Pros: Best part of this PC was the opportunity that you can upgrade. There is an additional slot to place an additional PCle SSD. I chose a Samsung 1 TB drive. If you wanted more space go for 2TB.

Cons: There is no information in Newegg description of the PC. If it wasn't for the ASUS pictures about the PC I would not have known the upgrade capability. Granted the pictures were there but added information would be better

Overall Review: I like the speed and the features of this new laptop

Pros: Brightness was on the money, Keyboard Color options and Brightness excellent for evening Gaming or work. Extremely fast and great for gaming. Love the additional memory slots. Battery life is good for web surfing etc.

Cons: Battery Life when gaming. But what laptop battery doesn't.

Overall Review: I really made a good purchase. The specs are amazing for the price. no problems.

Pros: - Video card handles just about everything I can throw at it on High settings - Looks professional and not like a RGB kids toy - Upgradeable memory - Upgradeable NVME

Cons: - For the price the screen should of been better quality. >250 nits and better color. - Battery life just browsing the internet etc is around 4 hours with IGPU turned on. - Battery drains while plugged in and gaming. - Laptop dies after 6-7 hrs of gaming plugged in. Draws more power than 200watt power cord supply's. Currently sending back to Asus for repair if its even possible. Had multiple chats and in one the chat rep said this is normal. I wanted to reach through the chat and strangle them.

Overall Review: - 3/5 stars. Extremely fast and great for gaming. Only drawback is the 200watt power supply is not enough to power the laptop while gaming and the battery has to provide the extra juice to keep it on. This wears on the battery and makes you stop gaming to recharge it after 6-7 hours. I tried to get them to send a higher rated charger but they refused and made me RMA for service.

Pros: Performance, Brightness, Keyboard, Aesthetics

Cons: Speakers

Overall Review: A great buy for the price point. As advertised. Performance meets or exceeds expectations in all aspects. Great looking as well. Only negative is the speakers. Even considering that they are laptop speakers, they leave much to be desired. At full volume they are so quiet that I question whether everything is as it should be. Other than that, terrific laptop.

Cons: Short battery life.

Overall Review: I love the laptop so much! The specs are amazing and I havent had any issues with it so far except for one. The battery life is REALLY short! If you have an outlet nearby then its fine, but it barely lasts through my hour and 15 min classes before going on battery saving mode.

Pros: I opted to get the 32gb RAM and 1TB SSD model, and this thing has taken everything I've thrown at it. Haven't tried the Thunderbolt 4 port to confirm/deny other statements made on it. Played BF2042 beta on hooked up to my 65" IPS LG tv without any problems. Built in screen is beautiful. Very sturdy construction. Appears to be much more durable than many other options I looked at. Fans are surprising quiet at max speed. I space the back of the laptop 1/2" off the table when hooked to my tv and cooling seems to work very well. Additional expansion slots for memory are a plus!

Cons: I've been unable to get my Sony PS5 Pulse 3d headphones to work in stereo. They are only recognized as mono. They work fine on every other computer I've tried them on, so I'm assuming its the audio drivers they don't get a long with. Small gripe.

Overall Review: Absolutely! With 32gb RAM and 11th gen CPU, as well as room to expand memory, this should remain relevant for a long time. The video card will most likely be what becomes obsolete first, but to have these same options with a better card you are going to spend of 2k.

Pros: This laptop performs nicely and is great for gaming. The graphics work great and the fan is not too loud when working on Turbo mode.

Cons: Despite being advertised as VR Ready, I was unable to use the thunderbolt port for my HTC Vive Cosmos Elite. The on-screen prompts said that the Thuderbolt port needed to be tied to the graphics card, which does not appear to be the case. Addendum: I bought this laptop within the last month and the battery is completely dead. It displays as 100% after several hours, but the second I unplug it, the device dies. If I plug it back in, it will display a completely depleted battery. So disappointing because otherwise, the laptop works great. I am dropping my rating due to the battery issue. I love Asus products, but this particular fault makes me sad.

Overall Review: If you just need a solid gaming machine for a reasonable price, I recommend this laptop. If you are going to use it for VR Gaming though, I would look elsewhere.
