    It works great! All my apps (AutoDesk, Inteilj, and GoDot) run smoothly. Battery is a tad short

    Overall the performance on this laptop is great. My online gaming experience has been top tier but there are some downsides too. I mostly use an external display monitor and playing for hours causes the laptop to be hot to the touch like taking a plate from the microwave. Even though it's been sitting on my laptop fan the duration of the game play. Then the moment in open the laptop to display, the keyboard carries the same heat. I imagine the constant heat will result in a shorter lifespan of this laptop. Considering the amount of money I paid, I may return it for something else. Still deciding.

    Packaging The shipping package was overly large but had an ample amount of packing bubble and cardboard to protect the actual laptop packaging itself. The ASUS laptop box was sleek, minimal packaging. The laptop was protected well and came without any scratches or dents. Laptop The first thing I noticed was the power supply. It's so much smaller than Asus power supplies used to be! The brick is still a brick but a slimmer, more lightweight power brick. This itself made me really happy. Cabling was an ample amount to run it around my desk. The laptop is a glossy gray and makes the laptop look more professional but still has hints of a gaming laptop. It doesn’t scream gaming laptop, minus the diagonal bar on the lid, reminds me of an industrial gray color but not cold. The profile of the laptop is slimmer than previous Asus laptops I have had, but still has a bit of weight. I love the look of it and it's smooth to the touch. The mouse pad on the laptop is large centered and goes from the edge of the laptop to the bottom of the keyboard section and recessed in with light edges. It is sensitive to the touch, smooth, and very responsive when using. The keys are responsive, clicky/spongy, i would call it semi clicky, with a low profile. It feels like they curve in towards the center a bit but it is subtle and really can not see it. Dedicated volume control buttons at the top right are well placed. The power button is recessed in and sometimes takes a press or two to get the laptop to respond. I found better success when holding down the button for a moment. I like the low profile of the power button and the shape adds an element of design. The laptop arrived dead, left it on the charger for a while and it powered up. There is not a dedicated ethernet port on the laptop, it's running on wifi right now. The available i/o ports are ample enough. I haven’t had the need to use a hub. The only time I thought about running the hub for the ethernet port was for game downloads. Smaller games downloaded rather quickly but large games hung at a quarter of the download, but eventually downloaded within an hour and a half. I normally download games through ethernet within a few minutes within a few minutes through ethernet. Startup/set up was simple and quick super easy, just uninstalled the few minor bloatware. Only had to do a few driver updates but those updates were quick. The OLED screen is sharp, bright, with crisp text. While watching or reading through screens the colors are rich and bright. The games look amazing and lively while looking at the screen. I haven’t found the need to make any adjustments to the brightness, minus changing browsers/app to dark mode. The white on the browser was intense. Built-in speakers are loud and full, I didn't feel the need to hook them up to external speakers as of now. I normally use headphones anyways. Watching videos and movies the speakers were more than enough. I did experience an issue with the laptop going to sleep and not waking up on the first attempt. THis happened a couple of times. WHen waking up the screen would stay plack and the mouse would appear on screen but the rest was black. After a min the screen would eventually come up but there was no option to input the password to login. Letting the laptop go back to sleep and waking it up again would correct the issue. Game play i let the laptop do game optimizations. I did not set anything up custom. Gameplay was awesome. I had been having trouble and serious issues with some of my games on my previous laptop. I was finally able to launch and play one of my racing games, I didn't have any of the lock up, freezing, or garbled images or crashes. The game has been running smoothly with no hiccups. Loading times between launching and game play are super quick. I was super happy with it running at full ultra or epic settings, I did notice I had a smile on my face looking at how crisp all of the images were. The laptop picked up on my mouse and controller right away. The fans did kick on and run the whole time. The fan noise eventually faded into the background but the keyboard where you rest your wrist did get hot/warm. Not scalding hot but enough that I lifted my wrist off of it. Summary I am super satisfied with the laptop. Start up to launching Steam and getting into the game is fast and smooth. The OLED display is just wow and puts a smile on my face. The colors and the way the videos or gameplay just pop. I love it. My favorite things about the laptop would be, OLED would be my number one and the second would be the power supply being smaller and third is the size of the laptop, and last would be how quick and smooth everything runs.
