    • Screaming Performance, but it may not be for everyone
CPU: Ryzen 7 5800H RAM Size: 16 GB Hard Disk Size: 1 TB Graphics Description: RTX 3080 Style: Windows 10
The good: Great CPU/GPU performance even for the price. The screen is bright and clear, glare isn't an issue. Ungradable in terms of RAM and SDD storage. Slim and lightweight but feels solid and high quality. The fans are quiet under normal usage and not terrible under heavy gaming. The bad: The often mentioned "clicky" keyboard isn't for everyone. The style, although the lights can be turned off or made more neutral isn't for everyone. No camera. The key thing is sort of odd. The maybe good or bad depending on how you look at it: You can't really get the full performance out of the 3080 without an external 4k monitor... However if you are using an external 4k monitor then you can get more performance. Summary: On the last note, everything looks and plays just great on the built-in screen. However it doesn't benchmark any better than 3060/3070. With a 4k screen though is a different story. Maybe something to keep in mind if you are only planning on using the built-in screen. (Which again looks great.) Otherwise, it has been a solid and reliable laptop. I do gaming but also software development heavily using the GPU. I think the lack of a camera is the only sort of inconvenient thing. ... show more

    • Love this laptop!
CPU: Ryzen 9 5900HX RAM Size: 16 GB Hard Disk Size: 1 TB Graphics Description: RTX 3080 Style: Windows 10
I was in the market for a new laptop and knew I wanted something reasonably powerful with an AMD processor. This checked all the boxes and wasn't too heavy or big. I also knew I intended to upgrade the storage and memory straight away so I wasn't too picky about the M.2 or memory configuration. That said 16GB of memory is solid for most things you can do although I have no idea about the timings it is running in dual channel so speed is optimized right out of the box. I purchased 64GB of Corsair Vengeance SODIMMs (2x32GB) with CL20 timing and they worked right out of the box with no issues whatsoever. The disk space at 1TB isn't fantastic but most people could probably get by with this and be just fine, I produce music on the road and also play games to pass the time. I ended up purchasing two 2TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVMe drives and upgraded the C drive to 2TB and added a 2TB D drive as well. This isn't for the feint of heart as it requires you to reinstall Windows 10 and to reinstall all of the laptop specific/platform specific drivers. While it's not too hard, it's not a beginner friendly option. I can't comment on the performance between the stock NVMe drive and the replacements but I can say it boots insanely fast and run extremely well. I also upgraded Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro with a legitimate pro key from Microsoft for $99 on their website. I know you can find cheaper keys but I really don't trust them and anyway $99 isn't soul crushingly expensive and I like the peace of mind I get knowing it's completely legitimate and I won't ever have any problems with it. This process was smooth and super easy and took all of 5 minutes to complete. The keyboard on the laptop is probably the best laptop keyboard I've ever used, the key travel isn't much but it's tactile and a little clicky. I love mechanical keyboards so it's a nice touch here and the keyboard doesn't feel the least bit mushy like some laptop keyboards can be. I also must say the LEDs are bright and look fantastic. Though I can't help but feel Asus may have gone a little overboard with the RGB you can turn off unwanted RGB elements so I can't really complain about it and it looks amazing in the dark. Laptop thickness and weight is just fine as well as the overall dimension of the laptop and it's not bad lugging through airports on using on planes. My previous laptop was a 17" and I wasn't in love with the size or weight. 15.6" seems spot on for a laptop you intend to take with you everywhere. It's also extremely solidly built, there's no creaking or weird sounds coming out of the mechanical bits of the chassis and the hinges on the screen are extremely supportive and when typing the screen isn't jiggling around. You put the screen up and it's rock solid and that is fantastic as far as I'm concerned. The numeric keypad on the mouse track pad seems OK but I haven't really used it for much but it does function well enough though it kind of feels "gimmicky" to me. My only hardware gripe is I wish it has a couple more USB ports but that's minor as you can easily add a hub. I haven't used a laptop with a "mux" (I think that's what it's called) switch but I like that the laptop uses the built in graphics when it doesn't need all the power of the 3080 which helps with heat and power. If it gives up a few frames in a game I'm personally OK with that sacrifice to get more time when on battery. I can't comment on any bloatware that might come installed on the laptop as I removed the original 1TB NVMe m.2 drive before I even powered on the laptop and upgraded as stated above. I do however find Asus Armory Crate and Aura Creator lacking. The laptop stats screen is great and informative, but I feel the color settings are clunky and either lacking in much customization options, or overly complex in Aura Creator. With regards to Aura Creator it's apparently extremely buggy and I can't actually apply a custom created color which is annoying I get an error doing this. I don't like Armory Crate on my desktop and apart from the laptop stats page, I don't like it on my laptop either. ... show more

    • Strongly recommend you buy another brand
CPU: Ryzen 7 5800H RAM Size: 16 GB Hard Disk Size: 1 TB Graphics Description: RTX 3080 Style: Windows 10
Got this Laptop late December of 2021. This is the first time I ever tried a "ROG" laptop. Didn't really use it religiously till about April 2022 while waiting for parts of my desktop. It was nice and powerful. Played Monster Hunter World in 4k 60fps. Chilvary in max settings with 144fps. Gears 4 and 5 same thing. Just about any game I had this laptop can handle. It was fine for a good 9 months till Jan of 2023. For some reason the CPU just crapped out on me. Never did anything differently than I usually do. Took it to a repair shop, told me they can't fix it due to the CPU issue. Never got a warranty for it so that's 2K wasted. Reading various online reviews as well as reddit post, it seems ROG systems do not last long and I will never buy one again. But apparently the budget version TUF series people praise a lot. And to add onto the fact that I am typing this review on my ASUS TUF which I've been using since 2018 tells me everything I need to know about recommending that version. ... show more
