This is an okay laptop but it has several issues. Do not buy this if you plan on doing any sort of video or photo editing, specially on the go. Actually don't buy it if you plan to do anything on the go.1. The Fans: The 1650 in this laptop is nice but unless you want this thing to sound like a jet engine you're probably going to want to play your games at low settings. You can expect the GPU to reach 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit when playing demanding games.2. Battery life: The battery life is absolutely horrendous. You can expect around 1 hour of battery life no matter what you are doing. Once the battery gets to around 20% or 10% it will begin to lag and stutter a lot, so this means that only 45 minutes of that hour are actually usable. This makes it so that it needs to be plugged in all the time. Don't buy this if you travel at all.3. Color Accuracy: The monitor has a very high refresh rate which looks amazing, but this is at the expense of color accuracy; if you plan on doing any creative work with this laptop you will need an external monitor. The contrast and color of the monitor is not fit to do any sort of creative work. Also editing 4k video on premiere is impossible from how much it lags.This laptop also has multiple tiny annoying issues:The keyboard comes with RGB and it works fine, although it took me a while to find the right drivers and software for it; I also couldn't get the lights on the keyboard to look exactly like the ones in the pictures. The speakers are a little quiet. The realtek audio drivers can be a pain sometimes but recently I haven't had any major issues with them. This computer can't output to large 4K TVs for some reason, it will just crash. The num lock key doesnt have an indicator light for some reason. Finally, this computer crashes often, maybe its just me but It freezes up and gives me a blue screen at least once every week, but a simple restart will have it working again. Also the ASUS logo on the back lights up blue instead of gold like on the pictures.Overall this is a very mediocre laptop that doesn't do anything particularly well. It has lots of annoying flaws that honestly don't make this worth buying. The CPU and the GPU in this have very disappointing performance. They are just watered down versions of their desktop counterparts. However, some good things about this laptop include the fast boot up time, the RAM slot and the SATA slot, the anti dust fan system, the GPU and CPU chip being on opposite sides of the motherboard, how light it is, and how easy it is to access the RAM and SATA slots. Try not to spend more than $800 on this.
