No RGB keyboard (Best Buy lie) not enough RAM.

Okay machine but has a RAM bottleneck right out of the box with only 16GB of RAM. That is just enough for office work under windows 11. I had to upgrade this machine to 32GB of RAM to make it functional as a reasonable high performance machine. (Max for the machine is 64 GB) This seems to be a running issue with most windows 11 machines. RAM that was factory installed was higher frequency than this machine can use. Factory installed is 5600 Mhz when max spec is 4800 Mhz. (System will automatically cap speed to 4800Mhz) (star removed for out of the box performance issue)
Battery life is good for a high power machine and you can easily tune down the machine for battery life.
Due to being a packet style battery, the smart charge function should be enabled as these batteries have the longest life when only charged to 80%
As stated in the title, Best Buy is flat lying about the RGB keyboard. This model NEVER had an RGB keyboard and Best Buy made this false spec up and never fixed the issue of it falsely saying it has an RGB keyboard. Best Buy knowingly falsely advertised this laptop as this issue was brought up in the early reviews of this laptop. (Star deduction for false advertisement)
This is a good machine to build off of but,
I would expect to have to upgrade this out of the box. Keep that in mind if you are thinking about getting it. Never pay more than $800 for this unit. (Not worth it with the needed upgrades beyond that and it goes on sale regularly)

Excellent laptop especially when on sale. I got it at $750 I believe. It's easily upgraded for an additional 2 hundred dollars or so to make it much more worth the sticker price. Double the ram and add an additional pcie 4.0 SSD and it will play any game on high settings. Max out the ram and it will do vr. The USB 4.0 slot doesn't work with thunderbolt though unfortunately. Everything else is great. Enjoy!

This is the “all-around” laptop I was looking for. The RAM can be upgraded to 64 GB. It has an extra SSD slot internally for expanded storage. The build quality is solid and sturdy.

I’m so happy I chose this configuration! I previously had a desktop with a RTX 3060/Ryzen 3600 but the RX 7700S performs 30-40 FPS better in the games (FPS) I usually play! From what I see, the RX 7700S is similar to a RTX 4070 (mobile) in gaming performance. Just a thicker laptop if you don’t mind. Totally happy for the price when you can find it on sale for $850. I’m a happy, Best Buy customer!

Chuck Norris did what?

Why did Chuck Norris challenge his Asus gaming computer to a race?
Because he heard it had a "Turbo" button, and he wanted to see if it could keep up with him!
I’m here every Wednesday. lol
I got this Asus gaming computer, and let me tell you, it's like no other computer I've ever had. It's seriously the best one out there. I'm so blown away by how fast and reliable it is that I've decided to stick with Asus from now on. Even though it's made for gaming, I use it for my business stuff, and it's a total game-changer. The processing power and all the fancy features have really stepped up my productivity game. It's like having the Chuck Norris of computers in my office. It's that good.

Great laptop, Temps are quite bearable, fans decently bearable, don’t even bother me since I wear earphones. Great performance, although the software for performance control is an absolute nightmare, sometimes games get locked at 60 fps for no reason, a quick fix i found was to install amd adrenalin and use hyperfx config, also cap your battery and 80% if its gonna be plugged in. Awesome keyboard, the screen gives me a very comfortable workstation vibe, good touchpad.

I have been LOVING this laptop!! It runs so fast and smoothly for all that I do on it. It even runs all my games that I like to play super smoothly also!! Such a great laptop! When gaming I have to keep it plugged in the whole time because the battery drains pretty fast. I wish the battery lasted long but that’s the only thing so far that I don’t like.

I really enjoy this gaming laptop, the graphics are great. I feel like for the price you can’t beat it. I play games like Fortnite, COD, CSGO, etc. and I haven’t had any issues. It runs really smoothly. My only complaint is I had issues with charging/motherboard but they ordered me a replacement with no hesitation because I have the Best Buy membership. However I did buy it open box.

I purchased the ASUS - TUF Gaming A16 16" 165Hz Gaming Laptop FHD-AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS with 16GB DDR5 Memory- Radeon RX7700S 512GB PCIe SSD - Off Black in February 2025. The screen is so clear, and the keyboard has a great back light. The games I've played are way better than any other gaming pc. Great product, great service, great experience.

 This laptop, that my expectations. Looking at the reviews, I looked at the bad reviews first, and I swear I was going to get a defective computer, but it turns out I didn’t if you win the lottery of not getting a defective computer. It’s amazing. The computer can run almost every game at 200 FPS. Yeah battery life sucks if you’re gaming on the go, but that’s a no-brainer. What I’m gonna do is game at home, and take this computer to work, to work…  people writing a bad review, we’re just unlucky. It’s the first one you buy is defective. Just go to Best Buy and replace it with the same one to get a non-defective computer.
