It runs everything well. Not a great value. Check other options as prices change frequently.

Strong in small package

This laptop is a speed demon. I get 12550 on 3dmark and that’s stock out of the box. You can get as high as 14k if you overclock. The Intel cpu scores way higher than amd as well. They did awesome this generation. The only thing is I didn’t get a soft case like I see on many reviews. I am in the USA and got it from Amazon on Black Friday for 1600 usd. I used the saved money to buy a 64gb memory upgrade and bought a 2tb wd black 850x that scored 6900 read and 6700 write. That’s a great score since you never get as high as most advertise. The advertised speed is 7300. I have been using this laptop for 3 months and it hasn’t crashed yet.

First boot froze for two hours, after restarting it I wiped the drive and installed windows 10 and its much better. I did get a black screen twice my first day while gaming but fixed some settings and swapped out the SSD for a better one. The laptop is on par with my gaming PC (i9 9900k, asus strix 3080 GPU) when I run tests (novabench, userbench and MW benchmark for fps).

Good laptops are hard to get a hold of, and this one was no different. Found it here and jumped on it for my son who is going into the ECE program and needed this level of performance.

***Important Update: Noticed that when the laptop plugged in AC power, and play anything with sound. The touchpad will stop working without any reason, and will work again after stop playing the sound.

I got the i9-13980hx with the RTX 4070 version.

Es mi primera laptop gaming que me he comprado, la verdad que todo muy bien desde el envío por parte de Amazon, la caja muy bien compacta. Ahora bien, la laptop en sí no me ha dado problemas he jugado al Rust de manera fluida, obviamente como toda laptop gaming se calienta pero es aceptable y para el precio creo que ha sido una buena compra.

This is a great gaming computer but it does have a few shortfalls for a computer that is in its price point.

Ive been using Asus products for years to be fair to the brand. However, my experience with this laptop is that after just longer than two months Im working with Asus support to have it fixed. Its been a pain since I got it with the I/O acting up. Today the laptop shut off randomly when plugging in monitors to the thunderbolt and USBC and they are dead.
