    Purchased for my son as a gaming laptop, It did not hold up well at all. It was sent off twice due to malfunctioning fans and finally on the 3rd time, Best Buy let me do a return and I used it to purchase him a PC. Best Buy Total Protection was worth the purchase because this laptop was not worth the money.

    Almost a month in and already having issues. I replaced this with Zephyrus ROG 16 that was also having a bunch of annoying issues. PROS: - battery life - design - weight CONS: - high temps - stopped working for external screen using usb-c (ongoing issue) - annoying quirks with chrome - constant freezing issues with Capcut

      If you already have the latest BIOS version installed, we recommend contacting our support team at https://www.asus.com/us/support/CallUs to further investigate the problems you're experiencing or to assist with getting the device repaired.

    The CSR rep was so helpful to explain all the models. We chose this one because we were able to get exactly what we wanted. It's not only powerful, but bet light and stylish.

    Good keyboard. Performance is ok. 24GB is just enough these days. They don't have the while color with 32GB RAM. Screen is good. But it turns very bright when waking up. After input the screen returns to normal. Weird. Also disable all the AI stuff (for screen, audio). Those are buggy.
