What do I like about this laptop?-Value for money: you won't find a laptop that looks and feels this good for the price with the specs.Build quality: immaculate. It's not metal, but it's damn tight nonetheless. No screen or keyboard flex, and it feels as solid as a brick-- not overly heavy, just solidly built.Screen quality: amazing. The 240hz display really shines, and the colors are very accurate and vivid. Some other laptops in this price range only cover about 60% of the srgb color gamut, but this one is very close to, if not 100%. For a gamer or someone not doing precise art or visual editing, this is fantastic. Response time is great at 3ms.The included asus software is intuitive for the most part, but I do still have to mess around with it a little bit to master some of the more advanced settings.Thermals: the thermals are typically in a very good range, even under load. I don't own a desk, so I have it resting on my bed when gaming-- that's typically bad for cooling. However, I've kept an eye on the temps, and it hasn't yet gone into a range where I felt it was in danger of throttling. The computer itself stays cool to the touch too, with the exception of the heat vents.Fan noise: even at full speed, they're not annoying. They don't have the higher pitch that some other laptops have (ex: acer helios 300). And when you put them on silent mode? They're inaudible.The keyboard will take some getting used to, I think? But it's still good. The arrow keys are shrunk a little, and I often hit the caps lock key instead of the a key. Also-- can't find the number lock key to turn the trackpad into a touch numberpad? Not a big issue, but very confusing.The lights: very flashy! They aren't as reactive as I'd like when put into music mode, but I'm sure I'll live lol.All in all, there's a few minor things that I'm not crazy about, but I still love that laptop. 9.5/10 from me!

The media could not be loaded. i use this laptop for ARK gaming, on steam and it looked very nice playing on high/ epic settings, and the water and sky were amazing, and to be honest its really fast, Youtube music on settings it will play on 4k 2160p so smooth.... and when you play music the lights will go with the music beat. i will recommend this laptop to anyone that likes the awesome lights and the speed...to be honest, ima order another one.

The screen is more flimsy than I would like for the price, but though it doesn’t have a ton of bells and whistles, it works extremely well for the causal gaming I do on it. I enjoy the high-detailed games like RDR2 and Cyberpunk, and with some minor adjustments, they run at solid FPS and quality.

Update.... so I still love this laptop however there is one major issue. If you want to play portable (without the charger) you Cannot play in turbo mode. That means for games like destiny 2 you would get 30/50 frames. When you have it plugged in and on turbo you get in the low 100s so double the frames. Just something to think about if you are wanting to play without having to be plugged in.I have only had this for 1 day officially so I will go over first impressions and update if anything changes.1.) Performance: i have a Desktop PC with a I7-9700k and 2080 Super. It feels like equal Performance and I appear to be getting comparable FPS. The Sound is ok better then most monitor speakers.2.) Battery: while its expected on gaming laptops not on the charger running turbo you may get 2 hours (maybe) there are worse batteries out there so on high performance 2 hours is generous. If you are playing without power kick back to performance mode (you may lose some FPS) but you might get another 20-30 minutes of battery.3.) Fans: you can change the fan level extremely easy. Silent is 100% quiet. Performance mode you can hear it slightly but not loud enough to bother you. Turbo (what should be used while gaming) is noticeably loud however not as loud as other similarly priced models so I was shocked there.4.) Weight: it is very heavy. Its not so heavy that you can't transport it easily but its noticeably heavier then you would expect. Not a deal breaker.5.) RGB: if you are really into RGB this Laptop may have been made for you. RGB is nice but I bought it more for the Performance. I Generally turn RGB off but it looks great on this laptop so I left it in Static.Overall: since its only been 1 day I can't say if it's 100% worth it but after my first day I am going to say it is. I have not experienced any noticeable issues while gaming it has been running cool while under load. I would buy this again if I was still on the market.

I love this computer, bought it 2 years ago and have been using it ever since. Its been great for anything from schoolwork, to gaming, to making games with unreal engine! I've had a problem that basically started right after I got it however, and its been extremely frustrating. Every time I move the power cord while its plugged in to the computer, even a little accidental jostle, it stops charging. It makes it super annoying to use the laptop while plugged in, and since the laptop only has like 2 hours of battery life unplugged, it is a massive issue I've had with it. I still need to find a replacement power cord, and since all of the power cords I've seen don't look exactly like the original, and since they cost around 80-100 dollars, I haven't replaced it. I can live with the issue, but its really annoying. Other than that issue, the laptop runs great, runs kind of hot however, so I do not recommend using it directly on your lap much, a desk or table is much better. Love the fan adjustment button, and the RGB looks great! Runs vr pretty well, although gets really hot, and runs unreal well too. Overall I would recommend, as I think the power cord in mine is just defective or something.
