Question 1

what version of windows 10 (pro, home, etc.)?

Accepted Answer

Windows 10 Home, still the laptop is an amazing value if you can get it at the same price of $1299! All you really loose with Win 10 Home is remote desktop.

Question 2

is the 12 gb of ram installed in just one socket?

Accepted Answer

Hi i bought this laptop and the ram used both socket, a 4gb and a 8gb is installed.

Question 3

What speed is the included ram?

Accepted Answer

PC4-19200

Question 4

What is the battery life for this when not gaming?

Accepted Answer

I only use it plugged in, but all the reviews I read prior to buying it said close to 4 hours web browsing, that you should be able to watch a full movie, and about one hour gaming. I suspect if you change the cpu power settings like I posted you might get even more, that CPU should be able to do movies and web browsing at 25 or 40%, it would also be super quiet then too. I hope that helps

Question 5

Is this easy to replace internal hardware incase of drive or RAM failure?

Accepted Answer

The entire bottom removes with about a dozen screws and yes, RAM and hard drive are easily accessible and upgradable.

Question 6

How's the cooling for both GPU and CPU?

Accepted Answer

seems fine to me.  i've had the laptop for a couple of weeks now and it handles games quite well.  i highly recommend headphones or earbuds.  while pretty quiet during web browsing or movie watching, the fans kick into high gear for gaming.

Question 7

Does this have a thunderbolt 3 port for eGPUs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this unit does have a thunderbolt 3 combo port for eGPU.

Question 8

What is the refresh rate of this monitor?

Accepted Answer

This laptop is only the 75Hz version not the 120hz. I asked Newegg support and they were unable to tell me. Further research from the Asus sight confirmed it though.

Question 9

Can you change light color on keyboard?

Accepted Answer

I don't believe it has RGB lighting, but I think it has red backlit lighting.

Question 10

For me the Keyboard is extremely important on a gaming laptop. How would you compare this keyboard with others you have used?

Accepted Answer

The keyboard itself is solid, but the keys are not mechanical. They are membrane and you can feel the sponginess. So, it depends on what you are used to. If you are looking for the mechanical feel, look for another laptop.
