5.0 out of 5 stars Love This Laptop - But Not Perfect for Everyone
By Gibby
I don't have too much to say about it. It runs about as well as my PC at home, if not better.I've used it to play AAA titles and MMOs in the late evening while on trips out of town, to do work for college, coding & my job. It's a great laptop.A few things to consider. While the numpad that's build into the touchpad is neat at first... it's just a nuisance when your catch your hand on it while gaming & then you're hitting random buttons on accident. Also, the resolution isn't 16:9, it is 16:10. You're going to have issues getting the full screen to be filled for some games & you're going to lose 1-2 inches of screen to black-bars in games such as Elden Ring.However, I feel like the 16:10 resolution provides for a more compact laptop shape. I have a 16:9 laptop & it feels so lopsided to use or carry around. This one feels great. Plus you have more vertical space for say, writing a program in VSCode or the like. So it's a bit of a give & take there.PSA - I'm told ASUS customer service is horrible these days. If you have any issues with your laptop, please be warned you might be best off seeking other routes for repairs. Even if you are in warranty. There's plenty of videos on Youtube about it. Gamers Nexus is the one that alerted me to the potential issue.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worthy device if money's not that big of a problem!
By Siddarth Manoj Kumar
I love the fact that the laptop has a desktop-level processor along with a 4060 driver to unleash its potential (Although 4060 is bare minimum for gaming in today's market). I love the flashiness (USP of ROGs) and opted for an ROG as I had one before (Strix Hero 2) and the compliments I got along with my usage experience has been top-notch - Decided my next rig should be a ROG device as well and well, here I am with the new one! Oh, and the display, ROGs display has been one of the best I've come across and this rig with its 240Hz WQXGA display is stunning!The only reason I'd mark it down by a star is for the logo being engraved and not supporting RGB and the trackpad on a high-priced device not getting the numpad feature. Numpad and RGB logo is something I'd miss from my Hero 2!But overall, a nice and much awaited update! I am happy with the purchase and I'd say, if you need a laptop which is amazing for its use case, has an amazing quality and great design that could turn heads (trust me, this is one of the reason I stick with the ROG), this is a fabulous device you could spend on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good So Far!

I heard mixed reviews on this. I took a chance and it's only been 2 weeks, but so far so good. The Alienware software takes about 10 to 20 seconds to load when first opening it. after that 5-10. The back end got flack for being too big. But Who is really carrying around a 16 inch gaming laptop. Keys feel great. RGB is good. Keys are clear and not blinding like most RGB backlits. Design is good imo. feels premium. Cam is decent. Touch pad is smooth. Display is nice, all text is clear and colors are good. I heard many people complaining about the brightness levels. But in a dark room I actually turn the brightness down. And in my home with normal outdoor light coming in, I have no issues with the brightness. 2 usb 2 usb c, this is the only downside. in my opinion. I wish there was one more. I do like there are no cables coming from the sides. All ports in back. Cleaner desk look. will update if I have any issues.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy this laptop!!!

This laptop is a GIANT waste of money. It didn't last for 2 weeks before the system stopped charging itself and shut down. I had to return it without being able to remove my data. I am VERY disappointed with this product and purchase.
