Great Laptop for the price
Pros: Keyboard feels nice Trackpad works; has physical buttons (a plus for me) IPS display Gaming performance is very good, as expected Cooling is adequate Build feels solid
Overall Review: I bought this at $1330 USD on 15-06-2021 For the money, this was the best spec'd laptop you could purchase at the time. I am satisfied with my purchase and would buy from ASUS again. This laptop is a bit on the thicker side, but I assume that is due to the cooling system. A tradeoff I am very happy with. If you are looking for a thinner laptop, I would recommend the zephyrus series- I have friends that are very satisfied with those. As with any gaming laptop, it gets warm under load. I would say it stays cooler than most others I have used. If you plan on gaming on a laptop, I do recommend running on a cooling pad to assist with the internal cooling system. Something I would change: 240hz is great for games, but this laptop cannot drive that much in most titles. I am a bit perplexed as to why laptop manufacturers put 240hz (or even 4k displays?) on laptops with 2060s. I would rather see a 144hz display and maybe a bit more ram or something. Overall, a great laptop. I am impressed with its performance and price. Thank you ASUS :)
