ASUS ROG Strix G17 Gaming Laptop, 17.3" 144Hz 3ms FHD IPS Level, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070, Intel Core i7-10750H Processor, 16GB DDR4, 512GB PCIe SSD, Wi-Fi 6, G712LW-ES74

Was kinda blown away with how fast this CPU is on a laptop. Laptop looks nice, its a nice weight, nice keyboard, display has nice vibrance and clarity. 144hz is great for a laptop. Only issue I have with it is it gets too hot, but I got a cooling pad which helps it stay cooler. Intensive games will get it up to 80s Celcius even with the pad though. This is acceptable for my usage of the laptop which will be intermittent, but I do not recommend this machine if you are planning on using it every day or for several hours a day, as the heat will undoubtedly cause longevity issues with constant use. Obviously if you get a lower tier GPU it wont get as hot. I read around online that I can do some undervolting as well to cool it down, will fiddle with that eventually, but supposedly the temps are 'fine for a laptop'. *shrug*.Still happy with it

This laptop can handle pretty much anything you throw at it. 144Hz/3ms is top-notch. It's loud under load but any laptop will be with running higher-end games at these frames. The RGB strip can be a little obnoxious but can be turned off through the 'Armory'. I've done loads of research and this laptop at retail is a better deal than most similar laptops on sale.If you're looking for a gaming laptop that will last you years to come look no further.

Laptop died within first month of ownership. Sent back to ASUS for warranty repair, motherboard was burnt out and replaced free. Whatever hardware/software interaction is going on, this laptop is unable to play certain multiplayer games and cannot even install simple apps such as Adobe Acrobat. At times it cannot even run Windows Media Player and on other install files it will take upwards of 5 minutes to ask for permission to install.Windows itself restarts this laptop on its own but when it does that the fans do not engage and therefore the laptop is left to cook until you manually shut down the laptop and restart it. Additionally, Windows updates resets power settings and display settings on its own due to ASUS moronic hardware drivers. Do not recommend using this laptop as a workstation setup.Not worth the money, if you spent this much money on a laptop I expect it to be able to do simple tasks like load a PDF correctly and play the games I want to play with no issues.

This gaming laptop is by far the best I've owned. I have a Zephyrus M15 with rtx2070 super, 16g ram 244hz screen and I do not see the difference. This is definitely a good buy

Before I got this laptop for the past 6-7 years I had an Asus ROG laptop with a Geforce 860m in it. It finally was on its last legs so I decided to buy another Asus ROG as it had been so reliable and tough to boot. When I got my new laptop I liked the look of it. It booted up and did typical setup things Update windows..install programs I use etc. A few things I noticed that kind of annoyed me about this laptop...usb ports were put on the left instead of right side.(I have many backup/external drives that are on the right side of my desk and due to the position of the chair/leg area I do not have much room on the left for those things.) A minor inconvenience of course..also the reduction of 4 usb ports to 3 is a bit of an inconvenience too as I have both a wireless mouse and headset that I use leaving only 1 port free most of the time. Though to be honest I knew about that to begin with, but it would be nice to have more ports without needing an external hub. Again these are small inconveniences. I do enjoy having the HDMI port on the back so its out of the way of things on my desk, same for the power plug. My one real gripe about the HDMI is that whenever its plugged in the resolution changes to a lower one due to it thinking that my laptop screen is the HDTV that I have connected to it to watch movies/youtube on via my laptop. Once I unplug it though it goes back to the right resolution for both video editing and gaming. This leads to another issue I ran into with this laptop. If you want to play any high end games such as COD: Warzone you have to go into the provided software ARMORY CRATE to change your settings from silent to performance or turbo to get the performance needed or else things tend to lockup or crash.(EDIT - after some driver updated and fiddling with the nvida software which was the problem in the long run as it was fighting for control all the time with the ARMORY software that is provided with the laptop. I like the ARMORY but not enough to fight it so I disabled its control of the graphics decisions and said let windows do it which it in turn said Nvidia can play with things...which is what you really want as they know the graphics chip better than Asus does. So it plays great now.) I'm an experienced IT guy so for me it was an easy find/fix...but for the average gamer it would be a big thing as there is nothing saying to do that. I will also say that though the laptop is thinner..the fans are louder when in performance/turbo mode its so loud you can barely hear things in game(EDIT: When in TURBO MODE/ARMORY) unless you crank the volume up quite a bit so I would suggest again that if you have the time find your way through to disable ARMORY's control of things and just let Nvidia and windows handle gpu controls as they are more efficient in doing it. my last laptop even when the fans were going full throttle did not make this much noise, so that is a little disappointing to say the least. So I will say these are things that they need to address better In the future. Personally I could careless about battery life all together due to my using my laptop as a space saving pc instead of a portable gaming rig. I will also say to you if you are thinking of buying this model...get the one with the 1 or 2 TB drive in it as this one did not have a slot for SSD drive(non M.2/nvme). So the 512GB Intel m.2 2280 one notch nvme that came with this is being eaten up quick and I can't use my recently bought(3 months ago) 2TB non-m.2 SSD drive with this laptop at all. There is no brackets or holding cage for one...there is no ribbon connector...nada! At least include the 1TB or a big notice this only has M.2 ports. (second one is used by your internal wifi card. so between the SSD and Wifi you are left with two NVMe M.2 2280 one notch ports.) You really need one drive for your OS only...then secondary drive for programs and games/video editing temp storage to get the best gaming/video editing performance possible. Again battery life is not a big deal for most gamers. Though if you are traveling sure a bit of battery life is great...but most places have plugs to hook your laptop into..there are even ac to cigarette lighter port adapters for cars/trucks so you have that too. I do not know of anyone who wants to go out into the middle of the boonies to play their games. So again gaming doesn't equal need for battery life. Oh yeah in case you are wondering which M.2 drive is in this laptop its the Intel one..and the read/write speeds are in the 1500 mbps read/write speed. (I've Edited this after fiddling with windows and using Crystal disk test which brought up the performance from what it was as I had to disable the silent mode I had the system on again..fighting ARMORY. smh Asus.) Not the fastest M.2 but a huge leap from the previous write speeds so its better than it was over all. Also would it really kill you to make the upgrading areas easily accessible rather than having to ripoff the whole gosh darn(insert swear words here.) thing off to get access to memory/hard drive for upgrading? While I love the overall quality of the products of the ROG line...I've seen and even talked to other friends who own the 2 steps or so above what I got ($2k to $3k spent of course.) and they are all better laptops than this...so I would say go ahead save up the 2 plus grand for the higher end of the strix if you want a better built and slightly better ease of access for upgrade gaming laptop. Still if you are one who likes to fiddle and mess with stuff builders/tinkerers/hackers..etc... Then go ahead and get this laptop. With just a little bit of user end thoughts ASUS you could have made this into a better laptop than it was...I'm disappointed in you, but I still like (better now that I have fixed the quirks of your software.) the laptop overall...though I'm sure if I break anything taking it a part completely just to install a new m.2 drive you will not cover its warranty...just saying its hard to open and take a part more than it should be for close to 2k that I paid for this. If I sound grippy about this...I think there is fair reason to be so. ASUS DO BETTER PLEASE! I love your products when I was building PCs and would always recommend your MBs and Video Cards to people...do better and think more about the End Consumer more when doing your case for these gaming laptops. That said the looks of the laptop and now the performance at least come close to what I was expecting.

Fantastic gaming PC, thin, quiet, yet capable of superb overclocking, and adaptive technology V.I. customizes your gaming experience

it has everything you would want in a gaming notebook for a much lower price. other brands offer the same product with the same specs for 500-1000 dollars more. though one issue I had was that some of the buttons that open the armory app or adjust the fan speed didn't work for the first two days, they work now but I had no idea why they didn't before. the computer comes with no manual so fixing things like this or difficult cause finding the online manual isn't easy. by the way it got a score of 7966 on time time spy benchmark on #Dmark, so if you want to know what it can do... there ya go it did better than 68% of all gaming pcs

It’s the most cool laptop I ever had, i just had to argue it’s not actually a 2070 super it’s a 2060 super or something like that
