Worth it

Having this laptop for a few months now and i can honestly say it’s great! However the only thing it lacks is a good mouse. Sometimes the cursor/mouse has a mind of its own and acts stiff as if it doesn’t wanna move, so i find myself having to move my fingers around erratically on the mouse trying to get it right. The battery life could be better being that i find myself charging the laptop way more and sooner then i expect. However i guess that’s to be expected because we’re running games. Overall, pretty great gaming laptop. The games run very smooth on my end!

Very Good Purchase!

I absolutely love this laptop. I bought it in November 2020 and so far it runs smoothly and performs as good as I had hoped. I bought it for my son who loves playing games like roblox, minecraft and also fortnite (Fortnite runs at about 30 to 60fps). The Volume is ok – could have been a little louder, but its fine. He uses this laptop for school, youtubing and light gaming. Overall, its an excellent laptop for the price. I’m glad I made this choice!

Great value for money laptop

The laptop came very fast, to Israel in 10 days!! In original box , I added stick of another 8GB of ram, the laptop looks good, the screen is nice, the keyboard is wonderful, it runs very fast, I didn’t used it yet for heavy games , but the overall impression is very good and great value for money, the only big minus of this laptop is the battery life, if you are away from home most of the day and you need laptop with strong battery that’s not yours product, otherwise I can definitely recommend this seller and laptop.

Really nice laptop!!

The media could not be loaded.

I just purchased this laptop for my birthday just for simple games and school. It runs them really well! I got the sims 4 and Minecraft and it works really nice on severs and downloading custom content for the Sims 4. I don’t have any complaints so far, nothing has crashed or broke. It was worth the money! I haven’t had any problems because I got it’s about a week ago. But in my opinion if you are looking to run very high quality games i would invest in a PC. Overall my experience with this laptop is excellent!

I don’t care what anyone says about Laptops not being a gaming system

This laptop I’ve been saving up for two years…due to covid and once I got this beautiful baby she’s been nothing but good to me I can play the sims 4 with no lag with all the custom content, I can play ark, GTA, and even Planet Zoo! I highly recommend this laptop and I want everyone with this laptop to benefit from becoming a youtube gamer, or twitch gamer because it’s hella worth it. I’m a college student and this has been an amazing blessing of hard work and well a few stimulus checks before paying tuition!For everyone who hates the fans of the laptop, you can change that baby up to silent, performance, turbo, and more which I realized I haven’t seen other laptops do that. You want that cool laptop keyboard glow we all do and the ASUS has it! I’m in love and I’m enjoying every moment it’s worth the buy and every time you choose to buy this beautiful thing you, of course, get your money worth inside the laptop you can have insurance, ad blockers, virus cleaner, and even Xbox gamer pass is avaliable.

Fantastic Laptop

This laptop is fantastic, don’t bother with the nonsense on YouTube, only DigitalFoundry was correct ! The processor is tuned very well and it does hit high temps when boosting, but that happens to all Ryzen, it’s the higher vcore needed for the boost and this laptop does expel the heat efficiently when the clocks drop. I would advise anyone using this laptop to go into the power plan and change the settings to the attached pic, while noting that 99% will cut power by a lot!What is being ignored by the most it seems is the quality of the audio, it’s very good for a Windows machine! The 144 hz screen is very good, it isn’t color accurate but it’s a gaming laptop!!! If you want a great value “gaming” laptop then this is it!UPDATE: Bios 313 brings a lot of bug fixes. This new bios seems to do the same thing that the new Ryzen 5000 compatibility update has done for Ryzen 3000 on the B450 boards, more stable boost clocks and vcore probably via the new Agesa. Well worth the update!

THIS IS THE BEST GAMING LAPTOP FOR A COLLEGE STUDENT EVER

I was skeptical how well this gaming laptop would perform considering its price at $750 at the time. I love how that there are 3 modes you can choose from: Silent, Performance, and turbo. When running games like league of legends, overwatch, Dota 2, Valorant, WOW, SWTOR, they ran very smoothly with hitting always +60FPS. The only downside is the battery as it can drain rapidly after 2-3 hours of use (turbo on, without charger). I always recommend to people who wants this laptop or any gaming laptop is to use the charger at all time when gaming but at Silent mode, it can stay up to 6-7 hours with full charge initially. I think for the average gamer who does not demand and need intense graphics and CPU performance and is a student at any college would benefit this gaming laptop.

Best value for money

Great computer!! Husband has no problem with his gaming. He plays age of empires mostly. Use to have lots of processing problems with old computer and this fixed it. Plans on also using it for school in the future. Did lots of research and this was the best value for the money

Great laptop for your money

I’m not a big PC gamer but I bought this one bc they are built much better than basic Laptop for a little extra cost. For the price this laptop is A+. Battery life is OK but I knew that prior to buying it.

Great device and arrived way sooner than expected!

This is proving to be the best laptop (so far) I’ve ever purchased. I’m not a high end gamer so it’s just right for me. Also I purchased this on January 11th, expected delivery was 21-25, came on January 14. Very happy with this purchase!

Costo – Beneficio.

The media could not be loaded.

Excelente compra a un precio realmente favorable. En mi país este laptop tiene un precio mucho mayor. No es el mejor para juegos pero se ajusta a lo que necesito, entre 30 a 40 FPS en la calidad más alta de Gráficos. En calidad media de gráficos puede llegar a los 90 FPS en algunos juegos. Aumentare a 16 GB de ram y de seguro mejorará el rendimiento.

Good quality for gaming and office work

I’ve had this little lap top for a few months now and I love it so much! I am not a computer wiz or very much of a gamer, unlike my fiancè who builds his own computers and games all the time. He recommended this one for me for the few games I do play and to use for school work. It works great for school and gaming! It doesn’t freeze and is very fast, plus I love the light up keyboard!

Best bang for your buck

Love this laptop. I play video games but ulis wouldn’t consider myself a hardcore gamer but it could handle all the recent games no problem. DEFINITELY a good starter gaming laptop. I also do digital art and it handles everything perfectly. May want more ram and space though but its upgradable too so that’s no issue at all. I still managed to download a 5 games and my art programs with no interruptions. And a pretty good graphics card for the money too.

Excelente Calidad-Precio

Un excelente equipo para tareas de gran demanda en recursos, además de incorporar una tarjeta gráfica que permite el buen desarrollo en juegos.Diseño elegante, y dependiendo de las tareas realizadas puede pasar de ser silencioso a ruidoso por las RPM de los ventiladores.La batería dura aprox. 3 horas y el grosor del equipo es idóneo para sus características.En este modelo al parecer no tiene dos puertos M.2, incluye un adaptador para incluir un disco duro adicional.

Really happy; great bargain on a solid gaming laptop

Overall, I’m really glad I made this purchase; I spent about two weeks pouring over possible replacement computers and comparing stats after my previous laptop reached its end-of-life. I wanted something that could run my games on the highest settings but also something that would be flexible enough to use for graduate school and professional work. I also knew I wanted something durable, as I use my laptop daily and plan to have it for many years.It’s been a couple weeks since my purchase and here are my thoughts:Pros:- Fast. Even when the GPU isn’t in use, this computer has no problem handling multiple programs, Chrome tabs, and documents open at the same time and running everything flawlessly. I don’t play MMOGs but I do like simulation and strategy games and this computer can run them all on the highest settings without any issue.- Quieter than expected. The fans kick on periodically when I’m playing games, but even then it’s much quieter than I expected from a gaming laptop. I can hear the whirring a tad if my volume is next to zero, but otherwise the normal volume of whatever I’m doing or having earphones in makes the fans unnoticeable.- Runs cooler than expected. Related to the fan note above, this computer stays cool. I will play with it on my lap in the evenings from the couch, and it’s never yet been uncomfortable to do so.- Price. I didn’t expect to find a laptop like this for under $900. (Taxes bumped it up slightly over $900, but still worth it.)- Keyboard – there were more backlit options than I expected. You can set the backlights to off, static (solid red), strobe (quick pulses in red), breathe (slower pulses in red), or color cycle (slow fade through the rainbow.) The brightness also has multiple options. The keys themselves have a comfortable, springy feel to them and it’s comfortable to type on at length.- Screen/display. I haven’t noticed any discoloration and the 15.5″ display is a nice size for working on two documents side by side or having a video open while working on something else. And yest still small enough to slip it into most backpacks, if needed.- Design. I like the logo on the top of the case (instead of a company name) and there’s a subtle ridged texture design around the keys/mousepad that has a nice feel and look to it.- Trackpad. I like that it has two buttons for right and left mouse clicks. Some users may not, but I prefer it.- Quick and easy set up. I was up and running quickly with no issues; set up was a breeze and there isn’t too much junk software to sort through/uninstall. (It didn’t come with Microsoft Office, which was fine with me since I can get it free through my school as a student… but if that’s important to you, be aware that it’ll be an additional cost for you.)Cons:- Battery life is good when not gaming (~8 hours) but lackluster when playing games (~1-2 hours). Still, any laptop with a GPU is going to lack battery power when running its graphics card so I expected this.- A bit heavy at 5 lbs. (Again though – weight is expected in a gaming laptop and it’s actually not that bad at all compared to many other models out there.)- I’ve noticed the mousepad sometimes loses track of my touch. This has happens maybe once a week for a couple seconds? I plan to buy a mouse anyway, but the issue with the tracking is minor and infrequent enough to barely count as a “con”.Overall, it’s got a nice look and feel, it’s got plenty of processing power to run everything quickly and smoothly, and the price is great.

Amazing for the price

I’ve had this laptop for several months now. I use it for my college classes, gaming, watching videos. It does it all with no lag or hiccups. The backlit keyboard is one of my favorite features. You can change it to any color or shade you want. It also has DTS: X Ultra on it which lets you adjust the audio to different types of listening. I use it to enhance music all the time. It can even be personalized to your hearing which is great for me because I have moderate to severe hearing loss.The webcam isn’t the greatest, but you get what you pay for there. It’s not bad per se, but not the best either. I would have liked more hard drive space, but that’s easily fixable with an external drive. The battery life is okay. I’ve had laptops with better, but this laptop will still go for a few hours on battery. It’s also a bit heavy so if you plan to carry it around a lot you might want to be prepared for that. However, it’s incredibly sturdy. I have no concerns about sticking it in my backpack with my textbooks.If you want a versatile durable laptop with excellent audio at an affordable price, this is the laptop for you.

AMAZING!!!!

Had this laptop now for around 3 years, am so happy for the time we had together, it worked so well and never failed on me. I basically played any game I wanted on it when I installed new ram ( 16 GB ). Perfect for any type of work or studying, just amazing.Extra Stuff: easy setup, screen was nice but turned a bit a weird after a while, idk if it was a tear but still was fine. It never got super hot for me, I’d say about normal. The sound was nice, I always had headphones so idk about the speakers, I’d say decent. The size is perfect for going anywhere, cafe, traveling, etc.

Unbelievable laptop, but audio muffled by default

Awesome just awesome, from cpu / gpu power, weight, build, heat venting just awesome.My audio was low by default, muffled. not good. If this the case for you, fire up the myasus app that comes installed. under utilities download DTS:X Ultra, install, then update the DTS:X Ultra software in the windows store. In DTS:X Ultra, under Graphic EQ, move them all up. Problem solved.—update, the laptop is a champ, threw in 8gb more ram, put internal ssd drive, currently have it running 2 monitors including its own monitor so 3 total, with wow running on one of the monitors and twitch on the the other, currently cpu is 30%, nvidia gpu is 30%, and amd graphics chip is 15%, and the laptop is still cool in the back

Great Portable Printer – Dependable

I bought this computer for my daughter about 2 years ago. It has proven to be rugged & reliable. It is fast and with good battery life. It is used for word processing, artwork creation and computer gaming. I’ve heard no complaints from my its user (and believe I would have if necessary!) I recommend it without reservation.

ASUS Tuf Gaming laptop A15

This computer offers more extras for the money than many gaming laptops do for twice the price. It allows you to play high use cpu games like Dragon Age 3 while also being functional for college class work. The tough outer shell makes it great for packing to and from a classroom. The high speed processor makes opening several research papers while typing out a report a breeze.Great Computer Great Price

Bought and returned immediately

Didn’t do proper research ahead of time. The cooling configuration is awful and an run internal temperatures above 105 degrees Fahrenheit. The graphics card is also not quite powerful enough for much of modern gaming. Decided to build a more powerful PC for the same price point.

Almost love it!

I have used this laptop to play Sims 4 and it’s extremely responsive! The only down side is that I can’t figure out how to change the keyboard backlight to white, it’s default is red which I really dislike.
