Be sure to watch the Gamers Nexus video on Asus, and do research before you purchase ANY Asus product. There RMA department has been allegedly incredibly shady. I have no experience with it as I don't purchase Asus products, but as a warning to consumers to do the due diligence make sure to do your research.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pMrssIrKcY
WARNING: DO NOT BUY ASUS RIGHT NOW until they publicly address their RMA shenanigans.
I own a GL702VM. It came with a 128GB SSD. I swapped it out with a 512gb NVME ssd. When doing that I reloaded windows as I wanted to be sure it was clean. After a few years I took the BIOS update from Windows Updates. Since my primary drive had been replaced, the BIOS would no longer allow me to boot from the SSD that had been the boot drive for years. Years. When I say boot, I mean, 4 beeps and no display. Dead. D.E.D dead.

I contacted Asus as to what to do, and all they could do was tell me to reboot, and hold the power button down, etc. Nothing worked. Then they quoted me like $800 to fix it as 'the motherboard must be bad'. I went on Ebay, found the exact same BIOS chip programmed from a third party. Purchased one of the BIOS readers on Amazon after reading that you can program it as long as you don't have power to the motherboard. I read the chip from the third party vendor, and flashed the bios chip in the laptop to a very old BIOS. Fired right up.

They continue to have that BIOS on Windows update. If an unsuspecting consumer who upgraded a pretty useless drive on a $1600 laptop updates it, they may brick their machine. Even after explaining all of this to Asus and doing the process over the phone with them, they failed to assist at all. They deliberately have a BIOS version out on Windows update that has the potential of bricking the laptop. I will never buy another Asus product.

Laptop still runs fine if I ignore their 'recommended' update. Planned obsolescence. Such a dirty practice.

Gamers Nexus made a negative video about literally every option. MSI Gigabyte Lenovo Acer Amazon Newegg. If you're going to cancel every company soon there will be none left. Asus is just the current punching bag until another one comes along and everybody forgets about it.

Is there anything inaccurate about the Gamers Nexus video? Didn't think so. Move on and stop shilling for corporations like they're the cool kids you're trying to impress at school.

i know who gamers nexus is but because i see them referenced a lot on reddit but ive never watched them. but i know according to reddit and gamers nexus, never buy anything apple, dell, lenovo, acer, framework, because of whatever they did. so now we are adding asus to that list, which is fine. but im questioning what else is the option? sounds like you might be shilling for one of those other companies. and to be fair this isnt a good deal anyways, too small laptop, inferior cpu, etc.

I'm playing cod WW2 on "normal" settings (nothing set to high, haven't tried actually) if that's any indication. Doesn't seem choppy or too "low res" to me but certainly not glamorous like some of the YouTube vids I see of this game.

The gamers nexus video is weird, but really it was just 1 guy had a bad RMA experience. Whole issue was probably just someone's first day on the job.

Quote from B16707 :
i have this laptop as well as thinkpads before and im using a thinkpad KU1255 keyboard for my desktop comp as im typing as we speak. Nothing compares to a ibm keyboard but thats not to say this one is that much far off. Its got good feedback and travel in my opinion and feels great also. Ive also considered the G14 but really wanted the 2in1 for my graphics work and no other 2in1 comes with graphics as close as this even if its integrated. Been playing COD WW2 just fine and suits my purposes. Quality is great on this laptop. For casual titles, id ignore all the comments of "i dont get why this laptop is called a gaming laptop".

I think i posted on the previous threads on this laptop when it was on sale that my only gripes on this laptop is mostly software related and that it weirdly boots into the bios on its own sometimes and sometimes (probably a windows thing) the search bar doesnt work. It is also slow to connect to wifi when booted into windows. Most laptops i have have instant internet connections once in windows, this one however i have to wait a min before browsing.
Thanks for the info!

On the fence now since the GN video came out. I normally buy laptops used at a huge discount. If Im gonna buy new Im not sure I'd wanna get it from ASUS.

Maybe if its even lower in the future and I take a gamble.

I think best buys return window is 14 days right? Should be enough to test it out and make sure its got no problems right off the bat.

Did you watch the video? He showed many of his viewers having similar issues and continues to ask for more examples you can email him.

So yes, he's 1 guy with a bad RMA experience but with HUNDREDS more examples of this happening to others.

I thought you guys would like someone watching out for you and trying to get companies to change and HONOR THEIR WARRANTIES. Such a weird take from the people attacking GN for this.

What did you mean then? He's calling out companies so they could change under the pressure of bad PR.

Nobody wants these companies to fail, we just want them to honor their warranties without having to fight tooth and nail to do it.

Who said any of that as well? Do they hate puppies too, what about long walks on the beach and helping turtles cross the road? Really, you and other dude are just inserting words between lines...that were never even hinted at...so you can (basically) argue with your own manufactured outrage.

The adults were talking about bandwagon cancel culture, review bombing, etc.

Not making a comment on if its a widespread problem at Asus or not nor am i trying to defend them (companies who dont honor their policies honestly should be called out) but in general the interwebs is full of complaints/complainers seeking a solution to their problems. You rarely have the other hundreds and maybe even thousands of people who have gone through the process that post about their positive experiences. Just do a search on "asus rma experience positive" and youll find at least a few. Who knows how many else are out there. How many of the "470 sold" on ebay will 1. go through rma and 2. have a bad experience? who knows.

RMA aside, ill be back for more asus laptops like this if they continue the line up whenever in the future i want to upgrade. Unless some other manufacturer comes out with a 13in 2in1 that isnt with a lame intel + iris. So far as it stands currently, ive said it before and ill say it again its a unicorn of a laptop for the niche user like me!

To reduce the liability, this laptop has hit lower than $750 before. Id honestly wait a bit if i were in the market for such a laptop. If it makes anyone feel any better however, I got mine for $870 out the door =(. Its fine though, although a lower price would be better, i find that it has been worth the price i paid.

Every company on earth in every industry has been pushing the limits to see what they can get away with since COVID. They think people are weaker and even more stupid than they did before and are curious to see how far they can push things.

Quote from socalled7 :
This is so sad - I was a big ASUS fan but seriously thinking whether I will buy their products anymore…bought two ASUS laptops recently and considering returning both.

They did give me trouble before with warranty on Best Buy open box items (wouldn't give me full warranty when other brands like HP, Lenovo, and Dell would).

Vote with your money, return it. I've owned a bunch of Asus laptops, mobos, desktops, but I'm sick of their RMA issues which people have been experiencing. No longer buying them until they correct it and release a statement that they are making changes to improve customer experience.

Now every developer claims they are being review bombed if their score or recent score falls below 9/10...

Most of the "review bombing" is honest criticism from verified purchases.

There have been so many games that were almost really fun to play or almost really good games. Video games are essentially the service and entertainment industry. They are art and their only purpose is to be enjoyed.

The CEO's and project managers have a strangle hold on development and are scared to death of taking a risk to make a fun game. They run a skeleton crew where it really matters and work a small team of core developers to death while tying their hands behind their back and not allowing them to be creative or enjoy their work. The devs themselves hate and are often disappointed by the games they make and it shows.

Take cyber punk. COVID and some other issues really messed that game up. They forced it out because they had to and they knew it would sell well regardless because people trusted them. I don't even hold it against them. Look at Cyberpunk now, it is an amazing game and a must play. It made over 200 million dollars just in 2023 off new game sales and Phantom Liberty and has sold 30 million copies of the base game.

Compare it to Mass effect Andromeda. Mass effect, one of the most beloved video game series of all time. Mass effect Andromeda should have been fixed and turned into a masterpiece. It would have done 100's of millions of dollars in sales and been an even bigger success than Cyberpunk and we should have gotten an Andromeda 2 and 3. The difference is that the people in control of cyber punk really loved their game and it showed and the people in control of mass effect had an ego power trip tantrum and they didn't care about their game at all and just had a meltdown because they didn't make the money they expected to. They shot a goose that would have laid golden eggs in the head and acted like clowns.

There is nothing that quite lives up to the monumental foolishness that was mass effect, but that work culture and attitude is the majority and people are getting tired of these cookie cutter games that are almost exciting and almost fun to play and are just kinda meh.

Our standards have not gone up and we are not being hard to please.

The quality of the product has gone down.

There are so many games that prove that. Any game that is fun and was obviously made with love is achieving huge success and overwhelming positive reviews. A great example is Hades. That little indie game did $260,000,000 in sales in a niche genre that is saturated with lower quality games. You don't have to even point at games like Baldur's gate 3 or Eldenring to make this point.

Anything that is actually fun to play in any genre right now is showered with accolades and celebrated right now because most games are so disappointing.

If Starfield was actually more fun and satisfying to play, it would be the uncontested game of the year right now. It didn't have to have better graphics or a better game engine, it didn't have to be perfectly polished and bug free, it didn't need all of the stupid inconsistent stuff in it fixed, and it didn't need a perfect story. The only thing Starfield needed to be praised and celebrated, was some entertaining, funny, and challenging scripted random events chains running on the procedurally generated planets that were fun to engage with, some good easter eggs to give it character and some procedurally generated planet strongholds/dungeons that gave it a casual destiny'ish entertaining end game. That's it, that's all it would have taken for it to be a beloved game. That's light work, those would have been easy things to do. Modders will do it eventually but they are dragging their feet and don't want to support the game because of how their work has been treated in Skyrim and fallout 4.

The outer worlds 2 will blow Starfield away. Not because it is a perfect game and not even because it will be a fundamentally better game even... It will blow Starfield away because it will be a lot of fun to play and have a lot of character and be entertaining because Black Isles studios loves their games and they are run by cool dudes that want to make good games.

Most of the "review bombing" is entirely deserved.

I have it for almost 6 months. I DO NOT recommend this laptop. I don't want to say it's bad (it is) but it's definitely weird. HDMI port is huge that cable comes out if someone nugdes it slightly while walking by. Not suppose to be a gaming laptop but it still heats up watching youtube. Then there is Armoury Crate LOL. That thing is bad. Volume is bad. First Asus laptop for me and I am not happy.
