Pros: -Beautiful 2k screen resolution at 120hz -Keyboard layout is the best I've had on a laptop, for gaming and every day use. -High quality feeling to the whole thing -Asus software easy to use and tweak temperatures/performance -Fingerprint Scanner is amazing once you get it setup good. I power it up, and it logs me in all with one button. -SSD is super fast, boots in seconds -Battery life is very decent for a gaming laptop, but expect to game plugged in, since it changes settings on you when unplug. Can set it to only charge to 60/80/100% to conserve longterm battery health by not overcharging. (Love this) -Mouse Touchpad feels high quality, nicest one I've used -Hinges feel sturdy and can be opened with one hand. (My hinges broke on my last laptop) -Sound quality very decent for a laptop, decent bass for a laptop too.

Cons: -RTX 3050 ti has 4GB of VRAM, not the best for certain games but I was willing to sacrifice that for the 2k screen at 120 hz this price range. (Goes on sale for 1599$ CAD) -CPU heating when gaming is expected with a gaming laptop but that's always a con. You can get 70-80 degrees temperatures if you throttle the CPU down and let the graphics card do more work. Laptop cooling pad will obviously help. -300 nits of brightness. The screen is amazing but a little more brightness would make it perfect. 300 nits is average though. -Gaming unplugged is possible but not as good -Can't think of anything else that is a con with this laptop so far.

Overall Review: I recommend this laptop for someone wanting a 2k 120hz screen, with decent battery life, but doesn't need more than 4GB of VRAM with the RTX 3050 ti. But for the price range, the 3050ti and the screen is the best you'll get.

Pros: -Size -Performance -Quality

Cons: -Finger print scan doesn't really work.

Overall Review: This is great laptop. If you have a main rig and need something that has reasonable performance for a reasonable price this is the laptop for you. The screen is nice, the feel and touch is great. I have been using this laptop for two weeks now and haven't had any major issues. When its plugged in gaming performance is great and it doesn't get too hot. On battery it does have a 30fps limit on by default to save on battery power, so just be aware of that if you do game without it plugged in. The finger print scanner doesn't really work but I'm not sure if that is a windows 11 issue or it just isn't a good scanner. In my opinion the speakers are better than MacBooks (2019 pro and a 2018 air) I currently own, although they could get a little louder. If upgrading to Windows 11 just remember to make sure to update all of your drivers after you do. I had some issues with sound cutting in and out but it turns out an update fixed all that. All in all if you are looking for a laptop and see this one on sale I would say go for it. There are laptops with better performance for less but I find that the build quality on those are lacking.
