There's nothing to dislike about this laptop. It's fast, reliable, and never crash,

Had it for a while now, and it runs great. Surprised how smooth everything runs. One of the best laptops I've purchased

Great Laptop, lightweight and fast! Good starter gaming laptop.

Me & my adult son are in love with laptop! Gaming on a whole new level! It exceeded my expectations! Love the monitor screen, fast & responsive. Definitely would recommend.

Everything i expected and a little more. Excellent speed and memory.

Good battery life, runs multiple monitors and programs with ease

I want to rate this 5 stars, but will be giving it only 3 because I imagine not everyone here will be as tech savvy and will want a ready-to-go laptop for this price. Long story short- Buy this for the hardware and do a 100% CLEAN windows install! Get rid of all ASUS programs! This laptop will run 100% better without them! Also, wait to get this on sale for 750. Don't buy it for more! The GOOD: 1: The 165hz IPS screen looks fantastic and feels amazing- it's super smooth and does not glitch(I've had glitching issues with Dell and HP high hz screens). I have not needed to perform any color syncing. The matte finish on the screen is just right- not too much to dull out pixels, but just enough to remove glare. It's spot on! 2: AMD Ryzen 7000 Series CPU & GPU are hard to beat at this price. 3: Storage/Memory: I've heard that certain models come set up differently, but mine has two slots for 2280 M.2 SSDs(one used and one empty slot), and has two slots for DDR5 4800 ram(dual 8gb sticks). 4: Keyboard: feels okay. I love trackpads that are placed central to the palm rest areas, but I wish the keyboard was also central to the trackpad location. They made the trackpad nice and large, but the space bar is too far to the left and you always accidentally touch the trackpad when typing. I would rather lose the keypad and place everything central design-wise than have this issue. The keyboard lighting isn't the best, and the excess light bleed around the bottom of the keys makes it distracting to use. 5: Trackpad. The trackpad is nice and large, and feels super smooth when moving the mouse cursor. Having owned a few Macbook Pros, I can definitively say that this trackpad is absolutely fine. The BAD: In order for worst to not so bad. 1: I have owned countless computers, and currently own 7 laptops. This is the worst computer I've ever owned when it comes to being a fingerprint magnet. The black topcase finish is like glue to fingerprints- no matter how OCD you are about preventing them! 2: The ASUS TUF series comes preloaded and set up with a bunch of ASUS programs that are known to cause problems with freezing. Seems to be luck of the draw. For whatever the reason, there are drivers that don't cooperate well with each other and cause hardware issues. The biggest issue is that the computer will COMPLETEY freeze while it goes into sleep or hibernate mode. When this happens, the CPU remains on at a constant load. The computer heats up, and will keep going until it either dies, or you try to wake it up. The only way to wake it up is to hold down the power button and cycle it off/on. There's no other way. If this issue were only seen on ASUS, I would say to avoid this laptop, but it is seen with all manufacturers and from experience, a clean install of windows is usually the way to go. The best way to fix this issue is to perform a true clean install of windows. This means install windows with ZERO other programs! Then you add individual drivers for hardware you need. Windows does a fine job of automatically finding compatible drivers for the hardware components, so AMD is really the only driver you really need to manually install for peak performance and to output video through the USB C port. 3. ASUS bloatware. The stupid ASUS programs really do nothing good except take up resources and cause crashes. There is ZERO need to have them installed except to make you feel special about having controls over everything. Just let the computer manage itself. They are not needed. It's best to perform a clean install of windows and let the drivers run the hardware as intended. Once you do this, it's crazy how smooth the whole system runs! Zero glitches! 4. The bottom case: The bottom case is made out of cheap and hard plastic to resemble "TUF". Personally, I normally wouldn't mind this, but it bothers me when someone else feels the bottom of this laptop and mentions how cheap it feels. Having taken this laptop apart, I can say the plastic at least feels tougher than most other plastics used in other laptops, but it just gives off this cheap feeling when touching or looking at it. I wish it would have been designed a little better. Overall Opinion: Buy this laptop when it's on sale. The hardware you get for the price is hard to beat! Perform a true clean install of Windows and enjoy a really good laptop that should last a while.

Great gaming laptop. Excellent graphics, great speed. He loves it.

Got this on Black Friday for a steal! Love the look and runs great!

Fast as heck! Great lappie for the $$$. Great battery life, definitely recommend!

Great computer! Runs good, graphics are good & no lag. Super happy!

Am using this laptop for more than one year. The performance of this laptop is beyond expectations. Not once I found any issue. I would strongly recommend anyone to buy this.

The mousepad wore down to glass in some areas after about 90 days making it unusable and the battery quit working inside of a year. So I found out the hard way ASUS denies several types of total protection warranty coverage offered to regular consumers when you purchase their products at Best Buy. I went to talk to the local Best Buy to discuss this and apparently, there's nothing they can do about that. It's disappointing after buying products from both companies for about 25 years. I've never really had problems like this before. I had falsely assumed I was still dealing with companies that supported their products. The speed, performance, and design of the laptop are really good. With a cheaply designed touchpad, not having a working battery or support from the manufacturer or retailer for those defects, it's a pretty useless product. My recommendation is to add in the cost of a service plan for what should be considered manufacturer defects, and you might get that for no extra cost at other retailers. It's difficult for me to say it hasn't lowered my opinion of both companies but I don't think I would buy ASUS products in the future period because this is a pretty sketchy policy. I had no idea that I had to research if manufacturers fully support purchases at Best Buy.

Amazing has functioned perfectly since I got it amazing screen and good battery life

almost as good as my tower. Could use a bigger hd.

Great computer! Fast, fun. No problems. Great gaming compiter

Perfect for our teenage son. He loves gaming on it. It’s super fast. He loves the keyboard so much he got rid of his gaming keyboard. We did have to buy a mouse to make it easier for him. He also uses it for school work. There was enough room in it for him to download two large games.
