This simply cannot be beat performance wise, the 6800M is a monster. Ram upgrade is mandatory, and that'll put this to around 1600+ all things combined which is a steal as it competes with some of the lower/mid level wattage 3080's. External monitor will get it even closer but isn't required depending how CPU bound the games you play.

Severe QC issues riddle this laptop, namely liquid metal seeping onto the GPU and frying the laptop. Be ready for returns/repasting, worth overall
·
The bad reviews are mostly from a bad initial batch that had liquid metal applied incorrectly (causing component electrical shorts and overheating). They've since resolved that issue. I purchased this laptop for $1485 and it runs flawlessly, outperforming most 3070s and low TDP 3080s. The performance receives a boost from upgrading the ram to better timings (I purchased Crucial Ballistix CL20) and directly connecting an external monitor to the USB C port (since the USB C port directly connects to the GPU, whereas the HDMI port runs through the integrated graphics). This laptop also has about 9 to 11 hours of (non-gaming) battery life. It's been running extremely stable and I have no regrets at all.

Has pretty bad reviews at 3.8 average.

One of the two currently available laptops with AMD RDNA2 technology. The other one is the HP Omen.

Same price as July's Front Page deal.

I just bought this laptop this weekend for $1650 will be requesting a partial refund. Do your research, this is competing with the RTX3080 with the right RAM upgrade. It has no MUX switch but I don't care about that I game on an external monitor and the USB-C/DP is direct connected to the GPU. I have yet to get this in my hand but at $1500 it is an insane deal.

Has anyone attempted ditching the liquid metal for another paste?

I've had this laptop since release. Swapped the Ram for a faster kit, but it has been rock solid.

I am looking to get a gaming laptop for my son... this looks great and the price is awesome. However, is this the same laptop as the one in this thread below (problem with it shutting down I think)?

I

I purchased this unit 3 days ago and couldn't be happier! It came with a 512GB Intel M.2 SSD. There was also a blank space for a second M.2 drive that I occupied with a Samsung 980 SSD.

I'm won't recommend this laptop to anyone who's not willing to tinker with laptops. I have experience with two of this laptop. The first one has okay liquid metal application but it came with a missing tension spring on a screw that held the vapor chamber to the CPU&GPU. The second one has a really bad application of liquid metal seal around the GPU, it was so bad that I can see some of the liquid metal has already leaked out.
Not trying to bash this laptop since I did keep the second one since I have experience working with liquid metal before.

I just can't trust Asus... Poor build quality and support. Razer is just as bad on support, but at least the quality is better off to begin with.
