me encanto llego todo perfecto, amo esta laptoop!!

So to be clear, I'm not running this laptop as it arrived. I find the included storage and memory to be lacking, and bumped it to 4TB and 64GB before I even first powered it on. So I'll avoid touching on those aspects of the laptop, but I'll at least say that 1TB of storage and 16TB of RAM is... probably adequate for most. I consider it weird that OEMs are sticking to those numbers when both components are priced as they are, but this is one of those parts that you can't help but know about when you make a purchase. It's up to you whether that's acceptable.Other than that though, the mobile 4070 has gone way past my expectations and can run everything I've thrown at it extremely competently. So far that includes games of varying heft, designing 3D models in Blender and Fusion 360, and some Stable Diffusion stuff using both 1.x and XL-based models. I haven't thrown it at anything more demanding than the built-in screen, but I'm going to go out on a limb and assume it could handle 4K/60 with high or even maxed settings in a lot of games.Battery life is actually pretty impressive for something with these kinds of specs, as anything in the "desktop replacement" corner often treats the battery as a UPS rather than a way to survive on the go. Not really the case for this one; I can get 2-3 hours just doing non-intensive tasks like watching videos or general browsing, and a 100W USB-C charger or battery pack could extend that quite a lot without taking up as much bag space as the included 240W power supply.The screen is really pretty. They do a good enough job advertising its features without my help, so I'll mostly just caveman this part and say that the colors are nice, the screen can get really bright but doesn't need to in order to look good, and the viewing angles are completely beyond concern.But since I opened this by saying I gut-swapped this laptop day one, I should probably address the serviceability for anyone thinking of doing the same either now or down the line if they get it: This laptop has a captive screw in the bottom right corner that lifts the cover just enough for you to slide in a guitar pick or the like and poke the retaining clips on the right side of the laptop. After that, it's a little fiddly but not that hard to just wiggle the whole cover off and get to work. The RAM and SSD are covered in some black paper tape that's easily removed, the RAM is covered in a single piece of foil tape, and some thermal pads for each SODIMM, and the SSD is wrapped in a bit of a foil sock. I'm assuming this is both for heat transfer and EMI shielding, but it's a bit weird to see it so overdone here when my last ASUS laptop did none of that. In any case I made note of the positions of everything and replaced it after I was done.Linux support is pretty decent so far. I'm just not a fan of Windows 11, but I'll spare y'all that mess and just say that Arch runs really nicely on this with only some modest tweaking. It may be outside of your comfort zone, but if you ever feel the need, I'm confident that most can just make it a part of their comfort zone if they try. I can't speak on the out of the box experience with all this stuff going on, but I love what resulted from less than a few hours' modifications and upgrades.

Good for price

Mouse trackpad is very unresponsive, laggy, and can't left click / right click easily.

My older computer runs at 3.8 ghz, this (so called) newer model runs at 2.8 ghz but is being described as over 4.7 ghz. That being said, it can overclock or run up to 4.7 ghz Processor. Now it was a nice computer once you have things setup and downloaded. I had trouble with the keys (color) not listening to my input. Until the update was downloaded after that. I was able to set the right lighting and tone for the keys. Another problem was that the keys light never went off. Unlike with other models that had a timer on them. This one stayed lit the entire time. I did not like that and after some months of use. I'm sure the light would burn out & you would be left with no backlight for your keys.

I bought this laptop 6 months ago, and overall I love it. It travels well, runs fast & smoothly, and can handle gaming like a champ. However, I notice that when I put it to sleep, the fans often will NOT turn back on until I turn the laptop off and back on (restarting doesn't help). The same happens for my Bluetooth devices, but that's more of a bother than a serious concern like the fans. I've had 4 or 5 instances now where I don't notice the heat until my game starts lagging, then I check my temps and see most of my CPU cores are at 100C or higher. I expect that these heat surges are hugely impacting my laptop's life, and if it burns out early, I will be avoiding ASUS for a while.Bottom line: Runs great, but the fan controller has a major problem.
