So far so good

I’ve been testing the very limits of this laptop, it tends to be noisy on turbo mode, and you can really take all of its juice in that mode. Battery life is normal, the fps are as listed. It doesn’t have a Webcam.

It’s worth the money!

It surpassed what I imagined a gaming laptop could do. It does everything with blazing speed. A little loud and can run hot, but overall a gaming beast. My son couldn’t be happier!

Great laptop for gaming

All games could be played on ‘Ultra’ settings at 1920×1080 resolution, support VR.No camera – no one can spy on you )) – just buy a camera if you need one

Really nice gaming laptop

This is the first gaming laptop I have ever purchased. I am primarily using it as a productivity laptop, while my son uses it for gaming. It has great specs, and seems to be good quality. As for gaming performance, it seems to work well, although we haven’t really put it through anything particularly demanding, yet.

Constant Wifi Problems

Got this for college and worked pretty well for a couple months. However, it keeps disconnecting from the wifi and nothing shows up when you look for available networks. I know it’s a wifi adapter problem cause every time this issue occurs, the device has a yellow exclamation sign next to it!! I have to reset my entire network settings and restart the computer to get back on the internet!!

great laptop for a decent price.

You get what you pay for, but looking around black fri deals (in 2020) Walmart had same laptop lower specs (9thgen i7, 1660ti, 512GB SSD) for roughly the same price as this laptop with much better specs (10thGen i7, RTX2070, 1TB SSD NVME), and it just makes sense to get this one.

A beast. A very loud beast.

Let’s start by saying this thing is a beast. For the price I am getting what I wanted and expected, a decent gaming laptop. My gaming needs aren’t exceptional, as i mostly play MMO’s, but so far it has delivered in frame rates at high graphic settings.Pros:* Excellent graphics card* Ability to switch between performance and quiet/battery life* 240 Hz display. Very nice* Keyboard has a nice solid feelMeh* The speakers. Very meh.Ewww* The fans. They get ridiculously loud when gaming on turbo mode. I mean, I guess one might expect that, but even so, they exceeded what I expected for sureVerdict: Very happy with my purchase.

Runs super hot !!!

This little laptop is one heck of a deal for the money. In fact, it’s too much of a good thing in a tiny package. With the 2070 graphics card, it got so hot while playing Destiny 2 and Divinity 2 that it was uncomfortable to the touch. Even with the graphics turned down to about mid settings and aCooling pad, Divinity tended to lock up and stop responding. It’s a very attractive laptop with great features and a very creative light display but be careful how many high end components you select as I found the cooling capabilities to be insufficient for the higher end graphics and processor. On the bright side, with a cooling pad, it kept my coffee super hot for hours just by setting it next to the laptop !!! That’s how much heat this thing kicks out.

Review from a normal Desktop Gamer

Update…. so I still love this laptop however there is one major issue. If you want to play portable (without the charger) you Cannot play in turbo mode. That means for games like destiny 2 you would get 30/50 frames. When you have it plugged in and on turbo you get in the low 100s so double the frames. Just something to think about if you are wanting to play without having to be plugged in.I have only had this for 1 day officially so I will go over first impressions and update if anything changes.1.) Performance: i have a Desktop PC with a I7-9700k and 2080 Super. It feels like equal Performance and I appear to be getting comparable FPS. The Sound is ok better then most monitor speakers.2.) Battery: while its expected on gaming laptops not on the charger running turbo you may get 2 hours (maybe) there are worse batteries out there so on high performance 2 hours is generous. If you are playing without power kick back to performance mode (you may lose some FPS) but you might get another 20-30 minutes of battery.3.) Fans: you can change the fan level extremely easy. Silent is 100% quiet. Performance mode you can hear it slightly but not loud enough to bother you. Turbo (what should be used while gaming) is noticeably loud however not as loud as other similarly priced models so I was shocked there.4.) Weight: it is very heavy. Its not so heavy that you can’t transport it easily but its noticeably heavier then you would expect. Not a deal breaker.5.) RGB: if you are really into RGB this Laptop may have been made for you. RGB is nice but I bought it more for the Performance. I Generally turn RGB off but it looks great on this laptop so I left it in Static.Overall: since its only been 1 day I can’t say if it’s 100% worth it but after my first day I am going to say it is. I have not experienced any noticeable issues while gaming it has been running cool while under load. I would buy this again if I was still on the market.

A beast with some flaws

First of all, this laptop is amazing. It’s a gaming laptop and it’s good at being one. It is super snappy and doesn’t freeze one bit. Don’t expect the battery to last you an entire day though. From what I’ve seen in the last couple of days it averages around 3.5~4 hours of usage and maybe can get a bit more if you turn off anything unnecessary, lower the brightness, etc… If you want to use the entire performance of your laptop it has to be plugged in too, or maybe I still haven’t figured that out yet. The touchpad was a bit sticky at first but after a few minutes it is perfect, even for sweaty hands. There are multiple versions of this laptop, some with the numpad on the touchpad and others without, so consider this if the numpad is important!Pros:Very powerfulGreat design!High refresh rate screen is gorgeous1TB M.2 is fastHaving the charger port in the back makes less of a mess on the sides (See edit)Some variety of ports (3xUSB A and 1×3.5mm jack on the left side – 1xUSB-C, 1xHDMI, 1xEthernet on the back)Cons:Small batterySpeakers are alright but not the best (can easily be fixed by using headphones)Must be plugged in to fully use the GPUFans are very loud when the GPU is maxed and you can feel some heat on the top area of the laptop.EDIT: After using the laptop for a longer while, having the charging port at the back turned out not to be as convenient as I thought. Most of the time I would just grab the laptop forgetting it was plugged in and dropping most of the stuff on the table.

Great laptop for the price!

So I shopped around a bit before getting this laptop. With two little ones, being able to game at my desktop was virtually impossible. I absolutely love this laptop, it’s fast and the graphics are beautiful. It is fairly heavy, but that is to be expected. I will say the fans do get a little loud an dit does get hot, so I got a cooling pad which helps.

Great specs at this price point with a couple trade offs

Purchased this as a Christmas gift for myself. I’ve been console gaming for years and this is my first foray back into PC gaming in 20 years. Overall I’m very happy with the purchase, given the price for specs trade off.First off, note that this laptop doesn’t have a web cam. That’s not good or bad. It saves a bit of money in manufacturing cost so you get more specs instead but if you really want/need a web cam, know that this laptop doesn’t have one.This laptop performs as advertised so I’ll only list the things that might be of interest to people.The only issue I’ve noticed is a backlight leak in the bottom left of the screen. This is only noticeable when displaying an all black image but it’s there. It’s not a big enough deal to me to return but there and it’s the only issue I’d list as a defect.I’m a 40 something dude and the RBGs are a little much for me. The default is a rainbow of color that scrolls across the keyboard. I quickly found the setting to make that a constant keyboard backlight of any shade of color I wanted. Problem solved.So here might be the interesting part for people, the fan. This is a “gaming laptop”. These two words are hard to reconcile. A gaming system generates a lot of heat. A laptop is supposed to be super portable so it’s small and compact. When you make a laptop for gaming you need a solution to getting rid of all that heat in a compact computer so a fan running fast is the standard solution. There is just no way to get around it at this price point. Maybe a more expensive laptop might have a quieter solution. Here’s the thing though, the fan is not an annoyance for anyone in my family, including my wife watching a show or reading a book right next to me. It runs at a pretty constant rate and has a consistent wind blowing sound that quickly turns into background white noise. Now the fan doesn’t always run like this, only in “turbo”/game playing mode, and only when actually playing a game. There is a “silent” mode you can set it to with a dedicated button for it and it will throttle your performance to ensure the fan doesn’t need to come on. This is fine for web browsing and the like. There is also a “Performance” mode in between Silent and Turbo. Reading other reviews, some people can’t stand the fan, and some peoples’ fans might actually be broken, but the normally functioning fan is not an issue or any worse that similarly priced systems. There just isn’t a quiet way to get all the heat generated by gaming PC parts crammed into a laptop. If you are looking for a super quiet system while gaming, this isn’t it and I’m not sure if such a solution is out there. And note that you can’t run in “turbo” mode without being plugged in. That shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. Gaming parts need a lot of power, way too much for a laptop battery can supply. When you are gaming on a gaming laptop, expect to always need to be plugged in.Lastly, would I buy this again? Yes, great specs for the price. The trade off is in the plastic body. If I’m still PC gaming in 5 years, when these specs are no longer enough, I’ll probably get a system with a metal body. I want to be able to hold the laptop by the corner and not worry about stressing the body. There is no indication I am over stressing when I do this but I don’t have confidence in it so I try to limit that. The problem is that these specs in a metal body is much more expensive. For now, I’m completely satisfied and gaming away.

Great Purchase for Gaming and School

Could not be more happy with this product. The screen quality has blown me away. For the price it is everything you want and more. One negative is that the fans are loud however it is only when gaming and at the end of the day you have a rtx 2070 in a laptop you should expect for significant cooling requirements. All in all 5 out of 5.

Solid asus again.

Start up speed is great. Fast operation overall. It’s a laptop so if course it runs hot while gaming and puts a quick hurt on the battery charge. No thermal issues while gaming. Pretty much just leave plugged in while gaming so not too concerned with battery life. Non gaming unplugged operation with balanced power setting is good for use time.

Great pc! (My first gaming laptop)

This laptop is great !!! My first gaming pc afte switching from PlayStation and I don’t regret it. The 2070 graphics card looks amazing. It runs very fast and the rgb looks awesome.The only complaint is that the gpu does seem to run hot but according to research it’s not a big issue at all! So buy it people

awesome Laptop

The media could not be loaded.

i use this laptop for ARK gaming, on steam and it looked very nice playing on high/ epic settings, and the water and sky were amazing, and to be honest its really fast, Youtube music on settings it will play on 4k 2160p so smooth…. and when you play music the lights will go with the music beat. i will recommend this laptop to anyone that likes the awesome lights and the speed…to be honest, ima order another one.

Great for graphic design and for gaming

I have one of these laptops that I use for Adobe programs and other various graphic design programs and I run with little to no issue (unless I’m getting brave and work on creating a vector in Inkscape that has too many nodes – but that’s just me pushing the limits – it limps through). My husband wanted a good gaming laptop so we ordered him the exact same one and he loves it. He can run Arc on wide open graphics and settings with zero lag.

COD COLD WAR runs at 80 avarage FPS and GPU temp is about 75C , ultra settings , med RT.

i’m using it for about 2 months and i’m very happy with my purcashe.FANS loud only when you gaming (it’s normal but you should buy cooler surface ,very helpful). beware about windows 2004 build , made my WIFI crashed .very recommended to rollback to previous build.beside of this everything is just fantastic.P.S – if you have monitor with 144HZ and above , connect it to the laptop with USB C -> DisplayPort otherwise you will get only 120HZ .
