Kevin Kenneth Blake –
This is not a review based on the seller but based on Asus. I bought this computer primarily as a back up that I could use for 3d CAD programs such as SolidWorks. Computer ran great for a few months then stopped loading the system software. First appearance was that it was a BIOS issue but it wasn’t. At this point it had only been used between 10-20 hours and it was set aside and nearly forgotten about.
Final verdict was it had to go back to Asus. While there I was treated with a disregard I’ve only found in people who can not communicate in English. After they had the computer several weeks they contacted me stating the repair would cost nearly $500. That was argued and they did the repair for free, replacing the motherboard and the hard drive as they were both faulty. That repair took another almost 6 weeks.
Received the computer back and needed to reformat the thing because Asus left their own profiles and admin lockout on the system. When they were contacted again they stated that they received the laptop with scratches all over the top, bottom, and screen. That was a pure lie, I can take photos of it now and prove that there are no scratches anywhere in the computer.
Also when it was shipped back from Asus they packages it in such a half a$$ed manner that I was amazed it wasn’t destroyed. They stated to ship to them with 2 inches of padding/packing in all sides. What they shipped back was maybe ½” of foam, less than adequate.
I wish I’d paid more attention because if I’d dealt with it immediately I could have returned to the seller for a refund. Instead I’m stuck with a computer I don’t trust to last that supposedly now is out of warranty. This was my second Asus laptop and it will be the last Asus product I ever purchase.

I wrote a review a while ago. Wanted to update it with my current situation.
This is overall a good laptop for the price. Out of the box, 8 GB of ram isn’t enough though.
I went out and bought a dual channel 32gb ram, made things a lot smoother.
Most games can run on medium to high settings with playable FPS.
Mount and Blade 2 runs about 110 FPS on high settings, but during seiges the FPS can drop to about 50 FPS. (Before the dual channel ram seiges were at lows of 14 FPS, but I think that was an early release bug that was fixed in the game)
GTA V runs almost always 60+ FPS om highest settings. No lag issues. (Before dual channel ram it was like 50 FPS on highest settings)
War Thunder lits between 110-140 FPS oh high settings. (90 FPS before dual channel ram)
My point is, get dual channel ram. It helps a lot.
I haven’t tested very many tripple A games yet. Gotta buy them first before i try them.
512 GB of memory is a bit low for me. I like to have multiple games downloaded so i can pick from a good selection. But, the solid state drive is fast and does it’s job.
Laptop does get hot when gaming for long periods of time. I’d recommend a laptop cooling pad if your gaming for more than an hour. Fan also gets very loud when on Turbo mode, but if you have a headset you don’t notice.
RGB is nice. Screen is crisp. Keyboard feels nice. Laptop camera does its job.
I do recommend this laptop, just get dual channel ram and maybe a laptop cooling pad.

Been using this for college work, regular googling, and a little gaming here and there. The keyboard is nice and I love the look of rgb lights shining underneath. Visuals look good when watching videos or playing a game. My actual only issue with the laptop is the lack of battery life it has. The laptop is listed for up to 5 hours, yet when i checked the hours it has left it always has a max time of 2 hours which is really poor. I could just have a faulty power supply or may not but 2 hours of battery life is really hard to deal with incase you want to use the laptop on the go. Other than battery life the laptop still looks great and works great as well.

Really a big fan of this laptop, and 200% confidence would get another ASUS Tuf Gaming laptop again. I bought this after using an Alienware 17 for several years. The Alienware was super bulky and heavy – built like a tank – and had cooling issues. In fact, the wiring actually melted inside and fried the hard drive, even though I used a cooling pad (which is a common issue with those per reviews).
But THIS laptop I’ve had now for over 6 months and it runs amazing. I recently upgraded RAM, which I highly recommend if you’re going to be gaming – 16 or more. Also love that it has an open 2.5″ SSD slot – adding a 500gb SSD SATA III today in the open slot. 500GB is great if you’re only playing one game or lightweight games, but anything hefty will eat up a lot of the space. For example, CoD Cold War needs 250gb, but I play 4-5 games so altogether they’re more than the out-of-box SSD can handle for storage. Upgrading RAM + SSD was about 120 after tax and easy to upgrade! Playing WoW, I can run on max graphics even in 40-man BGs with 60FPS. I plan on using this for years and am very impressed with how lightweight this is and how well this runs. **Great value** for a gaming laptop.

Totally satisfied.

Definitely everything I promised. I got it for a really good deal. Have enjoyed it for my video editing and for my 3D modeling.

I bought this gaming laptop for playing Steam games on the PC. I have to say I’m pleasantly surprised.
The computer has a keyboard that glows different LED colors while you use it. It has 7.1 surround sound with headphones or just plain good sound without. It’s quick and quiet even without the additional the ram that everyone seems to advise (though I wish I didn’t have to take the entire bottom off to add more).
I wanted a gaming PC for the casual gamer.., mission accomplished.
