So.... Lets start by it did arrive quick and amazon killed it on that. The box packaging etc is nice and thick. Pc arrived, I made sure to read all the instructions first, Charged the laptop for 8 hours before using it. Started it up, ran through the whole setup of windows etc etc. Mind you, it was at a full 100% charge when doing this, within 30 minutes of using the windows setup and all while having it plugged into the wall the whole time. It was now at 10% battery life. I made sure the plug was in good etc and boom it ends up dead. I let it charge another several hours, launch one game and within 15 minutes the laptop turns off from being out of power. Again all while being plugged in etc. I have the battery settings tweaked so the screen is literally at 50% or less brightness. I have aura turned off on the keyboard. I have updated the battery drivers... I ended up finding out the adapter is literally only 180w... Why Asus would only think that would suffice enough for a 2070 and all this laptop is packed with is beyond confusing. What I ended up finding out on forums is if you buy on eBay a alienware charger (300w) you wont have the issue with the battery discharging. Seems kinda silly for me to go buy another charger adapter cause this was a under thought on asuss part. Not sure if Im going to keep this laptop or return it at this point. I cant game with it, I can barely use it for browsing without it turning off. Disappointed as this laptop is extremely nice on the outside.
