According to Passmark, this laptop’s Ryzen 7 processor is only 3% faster than the i7 processor in my old laptop, yet this laptop feels like it is 5x faster. I’m guessing there’s more to the story than just CPU throughput, like the bandwidth of the AMD chipset drivers. I bought this mainly because the USB 3 ports on my HP laptop were flaky, one would only work with USB 2 devices. All my USB 3 devices work perfectly with the AMD laptop. I’m done with Intel, for now.
I added an ADATA 8GB RAM module, and an ADATA 2TB SATA3 SSD. I also love the 17-inch screen. It’s only 1080, but after having two laptops with 4K screens, I’m liking 1080 just fine.

Definitely everything I promised. I got it for a really good deal. Have enjoyed it for my video editing and for my 3D modeling.

I wrote a review a while ago. Wanted to update it with my current situation.
This is overall a good laptop for the price. Out of the box, 8 GB of ram isn’t enough though.
I went out and bought a dual channel 32gb ram, made things a lot smoother.
Most games can run on medium to high settings with playable FPS.
Mount and Blade 2 runs about 110 FPS on high settings, but during seiges the FPS can drop to about 50 FPS. (Before the dual channel ram seiges were at lows of 14 FPS, but I think that was an early release bug that was fixed in the game)
GTA V runs almost always 60+ FPS om highest settings. No lag issues. (Before dual channel ram it was like 50 FPS on highest settings)
War Thunder lits between 110-140 FPS oh high settings. (90 FPS before dual channel ram)
My point is, get dual channel ram. It helps a lot.
I haven’t tested very many tripple A games yet. Gotta buy them first before i try them.
512 GB of memory is a bit low for me. I like to have multiple games downloaded so i can pick from a good selection. But, the solid state drive is fast and does it’s job.
Laptop does get hot when gaming for long periods of time. I’d recommend a laptop cooling pad if your gaming for more than an hour. Fan also gets very loud when on Turbo mode, but if you have a headset you don’t notice.
RGB is nice. Screen is crisp. Keyboard feels nice. Laptop camera does its job.
I do recommend this laptop, just get dual channel ram and maybe a laptop cooling pad.

Bought this “used like new”. Computer works fine, but battery died in less than 90 days.
Will not hold charge, which renders it useless for a college student who needs to take it to class.
Only works when plugged in.

Really a big fan of this laptop, and 200% confidence would get another ASUS Tuf Gaming laptop again. I bought this after using an Alienware 17 for several years. The Alienware was super bulky and heavy – built like a tank – and had cooling issues. In fact, the wiring actually melted inside and fried the hard drive, even though I used a cooling pad (which is a common issue with those per reviews).
But THIS laptop I’ve had now for over 6 months and it runs amazing. I recently upgraded RAM, which I highly recommend if you’re going to be gaming – 16 or more. Also love that it has an open 2.5″ SSD slot – adding a 500gb SSD SATA III today in the open slot. 500GB is great if you’re only playing one game or lightweight games, but anything hefty will eat up a lot of the space. For example, CoD Cold War needs 250gb, but I play 4-5 games so altogether they’re more than the out-of-box SSD can handle for storage. Upgrading RAM + SSD was about 120 after tax and easy to upgrade! Playing WoW, I can run on max graphics even in 40-man BGs with 60FPS. I plan on using this for years and am very impressed with how lightweight this is and how well this runs. **Great value** for a gaming laptop.

Totally satisfied.

Been using this for college work, regular googling, and a little gaming here and there. The keyboard is nice and I love the look of rgb lights shining underneath. Visuals look good when watching videos or playing a game. My actual only issue with the laptop is the lack of battery life it has. The laptop is listed for up to 5 hours, yet when i checked the hours it has left it always has a max time of 2 hours which is really poor. I could just have a faulty power supply or may not but 2 hours of battery life is really hard to deal with incase you want to use the laptop on the go. Other than battery life the laptop still looks great and works great as well.

I got this within the last 30 days (3 weeks ago, to be exact). I have treated it very well because I was excited about all the good reviews. It has crashed to blue screen multiple times already with a “THREAD STUCK IN DEVICE DRIVER” error message. My wireless USB mouse stopped working mysteriously even though it works on my other computer, and the fan sometimes ramps up and gets very loud when I’m not even using the computer. The seller, AMAZING WAREHOUSE DEAL(Record SN) return policy states “We hold the right to charge at least 50% restocking” and “If you file a defective product return, the defective return must be filed within the 15 days of the delivery of the product. We will send the returned product to the third party to inspect the product condition. We will give you a full refund if the defective product is approved to be defective.” So this product revealed its worthlessness just late enough for me to be ineligible for a return.
