Great laptop for games and graphics software
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome laptop for the price. Got it on a sale for around 750. It runs every game and program I want it to without problem. I will upgrade it later but it would have been nice to have more storage, USB ports or SD card ports. There wasn't as much bloat to uninstall as I expected there to be, either. But, there still was some.

Great gaming laptop
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First gaming laptop, very impressed by price to performance. Currently stuck on bed rest and cant use my pc. Loaded up helldivers 2 changed some gpu settings in amd, changed power mode to full in the asus app, after changes fps hit a low of 55, didnt notice a bit of stutter. Mafia 3 albiet an older game was running between 80 and 115. This is all at settings of mostly high and 1920 by 1200 in both games.

Very powerful and priced right.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lets start by saying I went through 3 laptops before settling on this one. Alienware M16 R2, Lenovo, and HP all running i7 or 7 ultra with 4070. Every one had 25 updates. The Lenovo took forever to update. Needless to say they all got returned within 48 hours of ownership. Was about to give up all together but said why not. ASUS is what my dad had before and it served well back in the early 2000s. So i got home and plugged it in. Set it up and only 10 updates needed. Figured it would take a while. Maybe 4 minutes and the laptop was up to date with egerything including the drivers. I was impressed. Restarted it thinking it would be like the alienware take forever to load up, but no. Maybe 20 seconds and was already opening tabs and documents. Im giving this a 5 star for sure. I also like the fact it has a very sturdy screen, dedicated number pad, two usb c ports, ethernet port, and can be upgraded in both Ram and storage. The ram and storage upgrades are huge. Not many other laptops allow storage upgrade compatibility. Just recommend getting on sale and you will have a favorite for sure.

Great for Gaming, not so Great Hardware
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this Laptop about 6 months ago and already within the first few months the touchpad is unresponsive and I have to use an external mouse to use my computer. The laptop crashes sometimes due to the switching of GPU to APU and vice versa. The screws are all loose and a few have fallen out despite me tightening them (I've never opened/loosened them before). Other than all the hardware problems, I do love this Laptop's ability to run games smoothly at high quality for the price I got it at.

If you're not sure about hardware, pick this one!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With the included specification, just by default, I consider this to be a very strong mid tier piece of hardware. As a gaming enthusiest and AMD nerd, I take this with me when I travel and so far I've had nothing but good things to say about it. It was excellent purchase for the price. I picked mine up while it was on sale and I couldn't be happier with it. With the direction of computer hardware these days, I intend to have this laptop for a very long time.

Great Laptop
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am really enjoying my new laptop. I like the ease of typing and the quickness of playing games. The only thing I am struggling with is that sometimes the sound is very low and it is turned all the way up. Not use if that is a YouTube thing or a computer thing, but I didn't seem to have that issue on my old laptop.

Pretty decent laptop for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I left the review at 3 stars as is for an average laptop. My only complaint with this laptop is that all the games that I play is bottlenecked hard by the cpu. Maybe I got a dud but I bought this brand new for college and some mild gaming, I do however have a desktop with a 3080ti. Again, decent laptop but the cpu is bottlenecking the awesome Gpu that it comes with. Do not get this if ur sole purpose is to game. If you are gaming, you are looking at sub par performance and you will need to lower expectations/settings a lot unless you’re playing old games. Everything else is great, a lot of things you can customize. Upgraded ram and ssd.

Posted .Dear Aaron,
We appreciate your honest 3-star review and valuable feedback on your A16. We understand your disappointment when gaming performance doesn't fully align with expectations, especially coming from a desktop environment. Your observation about the CPU bottleneck is noted, and it highlights the balance between components necessary for a laptop designed for both college work and mild gaming. To help ensure you're getting the best possible performance, beyond checking for background apps and completing all pending updates in Armoury Crate and Windows, we advise: Confirming your power plan in Windows is set to 'High Performance' or the equivalent AMD Ryzen plan. Ensuring your display refresh rate is correctly set in Windows display settings.
Your feedback regarding the gaming experience is incredibly valuable for our product development. If these suggestions don't resolve your concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us at customerloyalty@asus.com for a deeper dive into your specific setup. Please include a link to this post and your laptop's serial number for reference.
Thank you for choosing ASUS!
