Great performing machine for the price5/2/2021 12:43:11 PM
Pros: RTX 3080 130W, excellent performance for the price
Cons: Not the best performing RTX 3080 machine available, no mux switch
Overall Review: I bought this machine primarily to game on and so far it is excelling at the task. The 1080p display is beautiful and crisp and overall performance is flawless. It doesn't get too hot to thermal throttle under heavy loads which is good enough for me. The opto mechanical keyboard is absolutely fantastic to type and game on, not too loud but every key press has a satisfying sound and feel.
This is not the fastest machine out there. Units with the higher wattage cards and mux switches will outperform this, but at a higher price. Performance per dollar in this unit is great in my opinion.

Amazing laptop!!5/1/2021 5:47:15 AM
Pros: 300Hz screen is marvellous

Handles multitasking and gaming like a champ
Mechanical keyboard is something everybody needs in their lives
Cons: No webcam (it's not a con for me since I prefer a full display with portable camera)
Overall Review: Seriously, buy this

great laptop5/21/2021 11:37:37 AM
Pros: -fast
-great screen
-not that loud
Cons: -none
Overall Review: keyboard felt weird a kinda mushy at first but i dont mind it after a few of hours of using it
Defective assembly and no one takes responsability7/8/2021 6:39:52 AM
Pros: Doesn't get too hot when playing at Ultra settings and connected to the AC adapter
Great framerate at Ultra settings in all AAA games I tried
Keypad in the touchpad is a nice touch
Fast refreshing screen
130W nVIDIA RTX 3080
Cons: External chassis feels cheap
Screen is 1080p, but you knew that
No camera
No port for a locking device
Overall Review: The laptop ran like a charm but after a couple of weeks in my hands I noticed a strange bulge in the touchpad, you can see it in the pictures. Also, the bottom case looks badly assembled and that's probably what warped the whole chassis. My diagnosis: cheap materials and careless assembly. Neither Newegg nor ASUS are taking responsability for what's clearly a manufacturer's defect and they pretend I pay to have it repaired. They won't allow me to return the unit or exchange it for a new non-defective one. I wouldn't recommend buying this laptop, nor ASUS or Newegg customer service. Also, it's the third time I try to write this review, and I hope it's the last because the whole point of having reviews is for people to know what they're buying, good or bad.

Awesome gaming laptop!7/11/2021 10:09:08 PM
Pros: Fast - Ryzen 7 5800H + RTX 3800 = Devastating performance.
Quiet and cool - Fans run very quietly even when playing demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077 at high quality.
Great build quality.
Screen is excellent - 300hz with great color
Cons: 32gb of RAM would have been nice but that can be addressed later. The stock 16gb seems to be adequate for now.
Overall Review: I know there are laptops with slightly better specs on paper but this laptop is a veritable powerhouse. Hard to imagine any laptop being much better.
Very happy with this computer. I feel lucky to have gotten it before they sold out again.

Really good gaming laptop5/27/2021 1:01:34 PM
Pros: Lightweight
No as loud as people think
Temperatures are normal (Look at the AMD datasheet for the cpu, it can easily handle the 90 degree, even tho I have never reached that temperature @2k/ultra/dlss/rtx)
Handles everything you throw at it
Cons: Not a big fan of the keyboard, but not a big deal
Price (Compared to regular PC right now, it's a good deal)
Overall Review: I'd recommend this for people who like to game and need to travel. In my case, I can easily pack it up and hook it up to my 2k monitor.
Runs smoothly, scored 11'500 in 3d benchmark.

Computer Wont Turn on after only 37 Days5/27/2021 10:03:07 AM
Pros: - Was Great while it worked
Cons: - No longer works
- Wont turn on at all
- Completely shut down
- Support Line will not get back to me for help
Overall Review: After only 37 days the computer will not turn on. I am getting a single LED when the computer is plugged in, but otherwise the computer does not show any lights. I have tried to reset it, but that doesn't seem to be doing anything. I dont know what to do, and the support line I have tried to call keeps hanging up on me. Someone from ASUS needs to contact me ASAP to help me resolve this issue.
