1.0 out of 5 starsI believe ASUS is using poor quality motherboards and/or components in their relatively well priced ...

Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2017

Capacity: 1 TB HDDVerified Purchase

Upon receiving this device, the motherboard was faulty causing intermittent graphics issues. I sent the device in for repair, and it returned with a similar issue. 2 years later the bluetooth is no longer working. I purchased another ROG laptop a bit later, and it is experiencing the same bluetooth issues conveniently after the warranty has expired. I contacted support a number of times, and ASUS was not accommodating. I purchased the device because I needed it immediately. I expressed to ASUS customer service that my need for a replacement computer immediately, however, I was told no, and had to send the laptop into the warranty department and wait TWO weeks for it to be returned. It was returned with the same issue!!! I had no choice at the time, but to accept the faulty screen tearing graphic's issues as a new part of my life :). The decision to not contact Amazon for an immediate return and refund eventually led to a computer exhibiting faulty behavior in many areas of Windows not isolated to the graphics errors before eventually having critical hardware failures of bluetooth, wireless, and graphics. To put this in perspective, I purchased a Dell laptop that lasted 10 years under considerably rougher usage conditions. The Dell laptop was only replaced for a processor and graphics card upgrade/update, not because of faulty hardware.

I believe ASUS is using poor quality motherboards and/or components in their relatively well priced laptops. I had been a long time fan of ASUS products, and considered them a leader in the sector of computer hardware and components, however, I recommend not purchasing from ASUS now or at any point in the future regardless of their past prestige whether real or imagined.

I warmly hope this review reaches you, and makes you smile :)

1.0 out of 5 starsIt's great.... when it works.

Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2018

Capacity: 1 TB HDDVerified Purchase

As a veteran IT guy, I know how to properly take care of a laptop... however within the three years I've had this machine, I've had to purchase a new battery because it stopped holding a charge MUCH sooner than it should have, a new power adapter because the original one just stopped working, a new LCD screen because the old one just stopped working for no reason, and now it's pending me dropping $400 on a MOTHERBOARD because it no longer recognizes a wifi card nor will display anything on the LCD. I've always recommended ASUS to everyone, but I've had sooo many problems out of this one, in good conscious, I no longer can. For a $1200 laptop (at the time of purchase), I'm having to spend half that within a three year period because the issues that happened YEARS before they should have, weren't covered by the manufacturer's warranty...

1.0 out of 5 starsnothing broke and everything works as good as new

Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2015

Capacity: 1 TB HDD + 128GB SSDVerified Purchase

Update: The hard drive went kaput after 16 months, I lost a lot of data.I bought a new hard drive, same SSD as the original, but now it's been a month since the fix and it frequently crashes and often fails to boot unless I go mess with the bios.It's pretty close to dead.In the last 25 years, most of my computing components, desk top computers, and laptops usually last at least 5 years.This was a mid/high end product at the time of purchase and it is very disappointing to have a 18 month life span.Asus used to mean quality and longevity, that trust is gone.Downgraded to 1 star.

Below is the original review, keeping that the same.
Had this for more than six months now, nothing broke and everything works as good as new.

First the negatives:
When it was new, one of the keys didn't press down all the way, it works, but one of the corners on that key didn't go down at all and it was super annoying.So I had to pop it out and trim a tiny piece off in that corner to fix it.Not a big deal if you have ever popped off a key before, but might be annoying to some.That is really the only thing wrong with it quality wise.

Switching between the integrated and Nvidia graphics had some issues in the past, but a driver update fixed it.

There are minor annoyances with the keyboard lighting, but that is really getting down the to nitty gritty.

It didn't have the option to use Win7, but that's more a Win8 issue than a laptop issue.I installed a UI shell right away and been happy enough ever since.

That's really it on the things that bothered me at all.Given the price and the overall performance and experience, I do not feel this warranted taking off any stars.

The overall experience:
The laptop is a good mid range gaming computer and good enough to handle most of the current games at mid graphics settings.I haven't tried the latest and greatest FPS on it, the most I use this for are some MMOs and MOBAS, but it handles them without any problems.Besides high end games and high end CAD usage, it will handle anything else for a typical home or office user.

For daily work and home usage: MS Office suite, light CAD work, web surfing, watching videos, etc, it doesn't break a sweat.

I am very happy with the decision to spring for the SSD plus 1T HDD, it starts up WIN8 in about 10 seconds and I have not experienced the stutters that I've felt with every other laptop I owned before.I believe that the computer should be waiting for me, and never the other way around.Higher end desktops with SSD will also give similar experience, but this is the first laptop where it's been true.So quite happy about that.If the price difference is not a big issue, I would definitely recommend it.

The screen is sharp, but it is only 15 inches, I knew that going in.And I have not had any issues with it in any lighting condition.I never used it outside on a sunny day, but near a window in Starbucks on a sunny day was no issue.Haven't noticed any dead pixles, I checked very carefully when it was new, and although I didn't do the same check before writing the review, I've never noticed any during regular usage.Lately, it's been hooked up to an external 27 inch display, and the performance was not affected at all, even though the resolution is much higher.I was happily surprised by that.

The speakers are above average for a laptop; and on an absolute scale, they are good, but not great.Even though I bought some nice external speakers for home use, I would say the speakers are good enough that I didn't have to if I didn't want to.

Battery performance was average, I got around 3 hours offline using office software and around 2 hours if playing games.Not terrific, but it's in line with what I expect for a gaming laptop.

Cooling has not been an issue even after 6 months, it's barely warm to the touch when not gaming, and warm but not hot when gaming.It's noticeably better than other laptops I've owned before.

I was never a fan of any touch pad, the one on this laptop works well enough for what it is.I try to use a mouse whenever possible.

There are enough ports for what I use it for, and the wireless works as expected, these are things that are good by virtue of never becoming an issue.

It's not upgraded to Win10 yet, but that's more because of my feelings about MS than with the laptop.

4.0 out of 5 starsBuena compra, algunas fallas de sistema

Reviewed in Mexico on December 26, 2015

Capacity: 1 TB HDDVerified Purchase

Muy poderosa para su precio, probablemente lo mejor que pude haber encontrado para el uso que le doy. He tenido dos problemas: me ha dado pantalla azul mas de 5 veces en los 2 meses que la he tenido, y dejó de funcionar la luz del teclado por unos dias hasta que instalé una actualización de asus.
Adobe Premier lo corre increible, y he corrido perfectamente juegos como counter strike, RWC4, etc. Se quedan facilmente las huellas digitales cuando tocas la computadora por el exterior e interior, dificil de limpiar.
