Review: Powerhouse 'gaming quality' laptop PC; $$(pricey) - Decent, if overpriced laptop. This 2024 version has an Intel 14900HX CPU and the nVidia RTX 4080 laptop GPU w/12GB DDR6 video memory, 32 GB DDR5 SO-DIMM system memory; comes with 1TB SK hynix NVME SSD, I added a second NVME myself (Samsung 990Evo 2TB) for storage. The screen is nice, high refresh rate but only 16" so a come down from my desktop system's large 4K. Nonetheless, it looks great. Some minor scaling issues, but that was software based and seems to be solved. Heat has been an issue, so I got a laptop cooling 'pad' w/ 2 fans and it's doing better. Seems to run cooler, just noisy (but wearing headphones I hardly notice it). If it's throttling at the higher temps, I haven't noticed it in performance during gaming. I used it a lot at the beginning, but then switched to my desktop when I upgraded that (finally). Still, I'm glad I have it for when I have to travel. I've not had any failure so far.
Review: Great laptop but watch out, it pushes all the limits + Keyboard is NOT replacable! + BMS/PSU issue - EDIT: The issue of the keyboard that I mentioned below turned out to be catastrophic. To summarize a long story, the CPU area overheats which overtime melts some parts of the keyboard above it causing the middle keys around D-F and 5-8 to become dysfunctional. Then you go to ASUS official repair places listed on their website but they cannot fix it because the assembly palmrest top + keyboard is no longer available. And the keyboard itself cannot be replaced without the whole assembly due to being attached together by melted plastic rivet pillars. If you cut these to put the new keyboard in place nothing will hold that keyboard. CONCLUSION: you buy an amazing pricey laptop only for it to become unusable and unrepairable due to a few $1 keys. Outrageous! Don't make the same mistake. - This is a great laptop with potential issues because it packs A LOT of power in very little space, and at that point it starts to push the limits of physics in terms of cooling and even interference! I run it on Linux Slackware and managed to put 2x48GB of DDR5 in it, and 2x8TB NVMEs. 96GB of ram is beyond the specs and I originally wondered why they only support 64GB officially. You won't believe what I discovered after WEEKS of struggling with memtest86... The reason why only 64 is supported is because the 2 dimms are too close from each other and you sometimes get a single bit-flip due to interferences between the 2 dimms! I know this seems insane but I reproduced that many times. Then I placed a thick piece of copper between the 2 dimms and I could never reproduce. Just imagine how far we've come with speed so that bits can jump from a dimm to another... Then there's the heating of the CPU/GPU, and yes you have to be careful and things can easily get unstable if you don't have the right combination of kernel and drivers, which personally took me forever to figure out, with all sorts of strange bugs and crashes under load. So overall, I would only recommend it if you actually need that performance, because if you don't you may want to buy something more forgiving that will be easier to keep stable under load. CONS NUMBER 1: The keyboard cannot be replaced. Mine started having trouble with the keys 7 & 8 (registers multiple times or none when I press them). I found the keyboard online and ordered it from China, only to realize that the keyboard in this laptop is held in place with a metal plate that has plastic rivets melted to the front plastic panel, so yes you could replace the keyboard but you could never hold the new one in place correctly. This is VERY unfortunate because you end up with an insane laptop ruined by 2 keyboard keys worth 20 cents each... CONS NUMBER 2: ASUS has issues with their BMS/PSU system so that sometimes you end up throttling down the CPU to unusable performance for no reason at all (it tries to limit the power even though everything is cold so your CPU stays at 800MHz at all times). After loads of research I finally understood that bug and the way to get out of it is to (surprisingly / counter-intuitively) unplug the PSU to let it run on battery for a few seconds, then replug it, and BAM the limit is removed. I updated the BIOS/firmware but this did not solve it. In conclusion, know what you're buying. A laptop that is very difficult to get right, that you can eventually get right (stable) with a lot of effort (is it worth it?) and that might still have a tiny issue that ruins it all. Obviously terrible battery capacity since TSA limits batteries to 100Wh and this laptop is absurdly power-hungry due to GPU and CPU, even this super bright screen too (great screen).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top notch performance
*by F***T on August 28, 2025*

Runs fast and stays cool. Fans aren't too loud. Beautiful and bright display. It's very well built using high quality plastic. Super easy to expand storage and memory. Lots of RGB to play around with. Performs great even when running on the battery. Battery can last up to 6 hours with things like web browsing. Nice built in speakers, they get pretty loud for a laptop and have decent bass.
