It is the perfect browsing, office, entertainment laptop. Stays quiet and cool for all those activities, while the 500 nits monitor is the best in laptops besides the lenovo's 500 nits monitor to match. There are only two 500 nits monitors on the market and this is the best bang for buck option, of the two.
For gaming this is not the greatest, it will get hot and its performance is lacking. You will have to play everything at lowest settings and it will still run hot. Just be aware of that, I have come to terms with it because I mainly game on desktop anyway. It does seem to play League of Legends and other low demanding games fine, but just don't expect much at all from it performance wise. I am disappointed in the performance very much with gaming, since its a gaming laptop and all games have to be in the lowest settings. I am not surprised however, since reading up on laptop GPUs and how their performance really is nothing like their desktop counterparts. You should be aware that laptop GPU's are like 50% as powerful and run hotter than their desktop models. So, laptops in general have weak performance and lack cooling needed for gaming.
As long as you enjoy the laptop for what it is, this is the best laptop on the market right now for this price range. Assuming you get a non-defective model.
The screen is absolutely beautiful, the 500 nits really makes a huge difference. You will never go back to anything lower. The speakers are theater grade in my opinion. The keyboard is high quality. It looks very cool. It does have USB C charging and an SD Reader built-in. In my opinion 14" is the sweet spot for laptops and this makes it perfect for around the home and travel use.
I would recommend this laptop for those who want to do everything, although just keep in mind gaming will be limited to low graphics settings and it will get hot. Since laptop coolers all suck, except an $80 blower model on amazon, I went with a $10 metal folding/tilting stand also on amazon. This allows it to breathe better and didnt add much to the cost. Having the laptop tilted, is around the same cooling performance as lack luster cooling pads without the noise.
If you want heavy duty gaming in particular, I would wait for the next gen GPU laptops. Although, expect to pay 3 times the price of this. 2-4k range, since the 4090 by itself cost $1600 already.
All in all, I am happy with this laptop for around the house and traveling. I do all heavy gaming on my desktop.
I am still tinkering for best performance, so if anyone has driver tips feel free to chime in. I installed the drivers from Armoury Crate and Asus website, while the Asus app and windows did all the other updates. Seems to be pretty responsive, but I wonder if could be better haha. I did not notice any difference with installing AMD gpu driver with amd software vs Asus website standalone driver without AMD software.

There sure seem to be a lot of open box ones available around me. Might have to roll the dice...

Now if you do not play any games at all, does it still get hot?
