Customer Ratings & Reviews

I like this laptop a lot. At first I thought I was having a problem charging the battery because it constantly told me "plugged in not charging" but after the life got bellow 90-85% it would begin to charge. I guess that is to extend the life of the battery so don't be alarmed if yours says the same thing. The games I have so far are Diablo III, Elder Scrolls Online, and Dolphin Emulator. For Diablo I don't know the fps but I have the game at max settings and it runs very smooth, for Elder Scrolls Online I also have at max settings and the fps counter the game provides shows 85% of the time 60fps because I use VSync and never have I seen the game go bellow 30fps, as for Dolphin Emulator for my wii games I am currently running Zelda Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess almost flawlessly with 16/9 forced, 2X Native Resolution, 16X Anisotropic Filtering, and 4X SSAA. I could run it at 3X Native resolution without filters for 1080p quality but 2X with filters looks fine. Upping the native resolution makes the games I play on it look so much sharper lol imagine playing the Wii without jaggies kind of like a WiiU. FYI I own the games I play on my emulator and if you want to use the official Wii mote with sensor bar capabilities you have to get a USB powered sensor bar called Dolphin Bar. One of the main reasons I acquired this laptop is to game at high-ultra settings on all games to date on the go and so far this laptop has not let me down. One gripe I do have with this laptop is it only has one single 2.5 inch drive slot. I was told by Geek Squad that there was 2 so I got myself a 240gb ssd only to bust the warranty sticker and find out there was only one 2.5 inch drive slot and 3 M.2 slots. I was going to transfer my OS over to the ssd for a faster boot time but hey I'll just order a 1TB ssd when I get the money that way I can move everything over to it and have faster load times all around. The other 2 problems I have with this laptop is it is a fingerprint magnet and also like everyone on other reviews stated the mouse is very clicky but if you are getting this laptop to do what it is made to do (GAMING) then you will most likely be using a bluetooth or wired mouse. Also the battery life is horrid.I would say 2 hours max off the charge and that is without gaming but heck what can you expect with the hardware thats in this puppy

I purchased this computer for work, not for gaming. We run a lot of programs that would often slow down my old "basic" computer. I wanted something with lots of RAM and power to allow me to run these programs to run at the same time. I have, so far, had not issues with the laptop. The customize-able keyboard is nice and the screen is large and crisp. The "lid" of the laptop feels a bit flimsy and worry about it breaking but have not had an issue yet. The fans do get a bit loud at times but before you notice it they are winding down.

This laptop is great for your average gaming, the Intel core i7 and the gtx 965m will let you play most games to high-medium settings at 60 fps. As the 8gb ram allows for multitasking and high performance in demanding software. Overall, great product, runs smooth, no problems.

I had a massive Alienware tower that was loud and produced a lot of heat. I wanted to switch to a decent laptop but didn't want to sacrifice specs for ease of use. This laptop fit the ticket perfectly! Decent price, great specs. Fully recommend!

This laptop runs all my games perfectly. I only have one complaint which is the space bar. When typing you have to hit the center or close to it but in game it doesn't matter where you hit it.

This is a really fun computer. Great graphics, back-lit keyboard, and plenty fast to do anything I've tried on it so far.

This computers great because of the processor and graphics card.

Game playing OK but get hot fast not wroth 1300 hundreds!

Works great. I replaced HDD with SSD so everything works super fast and quiet. Good performance. No heating issues so far.

Laptop boots up extremely fast and can handle any program or game with ease. Great bargain price for a high-end laptop with lots of RAM. Beautiful 17 in screen.

Nice screen and solid build quality overall. Plays games very well. Runs fast and quiet. Stays cool enough. Some warmth on the left side of the keyboard under load but not bad. Custom keyboard is very nice looking but it has a bit of flex to the left. This does not include a mouse as advertised. More importantly the wireless card is NOT 2 x 2. It is the Intel AC 3160 which is an inferior 1 x 1 model. The card does not perform nearly as well as my old laptop on my Verizon network. Best speed I get is 45 mbps when my old laptop gets over 70 mbps right next to it. I am also having an issue with the right side of the space bar. It does not give me a space unless I put some extra pressure on the right side and it is getting pretty annoying. I am going to exchange it due to this issue.

WOW. This laptop is slimmer than the picture. I love the design. Its got an aluminium alloy body. Its not big and bulky like other gaming notebooks I've seen. The keyboard is solid and I love the multi color lights.

I bought this computer after i had issues with three previous Asus laptops, and this one does not disappoint it is powerful enough to surpass my desktop that is about 2 years old. This computer is amazing and most games i play i am a high to ultra setting geting an avg FFP of around 60 to -58 and a AVG FPS of about 45-50. which is amazing. the only draw back on this product is the battery life it last for about 1:30 to 2 Hours in normal use and 45 to an hour while using the GPU.

Great for graphics and processor heavy applications like Photoshop or Corel. The only draw I've had besides a little creaking in the touchpad area, is the abysmal battery life. Wouldn't be an issue if it didn't say on the site you could get 4 hours out of it. Even after trying MSI's battery calibration software, I was only able to get 2 hours max out of it when running things like Chrome or Spotify. About an hour on mre GPU taxing programs.

I searched for a 2in1 computer but none of them were good enough, so I decided that gaming can be much better on one of these computer and believe me this is computer great. Great price too.

its beautiful it just looks great and runs well I haven't installed any of my games yet but I am excited to I have used minecraft on it and it runs awesome.
