*If you own this laptop, make sure you update the bios to the latest version, the original bios the laptop comes with causes random shutdowns*Pros:-Good build quality.-Actually comes with phase change material. Probably PTM7950 by Honeywell. ( I opened it up to check)-Great cooling, the CPU doesn't run hot at all, GPU also stays cool. Fans are fairly quiet under load.-Single core performance is great.So is multicore for a 12 cores processor, while the effecinecy is insane, so no worries about CPU bottleneck with the RTX 4070.-The iGPU (890M) is fast, it's fast enough to play games.-Battery life is extremely good for a gaming laptop due to the chipset.-Display is quite decent, though not as good as on the G16 or Lenovo Legion 7 Pro.-Decent Keyboard.-The laptop's design is subtle enough and not too gamery but still beautiful.Cons:-Laptop is very sluggish at first, due to all the Asus bloatware. You have to uninstall armoury crate and all the unnecessary Asus software and install G Helper, will make boot times faster too. After it's done updating all the Windows stuff and it's bloatware free it's snappy.-Expensive, the R9 370hx is a bit overpriced in my opinion. This exact laptop with a 7940hx which is a 16 cores part costs 300$ less, and is not that much slower in single thread.-Speakers aren't that great-They should've made a white and an all black versions, I don't really like the greyish color.-Couldve used better materials for a 1600$ laptop.

This laptop has some good features, however the build quality wasn't all that great in my opinion. This particular laptop I received suffered from the bad or faulty wifi card Asus has issues with at times. Every other piece of tech in my household was connected fine, however this laptop in the matter of having it for 2 days, dropped internet connection constantly or would just flat out not connect. It also was getting 100kb/s download speeds while another device was at 10+ mb/s. Disappointing to say the least. I returned this and will be looking for other options. 0/2 on my Asus laptop experiences.
