    A wonderfully quick machine with a smaller than expected footprint. mid- to- high tier internals with a snappy screen. This is an excellent buy for students and content creators who need a mobile platform that can perform rather well. the only con I can offer up is the sizable brick of a charger you WILL need to carry around. but, with that said, it's still a respectable, light weight laptop that can keep up with most tasks.

    I would not call this a gaming laptop but a very good creative productivity laptop. Problem with windows will always be battery life. This PC no matter how much you optomize gets very very hot to the touch gaming. Its a beautiful machine though. Returned for a strix

    It’s a decent laptop but it has its flaws. Ram is soldered so you’re stuck with what you get, the screen hinges should be a bit tighter, and the 4070 model doesn’t have the vapor chamber cooling system like the 4080 / 4090. The super loud fan noise was addressed in the latest bios update so the noise isn’t as bad as it used to be.

    Powerful, sleek looking gaming laptop. Initially used for a class to write large documents and create power points, it has a beautiful oled screen so i was worried about screen burn in with the stagnant text and graphics for that sort of productivity, but nope, screen showed a little bit but i suppose with newer oleds it leaves after a moment, always bounces back. Now used for gaming on the go, run’s everything easily and without needing to lower graphics. It got fairly hot and i do wish it had better cooling technology but that’s my only complaint. I resolved the issue by buying a cooling pad. I’d probably buy the same laptop again if i went back in time.

    And unbelievable product at a great price. If you have the money this is the one to get. A gorgeous OLED screen, a fantastic form factor, and 32 gigs of RAM which in my opinion should be the minimum on any of these devices. My only complaint once again is that they solder the Ram on so you can't upgrade it. Why these companies do this, it's beyond me. You can never have enough RAM and you can ever have enough storage space so they should make it so you can increase them as your budget allows.

    I’ll start off by saying that I am a long time Mac user, and Windows computers have never appealed to me. However, I started looking for a PC since I’m a S/W engineer and gamer, and tried a few out that I didnt care for. I just missed that premium Macbook feel… until I found this. I am absolutely blown away by the quality of this laptop. It feels premium, the screen is beautiful, and it’s very light for a 15-16” laptop. I’ll see how it fares over time, but so far I’m very impressed.

    Not a gaming laptop

    If you’re looking for a gaming laptop this is not it. Just stay away from it. Sure the screen is incredible and the looks are beyond good. But, the performance for gaming in this machine just is not there. From the scorching hot body within minutes of gaming to the low frame rates in not even power hungry games makes this an expensive and loud web browser. Such a bummer. The laptop wanted to levitate with it’s three fans after just a few minutes of playing Balatro. Helldivers II turned it into a hellbomb ready to melt through my desk.

    Nice display, fiddly setup, runs super hot

    Nice laptop, beautiful screen, just runs way too hot for me. Running Core Temp after I started seeing jerkiness in Diablo 4, all cores hitting 95C with throttling; running Civ 6 fans would spin up and down constantly and same heat issues, sitting on a wood table or lap desk. I could have bought a cooling pad but at $1600 I wasn't thrilled with this. Also I wasn't crazy about all the fiddling trying to get gsync and screen settings right with all the automatic switching between onboard and discrete graphics even when plugged in. YMMV but this one wasn't for me however if you don't mind all that and want to get a cooling pad, it does have a great display I just don't know if it is taking full advantage of that GPU.

    So far loving it--runs great, surprisingly light, and doesn't get too hot (though I did buy a cooling mat after reading others' reviews that it could run hot). Been playing a wide range of games to test it--played Baldur's Gate 3 on it for about an hour and a half last weekend and didn't have any framerate drops or performance issues. The touchpad is quite sensitive which I don't like, but I also use a mouse most of the time if I can. Definitely think I'll get my money's worth for this one!

    This laptop is a beast but with thinner design I wont expect it keeping cool. G helper is a good tool for any Zephyrus user because AC of Asus gonna heat up your laptop even I dont do anything. The oled screen is beautiful with 240hz display and last longer battery is what I want.

    Seems a good laptop. Very good performance with a great screen. Only negative I found was the trackpad really being not that easy to control. But I am guessing there are settings somewhere that can moderate that. Good for the price and meets my needs very well. The power brick weighs almost as much as the laptop.(g) A good machine.
