I got this model a few months back, mine came with 8gb of ram and I added another stick of 8gb. I wiped Windows and installed CachyOS, it gets 20-30 more fps than it did on Windows, dependingon the game. I highly recommend CachyOS to anyone who gets this laptop.

Just barely bought and returned one of these for this price. It's a really good laptop for a lot of reasons, and the 4050 is solid, but the CPU in this one is actually pretty weak. I wasn't looking at it specifically because the GPU is usually the bottleneck in a laptop. I really liked almost everything else about it but it didn't fulfill my needs

No integrated graphics so battery life is going to be terrible. If its like the model with a 4060 it'll last 2 hrs on battery life.

Yep only 4 cores/8 threads of old-generation Zen 3 and no iGPU at all. This CPU has been binned many times

Thanks for posting this OP Smilie

Not 100 percent sure but.. I think there's a second vacant slot to put another m2 ssd drive in there?

Hopefully the 12 GB ram they're talking about is a single 12 GB stick.. if the link above is correct looks like there's two ram slots

Don't these still have motherboard issues, dying every 2 months?
That was the Intel version and problems were mostly reported from Indian users on reddit. I am guessing maybe humid/heat in that region could of been a factor.
Pretty sure I saw more than just Intel issues from Indians.

While 16GB is not enough and 3A game size is closer to 100GB. We have to upgrade memory and storage after purchasing this laptop with low end graphics to make final cost going up. It's better to buy some new one with better spec for paying few hundreds more.

This seems to be just as good as a deal if you want a faster processor, 16GB of RAM so that you don't need to purchase and install additional RAM, and a better quality build system https://slickdeals.net/share/iphone_app/t/18625645?referrerid=1006368&utm_term=user-1006368

I bought an open box. Good for the price, but it's heavy. Unused space around screen. Keyboard has unnecessary mini number keys, making hard to press backspace.

Is this fast enough to play cs 2 on decent settings at 200 fps?
Probably, but it's only 144hz screen. If you have a 200+ hz monitor to do what you're asking about, don't buy a laptop - desktop PC all the way if you're looking at a desktop setup anyway.

Hopefully catchyOS doesn't get stuck in your head

Unfortunately, can't connect it to my CalDigit TS3+ dock through USBc because the LOQ doesn't have Thunderbolt/USB4. While I can still connect an external monitor, wireless mouse, and keyboard using the existing HDMI and USB-A ports, it defeats the purpose of my single Thunderbolt-cable dock. This seemed like a good deal at first but simply doesn't meet my needs.

Was looking at this one too but Asus has consistently disappointed me in the past to the point that I refuse to give them any more of my money. I find that 75% of the time if something breaks, they will do whatever they can to not cover it and if by some miracle they agree to fix it, you will have to wait so long on top of owing so much in fee's that it's not even worth it to get it repaired.

Here are some high profile youtubers weighing in in case you need more proof.
