Great Laptop1/21/2022 8:25:53 AM
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.

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.
Good Laptop, not quite VR ready9/22/2021 4:28:50 PM
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.
Manufacturer Response:
Dear PoppaGunch,
We certainly understand your disappointment and the inconvenience this may have caused if you are experiencing issues with VR.
To setup VR properly, please go inside the Display properties and switch the GPU from the integrated to the dedicated Nvidia graphics controller. Verify if the HTC Vive Cosmos Elite meets the system requirements of the laptop, and Windows and drivers are up to date. Regarding the battery, this is a random probem. We recommend that the laptop be sent in for service in order to resolve the battery issue.
If you need further assistance with the product, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I would be more than happy to help. Or, you are most welcome to call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688. Also, you can chat with an ASUS live support agent at: http://bit.ly/AsusLiveChat.
Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.

there is something wrong10/9/2021 5:21:10 PM
Pros: i have purchased both an msi laptop and asus laptop and the same thing happens. i will see a problem on the internet screen that looks like this and covers the entire screen for a split second and i dont see anything else :
" there is a glytch that repeats and looks like this going down the entire internet browser

or if not that then for example the space where i type in a website address will flicker. i have no problems with any other computers in my house and there are 3 others so i can guarentee its not my intenret provider. this also happened whether i was using microsoft edge or google chrome. there might be a defect within the 3060 gpu or the intel cpu that is doing this because those are the only two things that are exactly the same between both laptops and this needs to be addressed and fixed it is a big problem and is happening on more then one brand of computer
