It's a good laptop.My first time buying from ROG and I'd say it has been a good buy.The laptop runs everything I throw at it well. I stream edit and work from this computer.The battery is not great during gaming of course. But for mild tasks like note taking surfing the web etc. It does great and is plenty for me during my classes at college.It can get hot while gaming but I always have a little stand for it when I game.The fans and the system it advertises does alot better then I expected and overall is cooler then most laptops I see.Also it looks nice.

This laptop has been good. Good WiFi connectivity is good. Have not had any problem with connectivity. Since this is a gaming laptop the keyboard can have different colored lights. The gaming keys, qwerasdf are reverse lighted, so if I am typing in the dark it is good but in light it can be difficult to see the keys. Durability has been good. I carry it in a padded computer bag. It has a good weight so if you are looking for a light weight computer this would not be good. Cooling is very good for a gaming laptop. I can keep the laptop on my legs without it getting really hot. Design and layout is good. Monitor connection to based looks very good. It has a regular Ethernet port not the collapsible type in thin laptops which I like.

It's a big and beautiful laptop that slurps up all games like jam while staying very quiet by laptop standards. Expect high framerates and few frame dips thanks to high CPU limits, but with a few caveats.Pros:1. It is insanely fast and quiet. Balanced mode fans are around 40 dB (about as quiet as a desktop) but you can make them run much louder in Turbo mode.2. Good display. The 165Hz screen is quite good and fast, slightly better gamut then my previous laptop. The 16:10 ratio is also really nice for games and productivity apps. Mine has a slight green tint but only when using the iGPU, switching to Nvidia removes it. Which means it's probably a software issue (see "Cons" below)3. It runs cool. While playing endgame Dyson Sphere Program (basically a CPU stress test) the CPU doesn't even reach 80 degrees and manages to squeeze out 60+ fps where my old Ryzen 7 4800H would crap out and struggle to cough up 35 fps.Cons:1. Asus software is horrible, it's like it was coded by interns. This is the main reason I took one star off the review, out of the box MyAsus and Armoury Crate hog CPU and RAM and are constantly fighting against Windows' settings and each other. They can cause constant freezes and weird bugouts like the screen colors going haywire. Even after replacing them with G Helper, there are still a few lingering issues I have to be wary of.2. Bad battery life. Out of the box it runs like 5 hours max, 4 hours if you disable the screen battery saver (60 Hz is nauseating). Definitely going to need to lug that huge power brick around.3. The middle fan is very high-pitched like the ones you'd find in thinner laptops. It can be distracting for some, personally I'm on the fence. It is still very quiet and even gets drowned out by external speakers or headphones.4. Gaudy design. The lightbar is obviously annoying and the keys are pretty much unreadable without backlight on, which I really hate. The 4-zone RGB keyboard is also poorly executed, it looks patchy and has very limited color range. Typing on it feels very good though, it has full-size keys, high travel and good feedback. I just wish it had a numpad or a dedicated Home, End, PgUp and PGDown keys, there's a lot of wasted space on the deck.Overall I'm still very happy with my package, would recommend it to anyone who wants a well cooled laptop with insanely high performance with a tradeoff of portability and battery.And Asus, please fix your damn software.
