UPDATE AFTER 1 DAY: out of the box had terrible coil whine and mini led whine, but after updating bios to v 306 it went away almost completely. Timespy result 18759. Thermals are great. This was a big worry w gaming laptop, so hopefully low temps will help longevity. Will update over time.
UPDATE AFTER 2 WEEKS: I mostly gave up using this thing on the go. Battery life is too short, even for web browsing/YT. I'm a programmer and it breaks my concentration after an hour warning about battery life. So now I treat this as a "portable desktop" -- it must always be plugged in. And no, USB-C is not a good solution because it reduces performance and battery life (the USB-C just charges the battery, which is then used to power the laptop). I knew battery life was bad on gaming laptops, but this really surprised me.
Another issue is the software. As reported by many users on reddit (r/gaminglaptops shoutout), Nvidia drivers are causing constant black screen freezing. Seems related to iGPU/dGPU switching. I guess that will be fixed eventually, but for now I downgraded to 528.66 provided by ASUS directly which are stable no crashes.
With BIOS 307 you are able to undervolt the CPU. I'm running stable at -100 now. Very nice. Combined with PL limit to 60W, my CPU stays 70-90 C temp range with no thermal throttle and still v good perf. Altho this laptop has a good cooling system, the 13th gen intel gets very hot in this smaller chassis so I found these steps necessary.
Overall, I'm still satisfied w the system because of beast performance. I will update again, but hopefully ASUS and Nvidia sort out stability issues. For now lowered to 4 stars due to software issues, coil whine, and extremely short battery life.
UPDATE AFTER 4 WEEKS: All good basically just waiting for software updates. Once you learn to work around the issues it's a beast. BTW, I registered this review to get a warranty extension. So disclosing that I am receiving a warranty extension from ASUS for this feedback. Will keep updating this review over time...
UPDATE AFTER 3 MONTHS: New BIOS upgrades have brought stability and support for 5600mhz memory sticks. Also coil whine mostly went away. Not sure if it's from new BIOS or laptop finally "wearing in" as I read. I still hear it momentarily when loading stuff up, but it's 95% less than before. Feels great cuz this laptop is a beast. Rendering videos and reloading assemblies like a champ.
HOWEVER, graphical problems still persist like flickering and black screen. ASUS recommended using 4 month-old Nvidia drivers to fix this. Those old drivers do solve some problems, but performance drops in some games (I get 45 FPS in C2077 Overdrive using old drivers vs 75 FPS w new). And if you use latest Nvidia drivers you get a perf boost but then screen flickers returns. Lastly, maybe related but I noticed some old games run hot as hell. My CPU hit 110 C (!!!) momentarily playing Phantom Doctrine. But most new games don't go above 95 C hmm...
One big takeaway from this whole experience is that gaming laptops are still niche. # of users is prob 1/10 of desktops, so drivers and software are not tested as well and bugs not caught quickly and treat w urgency. And importantly there's less info out there to help you solve your problems. So if you don't like tinkering, stick w desktop for your workhorse.
Pros:
* Decent CPU/GPU/RAM combo that can indeed run most games at very good FPS
Cons:
* In-built display runs 240hz fine, however a gamer always wants a bigger screen, I got a decent 240hz OLED and had all sorts of trouble connecting it to the laptop's USB-C/Display Port. Basically USB 3.2 ports are highly unstable on this laptop, so very often you either witness artifacts (that are gone on lower hz) or the port stops detecting display (I tested 5+ different high quality cables and also different display). I tried all the guides/possible fixes etc no results (pretty sure its a hardware issue)
* GPU/CPU overheats fast and you have to buy extra fans support stand or something to cool it off. Gets hot.
* The build of this pc (its body etc) is quite cheap looking plastic
BUT, it’s almost like I was sent an unfinished laptop. I’ve been having issues where the laptop does not wake up from sleep, many options are missing from the settings, and my USB hubs don’t work after sleep. It’s very frustrating that I spent $3k on a laptop that has issues like this. I know ASUS won’t see this review or fix anything I’ve said, but to my fellow consumers: I do not recommend ordering this laptop; buy it or something else in-person.
