whine and it absolutely ruins this thing. I think its related to keyboard. When backlight is off, coil whine is awful. When its on the dimmest setting, its really awful. On the last two settings, its better but still AWFUL. No way I'm dealing with this for three years.
Next, the ASUS software thats preinstalled causes the computer to freeze, atleast on my system. Here is the proof. First, note that I reset this PC three times in the system settings and applied all Windows updates all three times. The issue never went away. Second, I then reinstalled Windows directly from Microsoft's website with a USB and boom, no more software issues. Problem solved right? Yes and no Yes, now the computer is super stable. No, because now I have two buttons on the computer that have no purpose because they're designed to be used with Asus specific software. There's no way I'm going to look at this keyboard for the next three years and have two silly buttons that don't do anything. Also, I'm not going to trouble shoot the 20 different Asus programs that came preinstalled with this thing to figure out what's breaking the system. That's not my job and I'm not going to wear down a computer I own trying to fix a problem that should've been handled upstream.

Dear jonnyhottub,
I'm sorry to hear that you are unsatisfied with your laptop. That is certainly not the kind of experience we want any of our customers to have. Can you take a video of the keyboard coil whine? I'd like to investigate that for quality control. Regarding your software problems, did you receive any error codes when the machine froze? Was it during gaming or light computing? Have you made any software adjustments other than factory resetting Windows, such as updating the BIOS or VGA drivers? Please reach out to me at [email protected] and include case #N200507155 in your email for reference. I'd like to look into these problems in more detail.
Thank you for choosing ASUS!
Best regards, Lane ASUS Customer Loyalty – US Support

I Purchased this laptop for primarily gaming, it loads faster than any other laptop I have used and even faster than my Xbox. The graphics are also much better. It is great quality and high tech yet very easy to use. This laptop is also good for internet searches and down loading my photographs.

Plays all my games great, get 144 FPS on Fortnite all high settings. Mainly play world of warships and Fortnite. Works great for regular computing as well. Fans do get loud when gaming but if your wearing a headset you shouldn’t notice it.

This works very well for our use. Fits perfectly, but windows 10 S is a little too pushy for our taste. Don’t like Microsoft telling us what we can run and what we can’t. Too much “Big Brother” in that.

Finding a good gaming laptop for a reasonable price was difficult. Thankfully, ASUS knew what I was looking for and Best Buy had it! The laptop is great, and the price is well worth it.

This does NOT HAVE a GTX 1660 TI It has the Max Q variant which is a good bit slower. The only reason I purchased this one over other laptops is because it didn’t say it was the MAX Q.. Called Bestbuy to get help and ask them to update their site they said just return it which I am for the MSI that’s $1099 and had a I7 that’s 15% slower but a RTX (non max Q) 2060 if you’re reading this do your research that’s a much better computer specially for gaming and the battery life is on par.

I had this computer for 5 weeks. it worked great. Then it wouldnt turn on. Took it to best buy for the warranty, and 7 weeks later they are still trying to fix it. 7 weeks.... A bad battery and a bad motherboard is what im told, so i guess there is some questionable quality in it, but the customer service and repair time will take so long it is outdated. i will update this if and or when i get my machine back.

Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you so much for your feedback. I am sorry to hear that the hardware and servicing issues you've experienced, you definitely should not be experiencing this with a new computer, let alone one of our Zephyrus models. Being that it is being serviced by BestBuy and not with us, there is no much that we can do as it relates to looking into the servicing but we would very much like to be kept in the loop. Please feel free to reach out to us at customerloyalty @ asus .com and provide a link to this post for reference so we can have this done (Please remove the spaces from the email address).
Thank you for choosing ASUS! Best Regards, Michael, ASUS Customer Loyalty US Support

Great laptop so far... Minus the odd freezes

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I've recently just purchased this laptop, and I have enjoyed it thus far. My only real complaint is that the laptop will completely freeze while on the charger which is a bit confusing to me. If there is a fix that would be awesome I've had the laptop for less than a week so I would really like to avoid more freezes.
