I bought a decent MSI gaming laptop last year and it had glitches and crashes from the get go, things have smoothed out with it, but it's lost the original fps it used to operate at. Now, I've bought this ASUS TUF Gaming Laptop for like $900 and holy crap the difference is astounding!! Not ONE issue with it in all the months I've had it, what a difference and relief! It runs smooth as freaking butter and is slick as heck to look at and use. I run games like Rainbow Six Siege on pretty high graphics and World of Tanks on max graphics. They both run at like 80fps which is really nice. It has very good ventilation, so if you run any smaller games or apps, you don't feel it heating up at all. But you still have really good fan speed options to turn it to. The screen quality is beautiful. I remember just turning to YouTube to watch some videos on it and it was the most crisp image, I was so surprised about that difference as well. The 500gb of SSD is more than enough for all the games and everything I play on as well. I was afraid from changing from my 1Tb HDD, but no worries for that. Never expected such a complete package of wonders from this laptop when all I was looking to upgrade in the first place was the fps I could play at, and maybe louder audio output, which it delivered on for sure.
