Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've been an Asus Fan since I first purchased my P4S8X motherboard, and have owned laptops and other Asus products over the years. However, I cannot recommend their laptops at this time. I purchased and exchanged their TuF series ones due to severe backlight bleeding. So I figured, surely the top end M16 with a significantly better screen can't be that bad. Well I was wrong.. I purchased this model while it was on sale. It played all my games with over 100fps, had plenty of built in storage, upgradable ram on such a small form factor, and the screen... well the colors are great ( except for one unit where the "black" was so washed it was more like a gray) but everything else was beautiful, sharp, and crisp, with two units easily having 500nit brightness. Now the downside is... every single unit had backlight bleeding that progressed worse and worse. My first unit had it REALLY bad. I exchanged it for another which had more backlight bleeding spots, but to a much lesser degree. I decided to try one more time and purchased another so I could bring it home and compare, and low and behold it too had worse bleeding, and a very dark screen. I returned it immediately, and thought, maybe I could live with the second unit. Well the backlight bleeding progressed to the point that the top right corner started to bleed, and the entire bottom left corner of the screen had become extremely bad. Mind you I was extremely delicate, didn't move, or do anything to the laptop/screen at all. It just happened on its own. That kinda ruined it for me altogether. I will also note the third model has some weird smell, and crazy bad thermals in the laptop and the charger. The quality control department for Asus laptops must be on strike, because out of all the brands I've owned, none were this bad. I had such high hopes for this too. I honestly cannot recommend this laptop, unless you simply don't mind backlight bleeding.

So I got this to use a 3d scanner I have not had any issues with this laptop. I have not pushed it to its full potential as far as video games go. I’m excited to have it and highly recommend. It is a little loud when running apps that use a lot of memory or video card but I usually have headphones on so t doesn’t really matter.

Very good laptop reinstall windows 11 from ISO not sure what ASUS did but its very glitchy. PRO: Runs games fantastic, screen very bright and clear, keyboard is great feeling Cons: Running any VM's is not great, HEAT HEAT HEAT really wish they could get power management better for simple tasks like streaming or browsing web, Battery life is bad just watching netflix maybe 2/3 hours max. The fans spin up pretty randomly to kill the heat. Reinstall windows fresh from MS fixes most problems. Yes I would buy this laptop agian just wish ASUS had better image they were putting on here.

Great gaming laptop. I use for work mostly and never had any issues. Would recommend

Great laptop for gaming. Relatively slimmer than other gaming laptops. Only problem is the loud fan noises. Battery life is average giving 4-5 hours on power saving mode when light browsing and watching videos.

Very disappointed at the lifespan of this laptop, purchased in April 2023 and was used for a maybe 1-3 of hours of gaming a week. As of around a month ago it began overheating and instantly shutting down within minutes of launching a game and progressed to being unable to stay on to even run web browser, run diagnostics or bios updates without powering off with no warning due to overheating.

I travel for a living so sold my asus g15 advantage and got this... Better performance, easier to carry... nobody talks about the power bricks but this 240W with a flexible cord is so much nicer to pack than the 280W from the advantage edition and doesn't even compare to the massive 300W the legion comes with... Please don't buy a thin and light with a 12th gen I9 then complain the fans are loud... game with headphones... If you want/need something portable this laptop is awesome, for someone who doesn't carry the laptop too much you may check out the strix g15

Bought this to do photo editing on, I run Adobe Lightroom classic and it’s worked pretty well, only crashed once but works smooth for the most part. Still a much better option than buying a Mac.

Replace my aging desktop with this machine. Battery life leave a a bit to be desired but that’s to be expected with the video card sucking so much power. Works well for streaming and video editing. If you can find it on sale I wouldn’t hesitate to grab one if it fits your needs.

Pretty darn good gamer but it gets HOT as in hot to the touch on the keys while gaming...know this. I might even return it because it gets so hot to the touch...nervous about the temps for sure.

The computer sells for $2,150, and I saw it on sale for $1,500 and let me tell you that the deal was totally worth it, the i9 and the powerful RTX 3070 ti at 120w you can play for favorite games on ultra with high fps. Pros: 60+ fps on ultra and raytracing on some of the newer games. (I say some because there are few you might have to go high instead of ultra, and tweak some settings to get 60fps) Competitive games, not problem you are gonna get 165+ fps Screen is beautiful with the 16:10 500* nits Speakers are amazing Keyboard is also really good ROG signature is also really good and easy to use. Cons: it’s a gaming computer and it obviously going to be loud, but who doesn’t use headphones when gaming? It gets warm but not hot like many say in their reviews, at least not playing Dead Space and Howarts or Fortnite Overall it’s a great machine if you get a deal and let me tell you I am way happier with this laptop than I was with my Razer Blade 3070, So if you can, get it !!!

This computer is a budget-friendly beast. No issues. Fan is very loud.

Love this laptop. As reviewed on the Youtube Channel Short Circuit, this laptop's keyboard is just top tier! The battery life on Ultimate (MUX Enabled, dedicated GPU Only) is super low, maybe about an hour. However, on standard or optmized mode, the laptop can run about 4 hours well! The touchpad is large and super great to use and the audio is STELLAR! Definetely configure Dolby Sound and set the soundstage to wide and it is incredible. I highly recommend this laptop, but note: 1. This doesn't qualify for ASUS extended warranty and must be bought through Best Buy instead 2. The Build quality is mostly great, but one corner started freying a bit within 2 months of purchasing it but never spread further. 3. The laptop get's loud enough to lift a small cat when in Turbo mode but this is definetely worth it as it allows for higher clocks on the GPU and CPU when running. Silent mode is also available for less FPS. 4. RGB is not per key which is definetely disappointing. 5. Screen is NOT HDR. It is an 8-bit panel with HDR decoding through Dolby Vision

A little pricey but runs great and the bloat isn't too bad.

Laptop is great. Beautiful screen and very fast. During gaming the fans on turbo sound like a jet engine. I recommend keeping the profile to performance or windows only

This laptop is awesome, but like everyone points out, the fan noise is pretty loud.

This is my first and will be my last gaming laptop for years to come because i havent played one game where it tested out the laptops full potential, absolute beast

I’m not one to make review but I can’t express how much I absolutely love this laptop! I was a bit hesitant spending this much and how it would compare to my home build system and this laptop did not disappoint! I would recommend this to those looking for a long term laptop and have already recommended this to family and friends!

For what it is, its a powerhouse and a great machine. The only downside is the design of the heating vents. The vents shoot the heat directly at the bottom of the screen. So your screen is being blasted with 100+ degrees when gaming and running high intensive programs. Typically at the bottom of the screen is a daughterboard for the screen which has its chips and connectors. This concerns me quite a bit as im wondering how long its going to last. Short term, the reviews are correct. Im already experiencing lcd bleed at the bottom. Reason of mentioning, I think its due to the design of the fans blowing heat on it...

Main issue is that it has a single ddr slot and 8gb soldered on. Doesnt seem to be any way to set memory speed so its probably locked to the soldered in speed.
