The laptop works great for everything ive ran on it. Beautiful display and graphics. The laptop does get pretty hot but I purchased a lap desk that keeps it slightly elevated and its been much better.

Honestly this laptop is of very high quality make, and is priced well for what you can currently buy (2023). The slots are varied enough for all my current needs (2 USB 3 and USB type c) along with audio jack micro-SD slot, and thunderbolt and HDMI slots. The computers inbuilt power saver knows when to ramp up its power consumption when gaming and contains a very large fan exhaust and from what i can tell holds 3 internal fans.
The laptop does get hot along the center of the keyboard but most games do not utilize those keys so I have found it to be fine. Using 1234 or wasd you will feel essentially no overall discomfort even if the computer has been running on high for several hours. The massive heat exhaust seems to blow into the screen at some angles but I do not believe that it is capable of damaging it since this screen is a
The feel of the model is good and the interior and keyboard feels fine despite it being plastic interior with metal casing outer. That feeling you get on labtops when you use the touch pad where you go I hate this is not present on the touch pad, which is incredible.
On the graphics card I do know from the previous gen cards compared to the 4070 that the improvement is not huge, however I feel for a laptop where power efficiency is major consideration, this is a good choice of card since it uses less power for the same graphics of a 3000 series card.
16gb ram is enough and if more is needed you can upgrade this. Same goes for memory 1tb is enough but you can seek to upgrade later if it is not. (you will need to reinstall windows though.
This laptop I feel is not a great candidate to run long periods on battery power. If you game it will only run a hour even on power saver mode. For lighter use such as video, text docs, or web browsing probably will run for several hours completely fine. Recommend keeping the thing charging when used in most power intensive cases.
Lastly, the display is a good size at 16" and 240 refresh rate is enough for any frame rate you want to run games at. I have not noticed anything bad about this micro LED display and feel the colors are true enough for my needs. I do not have a artists talent so your own research would need to be done if you need this for drawing.
Well satisfied with the product. I feel that the normal issues with laptops are mitigated with clever design (heat transfer is a example.)

For a gaming laptop at this price I'd expect better quality. The standard ram was god awful, that was the first thing I upgraded to max out the ram for multi tasking. The FPS playing Call of Duty was always consistently high at max settings and playing Overwatch 2. The screen quality is actually pretty good. My main PC monitor is the Alienware Oled and it's no comparison an Oled to a laptop screen but the laptop screen is really sharp and fun to play on.
The biggest issue and annoyance with this laptop is no matter what I do and how much I Google a fix I cannot figure out why the laptop battery is constantly dying while the computer is off. The MacBook pro 2015 model I have still holds a charge after a month of not using it.
However, this Asus M16 laptop is god awful and something in Asus laptops keeps draining the battery life.
When using the laptop for work and just casual use, I switch it over to the power saving mode and it's not bad it lasts 5+ hours (not great but not horrible).
When gaming, I do have the laptop plugged in and I run the PC performance at max to get the most frames and quality but the fans are pretty loud when doing that.

Do you move around a lot? Need top of the line specs to run your games? This bad boys got it covered. Ive been grinding the past 2 weeks with this thing and have had no issues running anything. additionally, im in the middle of moving and for the power this things got its slim and lightweight. Only caveats are the max battery life is like 3 hours, and if you set your phone down next to the touch pad itll sometimes think you closed it and the screen will shut off. Nothing major, i personally dont mind carrying the charger with me because it stays in a backpack anyways. If youve got the cash to spare then send it.

This laptop can basically do anything that u expect. However, it's battery is not that great but that gets outweighed by the sleek design which u can only get from expensive razer laptops.

First Laptop in 8 years

Its been a few months since I bought this laptop and I absolutely love it. This is my first new laptop in 8 years. Seamless gaming and streaming, the functionality is incredible; worth every penny. Visually incredible. The only thing I don't like is all the bloatware that comes pre-installed on the laptop. It makes it a little complicated to navigate and maintain one's privacy. Also, some of the keys on the keyboard are a little questionable already and I would highly advise buying a fan with this laptop if you plan on doing any substantial gaming/streaming. Overall, super happy with my purchase.

My First Gaming Laptop

I don’t do a whole lot of gaming, but every once in a while I do. This is my first gaming laptop and I like it quite a bit. It was easy to hook up to a 4k TV so my wife and I can play together. It works fine for me because it is set up in the room behind the TV, but the few time I have used it on travel for gaming it is quite noisy. I am sure that is need to keep things from getting to hot, but it is a consideration if you are using it standalone. I would buy again.

I have loved it so far. It’s speed and processing leaves pretty much nothing to be desired. It is a little on the loud side from time to time but I haven’t minded it.
