Confusing statement, probably, until you understand why:
- this is one of the slimmest profile gaming-capable laptops out there in the market. the screen is incredible, things are speedy, and regular use is incredible.
- there are, however, a few experience-breaking flaws.
speakers are extremely soft and underpowered. even at 100% physical and software volumes, it sounds like average speaker volume for any other laptop out there. and because they're underpowered, there's frequent crackles and static, even with regular browsing/streaming.
the laptop cooling system is wonky AF. as other commenters noted, the laptop will ratchet up to burn-your-thighs heat, and then have an epileptic fan attack trying to cool it down even 5 degrees. the support recommendation is to underclock your laptop. let's not even go into how ridiculous that is.
putting your laptop to sleep isn't "possible." the cooling drivers are broken so things don't "sleep" properly. asus' sleep mode is effectively "turn the screen black and change nothing else." if you hear your laptop making sporadic wheezing sounds while it's "asleep" ... that's why.
all in all, for $1000, it's a fine laptop. you'll be able to play most things you want with it, but you'll also be plagued by constantly wondering how it's possible to mess up the simplest things on a laptop.

Tried to exchange at Best Buy for another open box model but they said the system wouldn't allow it since the price had gone up and the sale price was below the system cost. After getting the run around between the store and the 1-888 number I finally gave up and just returned it.
Now that it's on sale again I see the open box prices have all been increased compared to 2 weeks ago.
bang per buck is better new right?

My only wish is that it wasn't white.
I'm sure some of it was software related, but they all had one or more of these issues during the entire return periods when I owned them, so I returned each one. I know I'm not the only one that's had those issues based on threads on Reddit, but yea that's my experience with ASUS over the last couple of years.. Plus, there was the whole liquid metal overflow fiasco with the G15 Strix. I know every company will have their QC issues, but 7 out or 7 for me was enough lol.

I have this Razer 15 from 4 years ago, the ADVANCED version.. and just received this used from BB but my Razer from 2019 advanced seems faster? Or do you think it's in my head?
