New model of old computer I loved

I just bought this durring Amazon prime week. My old ASUS ROG strix from 2017 was dying. After a highly demanding architecture master degree and running giantbrendeing files for years. I bought this because it seems to meet the requirements of AutoCAD, Revit, Enscape, Rhino, SketchUp and VRay. So far the screen is just as big as my old 17" laptop (this is a 16"). I'm interested to see how the "secret" number pad on the mouse works. But it's lighter and nicer looking. I haven't gotten to upload everything yet, but it looks good so far.

This thing is a monster right of the box

I needed something that would run all the modern games at good frame rates and also be useful for work and this is it.

The best in the price/quality category

I bought it 2 days ago, went shopping for a long time and tried to order on Amazon, but I saw negative reviews there and it put me off, I decided to take it to Best Buy, I am very happy, they brought it 1 day ahead of schedule, the new laptop was delivered in perfect condition

Great for demanding tasks and gaming power

I acquired the product about 20 days ago and without a doubt for university work it is crazy, since it will not present problems, and if we talk about games it is a machine, you can play everything you want at a good fps rate and with some excellent graphics

Awesome 2 in one laptop

Very convenient touch screen which so many ways to set up the laptop. I'm currently using it at work for blueprint reading and I'm using it at home for my laser cutting hobbies.

Perfect Combo of Performance and Protability

Love this laptop. Great combo of features relative to size. Wish the GPU could receive higher voltage to make the most of the 4090m power present in the larger sized ASUS laptops.

Closest match to purchased laptop. Reviewed laptop model in title. Performance is great when stable. Screen likes to blank out sometimes, mostly when changing from performance to boost. The mode change is triggered when you plug in the power supply. Coil noise can definitely be heard but doesn't bother me much. Runs very cool. For the price I would expect smoother and quicker response times. Not happy with the default ram shipped with unit. At this price point the ram frequency should be higher and the built in camera should be higher resolution. The keyboard picks up oil extremely easy (even with clean hands) and requires regular cleaning. Build materials could be slightly better. Other than that, its pretty solid but only worth it if you have money to throw away. Oh and the keyboard lighting is not consistent. It changes modes and goes out about once every 5 reboots which is way bad. You have to go in and change settings to get it back to what it should be.

Super Fast and Reliable

I am doing maps and photogrametry for 5 years now and decoded to get this laptop to run my mapping softwares. This softwares are heavy load and process tons of data in a relative short ammount of time. The ROG Strix is working perfectly, no crashes, no interruptions just perfect. Recommended.

Powerful machine

I was looking for a gaming laptop with an RTX 3060 or better. For the price, I think it's the best deal I could find and I love it. Games are running with max settings flawlessly. The fans are noisy when they are at full speed but in my opinion it's normal.

Portability, upgradability, reliability!

This is a year's worth of usage but I have to say, this little ROG laptop was a worthwhile workhorse for gaming and everyday college use! There are two drawbacks, namely the inability to do RAID 0 and the occasional GPU glitch, but all in all, will definitely buy again!

This is my first ASUS and first AMD Ryzen computer -- love this laptop! Quiet, fast, beautiful QHD display. If you're considering a laptop with this kind of horsepower, check out Lisa Gade's spot-on review at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WmaCTwoUlg. I'm a data scientist, not a gamer, but I can tell the NVIDIA 3070 graphics card and 165 Hz/3ms refresh will work great for them.
