great gaming laptop
i am an almost 61 year old female gamer. i was shopping for a slightly cheaper gaming laptop but my son urged me to get the best i could afford. i am very happy with this rog laptop and it replaces an older rog which i have loved for about 5 years. it took some in depth tweaking by my son to enable my favorite games skyrim and fallout 4 to run. the problem seems to be they do not want to work at 300hz. this is very strange since i am able to play fallout new vegas at 300hz with no problems. so the graphics for skyrim and fallout 4 are the same quality as my old laptop but the graphics on new vegas are incredible. after more tweaking i am now able to play all my games without any problems.i love how lightweight this new asus is and the new cooling system but i will have to get used to the loud cooling fans. today is only my 3rd day of ownership and i am still getting used to the forward placement of the keyboard.my fingers keep hitting the wrong keys but i think this keyboard will be better for my arthritic left shoulder when playing games for more than a couple of hours at a time.another feature that i really like is the ability to use a type c power source. i will be ordering that very soon.

I like it
The laptop does run very hot if gaming but it’s not a big deal as the heat is between the keyboard and the screen. I like the everything about this system with the exception of one one SSD slot, wish it hard a second free slot.

Be prepared for quality issue and even worse warranty support
I bought the top of the line GX531 gaming laptop with RTX 2070 graphics card. The fan started to make clunking noise only a month later. Right before warranty expiration, I submitted RMA and sent it back for repair. I detailed the issue in RMA and request them to REPLACE the fan, since many people on a laptop forum had similar issue, and mentioned it had to be replaced.A month later it was ‘repaired’ and sent back. Only a week later, the fan noise came back and hunting me like a ghost everyday since then. Fast forward six months, the noise become so loud that I have to shut down the laptop, and restart it. It may make it better, or not. So I reached out to Asus support again, requesting a RMA. I stressed that this is a lingering issue because Asus didn’t replace the fan at first attempt. However, after going back and forth with the CS for almost a hour, he initially agreed to issue RMA, then changed his mind a couple mins later, and ask me to pay for ‘DIAGNOSTIC FEE’ of 85 bucks first. I was laughing because I have done that for Asus already, twice.I tried my best to make this right and reasonable, but the CS kept asking for payment. I didn’t know what made him back-stepping on earlier agreement.So now, I’m trying to look for replacement parts on eBay and AliExpress, and hopefully I can get a good fan first.Will I ever buy an ASUS laptop? Yes, only if it’s dirty cheap. After your purchase, be prepared for these quality issues and the hustle of dealing with Asus support/repair.

I love this laptop ( used for gaming and programming ).
I love that the keyboard sits up front, for programmers that type all day this is a must.10/10The keyboard quality is good-not-great. If you’re hoping for a mechanical keyboard I think Acer Triton 900 is the best option.8.5/10The graphics are amazing, I’ve only had one or two games stutter at max settings.9/10The design feels great, quality of materials are good, the raised bottom does well to keep it cool. Strangely though the USB ports are awful, very hard to get the USB A plugs to plug in. The rest are fine, just the USB A ports.6.5/10Battery life is incredible for what it is I played for almost 45 minutes a graphics intensive game without realizing it was unplugged.9.5/10Overall9/10I love it.
