Pros: This laptop is great with its backlit keyboard stunning moniter and upgraded specs
Cons: Fans sound like jet engines and temps are in the low 90s
Overall Review: The laptop is packed with cool features and runs games fairly well; however, the standard version by rog has a 4th gen processor, which means it was upgraded from its original form. With this upgrade, there is a significant change in temperature and battery life. When first opening a game, the fans switch to performance mode, which is relatively loud, and thermal throttles; however, when plugged in, it switches to turbo mode, and the fans switch to PS4 mode and can easily be heard across a large room and have minima thermal throttling. When the laptop is placed on a cooling pad, it helps temps, but it is still deafening. When I use this laptop, I always wear headphones which do a good job of drowning out the noise. The keys also feel very hot, and the charger is sadly not type-c.
Pros: Best laptop i have ever bought when it was working.
Cons: After 7 months the laptop will not power on, it is charging and the keyboard light up, but nothing is on the screen.
Overall Review: I would not recommend this product. due to the fact that it can randomly break after seven months. $2300 spent to have a paper weight...
Pros: I use for work and play when I travel. The laptop ran my games at ultra settings and I could not hear it break a sweat even with shooter type games. It is a pleasure to use. It is a good weight for something with such a powerful graphics card as well. I also use it as a work laptop and it runs without issue. I highly recommend and believe I will get at least 7 years out of it before needing to upgrade. Delivery was seamless and on time from the provider. 5 stars
Cons: When it is in power save mode, the keyboard flashes - dot-dot-dash. It is kind of weird, and may be that I can change it to stop doing it - I have not poked around much to stop it yet. But itis not something worth dropping the rating
Overall Review: 5 stars - worth every penny

Great Laptop!5/13/2022 4:10:33 AM
Pros: Great laptop that can run pretty much anything I throw at it at max detail settings even unplugged.
Cons: My only complaint and its not really a complaint is this laptop does run very hot and can get there quickly. highly recommend purchasing a good laptop cooler to help supplement longer gaming times
Overall Review: Overall its a great piece of machinery and I expect it to be able to keep up with the latest games for a long time before it needs replacing.

Pros: Great for games
Cons: Parts go out quickly
Overall Review: After paying as much for this laptop is, the SSD went out only 6 months later, sticking you with the bill. Its not factory so you are stuck paying the full amount for the SSD to get it replaced. I would stay away from this laptop unless you want to keep repurchasing it. I have seen other people say the same so it seems about par.

Overall Review: Got the PC was excited. Then I wasn't software issues from hell.Updated everything still some drivers would not install for the GPU. It's running off the built in graphics just fine but it has a rtx2070 that I cannot use.So long story short it's in shop being fixed so more money out on already very expensive item.
