ASUS - ROG Zephyrus 15.6 QHD Gaming Laptop - AMD Ryzen 9 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 - 1TB SSD - Eclipse Grey - Eclipse Grey

I got this baby for gaming. Ive been and aways will be a mac user, for personal and for professional use, and this is my first owned windows PC. I have made custom PC builds in the past so Im no stranger to windows and PCs. I will try to be specific here to avoid fanboy type review.

Absolutely wonderful laptop, ASUS did a great job with the thermal performance - allowing the laptop to run at maximum clock speeds throughout excel calculations or simulations. The 8-cores and 16 thread AMD CPU keeps productivity high, while keeping fan speeds down thanks to its great TDP. I was able to upgrade my memory to 40Gb, sadly 8Gb is soldered on - for the future a second M.2 SSD is planned for backup. Because of this upgrade I was able to disable Windows Paging file for additional performance and to boost SSD longevity. Battery life is good, 5-6 hours away from a socket keeps this laptop mobile around anywhere. The 1440p 165Hz display gives a great balance between sharpness and smoothness, feeling snappy and good color accuracy! My only real complaint is the locked BIOS, not allowing me to change RAM memory frequency.

Had to send in to be repaired after less than 2 months because of randomly restarting. Took 10+ days, then came back with same problem plus freezes, buffering lag, library 126 errors, missing software, overheating, dead pixel in middle of screen and chip on body. Instead of offering a replacement, Asus only response is to send it in again.

Hasta ahora todo bien. Un poco de bloatware. Esta muy rápida para el trabajo de desarrollo de software. Se extraña un poco la cámara, pero, a la vez me da la seguridad de que no me están espiando. Hubiera estado excelente tuviera Windows 10 pro. El vendedor excelente, no tuve ningún problema con el envío o el contacto. Llego dentro del rango de tiempo anunciado, y antes de la fecha límite.

Bought new through here on Amazon Arrived safe and sound. The Box was not damaged in shipping. But the keyboard and RGB lighting was not working at all on first boot up! Tried ASUS Customer services. But didnt get anywhere.

after first time return and refund a defective laptop which cannot power on
