Pros: - super fast CPU in multi-core computations - impressive display, very vivid colors and deep blacks - very good value for money I guess - getting less hot in everyday use than my previous gaming laptop (I bet it is because of e-cores cpu design). - light weight

Cons: -weak wifi and bluetooth module - worse transmission stability and signal power than on previous laptop but comparable to iphone on the other hand (notable interruptions from another room or balcony) - cheapest 16GB memory module installed, upgrade to 32GB is essential. 5600Mhz memory improved CPU benchmarks by 6-8% and memory benchmarks by 25%. - display is too glossy - it is ok for a dark room, but bright room or outside spoils it notably. I think glossy overall is not a good option for a laptop whatsoever, better for stationary monitor. - Display is very beautiful for games but 240hz ips laptop is still better for input latency reduction. There is a notable difference, though not that critical too. Motion blur is also still present but differs in its properties from ips 240hz. For instance If you will be moving mouse cursor swiftly on black background - your brain registers about 5-6 shadows from previous positions, while on ips 240hz it was about 10-11 of them, but on the other hand because of 120hz refresh rate these shadows can be more prominent. I'd say in games you can note more prominent motion blurred frames (it looks like intentional motion blur effect) during fast turns while on ips the overall picture was more smudged during fast rotations. I'd choose ips 240hz gaming laptop for competitive FPS games still but for casual gaming this one is more beautiful. - battery is consumed fast in all modes. I wish there were options to turn off cores of CPU in whisper mode or perhaps it is because of this display type. anyway it lasts about 2.5-3 hours for office work tasks or internet browsing. - build quality is fine outside but if you look inside of it you can note cheapness, for instance there is no any filter for dust, no heat dissipation radiators for memory or ssd, keyboard backlight is coming out from all holes. - default operational system install was a bit glitchy, for instance MUX switch did not work - had to disable bitlocker completely first, computational GPU benchmark from passmark was crashing and there were 5 extra weird partitions on the disk, have no idea for what purpose. I did a clean installation of windows on it after all and all the latest drivers and it resolved everything.

Overall Review: I wanted to try this display type and overall I am satisfied with this choice and can recommend but I'd say I wished there existed a bit more premium version of this laptop and I decided not to go for proart studio book because of its ugly dialpad, which would be collecting dust.

Overall Review: - Screen is awesome. Contrast is high and ghosting is minimal (the best I've tested so far). Also I could squeeze ~10ms in human reaction benchmark with this screen. Absolutely great for playing shooters. Also 2.5K is perfect matrix for 15'. You can't see pixels here and everything is sharp but 4K screens in laptops are excessive imho. - Case is well built - you feel the quality. Color is not white - it is aluminum and I am happy with this choice. It looks similar to MacBook. - I like how long battery can last in quiet mode ~5hours and I use it like this for work with full screen brightness and 240hz even as it is good for eyes. - For gaming this laptop can get extremely hot around the power button area. But it is not hot around keyboard area so it is convenient. Still I am a bit concerned about its longevity if it gets so hot. Framerates drop around 15% when it gets hot but are maintained at these levels consistently. Though fans could exhaust air better - they get loud but my previous laptop was definitely generating stronger airflow. Overall I consider it to be acceptable for this thin frame. - keyboard has low profile and short travel time - good for reaction as well. Keyboard's backlight could be better - in some buttons the light behind them is too small for this button and lights up the buttons symbol only partly. - I installed clean windows 11 22H2 and without asus and intel bloatware of Management Engine, PMT and Armory. I use opensource G-helper which is lightweight. All works great but still I encounter an issue from time to time when display driver crashes (igfxn) and screen blinks black for couple of seconds (when Intel's videocard is working primarily in windows apps). I wasn't able to figure out where the issue is yet and if it is related to my setup or probably 22H2 version or it would be happening with default too. But yeah it is the only problem I found with this laptop and I bet it is software related not hardware.
