## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i  add another 1tb pcie 4.0 nvme m.2 performance ssd?**
A: Yes you can add a 2nd NVMe SSD. The case is relatively easy to open, and Asus has a service manual with instructions on their Support website. I put in a Western Digital Black SN850 2TB SSD in the second slot. Performance is unbelievably fast.

**Q: How much gb is the gpu? & could i upgrade to 64gb ram?**
A: GPU has 16GB. Upgrading from the standard 32GB of RAM to 64GB of RAM is possible but voids the warranty of the product.

**Q: What type/brand SSD drive is included?**
A: This model comes with a MICRON 1TB M2 2280 NVME SSD.

**Q: In the wireless type, it states '802.11ax', can 802.11ac work with this laptop?**
A: Yes, AC wireless is backwards compatible with AX.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Gaming Laptop Brand
*by L***L on March 15, 2025*

This is my second ASUS gaming laptop. I switched from the overpriced Alienware. I think ASUS has provided the best value for gaming laptops for at least the last 5 years. I also like how the styling is subdued, so you can use it as a regular laptop without people thinking you're weird.The best features are the screen, the speed, and the relative low temperature. The fan noise can get very high. Top tip: If you put some lego bricks or similar sized items under the back to keep it off the desk, the laptop stays much cooler. I found that works far better than any of those cooling laptop stands. The image quality and brightness of the screen is very good, although I almost always hook it up to my TV. I don't think the battery life is great, but it never is with a gaming laptop. Overall, I would definitely look at ASUS first when I come to buy another laptop.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product!
*by F***O on July 20, 2024*

Handles my photo editing software with amazing speed! Love this laptop! Beautiful case! Sounds is top notch! Have had no issues with heat, however I am not playing games on it, so I can't speak to it's maintaining coolness during intense games.

### ⭐ Amazing laptop with one serious flaw
*by A***D on July 23, 2023*

EDIT: laptop GPU is dead just after 1.5 years of usage. Whole motherboard needs to be replaced for $2900. Absolutely unacceptable.I love this laptop, it is great. I'm gonna list its goods and bads:- The good:1- Beautiful screen.2- Relatively portable.3- Great performance.4- Faily queit.5- The audio quality is great for those who prefer to use laptop speakrs (however, it is not flawlessly amazing, it still could get a little better).6- I like the laptop design.- The bad:1- The coil noise is there. I have around 4 different coil whines in my machine. Bios updates seem to sometimes increase the whine and sometimes it reduces it.2- Since this is a mini-led display, there is a clear halo around the mouse when the creen in a darkeer tone. You can literally see your mouse jump from one LED zone to another.3- There are numerous issues with Advanced Optimus. It takes time to switch. When I close a game, if I quickly eopn the browzer before the switch switches to the iGPU, it will feeeze my screen indefinitely. Also just recently, It apparently stopped switching to dGPU. I no longer see the NVIDIA container pop up in the bottom right corner. The switch sometimes swithes to back to the iGPU (apparently), but the system tray shows the DGPU still running, sometimes it won't stop unless I change the power settings in Armoury Crate (to silent, for example).4- I hate one design issue, which is the heat exasuts to the sides. Because of this, I get too much heat on my right hand that uses the mouse while playing.5- The Ethernet an DC charging ports are just next to the left exaust, making them become too much hot while gaming.- The ugly:1- And it is the reason why I took a star away, the battery life. With power set to battery saving, Armoury Crate set to Silent and Standard, PC on night mode, and screen brightness around 70 and RGB only for the keyboard on the lowest brightness settings, I get around 90 minutes only while browsing or even leaving the laptop idle. This is not acceptable, sice I'm seeing reviews saying this laptop should provide up to 7 hours of browsing experience.Discloser: I'm writing this review to get the 90 days warranty extension by ASUS.
