I am a System Administrator with 13 years of experience, before that I worked as a computer technician and then as IT help desk. So I have over 20 years in the computer field. I wanted to give my thoughts on this laptop because for some reason it seems to be decisive.

I bought this laptop on black friday for the 979.99 Price. For 90% of people this is the best deal for a 4070 laptop. It's far from perfect but it's very good for the price.

I have played Hogwarts Legacy, Palworld, and a few other games with no problems and good results as far as fan noise and computer performence. Since then, when I saw this post, I bought a second one for my brother who needed a new gaming laptop.

The track pad is good and smooth with great responsiveness. The screen is very good picture and I've had no issues with it's quality or defects. I hate the freaking backlit keyboard. actual typing is fine, but the brightness options for the backlight are bright, really bright, and off. Its a small issue since i don't really look to type, but it is an annoyence I haven't found a solution for. The speakers are crap but usable, however this is unforunately very common for laptop speakers. It is running ddr4, but unless you are doing something other then playing games or what I would call normal consumer use with this laptop you will not notice a difference between ddr4 and ddr5. For all standard users I would recommend this laptop as new graphics cards probably aren't coming to laptops till q1 2025. This is due to the switch to ddr7 for graphics cards, so I'll link some articles below.

If you are doing Graphic design, autoCad, or some other more intensive, uses this is not the laptop for you. The fans will get loud from the constant pounding. The ddr4 to ddr5 will make a difference however large or small in your use case. The thermals are good for a laptop, but the fan noise can get a little loud even in gaming, so the constant pressure of these heavier workloads will probably lead to coil whine down the road. There will be other deals in the future that are better for your needs.

I don't get why this laptop is recieving so much hate here. This is a deal, and probably the best deal available right now. However I almost posted this because I didn't see it posted yet and it has a zero score.

Maybe someone else can tell me why they don't like it but my experience overall has been good. Sorry for the very long post.

Realistically, you won't be able to tell DDR5 or DDR4 on this machine

Very fair review. I'd also add that the 4070 will perform well on the 1080p screen for those not as concerned with rez. If 1080 is your preference, this card will be relevant for 3 years.

Either way, this can be externally connected to a 1440p monitor for those looking for that rez.

I bought an open box one of these for $956 last week. Thought it was a steal but missed the part about DDR4 RAM. Can't be upgrade to DDR5 without new motherboard

Was already going back but def going back now that its on sale
Ddr4 is a whole lot better compared to ddr5 than you think, significantly lower latency which is better for games.

If you look up comparisons you'll find they are neck and neck

Zephyrus G14 with a 4060 for $100 more is a better laptop.

I have a g14 on the way. I got an open box right before the sale ended for $950.47 total

Then, I ordered an open box for this one before the sale and just got it price matched for 943.39 total.

So assuming they both come in excellent condition like the open box states then which one? Still not a fan of the DDR4.

Also, have an a15 4050 I got for $899 from Asus directly. The website said 4070 so that one is going back unless they can wiggle a good bit on that price.

The machine supports 64GB ram

https://a.co/d/0A6i4EW

TEAMGROUP Elite DDR4 64GB Kit (2 x 32GB) 3200MHz PC4-25600 CL22 (2933MHz or 2666MHz) Unbuffered Non-ECC 1.2V SODIMM 260-Pin Laptop Notebook PC Computer Memory Module Ram Upgrade - TED464G3200C22DC-S01

I'm able to get 165+ frames per second playing starfield on ultra setting

The machine does get hot. The CPU is the bottleneck as it hits 98C temperature.

Otherwise, this machine is a beast.
Uninstall armory crate and install ghelper. You'll have no problems using the laptop in fan silent mode with dGPU disabled for most everyday tasks.

I've stopped using my i7 gen 11 cpu + RTX3060ti Dell xps 8940 desktop because this laptop performs better

The DC power supply brick provides up to 240W. It has two usb-c; one of the ports supports up to 100W PD.

It can handle powering my Samsung G9 49 inch monitor with no problems.

I bought mine open box for $905 before tax

Just remember that open box Asus means a 3 month warranty. Best Buy won't tell you, and may not even be aware, but it's all over Reddit.

Not a bad deal (again), but the DDR4 makes the deal less than hot.

Yeah I thought about that too...guessing you don't just provide them with a receipt, right?

This is a hell of a deal. Great buy for folks looking for a sub-1k laptop, especially with the upgradeability it has.
