    Great computer with fast start up and nice hardware tools with the armory app. mostly use for Second life which it runs fantasticly, even have to limit frame rate to keep it from running so fast. has nice keyboard feel thats good for typing. case is more durable in this and other TUF Gaming units I have had.

    Decent mid level gaming laptop. I like the form factor and looks of this laptop. I do wish it had 32GB or more of ram as anything considered "gaming" should have at this amount in 2025.

    Great laptop in regards to its capabilities and compactness, the CPU and GPU both provide a great experience in gaming or simple workloads. A compact, yet powerful device.

    Its a good computer, definitely crashes when it gets overheated which is pretty often even with a cooling pad. Other than that if you dont play to heavy of games you'll be good.

    It is Really a Good PC. Runs a little on the Hot side but I was going to find an Asus utility like Acer's Nitro 5's Nitro Sense and use the "Cool Boost" option of all-out cooling during gaming or CPU intense applications.

    First unit had to be returned after a week of use, as it got stuck in a self-repair loop, but BB replaced it without issue, and the 2nd unit is working perfectly.

    Not a zen5 processor, but can get the job done. RX 7700S is a great GPU, but cannot be optimized (undervolt/overclocking) as desktop AMD GPUs. The laptop has great quality, while somewhat light for a gaming laptop.
