poor construction
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It runs great, but the plastic around the screen started pulling apart near the hinge then completely broke just after the 1 year warranty. It still works but I have to be super careful with it. I don't use it every day maybe weekly. Just never expected the laptop to plastic to break just from opening and closing it.

Has issues - mainly with MUX switch.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop has good performance but has issues. The first issue I was able to fix and that was with the mousepad. The ASUS mousepad driver causes the mouse to spaz out and move in involuntarily directions, making it unusable for daily use. The work around for this was to uninstall the ASUS mousepad driver and use a generic windows driver in Windows device manager. This fixed the mousepad completely and issue has not returned since. The main problem I am having with this laptop that I haven't been able to fixed is software MUX Switch. When I choose the "Ultimate" in ARMORY CRATE for Power settings (to use the dGPU 100%), the laptop does not want to switch to it. It crashes and with the newer AMD driver the screen just gets messed up. This forces me to stay stuck having the dGPU go through the iGPU which is not what I want while gaming. This also forces me to stay on a outdated driver if I do want a chance of it working. I would say everything else is fine, but that was a major drawback for me. It still has not been fixed yet and don't know when if it will be. Would recommended a different laptop for this very reason.
