I just got this so I can work on the road and also be able to play some games. So far its been great. The screen is crisp and clear, they keyboard is very easy to get used to. I also love the mouse that came with it. I did have to manually update it to the Windows 10 Anniversary edition, which you should do because it helps iron out a bunch of bugs in the original Windows 10. But once I got that set up I got everything configured how I wanted to. To play Forza Horizon 4 online I had to uninstall the GameFirst app that came with it. I think theres a way to configure it so itll work nicely but I didnt want to deal with it. If anything goes wrong Ill be sure to update this post. So far I love it though! Nice and sleek, Light and quiet.

I love almost everything about this computer. It runs drafting software no problem and does everything that I need. But I have 3 minor complaints. -The trackpad isnt the greatest (but I use a mouse most of the time I am doing things other than online stuff) -The end key requires you turning off the num lock (this is my biggest complaint because I create documents with numbers so having to choose one or go back and forth is pretty annoying) -No CD drive so if I need to rip a CD to FLAC I have to do it on my desktop (but most people just use MP3 so this wont be an issue)

I use a gaming laptop as my work laptop too. Im a writer, and I also do audio and video recording and editing. Then once Im off the clock, Im a long-time gamer. This beauty handles all of these with amazing aplomb. The keyboard is fast and smooth, the screen is beautiful, and the six cores and 16GB ram mean that even with lots of VSTs running, my performance is rock solid. Battery life isnt great, but its a gaming laptop: thats not odd.

Great bang for the buck, I went with the 1050 ti model since I mostly only play competitive games (LoL, Overwatch, CS:GO) and was more interested in the high refresh monitor and 8th gen CPU. I was blown back by how powerful even my model is and how enjoyable it is to use, Im getting 120-150 fps in DOOM on ultra for reference. I used to own the Razer Blade 14 and this laptop is a breath of fresh air. The fans are powerful but dont get too loud (razer blade fans were like a jet engine), I havent seen the gpu pass 80C even at full load, and the build feels premium even with the plastic bottom. 10/10 Im very happy with this purchase, I feel I got exactly what I was advertised.

I was shopping around for a new laptop for a while before I bought this one. Im really happy with what I got for the cost of it. It runs games smoothly, even when Im multitasking, and is more than powerful enough for my schoolwork. I havent had any hardware issues with it yet, which is great, because Im cursed with hard drives. Speaking of drives, the SSD boot drive makes booting up SUPER fast. Also, it has programmable keyboard lights, which are really cute. Makes me feel fancy! This is a heavy computer for its size, by the way, which for the price is expected. I took a star off for the battery life because it feels sort of short, but I could probably tweak the performance settings and get WAY more life out of it if I made an effort. YMMV

The only dislike is the battery, if your playing a game such as Rainbow siege, GTA, you have to have it plugged in to the charger at all time for best quality and No lag. Asus customer service is very good, u get over 1TB storage, REALLY GOOD SCREEN QUALITY as well I compare this laptop to other laptop my co-worker amd friends have, such as digital storms, and laptop over 2k and 5k, they experience technical issue with their laptop, yet i haven’t had not even an issue with this laptop. For the price, it’s an absolute STEAL! I had an expensive Mac laptop and only this laptop beats my Mac. I can do all my Mac work and performances on here, athough the battery drains, battery his laptop has an option where if ur not gaming, u can lower the performance of the battery and set it to “normal battery performance” which means it will last longer. I’m a college student and I change my battery performance to normal and the battery last me, then when I get home I put it to “gaming performance” which of course has to be plugged in. This laptop, u can link MOST OF YOUR accounts, FB, Spotify, insta, steam, Xbox , PS4, UPLAY, ETC, all in the screen and ur computer is customized to YOUR CHOICE. The keyboard lightening is an extra that makes it beautiful. Don’t spend 2-3k on a laptop, this computer works just as well.

I have had this for about a week now. I was having problems with frame rate until I download the Nvidia drivers that I needed. I used the custom imported settings from NVidia on Tomb Raider. Im getting 60 fps on ultra. I recommend doing the same...using Nvidias imported settings for your games...its fine tuned to get the most out of your GTX1050ti. Its also awesome for new PC gamers who dont know much about all those settings and dont like tinkering with it. This laptop is fast too..no complaints there. The only complaint I really have is the game center sometimes force closes when going to open it with the keyboard button. Its an easy fix that I found on Google. Just find the ROG gaming center in the accessories menu and click "stop". Then its good to go. The mouse that came with it is really nice as well. Its super quiet too. I read the reviews about this laptop getting hot and/or the fans being really loud but I havent encountered any of that. It stays cool and quiet for me. I even bought a base cooler at the same time I bought the computer, thinking that I would need it because of the reviews. I use it just so I can prop the laptop on the blanket on my lap without it over heating...the cooler works great for that. If any issues come up I will update the review.

Im incredibly happy with the performance of this laptop. I use it for gaming and coding. The 6 core processor is what I can appreciate the most. The GPU isnt powerful enough to run the latest games on max settings if you want to make use of the 120 Hz refresh rate, but you can get 60 FPS on most new games on high, and 120 FPS on medium (or high for some older games). Overall great performance for the price. My noob acquaintances are impressed by the RGB keyboard as well.
